Simpsons Minifigures: Again?

I thought that I could finally wave the Simpsons ado, but oh no the LEGO company just had to make more Simpson products. AUGGGGGGHHH!!!!!!!
Let me do a medical breakdown so that you too can feel my utter frustration at the LEGO Simpson minifigures. I will call the figures by the rows because I have no idea who any of the Simpsons are, except for Barf or Bart or something like that.  
- 4,4 head too high, either brain tumor or serious brain injury.
- 3,4 Probably has Graves Disease which is caused by an overactive thyroid causing his eyes to bulge.
-2,4 and 1,4 all I can say is poor ladies. If I make the assumption that the purple mass on their head is organic matter, then either they have a series brain tumor or their brain has exploded.
-4,3 Lets just say that Barf's face has chocolate on it and he does not have gingivostomatitis which is the inflammation of the gums.
-3,3 I am diagnosing this guy as having the top of his head cut off and billions of  Dermestidae, which is a brown larvae, eating the rest of his body.
-2,3 Everything checks out on this one and on 1,3.
Phew! I hope I ruined the Simpsons for you. I know it did for me.
LEGO Collectible Minifigures - The Simpsons Series 2

We are experiencing some technical difficulties which are being resolved which is a reason why I have not been posting. I will hopefully be posting more on this blog.

Series 13 Minifigures

I stumbled upon pictures of the next series of minifigures and I had to share.

What I like about the minifigures series is how much attention is paid to detail. I am really looking forward to getting the alien and king.

Happy New Year!

Whoops! now I know why it is called a drop ship. No more like dropped ship


 Go ahead and laugh because this is the biggest decently built LEGO vehicle that I have created. In fact I am laughing right now.
I first started with the windshield and formed the rest of the drop ship around it. That was about a year ago. All I did was gather all the pieces together and assemble it, replacing the wings with engines.


The drop ship can hold four people including the pilot. Do you think that I should submit it to LEGO Ideas?



Please leave your opinion or any suggestions in the comments.

Pros and Cons of being an AFOL durig Christmas

During this Christmas season I have been thinking of some of the benefits and liabilities to being an AFOL (Adult Fan Of Lego).

Pros:
-None of your family or friends stresses out on what to get you for Christmas.
-You never experience after Christmas blues because you are utilizing the LEGO sets you got at Christmas.
- You don't get odd looks when you buy a Friends set that has a really cool element that you need to finish your giant Gama ray gun.

Cons:
 -Unfortunately most non AFOLs think that LEGO is a toy, not an art medium, and asks you when you are going to grow up.



What happens when you cross a tight wad with a media nerd?
someone who sees the latest Hobbit movie at the 9 a.m. showing opening day.

This is not at all connected with the fact that I have been counting down the days till Battle of Five Armies is released :).

Merry Christmas!

Do you know what Lord of the Rings is missing? Flying Horses!!!!


 Lord of the Rings has GMOd eagles GMOd bees, and superheroes that can shape shift from a bear to a human, but no flying horses. Frodo's journey would have been so much easier on the back of a Pegasus, because a flying horse can fly to areas that regular horses could not and hide on the ground when the Nazgul search for the ring when an eagle could not. Maybe that is why, the journey would be two easy for three books.

Happy reformation day?

You probably expected happy Halloween, but did you know that reformation day is celebrated the same day as Halloween? In addition to reformation day all saints day is celebrated November 1. To celebrate all these holidays I will post a build that is completely irrelevant to any of them.
 I am a huge fan of Mars Mission, so the new space miner in the minifig series was a pleasant surprise. If you are a fan of 2001 a Space Odyssey, the space miner helmet would be great for the space suits.
 I spent at least 20 minutes trying to photograph this MOC and It still came out fuzzy!
Off topic again. If you are wondering which type of candy to give to the Trick or Teater's buy Snickers. They are statistically the most popular candy.
