(There may be more, but what I know is these products.
If you know any other products that are suspected of being stolen, please share them with us!)
The product creators of 75827 and 75936 have interviewed that the Lego company has eliminated their products and released them without prior notice.
In particular, there is an article saying that the producer of the 75827 Ghostbusters Fire Station was angry that his creation was stolen by a Lego company.
The LEGO company's official description of this is:
They say Lego designers made it entirely internally.
Personally, I think it's a lie.
I think those products stole the creator's idea.
A lot of people will think the same way as I do.
Personally, I think The LEGO company's have created Lego ideas to reduce the labor costs of designers and to get more reference materials using people for the company's benefit.
That way, we can tell people which products are selling better, and we don't have to pay the creators a sales fee, so we think it's just stealing the creators' ideas.
Judgment is your freedom.
It's your choice whether to continue uploading your valuable creations online or not, even if you're suspicious of theft.
To stop the Lego company from doing that anymore,
We should no longer upload our creations to the Internet, including Lego Ideas, Lego communities around the world.
The Lego company should no longer lie or steal.
We want the truth, we want an apology, and we need to change so that there are no more victims.
And pay fair fees to existing victims.
Until then, we should no longer give free references to Lego companies.
Please spread this article to everyone so that one more person can know. Please!
I felt like showing off the periscope I just spent an hour fighting with. If all goes well, it should be in an upcoming MOC (though not what you expect) :)
So, during my single light project i wasted a lot of time searching for ideas and I took a bunch of images that are not worth posting. However, with this shot i was adjusting the power-output and measuring the distance between the camera and flash and subject (because i can't quite wrap my mind around the selection of the recommended ISO/power-output/shutter/aperture as per the guide number and getting the result I like yet)
anyway, the reason i appreciate this image is because of the light falloff. In short, i was standing in a fluorescent lamp lit parking lot and the light falloff during this capture completely blacked out the back ground (i know its nothing new or fascinating to the experienced strobist)
this was taken the same night of this image: www.flickr.com/photos/tehimages/7305722328/in/photostream/

Every day that I was in Las Vegas at the NADA workshops I would take my notes in adobe ideas on my iPad.
On every page I would doodle a robot :-)
I have no idea what's going on here … and it's quite likely that there is really nothing going on.
I had been watching the guy in the middle for a while, mostly because he was staring intently at everyone who walked by. Or maybe not … maybe he was just listening to his music with great intensity.
But them the guy on the left strolled past, and the contrast between the two was so striking that I had to photograph it. I didn't even focus on the guy in the background, on the right hand side of the photo … but he seems to add to the overall mystery of the scene.
Note: I chose this as my "photo of the day" for Sep 27, 2013.
************************
I had a brief business trip to Moscow in the fall of 2013 -- arriving in the city on a Saturday morning, relaxing for the rest of the weekend, then a day of intense business at a computer conference on Monday, and finally back to NYC on Tuesday morning -- and I was hoping that I could take advantage of my brief period of free time to get some photographs of the city. Ideally, I was hoping to visit Red Square at sunrise and sunset; and I even considered taking one of those garishly-colored tour buses around the city to see what might be interesting.
Alas, none of that happened, simply because of the weather: it was raining when I arrived on Saturday morning, it was raining harder when I left on Tuesday morning, and it drizzled and rained most of the time in between. Some people enjoy walking around in the rain, but I'm not one of them. I also don't really enjoy trying to photograph during rainy weather, though I know that it's sometimes possible to get some really interesting results. And I have to admit that I'm pretty paranoid about getting my digital cameras wet.
As it turned out, there was one brief break in the weather, late on the Sunday afternoon: the rain stopped, the clouds cleared, and the sun even came out. I grabbed my little Sony RX-100 MkII pocket camera, leaving my larger Sony A65 DSLR behind, and headed out of my hotel, walking a couple blocks up Neglinnaya Street to a shopping promenade on Kuznetskiy Most -- where there were throngs of people strolling, shopping, and enjoying various unrecognizable snacks and munchies from little food stalls along the street.
I walked around for a while, and then found a quiet bench where I could park myself and watch the ebb and flow of traffic in both directions on Kuznetskiy Most, snapping shots of anything (and anyone) that looked interesting. At the end of an hour, I had gotten some 375 shots … and then the clouds returned, and the rain commenced once again. I scampered back to my hotel before the rain got too heavy, uploaded the digital images to my laptop computer, and did most of the editing on the long 9-hour flight back to New York a couple days later.
A couple of these photos could have been taken anywhere: you can't really tell whether you're looking at something in the middle of New York City, or the middle of Moscow. But some of them -- indeed, most of them -- show us a mix of faces and dress styles and architecture that could only have been taken in Moscow...
Here's a nice 360 view of the oak tree of my Lego Modular Expansion Pack.

