A message to the Evil Oppressors:

If you really think that reminders to follow lugnet’s TOS and international copyright law constitues ‘Evil Opression’, then you’re more delusional than even I thought possible.

   Selling the Qwelder-Mech was a hard decision for me. I want it to have a good home. I cannot continue to own a war machine. That is my personal choice.

Here’s a little feature of Lego that you may not be aware of - You can break it up and make something else.

   This is not me just trying to turn a buck, this is a person trying to free himself of many years of collecting.

Plenty of people have managed to offload their collections without a)such blatant violation of the TOC and b)decending into paranoia and lunacy.

   Jealousy controls you, hatred motivates you. The same people, the same hatred. I created a graphic to honor the image presented to the contestees. The graphic has been online for weeks now. No one raised a concern when I posted it originally. Only now that there is a platform to complain do the malcontents rasie their heads.

No-one else is trying to turn a buck out of it. See the difference?

   I have decided to protest your oppression. I will post an image of my choosing, one day, each day for 30 days. If you wish to add your voice, click on the image. The view counts will say all that is needed. You need not put yourself in the line of fire. I respect your anonymity.

I have decided to protest your protest by posting a sarcastic comment to each and every one of them.

   Sending me your personal emails encouraging me is fine. However you allow me to suffer in public. This is understandable considering the negative effects that may come your way.

Public, private. As long as you’re suffering.

   I must do everything in my power to reach those who may be interested in owning one of my creations. I have a total of $1000+ in sales this month alone. I am proud of that and I am glad to provide the best quality models I can manage.

How? Obviously not by selling mech bays on Auctionbrick. If you’re actually selling those mecha frames, I hope Marcus is getting his share. If he’s getting less than 50%, you’re robbing him.

   I say to all that read this, I did not wantingly violate TOS.

Even if that were true, you’re clearly unrepentant now. I really, really can’t understand why you haven’t been banned yet.

   I say to all that read this, I sell my creations so that others may enjoy them. The price reflects the work and materials involved, as well as the knowledge put in to them.

That still leaves about $800 unaccounted for.

   I know I want to make a better life for myself, that includes unloading the vast sums of parts I have collected since I was a child.

www.bricklink.com

   This is best for me. I have a burden keeping so many parts. I want to make as many cool things as possible with what I own and sell them off so I can live my life away from this constant work to maintain my collection.

www.ebay.com

   I have asked my contacts at Lego for their blessings. I have received them. So I offer what I have to you, my fellow Lego Fans.

Never would I allow people who hardly know me to control my dreams.

I love to build. I will always love Lego. Fact is I have plenty, and if you so desire, it can be yours.

Not at those prices. Open a bricklink store, and I might browse around. Until then, good luck. You’re gonna need it.
