Build Your Own Minifigs

Well hello tapperinos.  Our week of Simpsons minifig contests is over and a bunch of tappers got some cool Simpsons minfigs to enjoy.  Here at Addicts, we wish there was a way to give out even more than we did but money doesn’t grow on trees… not even in Springfield.

Bummer and bummer but I did find something pretty snazzy where you COULD make your own minifigs if you were so inclined.  I found this article online and laughed as I watched Chicago animator David Pickett create our favorite family from various blocks.  Click the link below the image to get to the article and video.  It’s over 30 minutes long but I was riveted.

Homemade Lego Minifigs

I have no clue what the cost of all these pieces would be if you had to buy them   (a complete set of the pre-made Simpsons family would be $19.95 US) but tell your Mom, tell your Dad, this is Super Rad.  Really makes me want to visit the Lego store to get Ralph and a bunch of random pieces for the project.  Seems like it truly would be a fun project.  One things for certain, this guy is a GENIUS.

Well, if any of you Addicts do build even one of these, please share with the group.  Until next time, I remain the resident fuzzball.  You stay you, classy as usual.

TTFN… Wookiee out!

A Very Figgy Birthday and a Super Happy Wookiee

Well hello hello.  Another year older and another year (something something).

So first off, I just have to thank all of the readers here for all the birthday wishes last Friday.  While we do get a good amount of comments on posts regularly, seeing 89 comments, and only one was from my Mom, was really special. They say for every person that comments, nine others thought about it and didn’t and that number just blows my noggin.  Over a thousand of you just took the time to click the post.  Wowza.

I had a great bday as those things go and spent the day in Disneyland so I have no complaints at all.  Got some stuff from family and friends and all in all, it was just the sort of relaxation needed before batting down the hatches for finals preparation.  Special thanks to my Mom for renting a poolside cabana on Saturday.

Anywho… there’s actually a point for this turn at word slinging.  My amazing friends/”sisters from another mister” on this blog not only surprised me with that birthday post but also sent me a prezzie and having received it yesterday, I had to share.
