Not sure if this is just regional or not, but participating Fred Meyer stores have all lego except Indiana Jones and Star Wars sets at buy one get one of equal or lesser value. This means Bionicle, Racers, Castle and the other themes Fred Meyer carries. Ill be getting in on it, I need some more of those Racers sets, new parts in purple and lime green! I used some of the new parts on This terrible MoC. Just messing around, they had a sort of vest looking effect.
I see someone else has beat
Man, it has been a long week at work. Seems like my last day off was so much more than a week ago. Since I am up so early today, what should I do? I have a few things in mind, maybe you people can help me decide before I end up sitting on the computer all day and accomplish nothing!
~Finish WiP for K's Corner X-Pod contest
~Finish playing Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn
~Continue to organize my abyss of lego parts
~Call my family back home
~Go to Toys R Us and get in on that Indy set sale goi
Well I picked up the game and a spare steering wii wheel on Monday, but I have been too busy to try it out until earlier tonight. It has alot of potential I think, so far I have only done a few time trials and 2 wifi races, I managed to finish 3rd and 2nd so that was cool. I love the fact that you can race many other people, 11 for my first 2 wifi races. The wheel is actually quite accurate and reliable, given the karts I use. I still have a ton of stuff to unlock so Ill be playing this game
As you may know, Kohaku is hosting a Super Smash Brothers Brawl Tournament. After an intense battle I was defeated by Kinali and his Wario like attacks. Came down to the wire but he deserved to win. Looks like he will be taking on Bohrok Kaita 1 next, good luck to you Kinali. There are great prizes at stake here.
On an unrelated yet somehow related note, my BBC 49 poll is up. I think entry 7 has me beat, it has a sweet design and shape, well done on your entry Dr. Keerakh. If you deem i
I have been considering this for awhile now, most of the people I have asked tell me no, building LEGO Bricks is not an art, not even if they are of your own custom design.
Well guess what, I disagree. I think it is just as much of an art as painting on canvas or sculpting from marble. Too many just assume that because lego is themed towards children, it cannot be viewed as a real kind of art. What an unfair stereotype, just because they are considered toys. If painting, even with waterco

Wow, so yeah I thought this was mildly interesting. I was actually quite surprised at the content but even more surprised at the characters! Dante? Lara Croft (well okay she belongs I guess). Gordon and Jade? Obviously more votes are needed there.
Topping my list would be...
Tifa Lockheart! Just joking of course. I dare not reveal such sensitive information to the masses!
Well, I found out I will be going back to full time, however I also found out that my shift is from 10 pm to 8 am. While there is a raise in pay, anyone who has worked that shift will tell you it gets very tiring. The boss told me he cannot find anyone else who is responsable and reliable, so I am the lucky guy! I used to work this shift, I thought I had proven myself but the store was sold and a new owner changed up the schedules.
I suppose it is time to become a nocturnal being once agai
Well I am still throwing around ideas for this contest. A few that have come to mind:
~Using nearly all of my black/white/silver/grey parts and molding them into a giant sculpture
~Build 4 Toa/Rahi, one of each color
~Build a 4 headed serpent using Fenrakk heads and a new jaw design
~Build a life sized Lance, about 5 feet long.
So yea, I need some help here.
Well it took 2 years, but Kex informed me that I received a proto boost at last! First time ever!
And for the record, I did not get a proto boost when I became premier, because I was given the premier membership rather than pay for it. It is so nice to peek at that little bar now and see it just above half way full!
So I was watching Larry King tonight, they had a panel of high ranking government officials on claiming they each had an encounter with UFOs. They have said the United States government remains reclusive on the subject, though France, Brazil and China have released information confirming the existance of UFOs. They claim the US plans to weaponize space and views them as threats to society and religion, hence the classification of information. Upon the release of this info in the other countri
Bumble Bee Rumble!
Just when I thought his stuff could not get any better, wow. Its got some rough edges but as a whole it is quite stunning and deserved a spotlight here. MoCists take note, THAT is how you build Bumblebee, too bad it does not transform into a car, though that would be borderline impossible while keeping a nice looking humanoid build.
Nice to see something big out there, well done large bionicle MoCs are a dying breed.
And the weapon:
Comments? Critiques? Ive been wanting to use the Gadunka head as torso armor for a long time now, I think this is gonna be good...
Updates:
Did I overdo the tool?
I was awful busy last week and never got around to selecting a pick of the week. However this week is a different story, therefore our winner is....
Addiction by Ichigo Kurosaki!
Congrats Ichigo, your idea for the contest was very clever and you executed it pretty well. I must ask though, where is his right arm? You will be added to the content block with the previous winners.
Entry #4
There are clearly some awesome creations in that poll, if you deem my little ice cavern scene worthy I ask for your votes, without shame! This was one of my most unique works to date, I never thought of myself as a vig/diorama kind of builder. I enjoyed the mad dash getting it done before the deadline though, good luck to all in the contest!
So I accquired this, metal thing. Im gonna build the car most likely, this is new territory for me so it might be interesting to see what else I can make if I get more of these, things....
Metal and screws, please forgive me lego!
I gotta get this BBCC entry done, I only have 2 days left! Usually I am an early entrant, however I have been extremely busy lately between work, home and Brawl! Sadly I may not be able to finish in time but I am sure gonna try. I suppose I should leave a teaser pic.
SQUIDPACK!
If you are using a linksys router, and are experiencing frequent disconnections or are unable to battle in wifi at all, I have discovered the solution to this problem. It will require alot of manual setup for the router and the Wii, including port forwarding the Wii, obtaining a static IP address, changing the channel of your router and downloading the most recent firmware for your router.
Anyway, there is a link I could supply however there are forums there so I cannot. Please PM me if you
So I went to TRU today and got much more than I had thought I would.
Icarax was on sale and so was Solek, I got Brawl from gamestop though. I feel complete now and my life can go forward!
Friday, MoC, my pick for this week is...
Jaka Wajorzee by Bundalings!
Congrats Bunda, your revamp of the Jaka is colorful and has foliage! Clearly a MoC that has stood out this week in the BBC. You will be put with the other winners of the week.
Well it took a little under a year, but this is my 100th blog entry. My remaining days of premier membership are running out, so I shall dedicate this entry to all of you people who took time to stop in and read/comment on my blogging content.
First off, I have to once again thank Kohaku. If not for him I would have never had the opportunity to blog. At 300+ comments, I would like to think that the blog did pretty well activity wise. I did make blog of the week sometime ago, however back

Wow, apparently we are not that far away from having a device that can allow us to actually see others thoughts and dreams! “Imagine a general brain-reading device that could reconstruct a picture of a person’s visual experience at any moment in time, and perhaps even provide access to the visual content of phenomena such as dreams and imagery."
Think about the possibilities this new device could open up. Being able to create an acutual image of someone elses thoughts, kind of
