Happy birthday Abbey

[MA]

now its all coming to light.

and those lego sets can get pretty complex for a child. i would assume its getting the right pieces in the right places, otherwise you'll be fucked when a certain element you mistakenly used for something else is needed somewhere else. i assume.

[enchilado]

I always got the pieces in the right places. I remember when I was about twelve watching a friend putting a Bionicle together, and he totally sucked at it. He was older than me, too.

I felt sorry for him

[Wil]

Wait, is this the Medieval Village set that includes a turkey?

WICKED!

I read on one site that turkeys weren't present in Medieval Britain, but neither were trolls, dragons or dwarves.

Methinks this isn't Medieval Britain at all.


If that's the set you got her, OANST, then by God I'm jealous!

[Wil]

Everyone knows that turkeys, trolls, dragons and dwarves are all New World organisms.

[enchilado]

I was thinking more along the lines that it's FANTASY.

[Wings of Fire]

I disupte the historical accuracy of that scene.

[MA]

yeah, not enough turkeys are being thrown.

[Wil]

I was thinking more along the lines that it's FANTASY.

Based on the numbers of trolls, dragons and dwarves in the scene?

[enchilado]

No, based on the numbers of trolls, dragons and dwarves in the other sets of the Castle series: http://castle.lego.com/en-us/Products/default.aspx


EDIT: Note also Skeletons and their undead steads.

[Wil]

Yeah, skeletons don't really exist.

[enchilado]

You win. It's all real after all.

[Wings of Fire]

I dispute the historial accuracy of the scythe as a viable weapon for combat.

Everything else in that scene looks fine to me, I like how authentic the warlock's hat is.

[Wil]

Well obviously if you stand them up and make them walk around with weapons in their hands. Might as well glue your Town buildings to the ceiling in an attempt to discredit Lego's respect for physics.

I dispute the historial accuracy of the scythe as a viable weapon for combat.

Who said the skeleton (or the person who was reduced to a skeleton) was a warrior? The shield was probably to protect the farmer from small dragons that made their nests in punctured tennis balls left in the fields by rogue conservationists.

[enchilado]

FFS

[Wings of Fire]

Everything seems in order there...

[enchilado]

I GIVE UP UR AL SO MEEN

[Wil]

Lego people's legs don't bend like that, not unless you partially melt them. I call shenanigans.

[OANST]

She was helping. We built it together. This one was fairly complicated, though.+


That is the set, yes.

[enchilado]

Wow! She is one lucky girl! You don't even want to know what I would've done to get this set when I was six.

[Sekto Springs]

Happy Birthday, you small thing.

Mat, be sure to show her this thread years from now. When she's old enough to not be emotionally scarred by her father's exposing her to a forum full of potentially dangerous internet persons.

[enchilado]

What, me? Potentially dangerous?

[Nate]

I'm pretty sure he was talking about WoF.

[Wings of Fire]

I'm good with children.

[Nate]

"Hey kid, want a lolly?"

[shaman]

Oh by the way WOF, the answer is yes, you can buy my big, white, windowless van with great central locking and a duped registration.

[Taco]

Who's Abbey? Oh and happy birthday

[MA]

GET OUT

YOU'RE NOT SINCERE
joke.

[OANST]

Wow! She is one lucky girl! You don't even want to know what I would've done to get this set when I was six.

Hell, You don't want to know what I did for it. I'll tell you, anyway. Full. Time. Job. I know. I know. I'm as disgusted as the rest of you.

[Nate]

Both of my parents had Full. Time. Jobs. by the time I was six. I still wouldn't have gotten that set.



Aside from anything, my dad would have pointed to the massive pile of random, brightly coloured lego in the rumpus room and said "Can't you just build a castle with that?
