Honestly I'm down for whatever Faber does, even if this doesn't turn out to be a real BIONICLE thing.

I suppose this is a good way to justify the new molds in the Steamboat Willie set.

I was shopping for ties, so

Went to Goodwill yesterday and found this. So now I have Gresh, and it only took uhhh *checks calendar* oh

Got the Darth Maul set today and man am I looking forward to using those "cloth" shoulder shells in a bunch of ways. First time I've actually built something in a while. Feels good.

I've mentioned in a couple places that I'm not really a fan of the big Apocalypseburg set, and I just realized what the best comparison to make would be. This is pretty much how it looks to me: too structured to be a properly "chaotic" environment, but with a bunch of stuff on it making it look just kinda messy. In the words of Annie Hughes, "it seems kind of slapped on".

Deal. Don't accept this power only to turn on me in a fateful twist brought upon by my own hubris.

Got the convention circuit perks and I don't feel like doing a contest or anything for it. First person wins I guess.

Well it is a daunting build. I built one bag per day so I didn't have to dedicate a giant block of time to it doing a lot of repetitive stuff.

I have no idea where I am going to put this.

That’s true. The Staff of Light wouldn’t even fit into a 2009 fist, would it? Depends on how you build it. Connecting the Staff of Light in that particular way relies on the through-hole connection of the single socket joints, which the hand pieces lack. You could build it in such a way that it would fit, just like it could fit into the basic socket hands in the other way.

Depends on what I'm making. If I'm going for a lot of detail I'll just build articulated hands; the Mixels really opened up a world of possibilities for those. If I just want them to be holding something I'll use the current fist piece, because it makes for a good looking grip. The thing is probably over half the things I build (or rather, built, past tense, haven't been able to do much of it in the past couple of years) don't even have hands, so it's not something I really have to choose between that much.

I guess one of the few perks of a retail job is that sometimes you can buy things like this for nearly half off. I'm building it one bag per day and I'm tweeting it out as I do.

So I went to an event for the Boston Uprising (Boston's Overwatch League team, of which I am a fan) and was one of the raffle winners to be part of the 3v3 mystery hero matches with some of the players. I was on Blasé's team and we won against NotE's team. I got play of the game... as Bastion. It was hard because the controls were not set up the way I was used to and also the game was in a different language. Anyway hung out with friends got some autographs and had an all around nice time. (I'm the one on the left. [Hence the shirt lol.])

The design is gonna be lasered on so I don't really have a choice of color there, more that I wanted opinions on whether I should choose a design that's associated with darker colors like Vakama or something more generic like the three virtues symbol.

I have this wallet and I want to make it a BIONICLE wallet. Should I just put a general BIONICLE design on it or should I match the design to the color and put like Vakama's disk design or something?

I mean this might actually be truer to the reference proportions than the dinky little head I'd made for him previously, so

Is this a legal connection

wrote up a whole entry about how I wanted to enter this BBCC but couldn't because my convention circuit returns arrived a day later than they were scheduled to and by that time I had to devote all my time to finishing my Halloween costume for a party that was tonight, but my computer has not been on very good speaking terms with the internet lately and the entry got eaten so here we are it's a Kylo Ren costume and it's infinitely better than the garbage one I made three years ago

I mean, I plan on starting on my entry tomorrow night, so…

I considered that. Why would the intro have set-accurate models but not the rest of the game? No idea. But that's what it's from.

It's from the intro video for BIONICLE Heroes.

Don't worry, I'm sure Mercy will come in at least one of the sets. I require healing.

The one where they said the Piraka made them eat junk food? Yeah, I remember that one very distinctly.
