Thanks guys! 43, going on 12. Breakfast, Brickfest and ToysRUs... Sounds like a good way to spend a Sunday!

Impulse buys you ask??

always!


These were just too fething hilarious NOT to get!


This guy, with his trench shotgun, standard trench knife, baseball grenades, and muscles is my new all-time favorite minifig!

He has a custom duster, Pump Shotgun and shell!






The Show itself was small, but GREAT!
Here you can see the whole album

Is there any other type?

Happy b'day LadyGeek, good choice of entertainment

Looks like a suprisingly small swag bag for you Dave That cowboy and GI are damn cool!

Great looking displays, love the grey blood splats on the zombie apoc

Heh That splat is a custom=made element they do, I also got a "wasteland drifter" gear set, I just need to dig up/sacrifice some older minifig to use

is that figure wearing a "pleather" coat?

It's the fabric they use for flags, cloaks, and capes at LEGO.

Fair enough... I remember as a Kid they were all moulded plastic lols

oh and Dave... I give you the Imperial Lightning II:



From gamesday UK

Oh, that is just screaming to be looted

and from a different angle:




your going to pay FW prices to loot it? ARE YOU MENTALLY DIFFICIENT? I jest lols...

Oh WOW! That is a LOT cooler than the old Lightning!
Ladygeek doesn't need much more of a Christmas hint than that!!

haha, fair enough, it seems more in line with the Avenger strike fighter... I need me a woman to buy me things

P.s. is that the gun from Gears of war in that first image?

I don't know what gun it's for, I liked the Shotgun look best here

Yeah the shotguns nice, and oddly correct for a miniature toy version... But I really like the Bow and Arrow set with its clip for extras. and that weird circular saw axe thing is interesting... Mayhaps have to steal that idea for a 40k weapon

cool...so much awesome lego!!!

hi ladygeek!!! how are ye doing... now that you are a year older well since we all are used to see and accept that the suply drops we see are dave´s ...what did YOU get for your birthday???

at dave... that trencher... very cool... and that custom mini? looks like a mix of many PC games characters to me... and cool again...a kurikhi knife... now you can invite milla jovovich for z´hunting...^^

the zombie hunters by the way will loose... they are way too bunched together to stand a chance against that horde...even if they are only lurchers and shamblers and not runners that they are facing...

Thanks Vic! I got a lovely dinner at the pub (prime rib!!), a metal dwarven flame cannon (which scares me a bit...still trying to figure out plastic bits), 11 series 8 mini figs, an extra Gimli for my desk at work, a zombie microfig.... All in all, a good haul!

lol... you still owe us the dwarven thread of yours

i have lots of metal mins and models at home... but plastic still is more close to me... the hunched up and twisted models made from metal still hold lots of terror and painting errors for me too^^... tho i want to break that chain for me atm with my new project... gotta paint 10 mins made purley from metal...corss fingers for me^^

and ... are you allowed to have such stuff on your desk at work... i always thought american offices are so totally thought through that all prsonality is shunned ...

and that meal sounds tasty^^

You just showed some of the coolest lego stuff ever, the citizens are hilarious, the army and cowboy are awesome, zombies are always cool in lego.. and hoth was cool as well

Holy crap thats delicious! Im going to set my scratch building sights on that lightning ii next i think

Botany enthusiast is my fav. I like his plant matter sampling device/bong.

I very rarely read what you guys waffle on about but today I did and was rewarded with the bra under-wire sketch. Hilarity! I will remember you lot the next time I pull one of those things out. Maybe von dom could use them as internal struts for airship mark II?

Happy birthday LadyGeek hope Dave treated you very well and spoilt you rotten

Dave will you stop showing me all this cool stuff, I cant afford a new hobby or collection

The set piece's are amazing love the zombie set and the Kiss hilarious.

oh yeah totally forgott about the kiss concert...like the could have been another instantly recognizable band concert^^


and weety... good idea... tho my wife doesn´t use up them bras too often... make of that what you want

Thanks Weety! The water pipe and his face print are my favorite parts
@Vit - I'd like to see that scratchbuild for sure!
@LDD- wtf are you talking about? You have Kit almost exclusively working on your own pet projects!
@Vik The KISS concert was prety cool

For a bit I thought you had brought an absolute gak ton with that post. At about this part.

That Lightning II is also quite nice.

dont encourage dave... he might go insane and order at brickworld an insane amount of lego minis^^

Vik The KISS concert was prety cool

that sentence would work everytime every day of the week at all hours

I think the Avenger and Lightning II are a rip-off of the Deck Fighters from 'The Last Starfighter'. I also think that the loss of the forward-swept wing design was a mistake. Really, it just looks like the top half of the original Lighting welded onto the bottom half of an Avenger.

tl;dr: MEH.

</gripe>

I was gonna make a joke about being old and grumpy and bitter,...but I dozed off mumbling curses to the dmmn kids on the lawn myself

No such thing as an original Idea tbh... anyways the Avenger reminds me of the light-jet from Tron: Legacy

Well thankfully I'm young enough to call you both misserable old bathplugs

1 For the benefit of others to enjoy as well
2 That project is going to eat a hell of a lot of funds, hence I cant collect anything else

To be fair most models take inspiration from other designs and creations, originality runs thin once every thing exists.

Although I kind of like the models my self

AWWWWWWWWWW
