If you want some pics, there're some here. :-) EDIT: Just looking at some MP Megs pics today, and wow! He looks great. Menacing, yet stylish. I like how the trigger folds into the leg. The Energon weapons are a nice touch too.

Oh, that was it. Thanks! :-) I tell you what was good- Mr. Benn. You know, the one where he went into a costume shop, and disappeared out of the other side of the changing room to an adventure. Aparantly though, when I was really young I was a fan of Thomas the Tank Engine. Ah, good memories... And Fireman Sam. That was good. Then again, we do share a name. Sam, not fireman. ;-)

I don't have dreams solely about Lego. But I do occasionally have dreams that feature Lego as a minor subject. As in, it isn't integral to the structure of the dream. Time for the science bit: We dream because our brain needs to stay active to stay sane. When we're asleep, our brain hasn't got much to do, because we're not seeing, talking, etc. That's probably why some people sleep walk- their brains are more active than usual. Anyway, dreams are made up of all the leftover bits of information not completely processed during the day. This is why dreams are often random, surreal or nonsence. Dreams can be triggered by a single thought, image or emotion occured during the day. Whether we remember dreams or not depends on when we wake up in our sleep patterns. If we wake up naturally at the end of a sleep cycle we probably won't remember a dream. If we wake up mid-cycle, we probably will. This is why we are more likely to remember dreams on weekends, days-off, etc than during the week, etc. Hope that helped someone. ;-)

And obviously either Aquaman or Namor. ;-) -
Nice. *y* Might I suggest though that you put some handles or a net to hold on to in the cargo bay. It just looks a bit... well, unsafe.
-
Probably, but there wasn't really any other way to do it. It doesn't scrape on the flat though, as long as it's positioned right. Yeah, I thought of the idea a while before I actually built it, but as far as implementation goes most of it was off the top of my head. The step was actually accidental. I made it as the tail first, then realised I could fold it out to make a step. :-D Yeah, that's kind of what I was going for, and the basic jeep was pretty much made from the Sphinx set. And thanks everyone for the compliments. :-)

Here's a few more: Home One

Yeah, true. Perhaps these could be spread out over a while. They were just the ideas I came up with, and coincidentally were all Jedi based.

Erm, much as I'd like to say yes, unfortuanately no. However that said, I have had dreams that have had Lego in them, but aren't actually about it. You know, go shopping and look at the Lego aisle before moving on disappointed. And yes, some of these dreams have had a few invented sets in them. Actually, I've had the same dream of this sort twice recently.

Thanks. I see the City Ambulance was featured in all it's glory. And what I'd give to have some British policemen figs. *wub* -
Was that the one with the four chipmunks, Gadget, a fat one and two others. They had a hot-air balloon. Or am I thinking of something else?
-
Can Herbie fly? Or float? I didn't think she(?) could.
-
In that case, I might have a look when we get Wave 2 over here.
-
From what I can see of it, it looks quite good. I anticipate the rest of the photos tomorrow.
-
Something about the colours I think.
-
Yeah, I got that impression after I'd made it.
-
Optimax, it's what we'd like to see, probably not what we'll actually see. Anyway: Order 66: Aayla Secura

OK, so I was pottering with my Lego on Friday night, when I started to come up with this. It only took me about half-an-hour once I'd got started, plus about 5 minutes on Saturday morning to change a few pieces. So, without further ado, I present Johnny Thunder's flying jeep/truck. The jeep is basically the same as the one from 5978, with the obvious additions of the wings, tail and propellor. The wings at the back open in two ways. The first allows access to the storage compartment. The tail also makes a step to allow Thunder to reach into the storage area. Inside the storage area there is a map, a red 'viking horn/tooth', a blue jewel, a pair of binoculars and Thunder's gun. Fixed on the sides of the jeep are a spade and an axe. Now for the plane. The tail and propellor swing out from under the jeep after the wings have lifted it a short distance off the ground. When in jeep mode, the tail and propellor sit neatly under the chassis. Finally, all that remains is for me to point you towards the gallery (when public). Comments, questions and criticisms welcome. :-)

Happy Birthday

For a start, I'm 16. Now that should tell you something. Well that'd be wrong, because I don't have a girlfriend and i'm not sex mad (one of my friends is though! ;-) ). I know more girls as friends, and I like it that way. However, I do have a bit of a 'soft spot' for someone. She's called Jade, and is the same age as me. I don't really know her that well, but I think she's really nice and quite pretty. We get on quite well, but that's probably about as far as it will ever go. But you never know... :-$

:-D We actually spent a teatime a while ago coming up with ways to get rid of cold callers. We came up with a lot of ways. In fact, we had one 'excuse' similar to this. Then there's the 'no I'm the babysitter' one... The worst ones are those that don't go away even when you put the phone down. :-| Actually, we can get away with saying no on a formality. Often people get our name wrong, so we can say we're not in. Well, it's not really lying is it?

Watched Casino Royale this afternoon on DVD. Very good. Parts were definately better in the cinema, but it was still an enjoyable afternoon. Apart from my sister and her friend 'whispering' while on the computer. |-/
