Taxes.... no $$$ for new sets...-_- (avengers & s7s)

these guys are out! its a bit steep for what i'm getting... and wolverine is a nice addition to have. altho, i am ecstatic about having a deadpool and a magneto figure soon....hmmm wonder which set will have the black widow figure? (they are currently showing three sets, one with steve rogers, one with logan, wade, and erick, and one with hulk, hawkeye (?), and loki) i'm noting that they have not brought any mention of the sets that will contain tony, sasha, and dr blake)


lastly, i got this in an email. i dont know if thats alot of sets sold or not, mostly because my own pile from that year alone towers over 24 ft high easily. and the local LS sells ALOT of Lego sets. easily 600k-2 million worth in a month. are they referring to my LLS or statewide, or nationwide, or worldwide or what? where do they get these statistics from?

(as mentioned... series 7 is out. i'm not going to rush. i'm going to wait a month before i pick mine up this time around.)

DC Universe was OK. Avengers look Better!

yes... the previous post was a joke. =D altho those figs should be coming soon.


these figs however, are NOT a joke, and are coming soon to a toys store, target, or Lego store near you. there's alot of chatter about how iron man's helmet is too big for him, but how else would TLG be able to make a moving visor for tony stark? if the helmet is made to show his face... why isnt there a suit for him to remove, and why is steve roger's mask stuck to his face? where are the trademark ears on the side of his head? side note... black window... that hairpiece looks like the new standard for all the pretty ladies (eg serena, hawaiian girl, and dr. pamela lillian Isley).

series 7. nice.

and they are out already? i had barely finished my fix of series 6...

almost every figure has a large piece in it, so that they can no longer be felt like the minotaur in the last series or radioactive suit guy. the sea king has no feet, and a triton, the lil red riding hood has tiny feet. i dont recall enjoying any of the minifigs with short feet. this one i DO like. the bagpipes are the most interesting hand held accessory to date, and to hold it in likable varies positions, the hands must be turned around several times.

and just like the pot of gold guy from last series was perfect for st patty's day... there's a bunny suit guy ready for easter... he reminds me of the winnie the pooh keychains they have in the slotted machines at the japanese supermarkets. i'm already ready to paint one grey... and add some ninjago items on it ...so to speak. =D

Still kickin' + series 6 guide

kind of, but didnt drop off the map. i've been busy... but still doing the Lego thing. now old news...but aside from the LOTR sets to come, TLG has also decided to come out with avengers and such sets. here is the link for good pics of the marvel minifigs. i'm glad to say that they do have a black widow minifig...but she comes with the blackbird. yet another aircraft i dont need in my collection. hope it has some cool stuff that makes it worthwhile as my favorite spacecrafts so far ( slave 1, M. falcon, agents copter (8971) ).

series 6 minifigs.. too many have i picked up already. and yet i still need more! hee hee hee! =D
here's my way of "feeling the packages" to know whats what.

ALIEN- his head is pear shaped, there is a rod as well
HIGHLANDER- has a round shield, but usually i feel the tobogan shaped hairpiece
SLEEPY- the bear doesnt seem like a bear, but more like a chest piece. his hair is prickly
LIBERTY STATUE- blocky feet, telescope, and hairpiece is bendy
BANDIT- fedora, his bandana is unique in this series
FLAMENCO DANCER- block feet as well, hair piece similar to ice skater in series 4
ROBOT- box for head
MINOTAUR- largest one piece for the torso/head combo. easy as finding radioactive guy in series 4
POT OF GOLD SHORTY- short feet. top hat. the pot of gold feels like an acorn
ROMAN- square ish shield, bendy spear, gap in helmet
SURGEON- shower cap feels like a ridged bowl, square 2x2 smooth piece
PUNK SKATER- large board with curved edges
PINK RANGER- helmet with sinkable gap, hair piece just like aerobic dancer in series 5
BUTCHER- has cap like the guys at in n out. hard to miss steak with bone nubs on one end
MECHANIC- tool box, wrench has a gap where it can click onto other poles
GENIE- unique legs piece. turban is a bubble with a notch in it.

Happy Love Day! (2012)

Yep, some guys are just THAT clueless. At least she got some big diamonds...

mid to late 2012 sets

they're making a jabba's palace! but not out until christmas this year. =[ it will come with ten minifigs, a more detailed multi-colored jabba, and have a new twilek (aside from ayla).



new monster fighters minifigs! i like the swamp monster. the rest are very normal as Lego minifigs go. crossbows on hunters, and the monsters are mummies, ghosts (new blanket), vampires (and vampresses), werewolf, and frankensteins. no zombies to be seen tho, i could use some more of those. there will be a ghost train...i wonder if that can be modified and made space to run on tracks? the count's castle will have spiral staircase and even a trapdoor that opens onto a pit of spikes.



new ninjago sets... i see an airship, a samurai mech, and even a 4 headed dragon. i didnt like the early ninjago sets...but they seem to have gotten better over time. i will pick up a mecha samurai suit to battle lex luther in his power suit. =]

Jack Sparrow in Wonderland

Where is Alice today?
Its time for a tea party!
SHE is going to be late!
...and what's this? NOT tea, but rum?

"rum not gone? NOW THAT'S MY wonderland."
