Haha Brian GMTA

Dave did Brian ninja you ? Or did you accidentally post the same link . I have no problem with the series, just that video is stuck in my head now, and no matter how serious he's being on screen, all I can hunk about is him breaking into songs about hobbits.

Sulu remember your training, you might be freezing on that planet, and the transporters no working, and the dog dressed as a fuzzy nicorn just died, but just remember "...bilbo baggins"

Haha

See Brian, Mr. Stay-Puft paints his figures that way too!

Hence why my best stories seem to be about vasily and the gang

Brick Drop!

LEGO sent some freebies too

That X-wing looks very nice, you will have to convince me on the LR stuff though

It's a Train with a gatling gun..and a Stagecoach with Union Soldiers! WTF else do you want?

The Eagles are Ladygeek's (for Hobbit Eagles), and the Police are freebies to add to the bolstering of my city's already oppressive police force
Chima..another freebie..I dunno about that IP...I don't forsee it lasting very long, they should go back to their original IPs that sell IMHO, like classic Pirates!

as you can see, these are Army Builder Packs first and foremost

Complete Artillery crews
And I'm very excited that the old-skool spring-loaded guns are back!!

Dave your making my fantasy of a Lego f-troop set more realistic. Must resist urge to order tons of Lego, sons birthday is well passed and mines not or a few months.

Thankfully, Ladygeek doesn't believe a special occasion is needed for new LEGO
Thanks to you Theo, I'm watching animated GI Joe on netflix and feeling like a kid today

Nice haul of "alternative" plastic fun you got there. With freebies...
When I saw those cannons I thought to myself "I wonder if they still work" and then read that they do. Good.

I see now a lego guard army, the rough riders are great lol

The kids and I will be over Saturday morning to help with the Legos. I'll bring the dunkin donuts and coffee .

free stuff from lego??? wtf....seriously?

the new chima stuff is kinda lame if you ask me... my kids still like them but the only thing i see in chima stuff is how to create ancient lightsabres for the really old jedi to fight against exar kun

and hopefully you soon show us that gatling gun done^^

and yep... you never feel as much as a small kid again when you fire a brick gun... i loved taking peashots at my own bricksoldiers back then...


by the way....that really tiny package just left from the train set.... what´s that supposed to contain???

That's a nice train as well.

Haha Ladygeek couldn't find the salt shaker, so she saw these LEGO salt & Pepper shaker set and had to get them. They are really cool!
Yep Vik, they usually have freebies for the VIP card members, the CHima stuff was unexpected and unadvertised. I'll send that and the cops onto work with Ladygeek for a friend who has a little boy I'm keeping the Han Solo Hoth minifig- He's already mounted properly on a Taun-Taun He was the May the Fourth special giveaway.

Not mine, but this is for ye naysayers of the Lone Ranger stuff


I guess when the power functions bits are put into the modified coal tender, it is top heavy, which causes the derailments when going too fast around curves, but this German guy modified a Toy Story 3 wagon to hold the battery box and PF bits for the motive power.
I have no idea what the song is about (in German) but it's a great Acoustic tune.

In other news.....
Two New vehicles are now in the garage!

Need to rivet a basket to the front of the bike to take jujubean for rides . Just saw previews for the steam punk line of legos . Video was great, but I was let own when he had or train vs. other train, I was hoping for head on crash an Lego carnage

nice bikes... aren´t these rather meant for teen

as for the song... it is a lament I think... lamenting about general stuff to lament about

and I think the lone ranger train set exceeds the other train sets by far... graven posted just the other day a link to some lego news that they present in july a steampunk range... no wonder really... as with their ghost hunter stuff and such sets like the lone ranger kit I think they already went there ...

No, they are quite adult Vik, they are cruiser bikes, very comfortable, upright-sitting, flat-foot, aluminum frame bikes. And a the price, no one in their right mind would buy one for a teen

Theo, Bean is already too big for a basket, besides, with her endless well of energy, she can run next to the bikes with little effort

Who can deny? Steampunk has appeal!

well reading how much you talk about beanies energy... i bet you NEED the bikes for a walky^^

Yeah, it'll take a bit of training for her. Right now walks are an undisciplined affair for her, her nose is always to the ground, tracking who knows how many different new and exciting scents, she gets so excited for the hunt, if we can keep her from crossing the wheels, she will definitely be a bike-running dog, besides there is an amazing network of trails around here, called the Rivergreenway that we'd all like to explore.

when we were kids... my sis and me... we had a bigger dog... a mongrel for sure... and one day he was that exited he carried my sis and me both after him with his leash...we then got pulled over the street floor by his power^^ (note... we were around 6 and 8 years old... and it was snowy^^)

When I was a kid, I had a German Shepherd/Husky mix dog, he would run next to me on my bike for miles and miles without a leash, but living in the city now, that would be a no-no for sure

well with german shepherds you gotta stay on your toes anyway... they are a rather bitey breed... much more than stephords and the likes...
