    Peppermint is my favourite sweet, flavouring and scent. the M is for Minty or Mecha, mecha is the genre of anime I am most fond of and Minty is the nickname my friend gave me due to my hard to shorten name and lack of words that rhym with my name. It came from my love of mints and the fact that my screen name on most websites involves mints somewhere.

    So many post-apocalego seems to focus on the humans, the fighting and the rebuilding.

    This MOC is for the forgotten.

    A story for the robot is written on the MOC page, please read it and you'll understand the MOC.

    Thank you for your time.

    I take it the planet zi is generally bellow zero then?

    Well the "real" Planet Zi is mainly desert... However my loft (where my LEGO was sent when my room was downsized) has no heating or insulation on the roof. The ceilings have insulation, so very little heat gets in. After about an hour you can feel the cold biting and you can't feel your toes and fingers. Spring and Autumn are the best times as Summer is stiflingly hot and Winter is numbingly cold.

    Other pet peeves: "legos", stupid people who blindly believe what the papers tell them ("Oh, did you hear that LEGO are making terrorist sets now?" actually heard said in all sincerity...)

    OK, when I was younger and my LEGO lived in my room I built with my sister, we'd make town plans and roleplay little stories. I would sometimes have a building contest with my other brother and his friend (to prove it isn't just the parts that make the MOC) and have castle battles with LEGO built seige weapons.

    But as I said in my earlier post I mostly build on my own. Once in a while I build with my little brother (He is a fantastic builder) or my friend and sister come in the loft and play with my minifigs while I build.

    You want Disney LEGO?

    The only thing that Mega Blox ever had that I wanted (now I have the money for LEGO) was Gundam, and I've not heard a thing about any sets since I heard the rumour that MB had mecha to compete with Exoforce.

    Like I said, there is worse out there, and I still use the skateboards, ramps and rather nice looking steel girder supports I had from an old skate park set I bought about six years ago. The baseplates that came with it are usefull too.

    If you don't like it, don't buy it. LEGO lost the court case for copyright on the functional design of the brick last month. The tried to sue and failed as this article states Here.

    My first MOCs were built in school at age 5, to the envy of all the boys :P. I made a jet (it was very blocky) called The Crow, as it was all black with a yellow slope/invert for the beak and a clear brick for the eyes. I should really rebuild it at some point. Another was a massive bi-plane from duplo. Alas no pictures survive.

    I also like a few random tracks from other bands, but not enough to say I like the band.

    I use it for filler. Like one uses old paper when packing away MOCs to be moved around in boxes.

    You think Megablox are bad? I found something in a Pound Shop that is worse. :P

    I also use megablox as mod-fodder, so as not to use high quality LEGO bricks for cutting.

    Well, I'm from Wales and my favourite theme is Adventurers, but Alpha Team (before Cam disappeared) and Rock Raiders are close seconds. I really don't like the LEGO Star Wars theme since it went flesh tone and the fact that 75% of the fan community I come across are super Star Wars centric.

    My favourite MOC themes are Steampunk, Dieselpunk and SF style mecha and space fighter ships. Things from anime and such are also my MOC themes when I want to build to a strict specification.

    I'm currently studying on a day realease basis to be a civil engineer.

    *End Communication* =D

    Hello, I'm new (fancy, after all this is my first post in the introductions page...) I have been playing with Lego for more than half my life and I spend more on Lego than I do on anything else. (Apart from books...maybe) I have an account on MOC pages under the same name.

    This is my first attempt at being a member of any LUG.

    That is all. Thank you for reading.
