Absolutely gave this beast a hug when I was done building it! Rexy is beautiful, and I love it!
Thank you again, Lego!

So are toys for kids? They haven't been for decades now. And the toys that *were*, are now selling for more than you'd expect as collectibles.

So don't make fun of or belittle someone for buying toys, everyone loves something, let them enjoy it.

(End rant.)

In the 1990s, Lego started releasing Star Wars sets and quickly learned that adults wanted them too, and were willing to shell out a lot of money for bigger and more detailed sets. This Summer, Lego is releasing its first $1,000 set. You read that right. And yes, it's Star Wars. (Part 3)

Toys are being made for adults with adult money, aka: disposable income. Star Wars: Black Series, Marcel Legends, DC Multiverse, MacFarland Toys, how about Lego?

But, I hear say, Lego is struggling tly for young kids! Not anymore. In the 1990s, that all changed. (Part 2)

Toys.
Are they for kids or adults?
Well..adults make them. And adults who love toys make toys that adults will want.
Yes, there are a lot of cheaply made toys that are clearly for kids.
BUT look at the ones that have more detail and moving parts. Those are for adults. Look at their prices! (Part 1)

Found the 3PO cake tin in the wild! ❤️

It started....

When does it become an obsession?

Just finished this build, and I have to say it is absolutely one of my most favorite Lego builds ever! I assume it was by Jesper C Nielsen? If I am wrong, someone please correct me.

THANK YOU for letting me have the great pleasure of this wonderful build that gives me joy! ❤️

I deserve nice things.

Just watched Star Wars Ep VII again. And I still think it's a fantastic film!

Latest Blokees finds!

Started a new Lego set, Old Chum!

The Dude abides.

Gotta build 'em all!

Upscale Lego Minifigs are awesome!

My phone sent me an alert about Justin Beiber. I can say, with all honesty, I have never cared about what he's doing. Never mind his music. So whomever is designing these algorithms, you need to redo them, they clearly aren't working.

I obtained some Hells Bells dice guardians from Critical Role at Total Confusion, a local TTRPG convention! Love them!

Still have my original MASK Switchblade. It hangs in my bedroom.

Lego Bumblebee!
I like it, but it doesn't have the same poseability as the Optimus Prime set. Also, I'm not a fan of how the legs work.

Lego Optimus Prime vehicle mode BrickHeadz! Vehicle mode and robot mode in the same set. We'll done, Lego!

Lego Optimus Prime BrickHeadz. Super cute!

Girl, you know it's true.

I have good memories hanging out with friends listening to this album. They may have been fakes, but the music was actually good.

DC Comics, I'm available. 😀

Damian stays with Bruce in the end. Call the film: Son of the Demon's Daughter.

I bet it'd be one of the best Bat films ever. No shoehorned villains or heroes. Organic story. Emotional moments. And solid superhero action.

Damian goes to fight his mother, but Pyg gets in the way and he has to push through his fears. Bruce arrives in time to assist Damian and the two stop Talia before she leaves Gotham. In the fight, Talia dies. Damian has an emotional moment with her, the. He and Bruce leave before Pyg's labs explode.

Bruce finds out Talia is working with Professor Pyg at the same time Damian does as well. Damian is afraid of Pyg because of an encounter at the beginning of the second act where Pyg had beat Damian severely. Damian acts brave and stands up to his mother and Pyg.

Third act. Damian is taken back by Talia who visits to take back Damian. He had actually left her without permission. He doesn't approve of her dealings and Damian was looking for someone more moral to raise him. But he has a hard time expressing his true feelings.

Backstory, Professor Pyg works for Talia and she arrives at the end of the second act to take control.
Damian has a hard time to gain Bruce's trust, and Bruce contacts Talia to tell her to take Damian back, not knowing she's in Gotham.

Meanwhile, Professor Pyg is experimenting on people in Gotham. One of his experiments got loose and Batman captures them. Damian follows, thinking Batman doesn't notice-but Damian botched the capture of the experiment and Batman had to save him.

Words are had.
