Happy Halloween everyone! I’m glad to be sharing the goofy little bit of fun you see above. I really enjoyed wasting time making that silly little candy bag. It also calls to mind what started me on the path that eventually led to me creating this blog. You see, this is an entry (that I […]
Build: Red Keep (Game of Thrones)
This is the part where I give the disclaimer that I have not actually watched Game of Thrones, and then defend my decision, but also explain that I’m not going to pass up an awesome model just because I haven’t seen the associated show. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, check out […]
Build: Universal Studios Globe
Okay, so I wanted to pose Chewie in the way I saw a lot of people posing with the giant globe at Universal Studios in Orlando. So many people acting like they were holding up the world. It doesn’t quite have the same effect, though, since Lego Chewie is roughly 3/4th the height of the […]
Catching Up: Metal Earth Checklist
Well, I don’t know how many of you use this Metal Earth Checklist, or used to use this, but I let it get way, way behind. Both it, and it’s sibling checklist for Piececool. As it turns out, that’s not a good idea, because it takes a good bit of legwork to figure out what […]
Catching Up: Exclusives
I’m probably not going to be doing a lot of news posts (coming soon, etc) for a while, but I did want to do a few catch-up posts that will be a little light on details. This first one is focused on the Metal Earth Exclusives that have slipped through the cracks while I was […]
Build: Sleeping Beauty Castle (Paris)
I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve this generosity, but a fellow builder friend was not only kind enough to help me acquire this model (that is exclusively available as Disneyland Paris), but he ended up just giving it to me. And this is not the first time he’s done something like this! Thank […]
Build: Javits Convention Center
Sometimes it’s nice to get a quick, simple build in. Especially if you’ve just finishing a meticulous build, right after a long break from building (don’t worry, that post is coming, I’m just doing this slightly out of order). And this retired model satisfies that requirement… for the most part. You probably won’t be that […]
Review Build: Drogon
This has been a long time coming… no, seriously, I knolled this model out several months ago. Is there some irony that I knolled it out in the fall, and actually built it in the winter? Anyways, dad humor aside, I always enjoy building dragons, even if they are from a TV show I’ve never […]
Somewhat-News? Catching Up…
Once again, and unsurprisingly of late… I am late with the news. So, it’s “somewhat new” news. Right? Anyways, I’ll give you one guess as to which model I am most excited about in the models shown above. Hint: it’s the Sandcrawler. Dang, I think I just gave it away. Anyways, in this months edition […]
2022 Metal Earth Retailer Catalog
I went to post my earlier update today in the usual places (reddit and a facebook group) and found that someone had posted some pictures of a Fascinations / Metal Earth retailer catalog, with some unannounced models appearing in it (along with some announced, some already released, and some long released). And there are some […]
