Mag-rail Progress...

Update, added 2 more baseplates in length, clear walls and starting grid. It is getting pretty heavy as a whole now. I may have to scrap the desert theme, not sure yet. I made the walls clear for visual pleasure, still working on a way to make it move. There will be no corners on the track, it is only a straight away.     Flickr   I really need some ideas on how to make it move! I do not think a propeller is going to be strong enough!

Retro Gaming Gold!

Picked up some classics today, I am betting that these games are older than most of you people!!   Strider, Arkanoid, Tetris 2 and Deadly Towers:   Wizards and Warriors, Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers, Snakes Revenge and Flying Dragon:   Lastly, I have searched far and wide for this game, Battletoads and Double Dragon, one of the best beat em ups on the SNES:   Ill be plenty busy with these for awhile! The memories will come flooding back before long!

Rc Hovercraft Project!

Allright, what started as a crazy, outlandish idea has started to take shape! This is still very early in the WiP stages, still throwing around some ideas. In the end expect a lush desert landscape around the track. So far it is working as I planned! This is a very expensive and ambitious project and I hope to complete it someday, this is no doubt going to take alot of trial and error.   What I would really like to do is have 2 of these tracks, so the hovercrafts can race one another!

Go Pens!

Pittsburgh pulled it out and won the Stanley Cup last night! Congrats to them, they battled all the way to a game 7 win, in the hostile Joe Louis arena of Detroit.   Can we say dynasty? I think this game was actually more entertaining than the NBA finals as a whole.

Classic Set Spotlight #45

Who likes bugs?   2490 Insectoids Combo Set   Description: This was a promotional set that was only released in the UK at Woolworths in 1998. Containing 2 insectoid sets and a life sized insect mask, the set price was about 20 bucks then. Today this item has become ultra rare and MISB this can sell for upwards of 250 dollars, big time collectors item.   My take: Well, I never had a chance at getting this set, still I want the mask though. That could make for a neat MoC if you could someh

54 Entry Process...

Steady as she goes. Think big, and think function. I would say it is about 70 percent done, it is really neat, and NO, it is not another humanoid! I may end up having to make a video for it, stay tuned, there may be a teaser pic in the near future!

So I Broke Down And Bought It...

35 bucks for both of these games was a great deal, they are both brand new and sealed! Hollywood Video of all places had quite an impressive selection of new and used games! I will be going there in the future for sure!     Everybody knows about Chrono Trigger, I have mastered it on the SNES and PS1 remake, this one has an extra dungeon though so I finally ended up getting this version. It also comes with a poster apparently, that sticker says first run only, maybe I should not open

Thoughts On Titan Mata Nui?

Reminds me alot of Maxillos in design, though perhaps a bit more primitve design wise.   I really hope it is just a combiner set, if not, is there any excuse for such a poor design?

Geolix Has Arrived!

Is it just me or does this set have a ton of neat parts? Look for some of the technic parts in the 54 entry!

Classic Set Spotlight #44

If a tree falls in the forest....   6079 Dark Forest Fortress   Description: Released in 1996 for about 35 dollars. Sells MISB today for a whopping 250 bucks, collectors item for sure. Containing 430 parts and 7 minifigs, this set was part of the limited castle dark forest series, which included a total of only 3 sets.   My take: This looks like your basic forestmen sets, but with a more castle like theme to it. That said, I like the baseplate in this set and the minifigs are all a bit p

Totally Stoked!

Some of you might remember this little creation I made for Cags contest awhile back:   Well, as it turns out I just sold this little beauty as a custom item for 10.99! I am going to begin mass production on these as I have a ton of those parts. Could this be a goldmine in disguise? Also, I ordered a Vohrak with shadow kraata and one of the not yet released power miner sets! Lookie at the big rock guy!

Containing 508 parts and 8 minifigs, this set was the newer version of the original airport set released in 1985. It improved upon the older one in many ways, including a control tower and more baseplates.   My Take: This set was always on my wanted list, never did get it though. I like the large trans

Magnet Madness!

With the arrival of these 70 magnets and a few holders, I can begin work on my hovercraft track idea! I have more holders on the way also. With this many magnets, I have a ton of ideas on neat ways to use them, look for possible WiPs soon.

Apology, Yea.

Well as it seems I have offended some with This entry, I know it is only right to apologize. I thought I was being civil, and polite, but after some light reading I see that I may not have been in the eyes of many important people here. So as I did with Bink, please any that were offended by it accept my sincere apologies. I only had the well being of the BBC forum and members in mind.   And to Vader, please accept my direct apology to you sir, I never really knew you viewed me in such a way
