I think this is the longest I've gone between blog postings, oops...
Been busy, real busy. Got myself a new job in early November, been slaving away at that, although last week hasn't been as bad. Worked 77 hours the week before, though.
And there's been a lot of LEGO-related stuff going on too, of course. I have fun pictures of a couple of things.
First, over the last week I've been incrementally backing up the full BZPower machine, and finally downloaded all the relevant content to my new computer. Then I burned a backup DVD, and since my new comp has nifty "LightScribe" capabilities, I just had to burn a cool Hapori Tohu image onto it. It came out extremely cool!
That's 4.1GB of your favorite Bionicle fan site in my hand, database included.
Another fun thing I did today was fill up one of my holiday gift boxes at the LEGO store. (I got three boxes, gave one away as a gift.) You can fit a surprising amount into a 4.5 x 3.5 x 3.5" box. Took 90 minutes to pack it, but as you can see below, it was worth it. I was curious, and counted the elements.
327x 1x2 White Tiles
216x 1x4 Dark Bley Gray Brick with Groove
109x 1x2 Bley Hinge (male)
109x 1x2 Bley Hinge (female)
32x 2x8 Bley Plates
44x 2x4 White Plates
40x 1x2 Transparent Bricks (no tube)
34x 2x3 Red Plates
Total: 911 pieces
Being even more curious, I looked on BrickLink to price them out. At absolute minimum price, the box contains $20 worth of brick. At a more reasonable median price, it's worth at least $46. The dark blay 1x4 bricks with groove are really rare, at 23 cents each. Duh, they're dark gray, not bley...
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus!
