Lego Galaxy Sqaud

It's starting to get REALLY obvious to me that i'm never interested in one thing for too long.  This is a really good example:  only a few days ago I thought nothing would stand in between me and lego star wars, but I was wrong!  I just found out about a new line of Legos called Galaxy Squad, and it is insanely, extremely, totally AWESOME!!!  It says it will come out in 2013, but as usual it should come out early for Christmas (I know that through experience!).  I find this a little hard to say, but it's way cooler than Mars Mission!


   UPDATE!!!    whoa whoa whoa!!!  what did I just say!?!

The 40th Post!!!

Guess what?  THIS IS MY 40TH POST!!!  I can't believe it!  There was just those first few posts back in 2009 but now there's 40!  Thanks to all the readers helping me get this far!  Also thank you for all of the great comments!

  I really don't have any plans for the future, just sticking to the usual!  If I could wait I would wait till my 50th post but I couldn't help myself!  This is super exciting,

Lego UCS Sandcrawler

Although most of y'all already know about the upcoming Sandcrawler, I would like to make this official to everyone...  I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SANDCRAWLER TO COME OUT!!!
There is this LEGO website called LEGO CUUSOO where you post you're LEGO creations + if they get 10,000 votes - LEGO will make it into a real set!!!  While I was checking out the sets that won enough votes, I found this awesome LEGO Sandcrawler!!!  I got hypnotized while looking @ the pictures.  But later when I saw the video it got worse!!  Based on the video, it looks like the entire set can be controlled with a remote control!  The mouth opens and the claw can be dropped down.   The claw can even bring stuff to a working conveyer belt!  It should come out in a few months, + if it does I hope I can afford it!

 P.S. When it comes out I hope its the same size as the original model!

Finally..... 2

OK, I know its been the 4th post about this, stuff but I couldn't resist doing it!  As you can see, this is a republic trooper set + it looks AWESOME!!!  I can't say it's cooler than the last set, but I can easily say the minifigs are way cooler!  The republic troopers are a total longshot from my original (as in way more accurate)!  The sith troopers are really cool as well!  I'm really excited about this Lego set!  I can't wait to get it!

The Hexbug Craze

Pretty recently Me + Olive got these robotic bugs called Hexbugs!               Heres a collection of photos I found: 

                                                  My Hexbug                                                                                               

    

 Hexbug Warriors  

 

Other Hexbugs

Hexbug Habitat Set

Currently the only people besides us who have Hexbugs are Avery + Henry!   

Avery has the Hexbug Warriors which are designed to fight each other.   That gave me the idea to upgrade my normal Hexbug to fight other Hexbugs.

I decided I could use salvaged parts to make weapons + armor.

Im looking forward to doing it!

Finally......

Remember one of my posts about republic troopers? And another post where I wrote about how I found out that LEGO was making a republic trooper set?  Well I have to say I just got one!!!!!!!!!  Here's how it happened...  I was on vacation in Houston, and as usual we went to the toy store.  I wanted to get a toy MechaGodzilla but I couldn't find anything good enough. After a while of searching Momma said she would give me some extra money to help me get the Lego Striker Class Starfighter!!!!!!!!  The set includes Satile Shan (a Jedi), a little droid and the republic trooper.  Although the minifigs are really cool - the set is cool as well!  It looks really similar to an X-wing and its wing's can fold in!  I like everything, except the fact that the republic trooper doesn't have a helmet!

UPDATE!!! Around christmas time, LEGO will be making a republic trooper set that comes with helmets!!!  i can't wait!

Robotic Return!

 

                                                                                                                                                                                                    For a long time my "lego army" has not had a lego army!  @ least not since the invincible robots.  That was when I figured out that it would be awesome if I rebuilt my invincible robot army!  Currently I have 4 or 5 robots but I would like to have a lot like I used to have!               P.S.  I going to start now!

The Scary Maze Game!!

                                                           This picture I made is an image of the

      -                                                    scary maze game [DA... DA... DA...!!!]

                                                           The scary maze game is one of my 

                                                           favorite games, but DO NOT google 

                                                           it!!!  

                                                           You do not know what will happen!!!

                                                           

                                                           

                                                           

What Now?