I was hoping to be shooting with my new lights tonight, but due to a monumental stuff up on the camera store's behalf, I wont be using my new lights until at least next week.
So, here's another shot from the other night, somehow after failing to pop water balloons on my face with force I figured I'd give the balloon a little helping hand.
I have a few ideas for photos finally, so hopefully you'll all be seeing some more fun stuff from me soon.

This idea is something I've wanted to try with Micropolis for a while. Here, I've combined it with my idea for a new type of module connection, but this concept can be designed for the existing standard as well.
I've also gone with a variation of the H connector suggested by nstohlma which uses technic parts.
I've gotten wider roads before by just putting a wider road on my module, and that works, but that takes studs away from the building design. I wanted to do it with my Fountain Plaza Tower, but ended up not being able to because I had a particular design I needed to achieve with the building model, and it ended up being just small enough to fit. It would also be permanent, and it'd be nice to decide how wide roads will be.
The one thing this design lacks is a solution for when two widened roads intersect. There would be a sinkhole in the middle of the intersection. The other drawback of this is that your widened road must run from one end of the layout to ther other. I don't see a way around that.
Mark ‘Spoonman’ Petrakis (a.k.a. Dr. Zboon) stopped by to discuss shadow theater ideas for a puppet show we are developing for various storytelling experiments under way at Pataphysical Studios. We plan to perform our first play this fall, during our Dada exhibit at the Canessa Gallery in North Beach.
Tentatively called ‘Ubu’s Dreams’, this shadow puppet presentation would feature Père Ubu, the hero of Alfred Jarry’s surreal plays at the turn of the last century. The premise is that Ubu is constantly dreaming, interacting with archetypal characters from diverse myths and legends, connecting us with our collective unconscious.
We now propose to flesh out this idea by acting out a couple short sketches in coming weeks. We will start by laser cutting small wood figures like the Ubu character we are playing with here, and perhaps using some of the creatures created by our maker art students.
These wood figures can also be used as wearable art, such as the necklace and pendant idea shown here. Stay tuned.

What if we (the Lego community) made a group which taught "Noobs" how to act? Like a "Flickr Etiquette" Group. We'd have several Admins who would post discussions on various topics.
In one topic we would describe not only how to comment, but also how to add photos, links, and what to, and what not to say. As in "Don't use 'lol' as the entirety of your comment" and stuff like that. The topics would vary from photography, to commenting, to groups and beyond.
Not only would this help solve the ever-present "Noob Alert", but it could also assist bringing them to their full potential.
I've seen my fair share of frustrated builders who are decent, but don't know how to photograph their creations, or how to type well, and have just given up because when they go to ask questions, they're treated like idiots (which sometimes they are). They receive stuff like "stfu noob" and just get pounded into the ground.
As the respected members of this community, we need to help them.
I've been so frustrated by how we (myself included) treat them, and it's the time to change that. With this group we can give them the tools they need to become their full potential.
So, I'm going to start a group called "Flickr Etiquette" and if you'd like to assist me in this venture to train these fellow MOCers up, then share your ideas with me, I'd love to have you on the team.
