| 02:57 | < Shades_Corvid> | back! |
| 03:14 | < Grass4hopper> | yay! |
| 03:16 | < Shades_Corvid> | I am now putting together a Stargate... |
| 03:17 | < Grass4hopper> | Nice. I finished my Metalbeard mobile frame. |
| 03:18 | < Shades_Corvid> | Cool, it is by a company called Best Lock, figured it could be a Gate and a great table piece. |
| 03:18 | < Grass4hopper> | how big is it going to be |
| 03:19 | < Grass4hopper> | Here's a Flickr link for the frame, sorry for the lousy pic http://www.flickr.com/photos/78709365@N02/11677726656/ |
| 03:19 | < Shades_Corvid> | Looks good though the lego face throws me off a bit but still nice |
| 03:19 | < Grass4hopper> | it's just temporary |
| 03:20 | < Shades_Corvid> | The ring will be 5 inches from outside edge to outside edge |
| 03:20 | < Grass4hopper> | I'm going to get a roboty looking head of BrickLink |
| 03:20 | < Grass4hopper> | decent size |
| 03:23 | < Shades_Corvid> | It even came with a event horizon aka 'the water' |
| 03:23 | < Shades_Corvid> | and the minifigure is kind of freaky |
| 03:30 | | PD2525 [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-8037a3f2.co.comcast.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 03:30 | < PD2525> | sup |
| 03:32 | < Grass4hopper> | not much, how about yourself? |
| 03:32 | < PD2525> | doing well, spending time with my girl and working on the review i'm posting on the forums |
| 03:33 | < PD2525> | it's a new years gift |
| 03:33 | < Grass4hopper> | cool, what set did you get? |
| 03:33 | < PD2525> | http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=41053-1 |
| 03:34 | < PD2525> | it |
| 03:34 | < PD2525> | it's an oddly awesome set |
| 03:35 | < Grass4hopper> | It does have some neat looking pieces |
| 03:36 | < Grass4hopper> | I've never seen that little swirled piece on top of the carriage, like a neat piece |
| 03:41 | < Shades_Corvid> | I think I remeber you talking about this on the Facebook page. |
| 03:49 | < Shades_Corvid> | This bottom base plate is totally bent |
| 03:51 | < Grass4hopper> | lame. |
| 03:52 | < Grass4hopper> | the green one, or the light blue one for the carriage |
| 03:52 | < Grass4hopper> | ? |
| 03:55 | < Grass4hopper> | I think I found the perfect replacement head for the metalbeard frame http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3626bpb034 |
| 03:58 | < Shades_Corvid> | That could work |
| 03:58 | < Shades_Corvid> | PD is working with Cinderella |
| 03:58 | < Shades_Corvid> | I am working with this http://www.amazon.com/Best-Lock-Stargate-SG-1-Abydos-Building/dp/B00H4E1Y8W |
| 03:58 | < Grass4hopper> | I remember seeing something about those sets a while back. |
| 03:59 | < Shades_Corvid> | I can't believe they are selling those for $15. |
| 03:59 | < Grass4hopper> | that has got to be the ugliest mini-figure I have ever seen |
| 04:00 | < Shades_Corvid> | I know, right? It like one of those meme faces. |
| 04:00 | < Grass4hopper> | the radar dish looks kind a neat |
| 04:01 | < PD2525> | back |
| 04:01 | < Grass4hopper> | what the quality of the brick like? |
| 04:03 | < Shades_Corvid> | wb |
| 04:04 | < Shades_Corvid> | Decent plastic but the mold casting is very mixed. |
| 04:05 | < Shades_Corvid> | Several of the pieces of casting bites on them still which makes connections hard sometimes. Others look like they are built out of layers and sort of twisted. Some connections are loose, some firm, some I almost needed a small rubber mallet to get put together. |
| 04:05 | < Shades_Corvid> | Honestly, when I am done I am most likely tossing the bricks and keeping the blue prints and gate. |
| 04:06 | < Shades_Corvid> | The Gate is the most quality in the entire package and I don't mine that I payed $5 for it. |
| 04:06 | < Grass4hopper> | and the sweet looking minifig or course |
| 04:06 | < PD2525> | why does the minifig look like he go hit on the head |
| 04:07 | < Shades_Corvid> | lol, I fill like it needs to be burned |
| 04:07 | < Shades_Corvid> | Oh, missing part |
| 04:15 | < Grass4hopper> | a vital part? |
| 04:17 | < Shades_Corvid> | No |
| 04:17 | < Shades_Corvid> | but why couldn't have been the guy missing... |
| 04:17 | < Grass4hopper> | lol |
| 04:20 | < Shades_Corvid> | Done! |
| 04:20 | < Shades_Corvid> | Yeah, the review might just be talking about creepy minifigure and 'only the gate is good," |
| 04:21 | < Grass4hopper> | That seems to cover things pretty well |
| 04:21 | < Shades_Corvid> | That leaves the Call of Duty Mega Blok set but that might have to wait till morning. |
