Build Number 300 is in the bag! That’s number 300 across all brands. At first, I was thinking I was going to do Piececool’s Black Dragon, since I’ve done Dragons for milestones before, but then I realized, I can do my third attempt at Artoo for the third-hundredth build. Kinda like I did the gold […]
A Collection of Random News
Got a few little tidbits for you today, some slightly aged, some new. Been a busy week for me (in my real job) and I kept forgetting to write up some posts about this stuff, so here it is, all in one post. First up, a new Universal Studios exclusive model has shown up on […]
What Models Do You Want?
From time to time, I’ve seen Fascinations / Metal Earth ask on their various social medias for suggestions for models, and I’ve seen a lot of good ideas. But I wonder how much interest there is in each idea / genre. So I thought that – seeing as I now have a blog – I […]
Update on Some Exclusives
Thanks to the avid internet sleuthing of several builders, I have a few updates on how to get your hands on some exclusives that you may not know about. First off, via reddit’s Drummer7416, who got it via interface2x, we have a link to pre-order the Books-A-Million exclusive Hogwarts Express (in color, with tracks)! Unfortunately, […]
Hobbytown Exclusives In-Store Now!
It turns out that where I thought that the Hobbytown in Little Rock was closed at some point, it actually was just relocated, and Google Maps didn’t update their data. So, seeing as I was halfway there for another errand today, I decided to drop by and confirm a juicy rumor I’d heard… namely that […]
Piececool’s Gone Full Metal with Terminator
Holy crap-nuggets! Is this for real? Thanks to AnimateOrange who clued me in about Piececool dropping another coming soon model today. This Terminator from the Dark Fate movie is insane. According to the website, it’s only 3 and 3/4 sheets, but I don’t know how that’s possible. Look at all the layering! According to the […]
Build: 30 Rockefeller Plaza
I just couldn’t help myself. This building just demanded that I go a little silly with the staging of the size-comparison photo with Lego Chewie. And then it demanded that I make it black and white. So… deal with it. I know that some people like to just do the challenging models. And I do […]
Piececool Adds Some Not-Transformers Models
Four new models have been added to Piececool’s website, marked with a pre-sale date of 10/28. Once again, the models have been bundled together, almost as if a set. Strangely, this set includes 3 mythical warriors in ancient-Chinese style armor that most definitely do not [they do] resemble Transformers characters. And the Southern Gate. You […]
Mod: Black Panther
When I finished my Black Panther build, I realized that there was a relatively non-invasive modification I could do that just had to be done. I had to “beat him up” so that his suit could store up some energy. So I ordered some glow-in-the-dark purple paint, and carefully, precisely, and delicately reminded myself of […]
58 Models Added to Retiring Status
It is with sadness that I report that Metal Earth has chosen to start retiring a whole heap of models, the bulk of which is almost the entire line of Legends models. Now, I know there’s quite a few of you builders out there who think of the Legends line as a bit of a […]
