Hey people, now that I am back online I should be blogging regularly. Let me tell you all of my shocking discovery.
So we all know I was dumped by my babies mother a few weeks back, I was and still am devastated. But I found some closure yesterday, in a letter she wrote to a complete stranger who she has apparently fallen in love with. She has not even met this guy and lied to me and the family about him! I begged her for honesty and she completely ruined my life, she even accepted that s
She dumped me, and finally was able to tell me face to face. I am moving out for real this time, yesterday was the worst day of my life. I do not know if/when I will return here, but I do hope to someday, when I can get back on my feet and get a computer and etc.
Id like to thank everyone here for their kind words, friendships, everything. You young people have helped me alot, crazy as it may seem. Wish me luck, this is the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life.
Been very busy, the store is getting very busy this time of year, everyone wants lego! I have had a staggering amount of orders the last few days. Things are going well for the most part, working alot, making good money. Which in turn translates to new stuff to keep me from going insane, such as Wii points cards for nostalgic gameplay, new music, lego parts for my works, clothes and the like.
Then there is my relationship, or lack there of. Which seems to have come to a total halt. I am
I guess I should start positive, thanks to TLC for giving us Bionicle, in all of its forms.
Way back in 2001, I made my first Bionicle set purchase, it was Toa Onua, and right away I thought that this new theme had some very unique parts. Parts that can be used in a million different ways, as such, my MoC works began using Bionicle parts. At first, I used what I had and quite frankly made and published some very bad creations. Looking back on them now, I am not ashamed of them, but I will
Worked 6 days last week, 6 days this week, including 4 10 hour days, then I have to work 10 hours on both Thanksgiving and Christmas. I am a bit discouraged about that.
On the flip side, I will be making 30 dollars an hour on the holidays. Is being a slave to society really worth it people? For that all mighty dollar bill?

5561 Big Foot 4x4
Description: Released in 1997 as part of the Model Team line, retail price was about 40 bucks then. Now it can sell MISB for about 150 bucks. Containing 761 parts, the set was your standard model team vehicle, with a steering function and other features.
My take: Never had this set, it comes with some nice chrome parts from what I can see. I think this was the last model team set made if memory serves.
For the first time in nearly 14 years, I actually bought a CD! I found my favorite album of ALL TIME, so I had to buy a CD player since I have none, I cannot wait to crank it up all the way on my noise enhancing headphones! It will be almost like when I saw them (White Zombie) live in the mosh pit! Also picked up a Wii points card as I see the virtual console now has Ogre Battle on SNES, a game which has haunted my existance ever since the mid 90s when I was unable to finish it. Lastly, I go
Scan the code, break the code, BREAK THE CODE!
8479 Barcode Multi-Set
Description: Released in 1997 for a retail price of about 70 dollars, today this set sells MISB for an astonishing 350 bucks, clearly a collectors item. Containing 1280 parts, this set had a unique function in that it had a code pilot brick that could read barcodes, each one resulting in a different kind of function.
My take: Never had this set, I am still confused about the whole barcode thing. From what I have g
1. What will you dress up as this year? (I am going to be the Reaper, I even have a real scythe and my skeleton claws!)
2. Will you be trick or treating? (After work yes, I am just a big kid after all!)
3. What kind of candy is your favorite? (Kit Kat)
4. What kind of candy is your least favorite? (Generic hard candies)
5. Did you carve your own pumpkins? (I did, its a creepy one!)
Fire up the rig boys!
5571 Giant Truck
Description: Released in 1996 as part of the Model Team series at a retail price of about 50 dollars. This has become a sought after collectors item and now sells MISB for a whopping 400-600 bucks! Containing 1743 parts, it was one of the largest of the model team sets.
My take: Sadly I had this set and lost it. It has lots of nice details and a steering function. I am not sure why it has become so valuable now, it is not really that old of a
Picture this, a zero gravity track, with a car that runs inside of it. A vertical ring, lined with magnets.
Can it be done? Well, after the whole mag rail thing actually worked, I think it just may be possible, expensive of course but possible. I have enough magnets, power functions parts and other things needed. Now its just a matter of time and money. I might have to order gear plates, I do not think tires will have enough pull when the vehicle is upside down. Weight is also a concern
The long arm of the law...
6386 Police Command Base
Description: Released in 1986 for a retail price of about 30 dollars, this can be purchased today MISB for about 200 bucks. Containing 365 parts and 4 minifigs, this set was one of the earlier police sets. Rather basic but at the same time there was plenty of play-ability to be had with it.
My take: I think I had this set, forgive me my memory from the mid 80s is a bit hazy in my old age. I seem to remember playing with the helico
Man that was a close game, Baltimore had us beat but missed the field goal. Favre has done us proud!
In other NFL news, the Steelers won and the Seahawks got just plain dominated by Arizona. Man, not a good day to be a Seattle fan. Watching the Sunday night game now, looks like Atlanta has it won but Chicago was driving deep last time I saw, there have been alot of fumbles and turnovers, makes for a very entertaining game!
I might bring back my weekly NFL recap entries, though no one re

Random minifig bag:
Had to restock these after I was bought out:

I am up early to prepare for last second prep for Brickcon. I see that I am not a morning person, hopefully my ride gets here soon so we can beat the traffic.
All my stuff is packed up and ready, I have much more that I thought, I do not know how some folks like Roa and Arpy find the room to pack up all their works!
Wish me luck all.
Seeing as I missed it yesterday....
1354 Dino Head Attack
Description: Released in 2000 at a retail price of about 12 dollars, today this set sells MISB for about 20 bucks. Part of the studios line, the set contained 86 parts and 2 minifigs.
My take: This looked like a neat set, it seems rather comical, I am sure when combined with the movie maker set you could make some amusing scenes. Never did get it though.
Wow, a 8.0 earthquake was recorded off of Samoa, causing a tsunami that appears to have devastated parts of Pago Pago and other islands in the area. They even issued a warning clear over here for the western coast! That is a huge earthquake! More Here.
Yikes, all this in the midst of preparing for Brickcon? Im a bit worried now...
