Amy has got her pilots licence. And ever the practical girl she's fitted The Red Baron to her biplane. You never know when you might need a MiniChamp

Amy is a smart girl!

Nice pic Bill!

She could be a Pioneer * !


*sorry in joke there, she's named Amy after Amy Johnson who was a aviatrix at the same time as Amelia Earhart

Proving that the forum is educational....I just learned something about aviation history!

Both Amy and Amelia's story fascinate me. Really pioneering women at the dawn of aviation. Amelia is obviously well known but Amy has fallen into the shadows a bit in recent years which is a shame. They both pushed quite a few boundaries

And let it be noted that today marks forty years since the minifig was created.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE PEOPLE!

Mine are currently on a mission- they never get a day off.

Any ideal on how tall that giraffe was??? It almost looks life size, but I’m sure they take them in at night time. Thanks for sharing.

Happy birthday guys and gals 

Is the mission objective on a need to know basis?

I didn't measure it, but knowing that Giraffes are 4 to 5.5 meters high on average (grown females and males, respectively) I'd consider it a full grown Giraffe in LEGO, so more or less close to the real size.   Here you see people next to it, yes it was a big LEGO figure 



The Giraffe's ears had two "10" written in them in LEGO blocks, maybe it's the 10th anniversary of LEGOLand Berlin, or other 10th anniversary, but it could also be 10+10 = 20 feet  (not that feet are a metric/EU measurement unit) which would be 6 meters the height of the tallest giraffes out there

That’s one big LEGO! I didn’t think it would be that big, but it is! Thanks!

What awesome pics!!

It's 6m tall and has been there 11 years, the tail is made of 3500 pieces, and apparently was stolen...

Snake cult. Actually, spider cult to be technical. That's what happens when I find a still sealed Shelob set at the flea market with a ridiculously low price on it.

I'm not in a position to release an unedited action report, Mag, sorry. Brick Force deployments are usually so need to know the agents flashy thing themselves before debriefing. This is what I can admit to:

Brick Force deployed multiple assets including plainclothes operatives in two recon teams,Taskforce [REDACTED] augmented by thaumatological support agents, the [REDACTED] wing and special assets PHOENIX and [REDACTED]. This decision was made based on analysis of current intelligence reports concerning the outcome events stemming from the Council of [REDACTED]; this was self deployment due to a lack of human oversight and a perceived immediate need. They did leave a note saying where they were going, when they would be back, who they were, and their objective.

Agents in indigenous garb inserted by [REDACTED] to Point AMIDALA at [REDACTED] hours, and approached Points BILLABA and BONTERI on foot where they began observation of the target area. At that time they confirmed local security forces were avoiding the region do to the target's reputation as an "orc eatter" (sic). At [REDACTED] hours, recon team BILLABA reported plot critical protagonists under the leadership of [REDACTED] were overdue to leave the target's lair, and the local security forces were were approaching. At that time, on site command issued a GO order. Taskforce [REDACTED] element R roped in as a blocking force from asset PHOENIX and [REDACTED] at points CLOVIS, CODY and CORDE, as the remainder of Taskforce [REDACTED] (element I) with taumetlogical assets deployed to point DODONNA via "temporarily stolen" Lamba-class shuttle with [REDACTED] wing flying in support.

The team at DODONNA immediately made forced entry to the on-site tunnel complex using chemical explosives and magic. After making the breach, they encountered multiple arachnids of not less than 50kg and engaged using electomagnetic slugthrowers, blasters, vibroblades and concussion grenades. After releasing multiple canisters of a heavier than air, long persistence arachnicide (refer to file on COMPOUND ORKIN27), they proceed to clear surviving, non-plot critical opfor to prevent them from reinforcing enemy SHELOB. At this time, psiint suggested that plot critical protagonist [REDACTED] was down but [ITEM] had been recovered by sidekick [REDACTED] who had neutralized enemy SHELOB. Members of Taskforce [REDACTED] located and confirmed the status of enemy SHELOB while avoiding detection by indigenous personnel.

At that time, it was observed that local security forces were approaching point DODONNA and asset PHOENIX and [REDACTED] wing engaged with fire and locally improvised kinetic weapons from the air, and by security teams CLOVIS and CODY with direct slugthrower, blaster and missile fire. Taskforce [REDACTED] members who had entered the tunnel network exited through point DODONNA and boarded their shuttle. It was estimated that local security forces had suffered approximately 90% losses and could be avoided by plot critical protagonist, formerly sidekick, [REDACTED] to continue his mission to destroy [REDACTED] at the magma vents in the region of location MUSTIFAR.

Recon team BILLABA reported dismounted and mounted friendly local forces under the command of codename STRIDER approaching the main gates of the enemy force stronghold. Analysis indicated that local friendly forces were there in a distractionary role rather intending to defeat the enemy by direct force (99.4% confidence)., Recon team BILLABA proceeded to infiltrate local forces for the states of reasons of "duuuuude, why not" and "got to die of something" and were later extracted by [REDACTED]. Recon team BONTERI returned on foot to point AMIDALA, where they encamped along with part of TASKFORCE [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] wing, to act as QRF if the local liberation forces under the leadership of codename STRIDER were unable to provide sufficient distraction.

The TASKFORCE [REDACTED] assets normally assigned to infiltrate the opposing force in their operational continuum returned to their normal postings and "unstole" the LAMBDA shuttle.

On seeing signs of successful destruction of the item known as [REDACTED] at codename MUSTIFAR and deployment of CSAR assets under the command of codename WHITE to extract any surviving plot critical protagonists, recon team BONTERI and the remaining Taskforce [REDACTED] members exited via [REDACTED] wing and assets PHEONIX and [REDACTED] at local midnight. At an altitude of CLASSIFIED meters to avoid observation from indigenous personnel, these Brick Force assets returned to their home continuum via a class IX portal spell. After debrief and medcheck, all remaining Taskforce [REDACTED] assets returned to their normal operation continuum and posts.

All special equipment including all chemical, biological, atomic and antimatter weapons have been accounted for and returned other than the canisters of ORKIN27. All non-continumm personal weapons and equipment have been accounted for. Photographic evidence and the trophy head confirm that SHELOB is no longer in service within her native continuum.

Recon Team BONTERI used a ground based portal spell to make a series short ranged continuum skips via continuums [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], and [REDACTED]. Initial debriefing suggest their thaumatologic support personnel were too drunk to make it one jump, despite a clearly agreed upon counter tracking claim (97% wordmatch including exact phrasing, inflection and excessively precise details shared by all members). The presence of multiple bottles of firepepper brandy and the remains of "pipeweed" found in their kit supports the "too drunk to cast straight" theory to explain why they were overdue and not duty ready.

After consultation with the Intell and Media Manipulation shop, we've agreed to declassify a visible light photo captured from a helmet cam. I apologize for the poor quality image, the agent was not holding still when facing something that dangerous and that big. Keep in mind that they were using a multi-spectral imaging targetting system integrated into their helmets or visors, so they only use lights in an emergency. It was run through the digitial scrubber to maximize the useful details.

I mean, they did splatter a two ton spider to be sure it was really dead.
