Legos says it all

Bully! It’s Lego President Teddy Roosevelt!

Posted on November 28, 2017 by Steve

Sunday was our first visit to the Lego Store in weeks; had to get the Women of NASA set! In many ways I missed going, especially when it comes their kiosk for building minifigs! I can’t remember what Somara was … Continue reading →

We attended this last Saturday to celebrate my birthday with the Derrs. It wasn’t all shopping, there were exhibits, stuff made by master builders and plenty of free-play areas. I tried my best to build a decent car in five … Continue reading →

The breakout character from the hit Lego Movie stars in what will have to be the sequel until there is a second Lego Movie. This isn’t a bad thing, it’s completely the opposite, totally awesome. We get to see the Will Arnett … Continue reading →

The Red-Headed Stranger…Willie Nelson!

Posted on December 23, 2016 by Steve

Of course it’s when Willie was younger, I’m willing to go with the Seventies before he started graying. Willie is also wearing his reading glasses because I couldn’t find a Lego head with the reddish beard in other capacity. Now … Continue reading →

My co-worker/friend Kathy is a DJ and a hoot. So for Christmas I scored some pieces from the Lego Store (namely the records and microphone), looked up some designs/pictures on the Internet of other designs and made a DJ stand for … Continue reading →

Who you gonna’ call?

Posted on March 7, 2016 by Steve

Just in time for the crappy reboot. I don’t mind the Ghostbusters now being women. I mind the lazy, boring, recycled plot. Personally, I never liked the movie. I saw it in theaters during the Summer of 1984 and I … Continue reading →

It may not have been in the news given all the Trump/Billary bullshit taking up the SCLM’s attention but astronaut Scott Kelly has returned to earth after being on ISS for one whole year. Big deal? Yes. We’ve never had … Continue reading →

Posted on December 20, 2015 by Steve

Not sure if Shaggy is trying to save Scooby from the Alien Queen or the new girlfriend getting in the way of their friendship! Give it a moment to let the joke sink in. Another hilarious creation by Texas’ own … Continue reading →

Next up…Hot Wheels slippers

Posted on November 18, 2015 by Steve

Here’s the plan everyone, go to lego.com or your nearby Lego Store and demand these! Why? If you read the source article I did, only 1500 pairs were made plus they’re only being sold in France! France? I could see … Continue reading →

My first bricklink.com purchase, it’s a hit!

Posted on September 5, 2015 by Steve

A great tip I learned at Brick Fiesta and from the master builders, bricklink.com is the best place to go for used stuff or particular pieces you want to make your own creations! Lego itself focuses on the new things … Continue reading →

Light issues, somewhat solved!

Posted on August 10, 2015 by Steve

I should’ve hit Specs (the local liquor store chain) sooner. They always have an armada of free boxes. Now I can take pictures/movies under consistent lighting conditions.

To help myself unwind thanks to all the weird stress I’ve been experiencing lately, I have been putting together the cheap Lego sets I’ve scored or the cool ones I earned at Pinballz. Last weekend, I had a brainstorm at the … Continue reading →

Twelve years of marriage

Posted on July 27, 2015 by Steve

With some help from a vendor at Brick Fiesta, I modified our Lego avatars to join the out-of-stock, business-card holder. Not sure which language it’s aimed at. The darned thing only comes with three Es, two Ss and one U … Continue reading →
