Laugh or Cry?

Don't know if I should laugh or cry at this? It looks so much like Playmobil. You wonder what they're thinking over there at The LEGO Group, sometimes.

And this bothers me. Why the hell would you name a set, exactly the same as the classic? Makes no sense at all.

Update: I've come to really love the Duplo Castle sets. In 2006, LEGO stores were clearing out Duplo dragons... I ended up buying 3-4 of them in different colors, and made sort of a wizards vehicle with one, for a floating rock MOC.

COLTC Display at Starbase Columbus

We (COLTC) set up a small 2 table today at Starbase Columbus. I'll link to pictures when John Bucy post them... It's a nice little shop on the north side of town (Erika & I hadn't been up that way in a long time). The owner, Bill, sells LEGO. He had a life sized Knight's Kingdom Jayko sculpture. We were there to help promote LEGO 'awareness'. :)

My Moonbase Module

Just finished working on my moonbase module for BrickFest DC 2004. It's not much, but it's a start.

Update: To be honest, I don't know what I was thinking. The color scheme is all wrong & doesn't match any space sub-theme. It needed greebling. There's no minifigs or robots or moonscaping. It looks like it was thrown together in 15 minutes (but in all honest, took about an hour because I had to go digging for parts in unsorted bins.

LEGO Clearance at Target

Just got back from Target... they've got sets 50% off. Picked up a few buckets of Duplo, 3 Spiderman sets, & a few Harry Potter Sets.
