Happy 2015!

Hey Guys!

 Before I go to be I'll make one more post. This will probably be the last post for the year, as I'm off on a trip for the end of 2014, which will lead into January 2015.

 Here's what Lucy (my Sigfig) and I have to say...

HAPPY 2015!!!






 See you next year!

 Spinj (And Lucy xoxo)

A Very Merry LEGO Christmas!

Hello Everyone! :D

 How are you all? Did you have a good Christmas? Anyone unwrap an LEGO in their presents?

 Well, I myself had a very good Christmas! Yes, it was rather quiet, but definitely very merry! My favourite part of the day was when my brother and I yelled "Merry Christmas!" at every random person who walked past our house.  My favourite part of the day was when my brothers and I watched The LEGO Movie.

 That's right, The LEGO Movie! It was one of the five presents I got this year, and was sent by my Cousin Carmen. I also got Brick Shakespeare, and it's really inspiring to read them! Here are some photos:


 When I opened them I was like "EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!"

 Well, after that we'd opened the presents and had breakfast, I went a little OTT with LEGO related activities. Getting both of those as presents was so inspiring that I had trouble waiting for people to finish opening their own presents!
 So as soon as I had the chance I decorated my very old LEGO Creator house set, and made a sigfig for myself, my brothers and my parents. Here are some photos of the house:


 For above, from left to right: Me, Brother (Gabriel), Brother (Arden), Baby (Irving), Dad and Mum.






I spent a while making these, and very proudly showed them to my parents and brothers. They quite liked it.


Then after lunch I turned The Fold into LEGO Minifigs! I sent an email to them with the photos attached, and I got a reply 13 minutes later. Here are The LEGO Fold:

 From Left to Right: Dan, George, Matt and Mark - the four guys who make The Fold!




   Then after the LEGO Movie (We accidentally got a funny screenshot of some S.W.A.T Robots attempting to pull of Emmet's head in the Cloud Cuckoo Land scene when the computer was bumped XD), and near dinner time my Sifig gave me her Brickphone, with instructions to upload the photos  and told me about The LEGO Movie Party that Bricksworth City (her home town) was hosting. OK, I'll hand the keyboard to Lucy (my Sigfig) now!

Hey All! It's me, Lucy, Spinj's Sigifig. ;P

 
 Well, a few days before Christmas I had been invited to The LEGO Movie party that Bricksworth City (my home town, for those who don't know) was holding, because of my title 'Nerd of Ninjago'. It was a really big event, and it was such an honor to be invited!
 After spending most of Christmas Day withmy  parents and brothers at our home on Studd Street I headed headed down to the Bricksworth City Hall. It had been decorated, and was very different from what I usually see!
 I quickly spied Emmet and Wyldstyle coming up the street faster than you can say 'Ninja - GO!", and asked them for a photo (picture 1). They were very happy too, and I was very happy.
 An hour later the party had officially started, and I saw Emmet and Wyldstyle, now in their nice party clothes. I had changed too, and decided to get another photo (picture 2)! Of course, they were happy to have another one with me. A minute later I spotted Mermaid and Cleopatra, and asked for another photo (picture 3).
Towards the end of the party (which was three hours later, after I had chatted to loads of people) I spotted another character - Scribbleface Badcop! We had a chat and had a photo (picture 4). Then Badcop, because he had his phone, asked if we could do a selfie. You can bet I was excited and delighted, and said yes. After we had the selfie he asked for my number so that he could text me the photo(picture 5).

  Well, you can bet I was totally excited! When the party finally ended I got out of my nice dress, putting on my other clothes, and then I spotted someone I had not been expecting to see - Dan Castady, lead singer of The Fold, who made songs for my favourite TV series, Lego Ninjago!!I stopped him, said hi, and asked for a photo. We had one (picture 6) and then Dan called over his brother, George Castady, who was The Fold's lead guitarist. We had one last photo (picture 7), and then I headed back to Studd Street, my phone full of photos of all the celebrities I'd met, and I could hardly wait to tell my family and Spinj what had happened - it was A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!
  Meanwhile, earlier, about five minutes before the party had started, my younger Sigfig brother Arden had run down to the hall. To his excitement he saw Benny, Unikitty, Wyldstyle and Emmet. He asked them if he could have a photo, but said he didn't have a mobile. Wyldstyle told him not to worry, and asked Mermaid (who had walked past) to take it on her own graffiti-covered Brickphone. Mermaid took the photo (picture 8) and asked Sigfig Arden whose number she should send it to. Sigfig Arden gave them his mum's number, had a chat to Benny, thanked them and said goodbye, and ran down the street, unable to walk after meeting most of the main characters. When he told me what had happened I was so surprised!

