No wonder the master builders failed to take the tower on the first attack, they are lucky the sea cow didn't become the sea-submarine

(note where the cannon are placed...several full sized ships suffered from similar design flaws !)

JFP

It's like a rocket sled on rails

Really, you have to consider how you build to consider what is the best way to sort. I tend towards part/colour division, but remember, it is usually easier to seperate out by colour than by part...(don't sort by colour, is my strong suggestion !)

You can see some bits of my storage system(s) in the lego set: http://www.flickr.com/photos/47105471@N05/sets/72157628741705459/ There are a large # of drawers, and about 100 lego tubs (22 and 11 L versions) used to provide the majority of the material. Additional storage is found in the little 25 d...

OK, so as some people are aware, I have been working on a new lego bridge.

I know it is possible to motorize the Toy Story 3 train, there was one at BrickCon that was done. Apparently, it uses the regular (6 AAA) battery pack, not the Li Ion rechargable battery pack. Basically, it used the outside portions of the boxcar (with the $ signs on the doors) to surround the gear ...

I know- next thing you know, there will be a fleabay sale of all kinds of train stuff, and a surge in the price of blay

Congrats John,

James
