| 14:38 | < Mantisking> | !@#$%^&*)( |
| 14:38 | < Mantisking> | WTF. |
| 14:39 | < Mantisking> | How's everyone doing today? |
| 14:40 | < Shades_Corvid> | Dealing with a headache which is the biggest reason I am staying in today |
| 14:41 | < Shades_Corvid> | Trying to due a review for the firemech and realize I want one more picture for it....if I can find it. Where am I putting these things? |
| 14:43 | < Mantisking> | Heh. I've got Lego, Kre-O, and Mega Bloks littered around the house. |
| 14:43 | < Mantisking> | I really should clean them all up before my wife does it for me. |
| 14:44 | < Shades_Corvid> | I have a dedicated pile/box for the ones in waiting then the done ones are either built around the house or have been broken down into parts. |
| 14:45 | < Shades_Corvid> | What usually happens is the table is covered in mobile frame zero review process, then RPG night hits and it is a mad dash to clean the table off. |
| 14:47 | < Mantisking> | I have a pile in the basement of unopened sets, and a pile on the dining room table. |
| 14:48 | < Mantisking> | I have builds scattered around "my end" of the living room and on the bookshelves in the dining room. |
| 14:48 | < Shades_Corvid> | I can find everything else but the fire mech which should be back in the box and one of the rock mixels... |
| 14:51 | < Mantisking> | Yeah, I hate not being able to find things. "I know I left it *right here*." |
| 14:51 | < Shades_Corvid> | the mixel been roaming for a bit so I am not surprised but the fire mech I would have thought was right next to the open cyclops mech |
| 14:55 | < Shades_Corvid> | If I can't find it for now, no big deal. Just wanted to take a picture of it with a Chub next to it for ref but I really want to include the Max builds in the mixel reviews |
| 15:03 | < Shades_Corvid> | Right, giving up on that for now. |
| 15:08 | < Mantisking> | Ugh. I'm trying to work up enough energy and initiative to actually do some work. |
| 15:08 | < Shades_Corvid> | lol snow keeping you down |
| 15:09 | < Mantisking> | I'm a little tired after all the shovelling I did yesterday, and I feel like I'm coming down with whatever hacking cough is going around the office. |
| 15:10 | < Shades_Corvid> | ick |
| 15:18 | < Mantisking> | Yeah. |
| 15:21 | < Shades_Corvid> | So, there is some giant foam dice out there that I was thinking of picking up. |
| 15:23 | < Mantisking> | For the minifig scale game? |
| 15:24 | < Shades_Corvid> | yeah, not thinking of rolling them but maybe for spotting and defense placement? |
| 15:24 | < Mantisking> | How big are the dice, and what do they cost? |
| 15:25 | < Shades_Corvid> | the ones I have looked at so far are random colors :P |
| 15:25 | < Shades_Corvid> | one sec |
| 15:26 | < Shades_Corvid> | I thought I bookmarked it. all well, I think they were cheaper on amazon anyways |
| 15:27 | < Shades_Corvid> | http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005DS5MDO/ref=s9_psimh_gw_p200_d18_i2?pf_rd_m= ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=1H4A470VJ61D14GC8X1A&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd _p=1970559082&pf_rd_i=desktop |
| 15:28 | < Mantisking> | That doesn't look too bad. |
| 15:30 | < Mantisking> | AFK. |
| 15:30 | < Shades_Corvid> | I was thinking the same thing, prob get enough in 2 maybe 3 orders. I wouldn't trust them for the roll though. |
| 15:40 | < Mantisking> | If there's two of each color in a set then four sets should cover a full squad. |
| 15:48 | < Mantisking> | Kre-O at the NYC Toy Show this past weekend. http://toysnbricks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=94&t=12125 |
| 16:29 | < Mantisking> | AFK. |
| 16:35 | < Shades_Corvid> | interesting |
| 16:35 | < Mantisking> | The Kre-O stuff? |
| 16:36 | < Shades_Corvid> | yes |
| 16:37 | < Mantisking> | That Double Bar Plate looks neat. |
| 16:37 | < Mantisking> | I'm just hoping this stuff hits shelves sometime soon. |
| 16:38 | < Shades_Corvid> | right |
| 16:40 | < Mantisking> | I just noticed those clip-on Gatlings in the Collectible Kreons picture. |
