The Greater Portland LEGO® Railroaders (GPLR) are not
exclusively about LEGO trains...
On Thursday, January 11, 2007 GPLR delivered their 4th LEGO
diorama installment at the
Washington Square LEGO Store (Tigard, Oregon) “Window Into The Community”
display.
The diorama is a Rocket Garden and celebrates LEGO Space Exploration, or as some
of us call it “Space Bricksploration”. This is
a Minifig/Town related theme LEGO has periodically marketed since 1990, with the
advent of set 1682 Space Shuttle.
Jeremy Rear and Kim Toll take the theme to a highly designed and engineered
level to build MOCs (My Own Creatons) with unique and unconventional details.
Please take a moment to
preview our creations. If you get a chance, stop by the Washington Square LEGO
Store and carefully look at the details.
In addition, these MOCs and thousands of others will also be featured at
BrickFest™ PDX 2007, March 30 - April 1,
2007. Be sure to register
and join the fun with the international LEGO community!

Yes! Finally! Now I get to be as poor as everybody else who lives within easy
commuting distance of a LEGO Store. The Portland (Oregon) store just opened in
Washington Square, near Meier & Frank, and it’s very nice. I slipped in before
it was “officially” open, during their soft launch day, and got to browse. The
staff was obviously having a great time, and I don’t blame them. It’s fun to
watch the faces of visitors light up as they wander in and see all the boxes and
cool sets on display.
The first officially open day is tomorrow - a good two weeks ahead of schedule.
Rockin’!
Anyway, I wrote up a short news story
on BZPower, with a couple of pictures.
Pick a Brick had some parts I’d never seen before... including 1x1 clear plates.
There were also lots of windows and glass inserts, shrubbery, and so on. A
pretty wide range, even if the wall is a tad small. Lime and orange and purple,
oh my!
Think they’d mind if I brought a hammock? ;)

Please help me - I got lost and accidently hitched a ride back from BrickFest on
Matt Chiles' roller coaster, but now I want to go home...
The trouble is that I am not sure where home is - I have amnesia. Possibly I
was hit with debris from a coaster accident while I was watching it and knocked
unconcious.
I think I may be someone's sig-fig. I am a diver minifigure with brown hair and
a scruffy beard, wearing red diving suit, grey air tank, black helmet and a
yellow handheld waterjet for moving about in the water.
If anyone knows who I am or where I belong, please contact Matt Chiles. He
lives a long ways from anywhere I can use my waterjet, but his BrickFest
commerative figure is keeping me company in the meantime on top of his computer
monitor next to his micro-mini ISD and commerative Convetion Center model...

OK, we're at Frank's house and discovered two answering machine messages from
Ross. He's OK... He missed his connecting flight.
Ross, if you happen to find this message from an Internet terminal at the
airport, call 617-953-5206.
