I'm considering on purchasing individual parts from online stores (as opposed to sets). I'm wanting to expand my inventory a bit in terms of functional pieces and some flair pieces. Specifically, I would love to know what the best pieces for fusion building are. I know of pieces like the brick/socket and the brick/ball pieces, etc. Got any other suggestions? Of course I'll get some extra connector 1x3 +O+ and some of those 1x2 ++ pieces. I'm always needing more of those. XD I've also got my eyes
Got a quick question for ya.
I'm planning on ordering some parts from (the you-know-which site), and the only shops from which a certain piece can be attained are located in the Netherlands. Considering that the deadline for the contest is a little over two weeks away, do you think that the pieces would have enough time to arrive on time? I know that it differs with each seller, but what has been your experience in the past? (for those of you who have ordered from this site)
Thanks in adva
I received my first parts order today!
The new trans-blue bohrok eyes looks swell on Certavus, as do his other new white accents.
The other parts are nifty too, and I hope to put them to good use on my Robot.
Seeing as I don't have the time at the moment, I can't upload pics, but I plan on it later in the week.
Heh, they shipped like Saturday...
~GBG~
Yes: I have pictures now!
Ok, stats:
Total Orders: 3
Total Lots: 80
Total Parts Count: 407
Total Cost (including shipping): $60.80
Now, pics! (Brickshelf)

The Dark Red parts:
Sorry for the poor lighting in this last one... :S
Oh, and don't forget that I have this guy to pull parts from too!
Now, I'd love to know what you think! How did I do in what I chose, and the quantities thereof? How about the price (for those of you experienced in
Well everyone, I am pleased to announce that the two duelists for our BZP MoCist duels have been chosen! And those duelists are...
Draco Cyanopterus
vs.
Arpy!
Unfortunately, I don't have the challenge thought up yet (and I want it to be very well thought of and sortof complex). Thus, you will have to wait until later this morning or early afternoon (CST).
Congratulations on being chosen, and I look forward to your MoCs! Until then...

So, the fam and I are on vacation at the moment. We are currently located in Morristown Tennessee, and are on our way to Wake Forest North Carolina.
It's actually a kindof work/vacation trip, seeing as my dad will be teaching at Southeastern Seminary this next week, but after that we are going to be in DC for a week of being tourists. I need to find out where the LEGO store is located there...
Anywhoo, We spent the evening with the family of a very good friend of my mother's whom she wen
I have noticed that quite a few of the forum leaders/assistants have changed their names. As such, I am getting a wee bit confused. Could someone clear me up a bit?
~GBG~
Who lowered my blog rating down to three stars? :angry: What have I done to deserve this? I demand that you come out and show yourself! And I just got back up to 4.1...
Not that it really matters.

My family and I are heading out early tomorrow morning for Chicago, where we will be attending a conference over the weekend (just Saturday actually). The conference is on the book "Do Hard Things"; written by Alex and Brett Harris who will also be the main speakers. The book is challenging teens to overcome the low expectations in our culture today and to rise up and make a difference in the world. The whole thing is also Christian driven, just to let you know. If you want to find out more abou
Yeeaaaah.... It says that there are 96 total votes, but the votes only add up to 31!
You see, after Smeagol4 re-opened the polls the other day, I noticed that all of the votes in my poll had been deleted. I have no idea why, but this didn't happen with the other polls. Strange, no? I'm still winning, so I'm not upset about my standings in the contest, but I am annoyed for the sake of the other entrants; Ballom was in the process of catching up with 16 votes (I had 22). I guess it can't be
Whoops. I totally did not mean to lock this.
I was looking at the new Atlantis site, and I found this set. It looks like it has some really good MoCing pieces in many different varieties. I won't be able to get it any time soon, but I just thought I'd throw that out there.
GBG
Wow... it seems like just the other day that I joined up... Still, I'm a whole lot "younger" compared to alot of you guys!
Hmmm... I hope to do some MoCing soon.

This evening I've got a little MoC I'd like to show ya.
First of all, however, I would just like to note that I threw this together in about an hour and a half.
I didn't have much of a plan on what I wanted to build here, but my main reasons for making him were:
1) try out a new shoulder/arm build which I had thought of earlier that day
2) try out a new color scheme
In other words, this wasn't that serious of a MoC.
I'm planning on getting a topic done up sometime soon, but u
Ok, so I was wondering what you guys thought to changing my name to Samus Aran. Sure, I know that she's a her and I'm a him, but I love her series and character. I know that GreenBioGuy is unique and more... Bioniclish, but I thought it'd be cool to be known as a video game character. Or do you think that I'm already known as GBG the way it is? The thing is, DV named himself after a famous movie character, but on the flip side awesome guys like Blue Diamond and Shan came up with completely uniqu
... was just placed this evening.
Yay! I am moving up in the world!
80 pieces, 24 lots, $5.60 ( order A )
4 pieces, 1 lot, #1.20 ( order B )
Order A is coming from Washington, and order B is coming from the Netherlands. I'm not sure if the latter will make it here in time, but I'm willing to risk it (it's only for color anyway, I can build it with black) The order is actually mostly black pieces with a few lime ones and several white ones for replacing gray pieces on Certavus (ju
