I have one of each and I am happy. (I also have one of most of the collectible minifigs, so I guess that's not super exclusive for the hot dog unicorn case.)

Ice Butterfly

17 pieces for the butterfly, 3 for the stand, 20 overall. (Unless you count the lever and base as separate pieces, in which case you're evil.)

Still remember when we got the list of names for the 2010 sets which sounded so bogus but then turned out to be totally accurate.

(At least it means the theme will probably be returning next year. Probably.)

They're only just now getting around to nominating your SHIP?

Sounds like a blast, wish I could've been there. Glad you had a good time!

"Gentles, do not reprehend:

if you pardon, we will mend:

And, as he is an honest Pat,

If we have a nasty spat

Now to ‘scape the serpent’s tongue,

We will make amends ere long;

Else the Deevs a liar call;

So, good night unto you all.

Give him your hands, if ye be friends,

And DeeVee shall restore amends"

Kapura

Also an image of fear.

On, I was going to guess it would be on a "Most Wanted" segment.   

Congrats!

Spoiler-Tony Stark unveils the Iron Ant DUNDUNDUN!!!

I've had a fair amount of smaller packages from Europe come in banged up. But the Lego inside can generally withstand the beating, plus I'm always cheap with shipping. Glad your stuff survive the trip in THAT box.

I can't think of an exact combination off the top of my head. I would think it'd be some experimental pizza using an odd combination of ingredients which, on their own, are pretty good but when they come together they're kinda bleh.

As for the others:

Skull Warrior is peperoni, a little borning but a classic.

Skull Basher is Hawaiian, a bit different but still an acceptable favorite.

Skull Slicer is like a bit of everything, which sounds good but then it turns out to be pretty messy when you get the end product.

Skull Grinder is cheesy bread, you're only ordering him because he comes with the Mask of Creation.

You're gonna wake up one day and find you ooooooooold!!

I never had any sockets break on me... before 2007. Since then, I've worn through a few of my older ones, but now I just buy a ton of replacements so it's not quite as heartbreaking anymore. I've stored a small collection of broken joints, but not quite as many as you've got there. Wow.

Toa Nuva. Specifically chubby Pohatu Nuva.

Toa Hordika. Yes, the sets were "supposed to look ugly" but they're still ugly and having a storyline reason doesn't make it better.

The Stars sets. Mainly just that cheap design, so you could also add in the Av-Matoran, Agori, and V1 HF Heroes.

Titan Mata Nui. Or, well, I never actually owned it, but it looks like a messed up build, so might as well mention it.

Naw, can't be the LoSS, has too many legs.

When my parents visited Australia and told people they were from Alaska, the locals still thought they were Canadian. I've heard the Canadian > American thing happens in a lot of countries.

While I won't defend the quality of MoL, it's pleasant to know that it wasn't the fatal crash of Bionicle but merely an unfortunate bump in the road.

Or otherwise known as "EVERYTHING AFTER 2001 WAS A COPYCAT WANNABE." Ah, the memories.

Seems cool in that everyone has a role to play.  Although, to be honest, the Wraith sounds like it has the best role.

IMO I liked the movies where the characters more closely resembled the sets.

As for the G2 animations, the actual animation bits of it are incredibly well done, it's more of the short narrative / single voice actor that bothers me.

Yeah, and they seem to stay on the same planet a lot. You'd think they'd spread out a little more, or maybe there just wasn't enough creativity to think of another planet environment.

It should be "A Compromise".

Or "I AM Le Selup SPLEL CHEPMSDIN" but that might be too long?

Wait, you're buying new shoes right before the hike, without breaking them in first?? Let me know how that goes.

Bend: worst traffic you'll ever see in a small town. Or so I've been told.

I didn't start flunking out until my second year... yay exceeding expectations!  (I know my school also required some profs to fail a certain percentage of students for each class... y'know, to make it more competitive.)

You know what they say, do what you love and you'll never work another day in your life... because that field isn't hiring.  *Take business courses.  Dull but useful.*

They have skulls, but its on the outside of their heads, not on the inside. Thus, exoskeleton, or rather, exoskulls.

Granted, the Skull Spiders were already fakes for only having four legs instead of eight.
