I have the same thing and it sucks. The idea of creating out of bricks is ok but the price ? fuck and hell with it .

I just got addicted to lego indiana jones original adventures.

What the heck? I wasted time and money on getting and making Lego Creator to work when this was around?

found the custom desginer thing lacking manny small pices needed for making smiller less blocky constructs.

Bought my self the brick beards bounty after waiting ten years for the pirates to return.

Hey, Eric-- If you liked Lego Digital Designer, try LDraw. It too will let you price and order the kit you build. I have been using it for years, mostly messing with the Technic pieces, making motorcycles and such.

Great... now I gotta see if it'll run under Ubuntu. (*Grumble*)

Yay for Linux!

eeYUP! Oddly, it was my online DJ'ing that 'forced' my hand once and for all.

I use Fedora Core 6 myself

Why 6?

My boss gave it to me a few years ago and I've been using it ever since.

DUDE, UPDATE...
Fedora (Formally Fedora Core) is on Version 10 (or 11-Beta if you are willing to deal with Rawhide, and before you sag the beta... know this. Rawhide is known to eat babies, can be VERY unstable, YMMV, etc.), it what I am on currently... It's not bad, very big library of software, works well for near bleeding edge stuff. If you don't care for an update every 6 months, you could always move into the RHEL-clones (the biggest one among them is CentOS), but that I will leave for another day.

The reason that I urge this is the fact that Zod (Fedora Core 6's code name... Yes, it's a Superman reference and if you think that is bad... 11's codename is... Leonidas... Take that for what you will) is dead. 6 hit it's End of Life a few months after the 8 release, it's something of a risk if you keep using it on a production machine (or a desktop for that matter) since there will be NO more updates for 6.

Truthfully, I've been busy playing around with Knoppix and Ubuntu as well. I don't use Linux that often but you're right. I really should upgrade. I kind of feel like  ews because he uses AMIGA computers for a lot of his art (if not all of it) and I'm using an outdated Linux distribution. But since the Fedora core 6 was what I learned how to use linux with I've just kept using it. I may download at least Red Hat 9. We'll see.

If you use RH9, you would be going backwards.... I would not suggest it. Mind you, it's so old that it's not a target for much. YMMV, but I am not going to say do it for the same reason that I am not suggesting you stay with 6. No updates and the servers for the last update's are dead.

You know, it's odd, I have been using Linux for about 6/7 years now, and only twice I have been tempted to use Ub. And yeah, I have been on Fedora for all of that time... I guess it the challenge that it gives me to why I keep using it on top of being able to do everything that Ub is capable of elsewhere (and the simple fact that Gentoo's default "Install" process scares the living daylights out of me... Compile from scratch, crazy...)

Knoppix and the MANY other LiveCD's out there are useful to have around. I have not grabbed one from Klaus, but then it might be because LiveCD's are all the rage in Linux. Fedora as of 8 has a few, Ub and it's derivatives always has one, OpenSUSE does it, Mandriva has one...You use a linux distro now, they are likely to have at least ONE LiveCD.They all owe Klaus some thanks.
That said, aside from the Fedora LiveCD's I have, there is one you might want to look into. It's called Parted Magic, it's a simple Live for the purpose of Partitioning and has most of you need for that, it has saved me quite a few times... helps with data recovery (so long as the drive [or partition] in question is not encrypted, never tested on one that is). You can get it here, http://partedmagic.com/ . As I said, it's quite handy.

Thanks a lot. I'll check it out

I had that (and used it to create a couple of ship designs), but my vid card's out of date, so I need to pick up a new one before I can use LDD again. It is pretty damn addicting, though, and more fun than building with real life Legos, since you're not restricted to number of bricks; brick type; or brick color.

Ebay Lots of bricks for sale :)

I went looking around Ebay at one time for Legos. There was a lot of "big bag full of random blue stuff"

LDD is like crack for us kids who grew up with that stuff. I downloaded it a few months ago and spent an entire weekend recreating the Black Knights' Castle from like 1993.

What's that? Lego overpricing their products? That's Lunacy!

I suppose I can't really blame them for doing that. I guess all you can hope for is megablocks taking up the slack and selling THEIR parts, too

Ah Legos. I used to love to build with them.

NOOOOO NOT AGAIN i'm clean clean I tell you

LDD, as addictive as LSD.
Exept if you play it on a MacBook. It blinks, flashes and goes completly apeshit.
Ends up epileptic.

Anyway, theres no replacements for the real stuff

So where do you find this free software? I know some people I'd like to inflict it on.

I'll take a look, thanks.

I bought some Legos here a while back, but only for making mold boxes. I'm still a K'Nex man at heart.

I would also like to add that this was a small box for thirty-fucking dollars. >:C

Man Legos are like crack man, you can never have enough online or the real ones XD.

Just try to avoid selling your kidneys, I doubt one made of legos can replace the real thing.

mmm lego's...
I still have a HUGE box full of random lego's... Maybe I should auction it on eBay?
