This was posted in LGD by Binky. I thought it deserved more exposure: Punk'd, Lego style » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «It shows how a specially programmed Mindstorms NXT can playfully fool people. It makes use of its sound sensor to move forward, and 'breaks' the glass of the box it sits in.

So, remember that MOC I made and was all excited about? Here it is! Sumorahk Pic 2 He seemed to have had a very nice time with Vezok and Reidak (although this doesn't seem to be possible) I basically replaced some rahkshi parts to make a stronger looking rahkshi, but kept with the feel (like body, and back) Should I post this in the BBC forum, or is this too basic? -CF

So my history class did a secret santa for the past two weeks, and the person who had me was awesome! Aside from three whole candy bars for last week's small gift, this week I got the Exo-Force Grand Titan and Stealth Hunter! Well, I already had Stealth Hunter, so I started building Grand Titan in class! (Keep in mind I'm 16, and a Junior) It was cool for my LEGO fanness to be revealed to the whole class, as everyone there is just like, "wow, he's actually building it" But they were supportive, saying things like "He'll have that done it five minutes" and just shouting across the room "how's it going, Ben?" and I'd give a thumbs up and keep looking for the next piece. (It was a little hard, because I had a small building area, pieces in bags, and a slanted desk) Well, anyway, here is Grand Titan at home on my dresser (as seen in my Giant Zamor blog, check it out) I hope to exchange Stealth Hunter for Takeshi's next battle maching early next year. But I don't have a receit, so should I return it now or wait a month? (serously, I would like some advice) Other Secret Santa gifts (to others) were SpaceBalls and fancy Chocolate. -CF

I need a volunteer. A couple perhaps, and someone that knows how and wants to send an email to BZPower news. And perhaps a non staff member, just so some regular members can get some credit. I can't tell you what it is all about, but I mentioned news and this is in my Lego category, so... WHO WANTS TO VOLUNTEER!?!?! -CF Thanx to all who volunteered! (Sorry, Arpy, but you jumped on the bandwagon a little too late, but thanx anyway) What I wanted was someone to report that I had uploaded Piraka Fusion instructions (because I thought if I did, the staff would want me to just make a topic) Well, what are you waiting for, Check it out here! -CF

Selling MOCs. It's an idea I've had, not exactly bouncing around, but fermenting for a while. Artists sell their works. MOCs can be considered art. But what exactly is a MOC worth? To the builder, the sentimental value of a MOC whose total value of parts is quite modest can be through the roof and the notion of parting with it forever be unconscionable. And who would buy a MOC? That kinda takes all the fun out of Lego, doesn't it, buying a ready-built creation? But maybe someone out there is willing to pay good money for such things. There are free-lance professional Lego builders who work on commission... but they're way out of my league, and they don't touch Bionicle. It would appear that the outlook for this brainchild of mine as a money-making venture is not exactly bright and shiny. I've also been entertaining the thought of getting rid of my Lego bricks completely. The idea of shipping them out in the form of art works (MOCs) has a certain appeal. If I ever do start trimming down my collection, that will be one of the first ways I'll do it. Selling, giving as gifts, donating as prizes, whatever. To me, being the cause of someone else's joy and pleasure is as good as any money. And the money I spent on the bricks in the first place? Water under the bridge. I got my money's worth already, believe me. And if nothing else, the loss will be a well-deserved reminder of the folly of careless spending, of which I am most guilty. Understand that this is all, of course, at the hypothetical stage. Dream-stuff. In the real world, I'm still as incurable a MOCist as ever. I only ever want more Lego and more Lego, and the only limiting factors are my financial constraints and my better judgement, both of which have actually increased greatly since the heady, employment and fandom -fueled times of 2004. (You can witness the record of my Bionicle habit by scrolling down on the right to the content block titled, "How Embarrassing!") More and more, I hear the voice that says I have enough, and truth be told, too much already. But doggedly unwilling to pass on is the voice that says just these few more sets and my building possibilities will open up even further... Alas, my heart, shall I ever find peace? But verily, all this shall once pass away. All is vanity. Seek that which is eternal. For plastic, even such multivaried, colourful, and fun plastic as Lego, is merely of this time. -BC

So I built something (actually a while back) and no one has seen it unless you've been in my room lately. what is it? I'll post it soon, but for now I'll tell you its name: Sumorahk Enjoy! -CF

So I got this in my email today: There is a cool logo on the web site. Funny thing is I'm not an AFOL (I'm 16) I expect that Omi, KIE, Binky, Cajun, and any other AFOLs and anyone at Brickfest would have gotten this, too. Sounds pretty cool. Wish I could go. But I'll still be promoting it! Is anyone going? -CF

A question. 100 points to whoever gets it. According to Alen Bedford, how tall is the Minifig in his world? (in feet) -CF

Well, I don't feel like saying much at the time, but I will be doing some posts about the barraki. There have been some commplaints, so I will make my first comment on this: I like the nuva leg in the white one's set. (sorry, don't know names yet) For some, this is a new piece, or at least they don't have it yet, if they are new. Also, I've been thining about a nuva leg as a arm for a while now, and wouldn't mind it in some different colors. Some call it unoriginal, I call it using resources and being different. It's not like each set comes with five of them. What I don't like is the black legs on him. I would really like to have rahkshi legs in each color. but here is lego not making any white. (don't think I'm flaming lego, they are great, I just want some variety) Well, that's my 2 cents now. I'll do more on other sets later. -CF note: if you disagree with me, please don't flame and please post an organized opinion.

