Another update to that WIP I mentioned a while back.
Well, Lego finally took the IR reciever off backorder, sot now it, and a remote are on the way, bringing me another step closer to finishing that tank. Since the last post, I've had to make a few modifications after adding the battery pack and motors. Because of the placement of the gears, I had to reconfigure them a bit because the treads were moving in opposite directions.
Ok, I'll admit I was a bit worried when the series changed hands, but 343 made a game worthy of the name Halo. Already finished the campaign (Heroic), and it will be interesting to see where they take the series from there.
Yesterday I got home from class to find that someone had left a brown box sitting on my chair. Inside was the new netbook I had ordered the day before from a verizon cyber monday deal for about $30, plus $40 a month for 2 years for access to the verizon 3G network, so I can access the internet with this thing from anywhere there is cell phone coverage.
Upgraded to a brand new DSi today, which caused my friend codes to change. If you registered me then you'll have to re-register me. My codes are in the link on your left.
I've also been Ebaying some of my old games I never play anymore, so Mario Kart DS is now my only WiFi game at this moment.
An update to my last entry
Got the battery pack and motors in the mail today, so I took care of step 2 of my 3 step plan. Now I just need that Remote and I/R sensor so I can finish it. No pictures this time, its getting too close to the finished version, and I want to post the completed moc in BBC, but now its definitely starting to look more like a tank, as opposed to a hot rod with treads like it was starting to. I was hoping to be able to include a rider with it, but I keep having to modif
BZPower has now been around for 7 years, And I have been a member for just over five of them. In this blog entry I'll be reflecting on my early days here, talk about now.
When I joined: When I first joined BZPower, I was rather new to the whole internet thing, and the only website I was a member of was the Lego Club (Man, has that sure changed). I had been a guest for a few months, spending time reading the news posts every day. Once I finally discovered the forums (23-December 03) , I joined
By know I'm guessing you've heard. The Stars are the last Bionicle sets in the "foreseeable future" (The story, however, will continue).
I've gotta say, its sad to see the sets go. I've always figured that the story would go before the sets, especially considering that Scholastic has stopped publishing the books.
-Begins Reminiscing-
I can remember when I first learned about Bionicle when the very first comic came with my lego magazine back in 2001. I was instantly hooked. I bought Po
Went to Tors R Us today, and found all six of the Stars. I bought all of them, plus an extra Tahu. I'll have pictures of Gold Armored Tahu up later, along with my thoughts of the rest of the stars.
So I was in WalMart today, and happened to find Axalara marked down to $32. Since I hadn't bought the set yet because of the price, I could not let the opportunity pass me by. So I bought ti.
Wow.
I have not spent that much time building a set since I got Muaka and Kane Ra back in 2001. I spent about 2 hours building it. It was a great set to build. While the functions aren't as great as the ones in the early years, they are still a neat little feature that makes the build a whole lot mo
Not much to report this week. Lots of cleaning at work to prepare the store for a visit from the company VP, so things are getting a bit chaotic. School this week was kinda slow. For english I had to watch Remember the Titans, talk about it throughout the week, then write a paper on it. Finally a good movie to watch for a school project. One of my art classes was cancelled this week because the instructor wasn't there. Hope everythings alright. In my other art class we're making shadow puppets.
Does anyone know of any sets currently out that have wheels about half the size of the Hero Factory Motorcycle that came out a few years ago? I'm redesigning the Remote Control Tank I built last year. I would prefer one that have tires, as I already have some all plastic wheels that I'm having issues with.
Glad to see BZP back up and running. I was starting to get worried that it wouldn't come back. So lets see, whats some stuff that happend over the summer I never got a chance to blog about... -Got some Hero Factory recon sets that I would have showed you guys, but scrapped for parts. -Built some Hero Factory MoCs that I would have showed you guys but I ended up taking them apart. -Got an 8.5 inch Wacom Bamboo tablet that I've been playing with. -Got a new 27 inch Imac.
