It's been quiet around here... too quiet...
It is cool to see things taking off - and it's mostly you, man. ;)
Sadly, I haven't anything in the near future to contribute. I'm slowly
gearing up to spend some time in .castle since most of my .space ideas for
the moment are exhausted. All I can do is offer encouragement to the rest of
you. If I work on more than one theme at a time I get nothing done on any of
'em. :)

I'll toss in my .02 as well.... I think those pics were excellent, too. And
I think that LEGO violence is something akin to Looney Tunes or Tom and
Jerry. In my case, when the time comes, my "parental advisory" (I believe)
would be "Comic Mischief" or some such. I mean no minifig really "dies",
y'know? Just like Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner. How many times did Wile E.
get hisself "Blowed up" or flattened.. and then the next moment he was right
back at it? The same thing happens with Tom and Jerry. People don't walk
away from getting hit multiple times with a frying pan.. but they do. My
minifigs are in the same boat.
For that matter my plastic army men got killed but were right back at it..
not all that different to me. But I'm rambling and as usual, mostly
off-topic. :)

Bah.. Central Ohio hasn't any of these stores... mutter mutter.. at least I
found some good deals (in general) at TRU this week!

Hehe.. you're welcome. When I saw your pic's it just 'clicked' - "Oh yeah...
it's just like Looney Tunes! cool!". I still can't seem to get that darned
duck to sell me anything good. Just this bottle of hair tonic.. hey...
waidaminute!

I can't wait to see what else you've got in line to share - if it's anything
like the port or the desert, I'm going to cry with joy (and a smidgeon of envy).
So... what is everyone else working on?? :)
