Rare set alert!
6067 Guarded Inn
Description: Released in 1986 as a part of the Lion Knights series, retail price was about 20 dollars. Can be found today MISB for a whopping 300 bucks! The reason is that this set was a limited release, therefore has become very rare 23 years later! Containing 228 parts and 4 minifigs, the set is your basic middle ages pub/inn.
My take: Oh how I wish I had gotten this set. it would have complimented my Forestmen sets nicely. Not to mention it is
Well it seems that the ol Glock 9 has landed in Poll Brian, along with Roa's Flintlock Pistol and What's? AK-47. If you think it worthy of your votes, I will be needing them, vote for entry 2! Good luck to all!
I am getting old people! My plans include going to work for 9 hours, getting home and opening presents, if I have any!
My 18th was so much more fun...
Update, birthday goods:
First of all, some lego sets!
And some white chocolate/cadbury eggs, which is my biggest weakness!
Lastly, a limited edition Ratchet and Clank PSP with RUSH game!
Just a reminder, when the final voting of BBC 52 ends, TSC begins. The theme will be very challenging, rest assured of that. Prizes may include either a blue Matatu or trans light blue Kaukau. There will be a long entry period, probably more than 30 days, just to ensure that I will get a minimum of 20 entries.
What will the theme be? No answers just yet, it will be revealed when the official contest entry is made.
First of all, I must cry injustice! There are several entries that have no thumbnail images, which are no doubt costing them votes! I do hope this is fixed as soon as possible, our beloved Roa Mc Toa has one of these entries! Next I have to thank the BBC staff for getting the polls up quickly.
Lastly, if you deem it worthy of your votes, the Glock 9mm can be found in preliminary poll Fabian. Good luck to all in the contest!
In regards to the latest News Announcement, I have looked very closely at some of these kanohi and other one of a kind collectables.
There are a few of them, like the dark blue Matatu, that appear to be fakes, look very closely. This is my own opinion of course but there are other kanohi collectors that agree with me. Others like the white Huna appear real, but it almost is too bright a shade of white. These were apparently obtained directly from lego.
If any of you plan to bid on thes
Lets play cops and robbers!
6755 Sheriff's Lock Up
Description: Released in 1996 and retail price was about 20 bucks. Today can be found MISB for about 70 bucks. Containing 159 parts and 4 minifigs. The set was released as a part of the lego Western/Cowboy series.
My take: Showdown at high noon! This looks like a cool set, the jail cell blown open, as seen in the image there with a cute little dynamite system tile, my how lego has evolved now with the Power Miners dynamite . Unti
Wow, I have been playing it on hard mode. It is tough, very tough, ridley and mother brain were difficult. I am now in the chozo ruins and cannot seem to get my power suit back. 3 hits from the space pirates and old zero suit Samus is toast!
Anyone have some tips? It is a shot in the dark but hey, I need help on this!
A good MoC builder always has new part orders coming in!
Included in this batch are 32 trans clear hinges, 8 trans neon green quarter saucers, 9 giant sized system tiles and a ton of those little hinge fingers.
Who is ready for the great outdoors!
6552 Rocky River Retreat
Description: Released in 1993 and retailing for about 30 dollars, can be found today MISB for about 70 bucks. Containing 232 parts and 2 minifigs, this was one of the recreational series.
My take: Looks like this set has it all for the outdoorsman lego fan. I like the selection of minifig tools in this set, metal detector, broom, frying pan and so on. It also comes with a cowgirl minifig and a steed! Until next week!

So my order came in today, clear from down under. I guess these were not sold in the US, meaning there might be some rare kanohi in them! Rumor has it that these polybags are the ones you might find the white huna, dark blue matatu or dark red ruru. I want to open them, but at the same time I do not! What do I do with these now, sell them? Open them?
Im banking on this one...
1490 Lego Bank
Description: Released in 1988 and retail price was about 20 dollars. Containing 174 parts and 3 minifigs, can be found MISB today for anywhere between 400 and 1000 dollars, this is one of the rarest lego sets ever made.
My take: What makes this set so rare? I honestly have no idea, I guess it was one of those forgotten sets that just did not sell very well or was limited in quantity. Playability looks pretty limited, you can probably stage a
What a game. Came right down to the wire, lots of big plays, plenty of questionable calls. In the end, the Steelers pulled it out. It is a great time to be a Pittsburgh fan right now! I won some cash on a bet, plus now I can claim bragging rights all offseason long at work.
People give me a hard time, seeing me in my Seattle Seahawks jacket and rooting for the Steelers. As you may recall, the Steelers won Super Bowl XL against the Seahawks 3 years ago, a game with a ton of botched calls
I always knew it was there, but until just very recently, I never knew how to do it.
The game is Simcity for Super Nintendo. You might remember I had a blog entry on this game before. Since it was released in 1991, I found myself hooked on this game, it is simple yet extremely complex at the same time. I have been doing searches online since I had the internet, looking for the elusive debug code for this game. Nothing ever surfaced.
But now, it has finally been revealed. If anyone is
Surfs up dudes!
6595 Surf Shack
Description: Released in 1993 as a part of the recreational town series. Retail price then was about 8 bucks, today can be purchased MISB for around 30 dollars. Containing 80 parts and 3 minifigs.
My take: Never had the set, not too much to elaborate on here. It is a surfers shack, looks like there is a rack for the surf boards and life jackets. Possibly some condiments behind the shack there, looks like a ketchup and mustard holder. Until next wee
What is your highest Cruel Brawl score?
The most I have gotten so far is 5 with Metaknight and Jigglypuff. My goal is to get at least 12, somehow, and proof of it with a screenshot.
I really dislike the blue alloy.
Picture this, being able to grow back lost teeth, crazy right?
These things are allready happening. Soon there may be a cure for paraplegics also. It is a little thing called Stem Cells, possibly the future of not only medicine, but science as well! In Europe, it is allready happening, with people having grown back lost teeth!
3...2...1...Liftoff!
6339 Shuttle Launch Pad
Description: Released in 1995 as part of the Town series. Containing 547 parts and 4 minifigs, retail price was about 50 bucks. Today can be bought MISB for 200 dollars, a collectable set to be sure. Features included a detachable rocket booster, working crane, shuttle interior and launch command area. The crane can be used to pull in the shuttle, connecting with the rockets.
My take: I had this set at one time. It was actually alot of
Great games yesterday, a quick recap:
Arizona beat Philadelphia, after Philly scored 19 unanswered points they were unable to win the game. Heartbreak for Eagles fans, Andy Reid just cannot seem to be successful in the NFC championship. Arizona will be playing in its first ever super bowl game! Kurt Warner and Larry Fitzgerald were unstoppable in this game!
And, Pittsburgh beat Baltimore, major winnage! Pitt is in the big game again! Both games were very entertaining, there was a big
