BrickFair 2010 Loot

BRICKFAIR 2010 LOOT While most pre-teens and teens spent most of their money at the BrickArms table, I spent it on larger stuff (the sets) And I got several rare harry potter (and other minifig) heads and torsos for a buck each. OTHER ITEMS PURCHASED- Running of the Bulls- Green Grocer Grand Emporium Toy Story 3 dump truck (stuff was half off because of slightly damaged boxes (it was at midnight) Vendors- Minifigs (FLESH SIGFIG!) BRickarms- I got like four guns... BrickForge- All of it was free (exhibitors get a coupon and I got lucky) Yard Sale- Got most of my bulk lego here.... Cheap too. Yes, thats me in the collage. If I missed anything tell me. Got any questions? Ask me. Me and My stuff

You can view larger size photos on my flickr.

I have decided.

I know, I know, this is really late, but I have pretty busy lately. I wanted this to be much much longer but I couldn't seem to make it longer. Please enjoy.

What MOCs Should Be brought to BrickFair?

This a personal video asking for your help deciding which creations to Bring To Brickfair 2010.

Brickfair 2010

A few hours ago I registered for BrickFair '10. It is in Washington DC. If your going to register tomorrow is the today is the last day to register, but sadly you won't get a nametag. I plan to make a 3 day journal of the event happening. More about this tommorow. http://www.brickfair.com is the official website. There is a 52 dollar registration [MUST be in by today [friday 24] You could Also wait in line for an hour or so like I did last year and get a free registration. [I believe, not sure]. You will miss out on some events, but you'll still have a total blast. Visit http://www.brickfair.com for further information.

Ancient Ladies Museum

Gazing, Finally found something worth blogging! Thanks so much Marcos Bessa! Love the interior design, on flickr I favorited every photo, you should too! Add comments below...

Modified Cafe Corner Under Construction!

Click the picture to see who made it, The color scheme of the roof kind of annoys me, but that is probably because it is under construction. The crane is actually his own model not the set (7905) He did a great job of making it look under construction as well.

Stranger than fishin' by Zach MG.

Overall great film by ZachMG. Animation was good planning was good voicing was good editing was good. you get the point. it was a great film. This is also the first film with actual embed code here. Plan to see many more!

Well, more vacation.

But, I actually can post! Because I have an iPad and am typing it from it this very moment. I got an app that allows me to write straight to the site. I have been searching around and have found some pretty good websites about stop motion. I am thinking about creating a whole page devoted to stop motion. If you think that is or isn't a good idea feel free to say so in the comments. The bad thing about those app is that i can't add other peoples photos from flickr and mocpages and stuff. And for some reason it is really hard to find a good MOC built by someone not too popular that hasn't been recognized. Now that i think about it i will add a submit a creation form into the contact page.

New Harry Potter Lego Sets Soon to be Available in fall 2010

The title says it all.

You have probably seen the open and built pics from ToyFair '09, but these are much moreprofessionaland give you a much better idea of what the sets are going to be like. I got an iPad and am going to write my posts from that now on (YAY!). And I am in the process of animating 'Followed' Name will be changed though. I'll put some production pics up later.

Good Bye (for five days)

What the title says... I will be back in five days, as the title says. No internet, no phone. Once again, I will start writing once I get back.

Pantheon Rome- built in Lego

I don't know what to say, because he didn't write a very long description. I'll just put up the picture, here is a link to his Mocpages profile. This is actually an unfinfished version, The finished version will have a dome built around the back.

To Infinity and Beyond!!!

A long awaited creation. I started this "project" a couple months ago and just recently finished building it, because I had to by a ton of black bricks to finish the walls. This first image was taken a while ago, and has a ton of glare, the other photos don't have as much glare, but they still do. I saw Toy Story 3 and it was a GREAT movie. When I saw it, this was already built but it forced me to take the pictures. The pictures didn't come out as good as I thought they would, but oh well. Another thing is when MOCpages resizes the images they start losing a lot of quality, and my pictures are about 10 megapixals, so They start degrading. I took a few good shots, but some not as good as others. But Flickr can actually handle these photos, but I lost count of which ones I uploaded. The width is 16 and 1/2 inches and the height 8 inches.

This one came out pretty good, not as good as the he's back thing.

To get that shine, I had to get one of my lamps and place it behind the set. But it shined through the bricks also.

That one came out really good, then I put it into Gimp and blurred it a little.

I thought this one would turn out to be totally epic, but it looks pretty bad.

I don't know what happened here, but it looks totally awesome.

Thanks for checking it out, leave a comment here, on flickr, or on Mocpages, if you like it.

STACY! My love.

For some reason it is impossible to make a brickfilm over 30 seconds, now I have tons of respect for all of the people that make 8 minute stop motions.

Stuff pt. 2

Not much has been happening on the online Lego community lately. It seems that the only exciting thing that has happened is BrickWorld. There haven't been any appealing creations either. Me and my friend made a little lego movie and it will be on my YouTube soon, it is probably one of the worst brickfilms you will ever see. For now the video can be viewed no where sadly because the host I had it on didn't seem to be working.

Stuff.

I am deciding to write one big post instead of several. There will be several creations. Here we go.

Some German named building. You should check out his profile by clicking on the picture.

Compared to...

05 - Goudse Stroopwafel Shop - newspaper clipping

Looks pretty big, but it will be like $70. Not a big fan of Star Wars either.

From FBTB.NET

Titolian. I think I have written about one of his creations before. I can't remember but this robot is cool.

On to Mocpages. I haven't signed in there in a while and I have never blogged anything on Mocpages.

It's just funny. I think she/he (sorry) has a whole series going. Made by Leda Kat.

For a contest over on EuroBricks. And let me say, this is epic.

And finally new Brickarms. I have been waiting for these to be released ever since Brickfair '09. I couldn't get the pictures because they just come up as one small picture, the full grid can be viewed on their website www.brickarms.com

And thats all that I could seem to find with out reblogging a creation from another blog. The first tutorial should be up soon if I have the time or feel like writing it. If you want to request a specific tutorial just ask in the comments.
