Day #1 at LEGO

Dear diary...EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!   ...no, no, not going there ^^ Though I have seen my fair share of spaceships and hundreds of other designs today. The day started relatively early compared to my old job and got interesting immediately as I met my colleague who got hired through the same workshop I attended. We had a camera team at the workshop filming some of us for a documentary on Channel 4 on UK television and apparently they hadn't had enough yet since they accompanied us all the way

My official Set list

Heya! It's been a while, huh?   January marked my 4 year anniversary here at LEGO. It doesn't feel like that long at all. Everything is still awesome and so the list grows:       60222 - Snow Groomer   This one is very dear to me. When I was a kid, my family would often go skiing for the winter holidays and inevitably, I would try to build the snow groomers I saw out on the slopes once we got back home. So you can imagine the excitement when it was decided to have one in our 2019 gre

Starting work as a LEGO designer.

Happy New Year everybody!   Long time no see, eh? Even longer since I had anything to blog about. But that's about to change.   Tomorrow I'm flying to Denmark to start my new job on Tuesday. Amazing to think that in more or less 48 hours I'll be a part of the LEGO design team in Billund.     Allons-y!

Update

Yeah, I am still working on stuff inbetween studying (*cough*slacking*cough*).  So, here goes nothing:           Enjoy.   PS:   Funnny how 4 words can ruin the mood for the whole weekend. Thanks for that.

My first official SET

Super Excited to finally show y’all my first official LEGO Set! Our LEGO City Volcano Explorers need to go places, so they need a big truck to get there.   Worked on this for about 6 months last year. Still doesn’t feel quite real that this little thing I was brooding over on my desk is now shipping worldwide!

The Horde/skakdi Group Organization And Discussion Entry

Thanks guys! I hope this blog does help us to organize these things better. Even though I've GMed a whole RPG before, running a group within the BZPRPG is something I am not 100% sure how to manage yet. So, you'll get to participate quite a bit ^^   Active members:   -Rhow -Iraanus -Destian -Taoki -Kahlynn -Viloz -Sookus -Mortis     Group code (Well, more like...'guidelines' ):   -The horde is a mercenary fighting force mainly comprised of Skakdi members. Other species are welcome, but they hav

What a lovely day! (For MOCing)

If you haven't guessed yet - the title is a Mad Max reference. I saw it last Thursday here in Denmark and it is an amazing, amazing movie. Not in the way of breaking new ground, since it basically comes down to a 1 hour 45 minute chase, but the way Miller made his movie really shows how to do an action movie like this. Every frame is just wonderful and a little piece of art IMO. But enough gushing, I actually am working on something for myself and since it's all in LDD I can show a WIP too!   Sh

And Here...we...go!

So I became a lifetime premier member, so you are not going to get rid of me anytime soon.   So welcome to my little dragons cave. I will occasionally update this thing with non-Bionicle art, findings on the net that amuse me (according to BZP policy of course) and other things.   So, if you want to ask me stuff, about me or things I do here on BZP, feel free to do so.   -VF

Reach

So the game is out since a couple of days now...unfortunately I can't play it since I do not own a 360 and do not plan to buy one soon. I am just not a fan of consoles.   What I am a fan of is Spartan Supersoldiers though ^^ Now what to do with 8-10 Armors scored at BFair...oh RIGHT!   ^Click the Image^

Update with Pictures! (Including new Sets)

Hey folks, it's been a quiet few days, but settling in here and just adjusting to everything has been quite exhausting, so coming home there is little will to go on social media and such. However, today there was finally time to go through the pictures that were taken the past couple of weeks and I can show some of the things I've been working on here finally. LEGO World happened last weekend and the Wednesday before it me and a a few others from the City design team headed down to Copenhagen to

Jurassic World Review

Much better than I feared, not as good as I'd hoped.   Major props to the art department of the film, the movie looks great and the CGI was really well-integrated. Scenes where characters and dinos were interacting in closeups looked really nice and it actually felt like an actual creature was there and getting touched, not just a green-skinned thing that was replaced later. I think some animatronics were used, but it's hard to tell.   The premise of the new bad dino is also cool, turning living

