I don't know how to knit, but I think it'd be cool to learn if only to take a whole bunch of Lego official string and make a custom cape for MOCs. -CF Quote of the Day: Don’t use a preposition to end a sentence with.

I'm not much of a New Year's Resolutions kind of guy, but I thought I'd have some fun with it. (I know how I spelled the title, yes) New Year's Resolutions: 1) Watch more Anime! -The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya -Fullmetal Alchemist -Escaflone -Martian Successor Nadesco 1b) Read more Manga! 2) Build more MOCs! 3) *Obtain sets (but not limited to): -Lesovikk -Hailfire Droid -Chameleon Hunter (green!) -Kirop -Radiak -Fierce Creatures -Key Chain Name Kit -Wizard Impulse Set (x2) -Mars Mission Minifig Impulse Set (x2) ............(Assuming they are $2 each) *Possibly: -River Dragon -Battle Arachnoid -Mini Trains (green!) -Midnight Streak -Lego Star Wars Shirt -Summer sets *To expand my outlook, look into: -Castle -Racers (including Speed Racer) *The resolutions to be broken (wish list): -Rogue Shadow -Ultimate Collector's Millenium Falcon -Y-Wing Fighter See, these can't be broken! I get so little sets as it is, if I don't get something on the list it doesn't matter! -CF Quote of the Day: Why is "phonics" not spelled the way it sounds?

"...and that's what I'm going to do, R2." That said, you can guess what Lego set my friend got me for Christmas. (as mentioned in the last entry) Not into Star Wars? Then I'll say it was the new Naboo N-1 Starfighter with Vulture Droid! It's great, definitely worth the price tag (free for me, but for you....), and with two minfigs (one including small minifig legs) and a whole R2-D2, there are a bunch of sweet pieces in this set. Great pieces include 2 goggles, 4 of these (can't wait to use those), another windscreen, 2 of these (which I need), and 1 of each angle of this (which I needed badly, as in I didn't have any.) I also got Nuparu Mahri (awesome set, I don't see why he got bad reviews) and Matoro Mahri (which I already have, so I'll exchange him to pay for half of Lesovikk) from another friend. We also stayed up to 3:40 watching The Matrix (awesome, but the ending leaves something to be desired. I guess I'll have to see Reloaded and Revolutions eventually), building with Lego, surfing the web, having fun, etc. (eating munchies....) So that was my New Years. Yours? (I guess I'll find out if I read your blog....) -CF Quote of the Day: If you expect the unexpected, doesn't that make the unexpected the expected?

Was out at Wal-Mart this morning to do some last minute shopping, stopped by the LEGO section out of habit and was surprised to see a small selection of Phantoka sets. I'm waiting till after the New Years to do any serious shopping, so I settled for Toa Ignika. It's a pretty cool set. The Toa looks good, though I'd rather he (it?) had a more colorful Kanohi (first Matoro and Nuparu get Silver Kanohi, and now Ignika...) The jet board is probably my second favorite out of the four extra-Toa pack-ins. Kikanalo of course being #1. I wish it had better landing gear, as right now it doesn't sit level unless you prop the back end up on something. But Ignika looks great riding on it. Haven't had a chance to play with the new launcher, but it feels solid, and I'm fairly sure it'll launch quite a ways. All in all, it's a good teaser for me and the 2008 sets. Once they're more readily available, and I've got a bit more cash, I'll start picking them up (Toa only for now). Now if only I could figure out what point there is for the little guys riding on the big guys...

The following is my prediction for 2008 based on the latest Ignition comic: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «Matoro is Toa Ignika. The Ignika will create its own body using the energy Matoro passed through it. Whatever we've been told eariler is going to be techincally true. It's technically not Matoro reborn, it's Toa Ignika. But Matoro has become Toa Ignika. Or rather, will become Toa Ignika. And it's funny, since we were told for a while that the Toa destined to wear the Mask didn't have to neccesarilly be the same one destined to wear it. But go figure, we were right all along. That's why I'm sticking with this. Just you watch.

I may have no idea who this guy is... but he is a LEGO genious! Never have I seen such smooth flowing MOCs, and to pull this off shows his skill in the art.... I begin to wonder what it would be like if he ever got his hands on some Bionicles........ Check out his gallery to see more amazing creations of his. Gallery

A WAMALUG member is selling this if anyone wants it. (If not then he won't order it from the guy he's getting it from) It'll be about $50, including shipping (I think) He also has the option of getting Piraka and Mahri banners if anyone is interested, but there aren't pix. Please tell me now, so I can relay the message to him. If not, then I'll tell him thanks, but no thanks. -CF

I got to get this! Seeing the piece count I thought it'd be $20, but for $13 I'm definitely putting this on my list. -CF Quote of the Day: Why is it called a drive through if you have to stop?

