Finishing up the Piececool Checklist Update with the models from Piececool.world. I’m only adding models that are not already added from Piececool.com, even if they have a different name. I hope this is not too frustrating for users of the checklist, but I don’t want to end up with a lot of duplication. I have […]
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: Piececool Models, Part 1
It’s time for a Piececool Checklist update, though this update does not bring the Piececool list completely up to date. I’ve updated for new models found in the P-Series, IP-Series, Q-Series and M-Series that are found on Piececool.com (Chinese website). But I haven’t had time to update with any of the models from the Piececool.world […]
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 […]
An Update From the Wookiee
It’s been a while. A long while. And it might be a while again before I post after this. I don’t know. But… I want to get back into building models. I really enjoy building models, and I enjoy sharing my experience with fellow enthusiasts. Unfortunately, I’ve been distracted for a while by what I […]
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 […]
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 […]
News Roundup: Coming Soon and Exclusive
That’s right! I’m running behind again. So let’s catch up on some things you might have missed, at least if I was your only source of metal model news. Quick summary: Universal Studios added a new Hagrid’s Motorbike exclusive, Metal Earth has published the Quidditch Pitch and Bumblebee to the coming soon page, and Piececool […]
Coming Soon: London Eye and Pisces
Piececool just dropped the next Zodiac Crane, as well as a larger version of the London Eye. And by “dropped,” I mean added pages for them. And by “just,” I mean that I just noticed it. Not sure how recently they appeared. Anyways, the new zodiac-themed-paper-crane-from-that-artist-guy is the Pisces model. Guess we’ll be getting these […]
