In regards to Bustin’ out the bonks: I met my wife on a dating app. She said she had been on so many dates where men just didn’t have a passion besides drinking beer and found my nerd poo poo awesome. So you could say LEGO made me stand apart from the bro’s and now I have a cool as hell family :3:

That's fantastic, my nerd hobbies where something that impressed my wife, she was able to see what I was about pretty easily with my minor displays I had 13 years ago. Now my collection has probably grown by over 1000% and my wife had a huge impact on that, with encouraging me to buy the toys I wanted and buying a bunch herself. Can't complain when your significant other says have fun with that $400 toy, I think I'll keep her around.

Slightly better pics of the girls' car from Death Proof, the 1972 Mustang Grande! Now that's an ugly Mustang! It also doesn't really bring much new to the table technique-wise, but I wanted to make it so I did.

modok is the best stupidest marvel character. the way they've gone all in on his ridiculousness is the best.

I love his Marvel vs Capcom 3 rendition so much, he's just Cackling McBadguy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UZXyfqAHv8&hd=1

he was largely a joke character until a guy named Frutsy from I want to say a tiny town in mexico, who literally came to EVO with an arcade stick made out of arcade stick components inserted in a shoebox because that's all he had, made an incredibly valiant run with a weird team that included MODOK.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsL70koPqC8&hd=1&t=34s

that said, I bet they only put him in that set to trick people into buying the set just for the MODOK figure because the set is otherwise so terrible

Oh oops that's still there? I was experimenting with shapes that would effectively reinforce that spot; that works but I'm still in the process of finding two white ones and forgot to remove this one!

This is still partway through building, I still have a lot of the aft section to design.

I'm in the middle of a massive cleaning and reorganizing project, and finally got together all the lego catalogs I've gotten over the years that were in scattered boxes in the closet.

it's a lot, a good six inch thick stack of them, from now back to 1995, maybe a few older ones.



interesting to see prices of stuff from back then, how they showed them off in the catalogs, etc.

Wow, yours look completely different from the Dutch versions. I miss how they used to portray it, complete with tiny story segments.

Tossed together a hot rod rocket. Can't find my leather cap or leather jacket pieces, so the minifig isn't... thematic. Which I'm fine with, really. *panic*

I wanted it to look sort of like it was in the design family of a 1920s roadster or something, but with rockets instead of wheels.

Some people have been getting Target to price match, based off the website. YMMV though.

I like it. Especially the horn and the angry guy at the wheel. I can see him flying across Lego city tooting his horn :argh: while yelling at the people to get out of the way or be skewered.