If any of ya'll remember the crazy lego battles me + Avo-face (Yes, I call him that!) had with Emile + Olive, I would have to tell you...... it is looooooooong over!  I mean it's kinda nice to have almost everything intact right now but I really miss all the action!  Sadly, after all this time something worse than a rival army has taken over!  It's called: BOREDOM!  Hopefully there should be some kind of battlefront that awaits us!                                                                                              
P.S.  If there is another war, I hope it will be LEGOs V.S. LEGOs!!!!

The Arena #2!

       

my arena

 

trophies

       

the judges' stand

the monster truck ramp

the audience

        ads on the arena walls:  my blog + carnivores video game!!!

      

ad for the band "the troopers"

When I was building the death star I had a table in my room to build on.  Once I was done with the death star the table got kinda messy.  After cleaning it up, it was time to leave for christmas and once we got back it got super messy!  After I finally cleaned it up, I decided I wanted to keep the table in my room so I could build legos on it.  

It was a good idea, but it felt incomplete. So I decided to create a brand new arena on my table!!!  My arena currently hosts a monster truck show with a lego dino monster truck!  I have three ads on the arena walls: The Troopers (lego band), Carnivores X (video game me and my friends want to make) + my blog!  I also have three trophies in the arena.  So you can imagine that I had to add 2 guards @ the door!  My arena has a huge audience (inspired by Avery's old arena) complete with R2-D2 serving drinks! A new addition is the judge's stand!  Well that's about all I have to say, but I must tell you that the monster truck is incomplete! So i still have work to do!!!                    (comments please!)

Godzilla cards!

Not long ago I figured that it would be really cool if I made super powerful Godzilla Pokemon cards!!!  They should turn out really cool!                                P.S. Should godzilla be water or fire?  

The Bridge

A while ago I thought that it would be cool if I built a giant lego bridge that connects my base (a new base) + the death star!!  At first I made a skinny version of it, but I soon realized that minifigs really don't fit that good.  After tearing that version apart I made another one that was the perfect size!  Although my bridge was pretty sturdy I knew I would have to add somthing to keep it up.  All my ideas seemed pretty impossible till one really good idea popped up...  So me + mom were hanging this lego dino set from the ceiling when I got the idea to use strings from the ceiling to hold up the bridge!!!  Whenever I complete it I will have an AWESOME touch to my lego collection!                                                                     (comments please!)                                                                      

The Power Miners strike back!

            
                                                                                                                                                       

Right now I seem to be into Power Miners once again.  OK, Ive always liked Power Miners + Firax (the rock monster above) has always been one of my faves.  But I have never tried to rebuild any of the sets.  That's why I'm trying to rebuild the sets!  I'm starting with the thunder driller (above) + I hope that 1 day I could rebuild the crystal sweeper!!!

Oragami!

I just finished reading the Origami Yoda books.  I thought they were awesome!  A while ago Avery introduced me to the books (thanks, avery!!!).  After reading Darth Paper Strikes Back I remembered the instructions on how to make an Origami lightsaber.  I decided I wanted to make a lot of them!   I ended up making tons of them - including a double bladed lightsaber!  So I made a million and I ended up making Olive an Origami Yoda with the instructions provided with the book and I realized how easy it was!!!  Since I started the origami, I've been obsessed (and Olive, too) with it!  The Origami characters I've made include: Yoda, Chewbacca, a clone trooper, R2-D2, Darth Vader and General Grevous!  Last night I made about 7 Yodas that I could give away to people and my new plan is to give everyone I know an Origami Yoda (MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!)!  

Rattlecopter Review

Not to long ago we got the Rattlecopter in houston!!!   The Rattlecopter features Kai, Lloyd Garmadon + Fang-Suei!   It also features 4 flick fire missiles and to mini snakes that drop out of the ship!   Also included     are the golden Fangpyre staff, Kai's jet pack, The Thunderbolt (Lloyd's weapon) and Kai's twin daggers!             For more info visit LEGO.com.

Do you remember my republic trooper post?   Well if you do - i guess my wish came true!   Heres how it happened.........   So I was reading Smashing Bricks (this lego blog) and I saw this one post with a few pics including this one above (I think so!).   I nearly had a heart attack!  The post said they'll have this set in summer along with this republic trooper!   I cant Wait!                                                    

                                               P.S, I hope he has a helmet!
