I have complained about the new sets, twice a year, for the past 3-4 years. Yes, I'm one of the starry-eyed 2001-fans.
These sets are best in a long time. I only have one minor compalint so far: the hands. I had this problem with Knights' Kingdom when it came out 4 years ago: it looks like the figures have six fingers, and you can't tell which is the right hand and which is the left!
Other than that, I'm lovin' the tan, met
Thanks to everyone for the encouranging remarks about my last MOC. Incence'n'Peppermints recently left a nice comment in my profile and got me thinking about doing another one. So here is the new MICRO one along with the original for comparison. It was pretty difficult to capture all the details while transferring the original design to micro-scale. But eventually I figured it out.
Click for the topic.
What do you guys think about the Mistika's $3 price increase?
Personally, I'll be waiting until 2009 to buy the sets on clearance. $13 for a canister set is too much for me. Today I bought 4 Barraki for $5 each.

I just brought in the family mail, which included:
16 Christmas cards
3 brochures and ads
1 designer catalog
1 package from an eBay seller - my dad's present!
I didn't think it would arrive in time for Christmas, but it did!
In other news, these new rank images are pretty cool - thanks, ToM!
Merry Christmas, everyone!

Has anybody been to a Lego convention in LA? Bricks LA was the top Google result. I always enjoyed looking at pics of displays from conventions around the world. I never attended one, though. I think it might be fun to swing by Bricks LA this January. I live within driving distance of the venue. Any advice or tips from experienced convention attendees?
I ended up seeing Gran Torino with my dad and cousins and I'm seeing Slumdog Millionaire next weekend. Kind of weird, how I don't go to the movies for over 6 months, then I go to the theaters 3 times within a 2-week span.
Clint Eastwood was really good in the movie. I'd recommend it if you're okay with the language.

Do we get a "Which Member Do You See Most Often?" topic in General Discussion every few days?
And there's always several members who make the same old joke. You know the one, "I always see [their display name here]! That guy follows me everywhere!"

Isn't it strange how when a topic is locked, the staff member locking it writes, "Topic closed," but when locking a blog entry they write, "Entry locked?"

This evening, I was at a Barnes & Noble. When I went to the cashier, he asked me if I had any special coupons. I told him I have my Borders Rewards card. He responded, with a straight face, "This isn't Borders."
What makes it even worse? I was buying the book "1001 Dumbest Things Ever Said."
It's 10:00 P.M., I'm tired, and I have a huge Biology assignment due tomorrow. I have to answer about 4 pages of questions and design a Dichotomous Key (Google it). I'm starting now.
Wish me luck.

I have a feeling this coming week will be a good week. I'm going to enter school with a positive attitude tomorrow. I don't know why, I just have this feeling that I'll be on top of things.
(Wow, this is a first.)
In other news, BR turned 34 6 years old today! Let's all wish him a happy birthday.
Also, 67 years ago, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor: Dec. 7th, 1941. Remember the innocent Americans who died today.

I'm been so bogged down with school and other activities that I've had no time to log on here. Now that everything's settling down I figured I'd check in...
I spent the last 5 weekends (from Thanksgiving to Christmas) playing with the Metrolink Toy Train band. Each Friday, Saturday, and Sunday we rode the train to 3-5 different train stations throughout Southern California and played for hundreds (sometimes thousands) of people. The songs we played were pretty generic, but fun nevertheless. I