| 16:41 | < Shades_Corvid> | interesting |
| 16:42 | < Mantisking> | I really have to open and sort more Kre-O sets. |
| 16:47 | < Shades_Corvid> | I still have one from the Battleship line I need to open |
| 16:48 | < Mantisking> | I have a couple I need to open and review. I have a Transformers Megatron one I've been stalled out on forever. |
| 16:49 | < Shades_Corvid> | Oh, I forgot about that, did pick up some transformer ones during the clearance coupon cycle |
| 16:55 | < Mantisking> | Yeah, I picked up a shitload of stuff last month with those coupons. |
| 16:55 | < Shades_Corvid> | I was a bit more reserved but yeah |
| 16:55 | < Mantisking> | Did I mention I'm currently thinking of an Egg Walker variant with Mixel joint legs? |
| 16:56 | < Shades_Corvid> | Just now |
| 16:58 | < Mantisking> | I've been thinking about it all morning, plotting out a Bricklink order. |
| 16:58 | < Shades_Corvid> | Cool, well I have one yellow mixel down, two more to go and will start on that after I get done eating |
| 17:04 | < Mantisking> | Have a good lunch. |
| 18:07 | < Shades_Corvid> | What do you guys think of my use of vids/gifs in my reviews? |
| 18:13 | < Mantisking> | It adds a layer of difference to my reviews. |
| 18:20 | < Shades_Corvid> | I think the gifs have been working out better then the vids did, at least when I found one that didn't low res the image |
| 18:44 | < Mantisking> | Yeah, the animated GIFs aren't bad. |
| 19:03 | < Shades_Corvid> | the very first ones I used sort of were |
| 19:05 | < Mantisking> | LOL. |
| 19:05 | < Shades_Corvid> | The first converter wasn't very good |
| 19:25 | < Shades_Corvid> | http://darkcloudblogs.blogspot.com/2015/02/lego-ninjago-kais-fire-mech-review-fo r.html |
| 19:29 | < Mantisking> | Nice. |
| 19:29 | < Shades_Corvid> | thanks again |
| 19:37 | < Mantisking> | No prob. I'm going to go pretend to do work for a few minutes. :-) |
| 19:37 | < Shades_Corvid> | lol |
| 20:01 | < Mantisking> | You know, I read about all these whisk(e)y bloggers getting free stuff and, I've never gotten free Lego or Kre-O or Mega Bloks. I must be doing something wrong. |
| 20:02 | < Shades_Corvid> | whiksky bloggers? |
| 20:02 | < Mantisking> | I read a lot of blogs about whisk(e)y. |
| 20:03 | < Shades_Corvid> | ok, wasn't sure if you were going on about a slang term or not. |
| 20:04 | < Mantisking> | Nope, no weird slang. :-) |
| 20:07 | < Mantisking> | Oh, I saw Mega Bloks Idea Builders polybags back in stock at Target the other day. |
| 20:12 | < Shades_Corvid> | new ones? at The Spot? |
| 20:13 | < Mantisking> | Just the four we saw before. I didn't really have a chance to look and see if there were new ones. |
| 20:13 | < Mantisking> | It's weird that Mega Bloks doesn't list them on their website. |
| 20:14 | < Shades_Corvid> | I stocked up on the battleships, I am thinking of having a fleet of them act as one ship. Might get more just for weapon mounts on ships. |
| 20:14 | < Shades_Corvid> | Lego does the same thing with the poly bags |
| 20:15 | < Mantisking> | I picked up another Battleship. I may get one more of the other three and see what I can make with all four sets jumbled together. |
| 20:16 | < Shades_Corvid> | That be cool, I like the engine block pieces a lot. |
| 20:23 | < Mantisking> | The kinda hexagonal piece with three studs across the top faces? |
| 20:24 | < Shades_Corvid> | It more a few pieces making up engine block/exhuast pipes, I believe the boat, the car and the plane all sort of have them |
| 20:28 | < Mantisking> | Okay, I think I know what you mean. |
| 21:33 | < Shades_Corvid> | I decided to go outside and take some pictures, check facebook or google+ |
| 21:42 | < Mantisking> | I just saw that. |
| 21:42 | < Mantisking> | Our snowbanks may be too high for pictures. |
| 21:43 | < Shades_Corvid> | the top layer of our snow is ice |
| 21:47 | < Mantisking> | Crunchy! |
| 21:51 | < Shades_Corvid> | pretty much |
| 22:08 | < Mantisking> | Okay, time for me to go. I may log in again when I get home though. |
