So yeah, not getting political at all here, just wanted to cash in on the blog titles while I can. Anyway, long week at work already, and I work 2 more days. ... Who's waiting for LEGO Lord of the Rings? (Comes out on Nov. 13th, it was pushed back) ... Why do I ask? Cause I'm waiting for AC3 on Tuesday 8D (I bought both anyway) .... AAAAAAAAAAAA WHAT DO TIL THEN?! D:
So, it's taken me some time to realize it, but HS01's practically a ghost town. So I have an idea that just might work. ... Allowing Fan-created HF related content on HS01 under a new prefix (probably Fanon: or something) What do you guys think? And please don't just post something silly like "What's HS01" and "Who cares?" because that HARDLY helps me at this point. In fact, anybody who does will have their post removed by me. I have given my warning. (Now watch the entire blog staff b
So, I get to Bellevue around 11:20 AM today. I visited the Bellevue Square mall and went to the best store in the building... THE MICROSOFT STORE! ... And then the LEGO Store. 20 minutes later, Dorek arrived. We didn't stick around in there for long. We bought the boss' stuff, like 2 Helm's Deeps, a Monster Fighter Haunted House, a small Friends set for parts, and so forth. I picked out the Vampyre Hearse set, and I bought Dorek a minifig series 8 (the pirate.) After early brunch, we took
Go figure, I get one day off in 5 days' worth of time. So, tomorrow I stay home and do my own stuff, then tuesday I head in and actually do other things not-really-work-but-work related, then I think I work the rest of the week. Long story short, I am the brokes and the tireds D:
... What were they thinking?! ... Actually I could see that business meeting now. Nick: Hey LEGO, we have a cool new franchise coming out soon! It'll probably rival Transformers! LEGO: Sweet, now we can beat Hasbro out even more in sales! What's the franchise? Nick: Weeeellll.... And that's pretty much that. But hey, it could be worse. Could be LEGO MLP. And absolutely NOBODY wants that [/sarcasm shielding]
So yeah, finally got poked enough times to go make skins for the two sites. BS01's is the second winner from that old contest, and was made by ~MI~. The HS01 skin is one I had kicking around to begin with, and it was decided it was time to make it happen. Thoughts, everyone? 8D
... I have a few ideas there. I've been very inspired by the theme. In fact, I'm more inspired even before the theme was finished being presented to us. ... Oh also, the full name is Pigs vs Cows. ... Should have mentioned that before I posted this, yeah? Probably.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ... AAAAAAAAAAA. Oh man oh man it's 2 days away *breathes heavily, waiting for Friday to arrive* I'm stoked, people. I get to see my friends, I get to hang with the SEALUG AFOLs, I get to display my MOCs, and with luck I'll be able to throw my Wacky Racer down the ramp and get decent video of it working. I hope
Woo, 6 days til the big one comes! I have FINALLY secured a space for my Mata Nui island at BrickCon. However, it isn't EXACTLY how I want it displayed, nor where I intended. It's also not finalized yet where it goes. Fortunately it's got room, the coordinators noted I registered it early enough and they have the room. Meantime, the other stuff is also ready to go. Let's see what happens there. And also Xccj's angled mosaic stuff is safely in my care, ready to be assembled. Next Friday b
... Nah, I'll forget it exists in a week. XD Anyway, I am all packed up for BrickCon as far as models go, except I need to finish my wacky racer. I'm also set for the hotel (still figuring out transportation, but it seems pretty safe to me) and all that. So yeah, I look forward to it next week 8D
Sure, why not; Ask me anything (within BZP limits) I will do my best to answer. Now, I will also say, I may paste the questions here so people can read 'em in the same post, I dunno yet. So yeah, ask away. Edit #1: I added my replies to all of the posts, bolded, and spoiler-tagged it so it doesn't stretch the screen: Spoiler tags are for spoilers, sorry man. -TMD Valenti edit: Spoiler tags are for spoilers only. Not to prevent screenstretchingness.
Then I remembered nobody talks to me anyway. Oh well, let's see what everybody thinks of doing one. Also BrickCon! Y U NO GETTING HERE SOONER? D: Sorry, had to
GO. LISTEN TO IT. I promise, it's better than a lot of the other episodes I've heard. Also I was in it. That's a good reason. Also new BIONICLE info which will possibly be spoiled by the afternoon anyway.
Haven't even hit morning of the 15th, and already got a few gifts: 2 new Polos + Floyd T-Shirt $70 total from relatives $75 Amazon Gift Card from brother Three new DC-related movies/DVD collections: Batman Mask of the Phantasm, Green Lantern Emerald Knights, and Green Lantern The Animated Series Season 1.0 (13 episodes already debuted, with the other half coming out next week or so on CN) (I bought myself this one) Black Mesa Source Not expecting too much else, but you never know. I'
It's finally coming. ONE DAY. BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY. It is clearly a sign. They want me to not work that weekend. I must answer the calling! "Welcome to Black Mesa Research Facility. The time is 8:20 AM."
Oh man. I did not even begin to imagine how fun that'd be. I mean, dude. Thanks go out to TNU, MI, KZN02, Avlok and some other guy I just met who isn't from BZP for the awesome game. MANN CO WAS SAVED! NOW GIMME MY MONEY!
I actually finally (it makes no sense why I took so long but there ya go) signed up for VIP points. I decided it was a good time to do so. So what did I buy on my first VIP purchase? Batman Keychain Superman Keychain Brick Calendar Dunno when they'll show up off the top of my head (next week or so I think) and I'll be on the lookout for my VIP card as well (let's hope it gets here before BCon) Speaking of BrickCon, I'm registered, and so is Mata Nui. Looking forward to seeing my frie
... I need a project. Give me something to do. ... Anything EXCEPT SKINS (@BS01/HS01 Staff) Maybe something graphical, or even EM related. I dunno. I just want to do something on Friday since I'm not working.
Alright, I have mailed out four of the six prizes to the winners of MakutaFest 2012. I cannot (at the moment) afford to ship to the two Canadian winners, but I am making arrangements as I type this (I'm -very- resourceful). The four winners who will receive prizes within the next week are: TanmaDude (-TD-) who gets a TNGM Despair who also gets a TNGM Tekulo: Toa of the Breeze, who gets the silver masks and Kothra, who gets the mask bag (AND FORGOT TO PUT HIS ZIP CODE IN THE EMAIL GRAAAAAAA
I dunno, you guys gave me good names, but I'm not digging... about 98% of it I liked Swert06, a lot of what Soran said, dun really like Swertsector01, silly Kyn , Tekulo's list is eh. I dunno, I'm very picky with branding. It's kinda why when I designed the TbP Group logo I looked at all aspects of it right down to the very pixel positioning. It wasn't easy. Basically I think SWERT06 will be an acceptable name. But I have an idea for the description that will make up for everybody else no
So um... I kinda wanna change my blog name. But I suck at naming things (My computers are SWERT01 and SWERT02, my Zune is SWERT03, my phone is SWERT05 (the hard drive in 01 is SWERT04, kinda wish I had named the desktop SWERT02 to match Thunderbirds better but whatever)) and I really want a cool name. So submit ideas. I'll take any ideas FROM ANYONE. Just remember, keep it BZP appropriate. Also NO PONIES! kthx.