| 04:22 | < Shades_Corvid> | http://callofduty.megabloks.com/en-us/toys/construction/dome-battleground-6818 |
| 04:23 | < Grass4hopper> | That grid sphere looks pretty cool |
| 04:23 | < Shades_Corvid> | It does though I am thinking of taking it off for a helipad |
| 04:24 | < Shades_Corvid> | Oh look, I have a helicopter to put on top too |
| 04:24 | < Shades_Corvid> | That turret might be perfect height for a frame, can we say home brew special rule time. |
| 04:30 | < Grass4hopper> | I wish there was a BrickLink -like site for off brands. |
| 04:30 | < Grass4hopper> | I look at megaBloks sets and will see a couple pieces I want, but can't justify spending $30 when I only want 2 or 3 pieces |
| 04:31 | < Grass4hopper> | Especially when I could be buying Lego Cinderalla and her pimped out carriage |
| 04:33 | < Grass4hopper> | I'm gonna go crash, chat with you later |

| 23:20 | < Mantisking> | Hello? |
| 23:25 | < Shades_Corvid> | I am here, just putting together a set |
| 23:28 | < Mantisking> | Okay. |
| 23:29 | < Shades_Corvid> | Happy New Year@ |
| 23:29 | < Shades_Corvid> | ! even |
| 23:29 | < Mantisking> | Happy new year. |
| 23:30 | < Shades_Corvid> | Like the video post. |
| 23:31 | < Mantisking> | Thanks. I just kinda stumbled into that one. |
| 23:33 | < Shades_Corvid> | This is what I am currently building http://callofduty.megabloks.com/en-us/toys/construction/dome-battleground-6818 I am looking forward to using it on a battlefield. |
| 23:34 | < Mantisking> | How is it? |
| 23:38 | < Shades_Corvid> | I got it at a reduce price from Target but even at full price (amazon) I think the ratio still gold, will double check the math for the review but honestly, it is mostly just bricks BUT the weapon scale for the figs might fit well into MFZ |
| 23:38 | < Mantisking> | The Predator drone looks interesting. |
| 23:39 | < Shades_Corvid> | I haven't played with the weapons yet to say for sure. There are some pieces in the set that some of the creatives (like yourself) might be able to use in frame building but def not cost effective just to get those pieces. It straight up terrain/set pieces but I think this thing will look great on a battle field. If that sentry gun looks good next to a chub it might be special homebrew rules time! |
| 23:40 | < Shades_Corvid> | It does, haven't built it yet. |
| 23:42 | < Shades_Corvid> | Last night I was working with the Best Lock Jack on Abydos set http://www.ebay.com/itm/STARGATE-SG-1-Best-Lock-Set-NEW-MINI-FIGURE-Jack-on-Abyd os-Compatible-w-LEGO/221344965383?_trksid=p2047675.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222002% 26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D11%26meid%3D3819876442456578277%26pid%3D100011 %26prg%3D1005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D121244355396%26 That was a joke. |
| 23:42 | < Shades_Corvid> | Threw it all away but the Stargate, only paid $5 so I feel ok with it. |
| 23:43 | < Mantisking> | Crap, I was just in Target tonight and forgot to look for that. |
| 23:45 | < Shades_Corvid> | Was also building/picture taking with Red Thunder http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Red-Thunder-31013 I am very please with this set. I even tried to make a frame, the best I could do was convert the boat into some kind of hover tank. |
| 23:49 | < Shades_Corvid> | Of course if I could find my proper camera (using my ipad right now) I could do the review on the Tenkai Knight I bought. |
| 23:51 | < Mantisking> | You got one of the Knights? |
| 23:52 | < Shades_Corvid> | Yeah, curiosity combine with a an hour or two of over time one. |
| 23:54 | < Mantisking> | I see them on sale but then I look at the piece count and put them back on the shelf. |
| 23:54 | < Shades_Corvid> | http://www.amazon.com/Tenkai-Knights-Titan-Lydendor-13002/dp/B00F4PL00K/ref=sr_1 _4?ie=UTF8&qid=1388620457&sr=8-4&keywords=tenkai+knights |
| 23:55 | < Shades_Corvid> | That is the one I picked up, like the chain and thought maybe it might be in scale to a frame one put together. |
| 23:55 | < Shades_Corvid> | once even |
| 23:56 | < Mantisking> | They do look neat, I'll give them that. |
| 23:57 | < Shades_Corvid> | I think the end product is a bit big for scale BUT some neat looking parts to take for say shields or weapons. |
| 23:58 | < Shades_Corvid> | The price is coming from that transforming brick base, a lot of engineering went into that crazy thing |
| 23:58 | < Shades_Corvid> | I like these sandbag pieces in this mega blok set |
