    Skelewheel

    By Bfahome,

    The Skull Buddies' new armor piece makes a pretty neat shape when arranged in a circle. Very nicely rounded. Was trying to make like a demon nautilus or something but I've run out of ideas at the moment. I think if I had more of the inner components I could make the full circle, since I have eight of the armor pieces.

    Star Wars Rebels

    By Bfahome,

    Pros:
     
    - Seems like it's basically Firefly for kids
    - Decently animated
    - Steve Blum
    - The Inquisitor is literally Admiral Zhao
    - Sabine fulfills my "character with cool helmet/mask" quota
     
    Cons:
     
    - Some model designs look a bit silly (Wookies, lightsabers, Darth Vader)
    - Seems like this one group is the center of all activity in the galaxy
    - Not only do I really want to make a Mandalorian helmet now, I also want to give it all kinds of cool functions

    First Mosaic

    By Bfahome,

    18x18, made as a quick side project while I work on the big one. Front, back.
     
    It is currently in the possession of Coestar, who I randomly decided to make it for. Never done any fan art or sent in anything to anyone before so I decided to try it in a medium I'm familiar with.

    Unfortunately

    By Bfahome,

    Didn't get the LEGO Store job. Looks like I'll be working the same job as the past two summers.
     
    What's worse is there are reasons why this might be a good thing.

    Skull Spider Tower

    By Bfahome,

    Since I have like a billion Skull Spiders now I made a tower. It's stacked segments of three spiders. They're in like a wheel shape that's held together by leg friction.

    Uh, question

    By Bfahome,

    So I applied for a summer Brick Specialist job in February. Is it normal to not get a response for two months, or could my email have eaten the reply and destroyed my chances?
     
    (I got the "application submitted" auto-response, but nothing beyond that, no interview requests or anything.)
     
    Haha never mind, called them and now I have an interview scheduled in a couple of weeks. Woo!

    This summer

    By Bfahome,

    So I've applied to work at both the LEGO Store in Burlington, MA, and the LEGOLAND Discovery Center in Somerville, MA. Basically just retail work, but it would be something a bit more personally interesting than what I've done that past couple of summers. A bit more consistent, too.
     
    And there's the plus of being able to see people I barely ever get to see because while I spiritually live in Massachusetts I've been physically stuck in Maine my entire life.
     
    Also, I just looked at the word "Massachusetts" for too long so it stopped seeming like a word.
     
    Anyway, here's hoping one of them hires me.

    Wouldn't it be cool if it actually had some story significance where in the summer the villains steal everyone's masks (because that's one of the possibilities I see from the way the sets are) but then Tahu realizes the power was inside him all along, and this cool ghostly mask appears on his face and he comes back and saves everyone? And then their powers aren't tied to their masks anymore. I think that'd be a neat way of possibly introducing mask powers in a way that's consistent with the new story and probably easier to keep track of (rather than introducing both the character's powers and the mask's powers at the same time).
     
    I picked up my Lord of Skull Spiders today, which made me think of this. It's an okay set.
     
    Also, my blogaversary was five days ago, but I forgot because I was distracted.

    Pegboard Nerds

    By Bfahome,

    Breaking the trend of these entries having the name of the song in the title because "Emergency" is probably one of the clickbaitiest titles I could give an entry. Don't do clickbait, kids.
     
    Also because this song is relevant too, since it's been my signature for the past few months:

    I've been considering placing multiple orders for sets I sort of want in order to get multiples of the Hero Pack polybag, but then I remembered what happened last time I received a promotional product with a Shop@Home order.
     
    A couple of summers ago, just back from the first BrickFair NE, I had a $50 LEGO gift card to spend. So I ended up buying Eris' Eagle Interceptor and the Iron Man set with the boat (don't recall the exact name and don't feel like guessing). Unfortunately, the Iron Man set was on back order, so I got the Interceptor first. It included the Chima CHI Battles set, which was a promotion I was unaware of. So that was pretty cool. But when I got around to receiving the Iron Man set, that box also contained a CHI Battles set. So I got two off of one order.
     
    So, just for the heck of it, I might try to order both the Lord of Skull Spiders and another set that looks decent and is back ordered, if I can find one. Worst case scenario I only get one polybag with the order, but if it works anything like it did last time then I might get two without having to pay for extra shipping.
     
    And having multiples would be good, for unspecified reasons.

    Didn't know about this game until I saw Coe play it with Avidya and Pause, and it looked really cool so I bought it and I've been playing it and it's really fun and challenging.
     
    I think a lot of the challenge for me comes from trying to get used to gamepad controls, though.
