Hello all,

I’ve build a vignette which I’m able to wear as a badge during events. It combines two of the three themes that kind of signify me within the LEGO community: trains and the Clikits trademark girls.



Attached at the back is a black LEGO refrigirator-magnet brick. With the aid of 3 non-LEGO super-strong mini magnets, I can wear the contraption without doing harm to the fabric of my shirt.



Here you see one of the mini magnets clinging to the LEGO refrigirator magnet-brick, and the other two lay in front. In fact, these magnets are so strong that I could not move them any closer to the model. If I did, they would simply fly up and slam agains the LEGO refrigirator-magnet brick.

Because of the large track part, it would classify as a “double vig” according to the Size Chart for Vignettes. I’ve chosen to use this part instead of simulating a (smaller) piece of track, because of it’s strongness and instant recogniseablility.

With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.

Yet another nice update!

By now, you may have noticed that Clikits trademark/icon figures Daisy, Heart and Star are restyled each year, recieving new clothes to wear, a different hairdo, accessories and so on. This time I’ve added images of the girls in their “standard”-outfit for year 2005, in this fashion each of them also appeared as a sculptured key ring figurine in the “Jewels-n-More”-sets 7533, 7534 and 7535



This year also the girls had a makeover, these are their “standard”-outfits for year 2006:


Finally, I kindly thank the Lugnet member that took the effort to highlight my previous update message.


With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.

Manfred,

When I went to the moderation queue and saw this I laughed out loud.

Very funny! I like it.

It’s update time!

I’ve processed 3 new images featuring the Clickits trademark/icon figures, showing Daisy, Heart or Star in sparkling dance-party outfits, as they appear (as some sort of reward, I guess) after you guided each respective character through the mall-maze game.



After moderation, the rest of my “Clickits girls” image collection may be viewed here: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=68995

With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.

Not meaning to be an ad or anything but, I think it's worth mentioning that
eight Clikits sets are big-time marked down at lego.com. One has the "X"
element, which is a personal fav of mine, and the green leaves which are hard to
come by. That's set 10117 (half price, $2.50)

We already had several copies of the real BNSF set present on LEGOWORLD 2004. One is shown here:

The Clikits fragment seen in the back of the picture isn’t a poster or banner, but a realy nice bedcover + pillow case set, newly available through Shop at Home:

(difference is in the size of the pillow case)

With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.

If you realy want those images, and are prepared to put some effort into it, you could grab the individual ‘tiles’, and ‘seem’ these together with MS-paint or a more sophisticated bitmap editing program.

I did something similar grabbing pictures of the Clikits trademark girls in their new 2004 outfits from http://www.clikits.com/creative/cnp.asp Because the most zoomed out pictures where too large to fit on any of the stationary templates, I had to capture them in parts, and like a magician after sawing them in half, had to reassemble the poor girls.

Just in case you think: “What is he talking about”, the results are here: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/moom/Clikits/2004_daisy_standing.gif