 Yeah, so, it was like totally awesome! Anyway, what did you all get for Christmas? I got some new wheels for my roller blades, and that was really useful as one of them broke last month, and I still don't know why it did.

 Spinj's trying to get me off, so I'll go now. She's going to post up the photos now that were on my phone. Bye! :D

Hey! I'm back. :) Sorry, Lucy likes to talk. She gets it from me. :)  :P Here are the photos she wanted me to upload:












 So that was our (mine and Lucy's) Christmas! :D A very enjoyable one, and certainly pleasant.

 I must go now, it's 10:14 PM, and I'm seeing Big Hero 6 tomorrow (27th) - and after waking up at 5am twice in a row, both today and yesterday, I'm ready for an 'early' night.

  Don't forget to vote for your favourite LEGO set in the polls!

 Catch y'all later!

Spaceship spaceship SPACESHIP!

Hey diddle doe!! :D How are you all? Are you good? Feeling sprightly?

 So, a few days ago it was my brother's birthday, and he got Benny's Spaceship as one of his birthday presents. He was very excited with it and extremely pleased too.

 It took him about three days to build it, which wasn't too bad. Here are some of the photos I took of it:


 


My brother says: "It gives you a surprise when the big spaceship fires the banana cannons [the yellow things that fire across the room. :P]. The little black spacecraft has two jets, but the spaceship has a lot more jets.
 "I really like how the banana cannons are hidden in the spaceship's wings."


I'll write up a chapter or two of Rise of the Nerds now.

 Over and Out!

LEGO Minifigures!!

Hey Everyone!

 Wow, it's been a little longer than I meant it to be before my next post! Sorry about that. :(

 Well, recently I had the luxury of buying... two of the Series 12 minifigures! It was very exciting, and I was fairly sure I had one of the ones I wanted. I gave up trying to figure out what the other one was.
 However, when I opened them, I had the Wizard, not the Princess, and the Space Miner guy.

  Balthazar (the wizard) and my currently unnamed Space Miner .

 I dunno what happened to make Balthazar angry, but that Space Miner had better run!

  Space Miner has tripped over!! D: It looks like Balthazar has caught up...

...And turned Space guy into a teddy! D:
 :P


 I had fun playing around with those photos.

 Well, I dunno when I'll next have a new post, although it'll probably be when I have another minifigure. :)

 Brick on!

Some Old (And newish!) LEGO photos

Heya LEGO Builders! :D

 I was sorting through some photos I had uploaded onto the computer, sorting them into files and what-not, when I came across some photos of LEGO from this year and last year. I thought I'd show you some (starting with the oldest photos and going to the newest).

 Picture 1: My Belville house. I was going to sell it (it buy more LEGO Ninjago!!) but I changed my mind...

 Picture 2: I had an idea to make a LEGO Stop-start motion about my group of LMB friends and I, and this was my original sigfig idea for me.

Picture 3: My friend LegendZeldaWindWaker10, in Minifig form.

Picture 4: Possibly my favorite out of all my LMB friends, this is MineHappyGarm as a LEGO Minifg. :) Shoutout to Garmy if you're reading this!!

Picture 5: IronManGirl, as a Minifig. Unfortunately She retired from the LMBs, saying she was too old for LEGO, from what I was told.

Picture 6: Bridgey27, a very sensible girl. I had a lot of fun making her into a Minifig.

Picture 7: Ninjagoluver! I nearly forgot to make her, but then I found some pieces lying around, so I quickly fixed her up. :)

 Unfortunately I never ended up making the stop-start motion. :(

 Picture 8: A person made out of Duplo! I used to make these type of LEGO people all the time when I was about six or seven. I'd make them several different outfits too.

 Picture 9: My brother made a LEGO Duplo boat. :)

 Picture 10: I got this after watching the LEGO Movie in the cinemas for the first time.

 Well, that's today's photos! :) I might have more photos next week, as I'm rebuilding some of our LEGO sets.

 Keep on Building!

A Harp

Hey everyone! :D

 So in my last post I said that when the weekend comes, I'll tell you why I wasn't posting.
 Well, it's Sunday now, so it's time I told you why!

 So, first week of Holidays (three weeks ago), I got sick. :( I spent most of Wednesday  and some of Thursday in bed. Because I was sick I wasn't allowed to use to computer too much, so that meant no blogging.

