I still refuse to pay 12 bucks for a Mistika set. In fact the only new sets I have actually purchased are Rockoh and Mazeka, which I sold. Do not get me wrong, I want a Gorast/Bitil/Krika just as bad as the next bloke, but I cannot bring myself to shell out the dough.
So, am I a cheapskate?
It is the solution to the current US economy and deficit. Professional sports athletes and other absurdly high paid people should have to pay a luxury tax. Good old uncle sam.
We shift to Trains this week...
2150 Train Station
Description: Released in 1996 as a part of the 9 volt train line. Retail price was about $70 Us dollars, today can be found MISB for about 350 bucks. Containing 566 parts and 8 minifigs, it is a big collectors item. The set featured some luggage carts, a mini cafe and boarding times/other info for the minifigs. The interior of the station is kind of basic but you can always snazz it up with more parts.
My take: Never had this set

I so wanted to be there with you, I had it planned, I had MoCs ready, I had dreams. Those dreams were crushed however once again this year. So please give my regards and say hello to the BZPeoples for me, I even had some gifts for them. The only reason I can offer for my absence is REAL LIFE STINKS.

Number 9 allready? Time is flying!

My Take: I enjoyed this set quite a bit when I had it. I had extra vehicles an

With the Kaukau, my trans colored kanohi collection is now complete. Ill have pictures of them all in a future entry. My focus now shifts to collecting the other misprint kanohi.
I suppose Ill start with the good news. Since I began selling lego online business has been excellent, so good in fact that I had to replenish some of my sets to sell:
And I received some more trans flames, dark green ones this time!
Now the terrible news, I will not be attending nor will I be sending in any MoCs for brickcon. Yea it sucks I know but I have no choice in this matter without a massive fallout. So I wish my friends attending the best and I am sorry I will not be am
Yes, I am blogging it after I was persuaded to do so, who is watching it?
I admit, I watch it, I was sad to see Edyta go home, her and Julianne are, um, yea. Anyone have picks for the winner? Warren Sapp moves quite well for his size, I want to see the big man win it, just because!
Had to get a Dark Panther:
And would you believe I paid 12 dollars for these:
They are quite rare little flames but they sure are pretty. Ill be putting them to use soon.
Well, my Mindstorms 2.0 set sold for $289.99. I am finding myself a bit somber that I have to ship it out now, it was the crown jewel of my lego collection until I won the original Millennium Falcon. Can one really put a price on such a set?
Ah well, I need the cash to keep my hopes up for brickcon, which is quickly approaching...
Is it Tuesday again? I guess it is that time again....

My quest to obtain all the trans colored kanohi is nearing its end. Today I got:
All that remains now is the trans yellow and light blue kaukau. Id like to have the flintsmith trans purple one but I doubt it will ever happen. I have the yellow one on order but the light blue one is gonna be tough to find I think. I do not suppose anyone wants to trade?
Or else, you will end up like me, with one of these:
Yea, getting that pulled was real fun let me tell you. Cost me $288 dollars for what, PAIN! Take care of them teeth people!
Like a really terrible awful unbearable evil toothache. It is one of my rear teeth on the bottom, and it is in agony! I can feel it clear down through my neck and into my chest. Yarg, I need a medic. Someone reply with a miracle remedy please! Im all twitchy, its bad, very very bad. HELP!