I got these at WAMALUG last weekend. And these came in with an online order, including two Roporak! (Probably the biggest reason I ordered two was for two brown double-joints.) And both came with trans-ice blue bohrok eyes! I was weary because of the name it was uner online. I just hope I can use the katana's in a brown MOC, as I didn't realize they were so light. (Well, they were classified as "dark orange." But nonetheless, I'll use them in a MOC eventually) -CF Quote of the Day: If you ate your tongue, what would it taste like?

So, I was able to get hold of those Zamor on display at Lego Stores. The life size zamor. Omi posted about them and had a good pic. comparison Omi's entry Picture that, but 228 of them! I'll be trading them pretty soon. I first need a trade topic, but I need to figure out what kanohi I want to trade, and I want to have a signed comic as well, which hasn't arrived from GregF yet. (It will come) So, here is me burried in 228 life sized Zamor. (my brother and sister took 2 each, I had 232) After seeing the comments (7!) I might want to add something: They were all free!!! Wait, let me do that again: THEY WERE ALL FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, yeah. -CF

Just decided to click on those column titles at the top of the blog list. and... I am: 5th in number of entries Page 2 for number of comments And #2 on page two for number of views. (T-Hybrid is right above me) But I'm in page 5 on the number of stars rating. -CF Quote of the Day: You have the right to remain silent. Please consider it.

Foolin around with pieces, and came up with this. And that's just 1/3 feet for a WIP. It'll actually be brown and white, with a hint of silver. And the metru leg will be a brown vahki leg. He'll probably have double knees/bent back knees...what are they called? I'm still working out the details. I do know he'll have fingers, possibly clawed. One hand will be holding the arm of a toa while a foot is on top of it's waist and sprawled on the ground. Maybe I'll break of a leg too. So with this WIP idea, I know it's been done before but, I made a Cordak drone. With rapidfire! -CF Quote of the Day: Don’t shoot the messenger.

Blog special prices! For one more day, buy 'em here before the price goes up in my trade topic (yet to be made, BTW) Last year the Lego Stores contained bins of these balls. Unfortunately, they were not for sale. I was able to obtain some of them and now I offer them to you! Pic^ Pic 2 of the balls in a Lego Store (from Omicron) Pic 3 (compare, from Omicron) This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and a priceless collectors item. Right? Who else has these? Now, here's how it's going to work. There will be a set shipping fee and each ball will cost an amount. I have calculated some prices and then reduced them for a week Blog special! I will only take cash, as I have no Paypal account. I will only ship to residents in the USA. If you live in Canada, PM (or email) me and we'll see what I can do. Probably a set/Kanohi exchange for Zamor, unless you have USD. See this list. Once you have an order, email me at ChocolateFrogs01@ SPAMCAKES yahoo.com If you don't have an email or cannot email me, PM me. Any questions can go here. Please specify what color balls you want with your order. Shipping will be $2 plus: 1 Zamor is $3 (Total is $5, etc...) 2 Zamor is $5 3 Zamor is $7 4 Zamor is $9 For more than 4 Zamor, contact me for further shipping details. Any questions can be placed here. Notes: *You send cash first. If you're a TT or staff then I'm fine with sending first. *Once we arrange a deal through email or PM, I'll give you my address in which to send money to. *Shipping will take 2-3 days. Happy buying! -CF

