LEGO KoL!

For those of you that know what KoL is (that's Kingdom of Loathing for you n00bs), there's a contest going on to build your favorite KoL scene out of LEGO... Hmm... I need to get to building... Deadline is Dec. 8th.

Happy Thanksgiving

So I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, but I also wanted to comment on the turkey of a gift that I got from LEGO as part of my BrickMaster subscription... I got a #4906, a 16 piece Creator set. Now, I pay good money for this subscription only to get a crappy 16 piece set? WTF? I've been very happy with my BrickMaster subscription up until now... this just seems like a real let down. And in my most recent LEGO catalog, they offer this set as an 'exclusive' set -- HA! That's funny... what is LEGO thinking?

I should be more thankful... I'm thankful for my wife! I'm thankful that my wife is making a Oreo cheesecake this morning -- it smells delicious! I'm thankful that my family is healthy. I'm thankful for a place to live & that my wife & I are employed. I'm thankful for good friends. So I guess I should be thankful that LEGO hasn't gone out of business -- I know they try hard despite their stupid marketing department. :)

So we had our display at the Festival of the Master in Downtown Disney, in front of the LEGO Imagination Store. Joe Meno & I bought some of the new mosaic sets. During the display, someone made the comment, 'you know what would be neat? A sliding picture puzzle out of LEGO...' And now here it is...

Festival of the Masters Video

Joe Meno just posted a video from our LEGO display the Festival of the Masters event in front of the LEGO Imagination Center in Downtown Disney, Orlando.

Festival of the Masters

Joe Meno dropped in Wednesday night for this weekend's LEGO display at the Festival of the Masters over at Downtown Disney. We stopped by the LIC & picked up some of the new mosaic sets... spent part of the nights Wednesday & Thursday coming up with Disney related mini-mosaics to add to our display -- WARNING: the new mosaic sets are addicting; I bought my 4th set last night.

I had lots of fun with this display. I was overwhelmed by the number of people that stopped by. And floored by the quality of artwork by the chalk artist up the way from us. Erika & I walked from one end to the other taking the sites in -- this is the first FotM show that we've attended.

If you're in Florida, try to make it to the LIC store in Downtown Disney. Our group, GFLUG, has put on a LEGO display for this weekend... Come check us out.
