Bionicle Light up Sword

Bionicle Light up Sword,
originally uploaded by mhuffman.

I had a Bionicle light up sword that didn't work... batteries died on it I assume. Decided to take it apart and see what kind of batteries it took -- 3 x LR41's for those who really wanted to know. There's a lot of components that went into it... I'm thinking of other applications for the LED + batteries box... wondering if could be put into a different switching mechanism...

#8719 Zamor Spheres

Went to Target the other day and found #8719's on clearance, for under $1. After open a few of them up, they are pretty neat. Don't know what I'm going to do with them, but I might start hording some... I'm thinking about a moonbase module, where they mine out the spheres... Need to build some space looking mining equipment and hover haul vehicles.

#8934 Squid Ammo

So Erika and I went to the LEGO store tonight. Picked up a few #5524 Airport factory sets -- great deal, btw. And picked up a #8934 Squid Ammo set for myself for $1.99. Now, I'm not a big fan of Bionicle, but this set is neat and looked very interesting. It contains 7 rubbery squids. On the back of the box, there's a picture of a 'squid launcher', that you place the squid on, pull back on the tail, then shoot it at targets... Now I'll have to figure out which other Bionicle set that has the squid launcher to try it out. :)
