Bad boys, whacha gonna do?
6598 Metro P-D Station
Description: Released in 1996 as part of the Town/Police series. Retail price then was about 60 dollars. Today it has doubled in value and can be found MISB for about 130 bucks. Containing 516 parts and 8 minifigs, this set was one of more detailed police sets.
My take: Never got this set, I recall seeing it in K-B toys though. Looks like it has alot going on with it, there are several vehicles, a boat, a chopper and a breakaway cel
They seem to be the most common thing popping up in the BBC forum day after day, what do you people think of them? Are they a plague? Are they good for the forum and MoCing in general? Most will draw a negative conclusion from them, others will say they are the base for new MoCists.
So far I will have these MoCs on deck:
War Worm
Chromium Annelida
Pink Floyd
Prometheus
Velonese
Dagger
Mag-Rail
Geometric Rose
Balberith
I hope to get a few more done before its time. Im open to suggestions! What MoCs of mine should go?

What is going on in the gulf? The US cannot handle another oil spill upon our shores! This is absolute madness, its time the president considers alternate forms of energy. I really hope there is not another plume of oil spewing underwater, I really really hope.
Ouch! And the ref pulls a red card! Medic!
3312 Medic's Station
Description: Released in 1998 as a promo shell set, part of the Lego sports soccer series. The set included 72 parts and 2 minifigs. Retail price then was about 5 bucks. Today it has actually gained quite a bit of value and can be found MISB for about 30 bucks, a promotional item is the most likely reason.
My Take: Never had this set, in fact I had a local shell at that time and I never saw it. Its your basic soccer

6973 Deep Freeze Defender
Description: Released in 1993 as part of the Space/Ice Planet series, containing 399 parts and 3 minifigs. Retail price then ranged from 60-70 bucks. Today finding this set MISB is next to impossible and will cost anywhere from 200-400 dollars.
My take: Never did get this set. Looks cool, there is a rocket that attaches to the topside of it via magnets. Any set with magnets in it is a plus in my book. Of course, Ice Plane
I want it, badly. 4 motors, 2 ir remotes/receievers, 4 linear actuators, plus a ton of useful technic parts like universal joints and turntables. Set of the year IMO!
I have a few unfinished WIPs, one is a flora, one is a new mag-rail, the other is a rahi.
Which one do I push forward with? Brickcon is approaching quickly, my time is running out!

Should I bring my weekly set spotlight back? Im not sure if anyone really was interested in it, as most of the sets I listed were pre-2000.
Or maybe some kind of new weekly highlight? MoC/member of the week? Im open to suggestions here.
I have this great idea for BBCC 59, but trying to get motivated is proving tedious. Its been a long time since I published a new moc, should I throw my hat in the mix or no?
As the days grow longer, the dawn beings earlier, I am reminded that the long cruel winter is almost over. This spring will be different, it is a whole new world for me now, I am alone, I have no confidant anymore. It has been a difficult time, but I think I am finally seeing my way through it.
I cannot go on as I have been, there is no point. I know I am doing the best I can, for her, for my child, and for myself. I take comfort in that, and I know that I will one day be happy again. I
Coming to terms with all that bad stuff, I find myself trying to move forward. I have realized I hate being alone, I need to find someone, fast.
I am in the best shape of my life, I work out everyday between the rec room at our apartments and grinding out miles on the bike. Mentally I am still healing though. I have found a couple new friends, which has helped, but I am a lover, and lovers need lovees! Work is going well, I continue to impress the boss with my skills in math and inventory
Well, it has not gotten much better. I have been texting with my childs mother, begging for a reason why and where I did her wrong. She refuses to give me anything, says she wants me to move on but how can I with no further closure?
My nightmares continue to haunt me. I have been pedaling my bike for miles each day just to visit and try to help my poor daughter through this. I still love her mother even after she has turned my world upside down, I bring her gifts and try to be a nice guy,