The Final Frontier

Every once in a while Nostalgia strikes and I take a look at something that was really cool and "in" when I was about 6 years old or so. That usually involves looking at old cartoons. Often enough one finds that what was considered epic storytelling at that age is rather simple in hindsight. But sometimes you find that something that was seemingly boring at the time was actually really cool!   The next Generation was the Star Trek show I grew up with. Unfortunately, back in 90s and slightly more

Week #1 at LEGO

And thus the first week at the new job is over. I've completed my first two work assignments and am currently on my third, which I will get back to on Monday. I can't really talk about them, but it involved new sets and building some larger models of my own design for an upcoming display. I learned and saw so many things, that is really doesn't feel like only one week yet. It actually feels a bit unreal to think that last weekend I was still living in my family's house in my own room.   Now this

LEGO World

I am currently buys helping the team with preparations for LEGO World in Copenhagen, which will start on the 12th of Febuary, (so even before NY Toy fair, for those of you hungry for news).   It's apparently a public event, so if you happen to live in or are in Denmark at the time, seems like a cool thing to check out. Also there will be a display which I had my hands on, so it will also be the first time something I built at work becomes public.   https://www.legoworld.dk/

Legoland, the Silent Hill edition

Three weeks pass quickly. Even more so when you have so much fun at work that you start looking forward to Mondays (Crazy, right?) It's been really cold here this week in Billund and I think I saw the sun about three times in total. And this was the view (or lack thereof) on the way home from work tonight. It's just missing the sirens for that real horror game feel.     On the upside, quite a number of the new designers have banded together and organized a number of activities despite the

Infrequent News: 4 months and counting.

Hey y'all!   It's gotten a bit quiet here the last 2 months or so. I hadn't planned on that, but you know if you want to make the great beings laugh, just tell them your plans. Usually what gets in the way of writing a blog is the inevitable need for sleep and a number of other free-time activities, such as participation in the BZPRPG, hitting the gym and catching up on art and PC games a little. But mostly it is my tendency of staying longer at work, which leaves very little time to actually si

Ten thousand Bricks and counting

I just realized I've been working here for 3 weeks now and have probably gone through 10000 bricks or more, easily. I guess as being hired from the AFOL community, building stuff just for fun after hours as a hobby is not as common as one would think. It is a job after all, even if it's the best in the world so far. But staying a little longer and chatting with the other colleagues is great fun and it's nice to be able to chat for a few hours and exchange thoughts on designs and bounce ideas off

Update Incoming

I just realized something:   I miss blogging with all you awesome folks!   So, without delaying too much, I shall refurbish this blog to finally fit in with the new forum layout, do some new funky pictures and then I'll get down with the groove, do the boogy and...   Ok, enough blabbering, I'll just get back to updating here more regularly.   See you guys in the blogsphere! =)

Keep The Fun Going!

Hey y'all. I finally got settled in in NYC. It is smelly, loud and fast and I love it ^^   How to keep the fun going after BFair? I dunno. The awesome combination is like a chemistry-formula that may not be receated like this, but certainly going to the biggest TRU on Times-Square and continue checking out brand-new sets (and feeling smug because we've seen them all out of the box ) keeps that feeling going.   Needless to say I picked up a few things. In which case I need to watch oout because

Scotland!

Yup! Off to Scotland, specifically, Edinburgh.   I have no clue what the city will be like, none at all, but one thing is sure: It's time to learn a new English accent =D   I'll be back by monday night and I will have a laptop with me over the weekend, just don't expect me to post much.   Judging by the activity on my blog here, I'm sure that won't be a problem   Stay safe everyone!

Why Inception Doesn't Work On Bzp-members.

Remember those subconscious projections Cobb faced off against? Guardians for your dream and mind while you sleep? The ordinary human may have day-to-day citizens perform that role, we have Toa who BURN STUFF by flicking their pinkies. And on a more personal note: If you do happen to manage it past the burn-stuff-stage in my mind, I've got Sharks, Robots, Assasins, Darth Vader and a T-Rex all waiting just for YOU Oh and on the third level there is a labyrinth that is haunted by a hybrid
