Oh man, you'r making me shake in fear.
If you don't mind me asking, did you get them off Bricklink? I just want to see how many other the members use Bricklink. It's a great site!

No, Eurobricks. I use Bricklink often though. 61 feedback and counting!

Wow. 61 feedback is amazing! I've made 6 orders, and only have five feedback. But, I have only been a member there since around Easter time.

Yeah, I've been a member since November 08. I have 20 points on Eurobricks too. I'm looking for a few more Blue Coats though. A few more shakos, a couple tri-corners, and one Admiral.

Not for long princess.

I've never used Bricklink. Nothing wrong with it, I've been sorely tempted to at times, I just haven't got round to clicking any buttons yet. Every brick I own comes from a set.

The_Empire wrote: Does anyone think $20 can buy all that?

Certainly! You just can't buy the minifigs together, you have to buy the pieces alone, and then put them together. It's much cheaper, and also saves on shipping.

@JCC- Shakos are very expensive, but tricorns are very easy to get. In my last two orders I was able to get about 20 mix of brown and black ones, for less than $10.00. They look so good on my 22nd regiment of foot.

Not all the hats are pictured there. The rest I used for a secret project.

@DunJohn-Bricklink is a perfect site. I used to only buy sets, but in this economy, I find Bricklink much cheaper. I've only had one bad order, and never have I had another bad one.

Well we'll see about that, Bluecoat Barnacle!

Okay then, the race begins!

I know that they are but I was talking about the soldiers with shakos. They still are quite expensive but the tricorn soldier aren't too much less. I'd rather spend a little more to get what I really want then save a bit and get something I don't want as much.

I really should use that as a motto when I buy on Bricklink. It does make good sense.

Everyone should!

He he... Regretting those Arkham guards, Ninja, Crash Test Dummy, and sig-fig parts?

Nobody can go without sigfig parts! I once did a whole Bricklink order just so I could get some sigfigs that I could use in MOCs and contests, like the ToR2. I also use Redcoat sigfigs as the leaders of my army, they do come in handy!
There is also a project that is a secret that I have only mentioned a few times.....

Very true. I got all of my parts for about five bucks! Pretty good for the amount of rare parts. I only have one copy but I'm looking for more.

Today's loot.

Strange...strange stuff indeed. What is it? Brickforge? Brickarms?

Brick Arm prototypes.

Decal designing job.

Okay...I wish I could get a job to get some Rattling boxes, being a kid and all.

Did you see the Halo collectible minifigs that Megabloks are doing? There's no fig with a needler yet, but it's definitely something to keep an eye on. I got one or two and the weapons are perfect for Legomen.

I just got the Lego Star Wars visual dictionary and 2 series 2 collectable minifigures! (The surfer and the vampire!)

I want that claymore so bad. It has such an amazing design.

Great figs! Having all of them, I recommend most of them. And can you post a link or image of those Halo Collectible minifigs?

I posted photos of mine in a thread on eurobricks:

I also have a block when it comes to custom parts. I've a great respect for BrickArms and the other custom brick shops and I admire a lot of their creations, but when it comes to actual MOCs, I can never use anything but actual Lego parts. And whenever I spot custom parts in a MOC, it somehow lessens the awesomeness for me in a way that I can't help. It's weird, and a little contradictory, but it's just how I perceive things. I think it's because Lego is so streamlined (the minifigs don't even have elbows) that going outside the box makes me think it's cheating in a small way.

You really should buy Brickarms, they really are awsome!

TLG seems to be making more and more official parts that resemble BrickForge and BrickArms parts. I prefer BrickForge over BrickArms though.

All of my posts here and other places had to be deleted for a reason that is staff business. If you remember what I said, than you can reply to my "posts"
