Mastodon - Oblivion

Fantastic looking set. The only problem now is that there are so many good sets to buy, and not enough money to buy them with!

Sweet! Not sure how to make a mini-figure sized guitar though.

I bought the 4996 Beach House today. Suprisingly, my wife decided to come into the room to build with me, which pleased me to no end. I was hoping she'd want to build this set since she recently expressed interest in lego buildings. She seemed to have fun building the main model (while I found the parts for her).

I used to play some AD&D and RISK with friends, but it's been about a decade since I did that. I kinda miss those times.

Curious as to what my wife would say, I asked her what she thought about my building with Lego. Here's her response:

Awesome!

I thought it was pretty funny. I let my wife watch it and she thought it was "funny... disturbing and funny".

To be honest, I don't remember how I found Eurobricks! That was too long ago, hehe. I suppose I was searching for forums to read and post on, and was thankful to stumble on this fine forum.

Actually this is a good question, and I should ask her what exactly she thinks when she gets home tomorrow. For now, I can give general impressions. She seems supportive of me in pretty much whatever I do, including building with Lego. She probably views it as just one more hobby for me, as my interests tend to switch from thing to thing over time, and then return to repeat the cycle. She doesn't get frustrated with my spending money (sometimes a lot at one time) on the hobby, which I'm very happy about. Space isn't an issue for me yet, because I've sold a lot of the Lego that I've bought since I came out of my dark ages, and don't have a ton of pieces at the moment. As far as her involvement with the hobby, she will build models if she has instructions and the pieces right in front of her, but she doesn't like building MOC's and doesn't like the whole searching/sorting aspect of the hobby.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing this. I agree with you about ED2 as well.

Huh. Strangely enough, none of the games listed interests me. You'd think at least a couple would! The only games I'm really looking forward to (that have been announced) are... - Madden 10 for X360 - Civilization V for PC - Dragon Quest IX for DS - Dragon Quest X for Wii The only game I saw on the list that caught my attention was Perfect Dark... but I plan on buying a used N64 for Christmas this year and playing that game (and Goldeneye and others) on that.

Not sure if it's heresy/blasphemy or anything, but IMO I'd also say to do as you please.

I remember building this set back in the day Good set, I'll give it a 4.

I just bought Civilization: Revolution for the DS this morning.

Mine would be, roughly... Target - 25% Walmart - 10% eBay - 65%

Deliverance, Deliverance/Weapons of Our Warfare

Great movie! Thank you for making it

I'd definitely 2nd Contra and the Mario games. Also, if you like old school RPG's, I'd recommend Dragon Warrior 3 and Dragon Warrior 4.

Regarding the Community Window, I found a couple mentions of it on the TexLUG site... If it was indeed a Community Window, that might mean that the figs are merely fan-made customs (though I hope that isn't the case!)