Ah, the holidays. Yes, it's better to give than to receive. But since people want to know what other people would like, everybody has a wish list. I won't bore you with my whole list, but I was able to compile a list of Lego I want (as in sets with good peices that will be nice for MOCing), and then cut it in third. And I probably won't get all of these anyway. (Listed by price) * Bridge Walker vs. White Lightning (if it's still around) *** MX-71 Recon Dropship (in place of BW v. WL) * Maxilos and Spinax (I doubt I'll get him, I'd rather have the Dropship) * Naboo N-1 Starfighter with Vulture Droid (I love that big wing piece) *** Lesovikk (He's amazing. Great pieces too) *** Lobster Strike (I realized this comes with great pieces) *** Iron Condor (pieces, etc. It's cool) * Toa Mahri Nuparu (armor) * Claw Crusher (He comes with many ball joint bricks that I'd use) * Morak (I need blue visorak feet. But I don't use blue often) * MX-11 Astro Fighter (another one, maybe...) * Mini Robots (maybe) (telephones!) * Ultimate Collector’s Millennium Falcon (yeah right) I have two siblings (so that's one set, hopefully Lesovikk), my parents (that's 0-1 set; one of the first three), my grandma, and my uncle. There's another uncle, but he'll probably just get me an American Express gift card which I probably will not be allowed to use towards Lego. But I'll tell him what I want anyway, sometimes he'll send stuff. Luckily I can count on my two friends to get me Lego, usually the new stuff, and then more 4 weeks later for my birthday. I've also been thinking that I don't quite need Bridge Walker, so I might drop it and just ask for the Recon Dropship.... That's my opinion on sets. I figure you might agree/disagree, have comments. (But I don't think you'll be able to sway me to a different set) Now all I have to do is place the appropriate clews. -CF Quote of the Day: It's only when you look at an ant through a magnifying glass on a sunny day that you realize how often they burst into flames. -- Harry Hill

I'm away so I can't take pictures, but it should be noted that Hydraxon comes with a really awesome new (or at least, I'm pretty sure it's new) piece to attach his trident weapon with. It's rather hard to describe, but it basically has a + hole in the middle of it and then three two-length plus rods coming out of it at equal intervals around the circle. I could see it being useful. I was at the Washington Squar Lego store yesterday. I tried to get a $6.95 can of bricks from the pick-a-brick wall, but with so many useful pieces I wanted, my packing skills and I just weren't able to fit them in one. So I ended up getting a $12.95 can with exactly (not on purpose mind you) 250 pieces. Note however that most of them all small such as 2x2 plates. Snagged 31 of the rounded 2x2 plates with the one stud on top, such as those used as the cymbals in my B2C246 entry in light grey. I also got 34 of the 1x2 plate with one centered stud on top. Also some platforms which I should be using later. Oh...and Hyrdaxon (see above). I've found that Cordak launchers take some breaking in, really. I thought I'd mastered them a few months ago when I was able to fire them all within one or two seconds, but it turns out that new ones, such as on my Jaller, Hewkii and Hyrdaxoj, though I think they fly farther when they fire, tend not to fire as easily. My Kongu ones are really worn in because of the set review.

One of these? Two? And don't forget to think of shipping. So, random numbers, if shipping was $2 (which it isn't), then would you pay $4 each? Or $3? Or what if I did like Binky did with the BZPower bricks (giving me one would get you two zamor, BTW) and have each cost something and have a set shipping price? And don't worry about shooting yourself in the foot with what you say. I'll take everybody's idea's into consideration. And no, free is not an answer. I remember seeing these in the Lego store and thinking they could sell them for $3, or $3.50. What do you think? Assuming you want some.... -CF

Well, one of my Lego models has been permanently taken apart. Both of the other two models it came with are taken apart and it's the worst of the three, so I took it apart for better sorted pieces. I don't ever use it. Actually, I hardly use any of my system sets anymore. It's about time I took this first step, but it's still somehow hard. I'm also not going to rebuild my mini Millennium Falcon which was taken apart to attempt to build the Enterprise (NCC 1701). Now if only I could take this step with my Bionicles. I play with them much more often than the system, but even then it's rare. Mostly I'll just take one or two out to pose and carry around the house for a few days. Maybe experiment with the projectiles. Anyway, I'm considering taking apart Nivahk, because I've taken it apart twice this month already.

I had my camera with me at school, so I snapped a photo of my locker door. I definitely suggest looking at if close up. Everything explained! (Sorry, that one's PNG so the words don't get fuzzy. It's worth it.) I have more, it just won't fit.... -CF Quote of the Day: Peanuts are one of the ingredients of dynamite.

Just got Hahli and Kongu Inika for a total of $12. (if you remember the Tuesday Morning sales) Hahli is cool, the gunmetal is nice. And the white blends in well with the white blue. (thanks Nukora). I wasn't really having any drawbacks with buying her. I really needed those white joints. (And a new ball joint is always nice) Kongu though, I didn't really like all the dark in him. Upon building the set I saw that it were the pictures not doing him justice. The silver really redeems him. Overall, the Inika weren't my favorite Toa group, but these sets aren't bad. I don't think I'll get Jaller any time soon, even if just to say I've finally got a set of 6. It's all for the pieces. -CF Quote of the Day: February 1865 is the only month in recorded history not to have a full moon.
