2012 SW preview

I'm stoked. TLG is making more Lego Star Wars battle packs. I hope they will continue to sell them for $11.99 each and not more. i feel sorry for the ppl that paid more then it was worth just to get the Bariss Offee fig in the Swamp Speeder set (8091). Unless of course, they liked the design of the speeder, in which case, great for you guys. =) **wink wink**

They are remaking the X-wing, as they have discontinued it time and again. a friend of a friend, Will, said they he would pick up an X-wing if they started to produce them again. guess he has to pick one up then! There is also a new TIE fighter. Its a maybe purchase for me, but only because it comes with 4 minifigs, and one of them is a droid.

Anticipating this set.

Comes with specific stormtroopers.....you know what that means.... =]

Evolution of Scaly Man

My version of the evolution chart. If mammals came after reptiles roamed the earth for millions of years, wont it be possible that a croc to walk on two legs, and retain armored skin and instincts?

now sure if he'd be a hoot with the ladies tho!

Hike to Dawn Mine

Over the weekend, me and some friends decided to try the hike to the Dawn Mine. The hike took a little bit longer then i thought it would, due to some slight cautions we were taking.

The hike took a total of nearly 6 hours, altho the way back took only 2 hours. we were lucky, as the sun starting to move down, we were only lost on the way back for a mere 20 minutes. still....it was rather scary.

the stream led the hike's trail from the lot to the mine. in this comparison, our adventurer had to cross a much wider river.

Black and Gold

Recently picked up a newer GShock. I have had a pair of black high tops with gold accents for a while now. it goes with some shirts and jackets....but i thought, "hey a wrist watch would be nice too."

And here it is, the new Mudman. I've only had it for a few days...but i'm hoping it holds up better or as well as the GX56 series. i dont see any "extra" shock protection that the GX56's have, but it maintains the Solar Function, and adds a moon phase and compass feature to it.

i wasn't going for a specific culture when i got it, i just wanted it to match...but apparently with Lego elements, its very "hip hop" ish.

Pirates 4DISC box set with mini Black Pearl

Zounds! too bad i already have the 4 movies on individual DVD boxes. this box set comes with the black pearl in Lego. from the looks of it, its not too hard to build on my own. but i DID stop to look at the box and offer...

Black Pearl

Wow.. the picture on my last post recieved 94 views in the first 20 minutes after it was posted.

anyways, on to the good stuff. =]

The Black Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbean was released today in stores for my area (officially, it was released this past sunday....). i've already bought mine. and have yet to build it. i am determined to finish the gunship (7676) first before any other sets....it looks like i am already being sidetracked by the sith nightspeeder (7957) and have already assembled the minifigs.. -_- (at least i finished the M. Falcon.. i was a lil disappointed that the airlocks didnt actually 'go through' the ship, but was just for show.)

i have known about the Black Pearl for a while now, the set itself doesn't look all too impressive, but for those of us... that LOVE Pirates of the Caribbean, despite bad reviews, will get the ship anyways. There is a flying dutchman coming out next year, (cough cough) but for now, i will have only Davy Jones to enjoy with this set. at least this means i no longer have to use a kitt fisto minifig for my POTC creations. why does it even come with this set? well, the flying dutchman will have an EVEN spookier captain.

An Inspiration

For some, their role models are athletes and music artists. For me, it was this guy. To me, he was the da Vinci of our time. I've had this lil minifig of him ontop of my computer along with my kozik bunny, kid robot figure, and jawa. i'd like to share him with the rest of the world. He also started Pixar. Where ever he has gone now, God bless.