 Second week of Holidays I went to a special workshop, where we all got to make Harps! It started on Thursday, and went until Tuesday. Then Wednesday was my free day, and I posted up my LEGO Drawings post, plus a chapter of RotN. Then Thursday and Friday was spent at a Uni, which was holding a "Come and join in with the classes" sort of day.

 So, here are some photos of the Harp:


 1. My sigfig waving while she stands on the harp.

 2. Plucking one of the 'C' strings.

 3. Plucking the 'D' string.

 4. Look! My sigfig climbed to the top of the harp!

5. Ooh, somehow my sigfig managed to find a place between the pegs to sit... 


 So that's the Harp I made! I'm very pleased with it, it came out nicely, but it took a lot of hard work! Apparently the Harp Fairy also did a little work on my Harp... :P

 Well, I'll see you all later!

 Keep on Building!

LEGO Drawings

Hey LEGO Fans! :D


 I'm so sorry about taking a while to post! D: I got really busy and didn't have time to post. You'll find out why when the weekend swings past

 So I used to be quite active on the LMBs (LEGO Message Boards) and the group of people I hung out with were pretty cool to hang out around. And I loved to draw. So I'd draw pictures of me and my friends, and other stuff.

 Here are some of the drawings:

 Me, the LEGO minifigure. That's what my sigfig looked like for a while on the LEGO Message Boards.

  One of my LMB friends, Abbe, was writing a LEGO Message Boards version of the Hunger Games. I was picked for the Region 11 (Lord of the Rings) female character, so that's me above in a more Lord of the Rings dress.

 Abbe, the main character in her LEGO Message Boards version of the Hunger Games, in the Ninjago section. This is her in a Ninja outfit.

 Me, Abbe and fellow LMB Hunger Gamer Ehinching. All dressed as characters from Abbe's version of the HG.

 My Chima Roleplay character Flamefoot.

 One of my Ninjago Roleplay characters, Spark.


 A "Happy 2014!" LEGO Message Boards poster. I'm in the purple. Andybrick95 (who, like MasterOshawott and Windwaker, is in the story "Rise of the Nerds") is the Red pony.

 I have more pictures somewhere, but I need to be going. Also, Chapter three from "Rise of the Nerds" is up! Head over to the LEGO Stories page to read it.

 Build on!

All things Ninjago

Hey LEGO fans! ^-^

 Today's post is about all things Ninjago! :D

 So I've done a bit of researching about next year's Ninjago sets. I had found some set images that had been leaked, but I forget to bookmark the page. This is probably old news for those who are very active when it comes to researching Ninjago, but I do have a list of the sets, and it looks like next year's theme is full of more Serpentine: apparently it's mainly Anacondrai!

 I found this list on BrickUltra:

  •  Anacondrai Crusher (70745) – $39.99
  •  Anacondrai Copter Attack (70746) – $49.99
  • Cole’s Boulder Blaster (70747) – $49.99 
  • Titanium Dragon (70748) – $79.99
  • Temple of Anacondrai (70749) – $99.99 
  • Mobile Ninja Base (70750) – Unknown Price
  • Unknown Set (70751) – Unknown Price
  • Jungle Trap (70752) – $12.99
  • Lava Falls (70753) – $14.99
  • Jay’s ElectroMech (70754) – $29.99
  • Lloyd’s Jungle Raider (70755) – $39.99
  I can't wait for these to come out (although first I need to get Battle For Ninjago City! :P)! The Titanium Dragon sounds really cool, and I must get Lloyd's Jungle Raider. :3

 You've also probably heard that there's a new Ninja in Ninjago next year! I heard a theory that it's the Yellow Ninja, although I was thinking that Orange might make sense if LEGO is going for bright colours.


 Well, now for some Ninjago art.
 Below are some of my Ninjago drawings:



Kai and Nya from the Stone Army series. Kai's head doesn't look the best.


A picture inspired by listening to After the Blackout by The Fold. I thought that Cole suited the line "Don't mess with Ninjago cuz we'll get you every time".


A picture of Lloyd that I drew for a Ninjago Fanfiction I was thinking about writing.


I got bored one day, and there was a pen nearby, and I decided to write on my hand.


 A drawing of Lloyd from last year.



And a drawing of Techno Lloyd that I drew around the middle of the year. I think that it is, by far, the best manga version of Lloyd that I've done so far.

 Well, I'll see what more I can scoop up about the new series.

 Keep on building!! :D
