Over the years, I feel it's become less fascinating.
Back in the day I relied on the promos to tell me when things came out. Heck, I didn't know about the Bohrok until I saw them on a shelf in a toy store. I truly wondered what they did and what they were. From the back of the package it looked like they had two masks even (faceplate and Krana). I didn't know how they worked until I saw a commercial.
Even the story held some mystery.
Now I'm a member on several BIONICLE sites and I
So I've applied to work at both the LEGO Store in Burlington, MA, and the LEGOLAND Discovery Center in Somerville, MA. Basically just retail work, but it would be something a bit more personally interesting than what I've done that past couple of summers. A bit more consistent, too. And there's the plus of being able to see people I barely ever get to see because while I spiritually live in Massachusetts I've been physically stuck in Maine my entire life. Also, I just looked at the word "M
Eventually! Seems there's a fancy new part coming out soon. 1x2 place with hollow studs and rounded corners. Along with all the other neat things it could be used for, one thing I want to see it used for is some kind of flag or banner material. From what little I know of the techniques, most "curve" builds use a mix of 1x3 plates and 1x1 round plates or some staggered arrangement of 1x2s and 1x1 rounds. But the new piece looks like it could maybe provide a much simpler, better-looking, and mor
This is the Mixel joint thing I was talking about in the stream. If they released an axle-socket connector, you'd be able to replace the 3-axle neck with a ball-and-socket joint of equivalent length, leaving the gear mechanism and everything else intact. (This isn't the best or clearest drawing, and the joint is actually upside-down from being the ideal orientation, but it demonstrates the concept better than I could probably describe it.) Right now I'm using Toa Metru heads for my HF-upgra
[miraculousness intensifies] Are there any decent LDD-compatible minifig decal templates out there? Like ones that outline exactly how they apply to the torso or arms or legs or whatever. I feel like the arms are going to be annoying to do unless I can actually see how the file is mapped to the piece.
1. yes 2. they're gonna make me buy the $150 set for the minifigures with the cool skins aren't they 3. collectible minifigure series when 4. just give me junkrat 4.5. and orisa 5. CONSTRACTION WHEN 6. please make a set with the ilios well map, or nepal sanctum, or any of my favorite boop spots please
I dunno, this seems like it could be neat. The curve on the shin armor fits the curve of the dish pretty well. Makes me think of some speedy character who's either a robot or in some kind of super speed robot-suit.
I've never really been able to tell why the missing "rib" on the lower portion isn't there. Anyone know? Better barrel fit, lower friction, some connection method I haven't discovered yet?
Happy St. Patrick's day everyone! Did you all wear green?
I wore green socks. Hopefully they're noticeable enough that I don't get pinched...
Ouch!

OH NOES!!!
