Hapori Tohu Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 It's that time of month again - well, two days ago it was, at least. We're a little late in releasing this month's episode of Meet the Staff, but hopefully it was worth the wait! This time around Zatth interviews Blog Assistant Nukaya while she builds the Naboo Starfighter. Learn about her past, present, and future in the LEGO hobby, and so much more! You can read on the check out the episode or go to give it a watch. When you're done, make sure to head over to the discussion topic to let us know what you think and provide any other feedback you might have. See you again next month!

Lyichir Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Great video!The piece that you were confused about at around 53 minutes is actually pretty old—it first appeared in 2004, in that very color, no less.

Naota Takizawa Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Wait, didn't she marry Deevee? I remember seeing Dviddy's Flickr & thought she looked familiar.

Aanchir Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) I got the "A Problem" message from Black Six when I was invited to be staff as well. Freaked me out a bit! XD I think the handcuffs the pilot has are supposed to be for the droids to handcuff him? Or something? If you really need more stuff to do as blog staff, we could always get some people to start another fruit war. Kidding, of course. It's surprising how much you're struggling with this set since you've got some of the most building experience of any of us... but of course having to carry on a conversation at the same time does complicate things! Great video!The piece that you were confused about at around 53 minutes is actually pretty old—it first appeared in 2004, in that very color, no less. Not only is that specific piece from way back in 2004, but it's actually a slight redesign of an older piece from 1987. C'mon, girl! You've worked with LEGO as a career! You gotta know these things! I appreciate the shout-out though. My first convention experiences were awkward too, but for different reasons. I didn't have any kind of sickness or jet lag to deal with but I also had an even harder time socializing with people since I didn't really have a name for myself at that time, and could hardly even keep track of people's names. They weren't bad experiences but they felt very impersonal — it was years before I really felt like I truly belonged with the BZPower crowd. I feel like I should maybe get a job at LEGO at some point. I don't know how rewarding it would feel, but I have a lot of patience for tedious work, and I really, REALLY need to build up my qualifications if I want to get the job I really want, which is a LEGO designer in Billund. When I got to try out for a job in girls' play themes last year, one of the people from that workshop who DID get hired was Joel Baker, who's worked as a model builder at LEGOLAND California. So I think having that kind of "on-the-job" experience working with LEGO would be a valuable addition to my resume. I'm also not totally sure if going back to college and getting a more creative degree would be worthwhile, but that's getting off-topic. I appreciate when a LEGO builder actually bothers to put on the stickers. For me that's a big part of the building experience. Your Wyldstyle cosplay definitely got a lot of people's attention! I think you're going to be remembered for that for a long time. Why does this set even HAVE Obi-Wan? He wasn't a part of this scene! Guess they just thought it needed somebody with a lightsaber. They really need to come up with a new hair piece for Episode I Obi-Wan, though. Great interview overall! Long, but enjoyable! If anyone reading this topic hasn't watched it yet you should make time to do so! And Nukaya, can't wait to hang out with you and DeeVee again at BrickFair this year! And yes, you too, Zatth.