That's the number on my post count. I know many of you don't feel that is so awesome, but hey, I believe in making my posts count, not caring about my post count. (I also have little time...) So, I noticed that. I'm also "soaring champion" and have all six kanohi colored in! I need to get a rank/sub name thing that says "Piraka Fusionist" or somthing... -CF

So, I got Inferno today! (Bionicle Legends #5) Where? Barnes and Noble along Route 50 in Northern Virginia (The one near Home Depot and Shoppers) Well, I'm only on chapter 3, but it's great. I enourage you all to find it and buy it and read it ASAP. So far, Axonn and Brutaka have had a big battle, the Piraka have faced Irnakk, and I have read the quote we knew a while back. Well, I don't think it would be wise to post spoilers, but you can ask me about the book. I'll post a non spoiler review in the book topic, and maybe I'll write an actual review once I get permission to write an actual review for #4. (bonesii, if you are reading this, when is that OK?) -CF

So, I made this topic yesterday. Please check out my latest posted MOC. Like it? Post there and/or here. A Bump in the Night The Topic explains all. -CF

So I was talking with my brother and we thought that LEGO should make soem X-men sets. They have done Spiderman and Batman, so why not? It wouldn't be to hard either, on LEGO's part. Set ideas: The X-JetPart of the MansionCity battle with police carsCerebro Minifig Ideas: Cyclops (minifig head contains visor)Wolverine (New piece for hands: holds and has claws)Storm (With cape)Professor Xavier (with wheelchair actually built from pieces)Nightcrawler (tail might be kind of hard...)Jean GreyMagneto (with cape and helmet)Mystiqe (sp)Juggernaut (big helmet) And the sets have various arrangements of good guys and bad guys depending on the set. So, what do you think? Any ideas? -CF

Okay, I promise, this is the last time I'll talk about Kardas dragon. Especially now that he's safetly secured and standing proudly on display in my room back home. Overall, it took about 2 hours or so to put Kardas together. Most of this was spent digging for the smaller joints, and I was partially distracted by the Friday the 13th marathon on Bravo. But never once was it frustrating or overly difficult. In fact, building Kardas got me to start wondering how a combiner model is designed. Unlike the last combiner I bought (Ultimate Dume), Kardas doesn't look like three sets being forced together. The colors blend well, and the pieces work together to make it look like a dragon. The wings, feet, arms, head... all of it look like this set wasn't just thrown together to use the three sets. I'd almost question if Kardas was built first. Vezon is my favorite Piraka. I've got the three that came in the Irnakk bundle, and I have to say that Vezon definately stands out amongst the four. His staff, cape, and use of silver give him a fierce skeletal look that just appears more menacing than the other Piraka. Kardas himself is fantastic. His sheer size makes the set worth buying, but he's also more playable than I had originally thought. He has a decent amount of joints, and can balance in most poses I've put him in. As a tip, his tail can be set up to help balance (much like a real dragon, an added bonus). Overall, he's definately worth $50. Even if you aren't a fan of Kardas...he's still worth buying as you essentially get one of the two $20 Titans for free. So he's both evil and economical!

Online on saturday morning, I got an anoying board message. But Binky or somebody has made them a teeny bit bearable with those random, crazy messages. I love them, as I love random quotes. Well, this particular morning I got this message: "Don’t you have some homework to do?" Got me laughing, and thinking. I probably should do my homework. But, hey, being online is more fun. -CF

It was ironic that only yesterday I had been looking back and wondering when the heck I'd have something worth posting in the Bionicle category here at the Haven. I had all but given up hope on seeing the actual Kardas giftset, and recently it seems as though the Titans were purposefully attempting to elude my grasp. But yesterday, by a sheer stroke of luck, I saw it. I was at the mall late last night for a showing of "Man Of The Year" and stopped into Target out of sheer boredom. There, at the end of the LEGO isle, sat four Kardas boxes. I almost laughed out loud right there in the store. Unfortunately the movie was about to start, the store was about to close, and I was unwilling to haul the set into the theater with me. So I stopped back this morning before class and grabbed one, and now I'm extatic. The set costs only $50, which essentially means you're getting one of the three titans (either Brutaka or Axonn) for free. Because of a loaded schedule this week, I most likely won't be able to actually build it until this weekend. But I'm just happy to know that he's arrived, and that I've found it.

So Brickmaster set came today! I'll do a review on it later, just because I can. (It has, say, 20 pieces) Anyway, I have a pic! I'm calling it "Wipe-out Wizard" because whenever I send it zooming across the floor, it ends up flipping over. It has some sweet pieces in it I'd love to use. (except in blue and yellow. Oh well, I might find a use) I'm thinking about making a small space ship out of it, putting a magnetic brick on the bottom, and putting it in my locker. -CF

You know what the good part is of having an entry like this? When you have absolutely nothing to tell, you can always use this as a back-up. So, the interesting find today is...: The Ferrari 158 by Brickshelf member Jerrec. I like the pseudo-suspension on it, and the mix of Technic and System. Not too sure about those grey beams sticking out in the back, and perhaps he could've added some custom deals or something to spice up the sides. The black wheels add a nice race-y touch Overall, a well made MOC. -|IXI
