This is so dumb but I desperately want to go down to the Fashion Valley LEGO store and buy a few cheap sets and get some Hero Packs even though I already have dozens of those orange masks. I just want the stickers and I want the map and I just like getting the polybag. Curse the weird collector impulse.
Send me a HF set so I can review it for the frontpage because I am both too poor to afford them, and they haven't shown up here yet. I checked this morning.
I really want to photograph them and be hyper-critical of them so that the masses go back to thinking I hate all LEGO sets.

(But if you really want to send me one I won't stop you)
Okay, there will be a news article sometime soon with the details for how to send in MOCs for BricksCascade (and by extension, any MOCs sent in for Cascade will be automatically sent to Brickfair as well, as I'm the coordinator for both conventions, and so for just one shipment of MOCs, your stuff can hit both coasts). ALSO THERE WILL BE PROTOTYPES FOR ANYONE WHO SENDS STUFF IN. BUT, that's not what I'm here for right now. One of the great things about BIONICLE and BZPower has always been th
Hello from Austin, Texas!
Yes, on a whim my BFF Joe and I drove to Austin. This time my trip definitely involves running away from my problems in life.
Which is okay! I am having a good time.
Smiley face!
So, I've been home from Oregon for... four days? I spent nine days there, and four days on a bus round trip. It was fun, and it was worth every second.
On the way there someone on the bus has a seizure, and that was after we'd been delayed four hours.
On the way home, we were drug searched by a K-9 unit.
It was awesome.
(And worth it? Totes!)
It was really cool being in Oregon, though. I've never been further west than Oklahoma, so it was a great trip full of great scenery. And in
Hey, MOCists.
Have you seen this?
Because if you haven't, you need to read it, and read it now. It will help you post the best MOC photos possible.
Red Baron's Photography Guide
You need to read this. (It also needs to get moved to the BBC).
Happy Halloween, here are some appropriately themed MOCs. First, Chad, the big, RAD, wolf, my BBC contest 71 entry: (Photo links to BZP topic) And my own Spooky, Scary Skeleton, a tablescrap from before we moved from SoCal back to Portland: Have a good time, and be safe!
So, three days ago it was January 16th, 2008.
I joined BZP on January 16th, 2002.
Six years is a long time, kids. I mean, six years ago, there was no War in Iraq, I was in high school, wasn't driving, was jobless, etc.
Six years is more than 25% of my life (I liked five years better, because then it was exactly 25% of my life [much more fun]). I mean, I was a little 14, almost fifteen, year old high schooler. Now I'm a twenty, almost twenty-one, year old college Junior. I'm so old! Ha
So, Halloween on a college campus.
TOO MANY LITTLE KIDS CLOGGING MY ELEVATORS.
Poor cleaning ladies.
Oh man, seriously. The lil kids were everywhere. I felt like I was covered in ants, they were so numerous. I've never been so ready to lock my door and go to bed, ever.
And I'm even one of those people who like kids.
Yeesh.
If things this weekend go like today did, there's no way I won't have the dragon done bigger and better for Brickfair. All I need are legs, a tail, and wings.
Totes stoked!
UPDATE:
Back legs are done. Half the tail is done. Next up, front legs, the rest of the tail, and then countless hours being frustrated over wings!
So my goal, as I may or may not have stated in the past, is to built one MOC per month, at least, for the entirety of 2014. In January I had Hahli Husky. In February I had a Kakaru MOC I haven't posted. In March I had Samus. In April I had both Onua and Bec Noir. And in May I now have a Gundam. Link to topic:
Here's an image of Gresh for those of you who might be interested/ want to satiate your thirst for 2009 images.
Also, I edited my blogroll to be more in line with what I read daily.
Figure out the nicknames!
At NYCC, Julie had an extra gift for the three of us who had been under NDA with her for several months: It is signed by the designers, and is apparently one out of ten total posters printed of this image. We finally got a custom frame for it, and now it's all pretty! Just in time to get packed up to move to California, lol.
