me birthday


believe victims

748 views

tomorrow is my birthday. im turning 19 years old, which is to say, pretty darn old. im not ready to be even more adult than before.

 

proving im not ready to be an adult, i'm about to splurge on a bricklink order as a birthday present to me. im probably going to look for pieces in colors like medium blue and orange in order to give myself pieces i can MOC with that aren't neutral colors with red highlights.

happy early birthday~!

 

also if you being nineteen tomorrow makes you old then that makes me almost a month older than old (a month older old who splurged a lot of money on a bunch of plushies on birthday so >.>; )

And I think a Bricklink birthday order is a splendid idea. I just received one of those today myself, in fact.

I noticed! That's what inspired me. You got some great pieces.

 

I mostly got a variety of HF shells, a bunch of useful technic pieces in assorted colors, and some useful Bionicle pieces in assorted colors. I mostly focused on green and orange, since those are the colors I'm using in my extremely-derivative Gundam MOC.

Happy birthday!

 

And yeah, I know the "neutral colors with red highlights" problem all too well. Especially in recent sets, those tend to be some of the most common colors, and thus the most versatile. Often after making a MOC in those colors I build it in LDD and then see what it might look like in different color schemes, but rarely do I come up with anything that looks as good as the original. Every single MOC I currently have registered for Brickfair uses predominantly red and neutral colors, even the System ones!

 

Hopefully if BIONICLE does come back next year it might bring some more variety in colors like green, blue, and orange that are still woefully under-represented in constraction sets. I don't particularly care if they're the same shades that were used in BIONICLE. I wouldn't complain about seeing Bright Green instead of Dark Green (Mata Green) or Medium Azur instead of Medium Blue. Just having a wider variety of parts in SOME of those sorts of colors would be a godsend.

Went here because I posted last in the current entry, and I didn't know if an edit would merit any attention.

 

But this blog is fun, interesting and it makes me laugh.  =P

Blog stamps were out of style when I came here.  I refuse to let that slide.
