Duh-duh duum, duum, duum... another one bites the dust!

The final box-stock holdout among my modern locomotives has at last been sent to the scrap heap and from its remains, new life has sprouted forth!  The build of this switcher did not go at all as I had planned; it actually went much better.  About a third of the way through I made a pretty significant change to the design concept that turned everything around (both literally and figuratively) and led me down the path to a very different aesthetic style than I expected to pull from these parts.  What started out as a string of experimental failures, then, morphed into something very unfamiliar, yet personally satisfying.

This DC Comics Super Heroes set was released all by itself last week, alongside nothing else from the line.  In the US it's a Toys R Us retail exclusive, though also available directly from LEGO Shop at Home.

My LEGO Sticker Collection & organization system

In addition to working on more custom builds, in recent weeks I've also finally organized my spare official LEGO sticker sheets into the standard photo album binder setup that I've used in other hobbies in the past.  I figured I'd share a look at it in case it can give anyone any good ideas to do something similar or better.

Trains, trains, more trains, always with the trains

After focusing on train-related items with my custom builds over only the past week six days, I've already started getting complaints from viewers that "all" I "ever" do anymore is train stuff and I "never" do anything else.  In spite of such dramatic over-reactions, I'm going to continue doing what I enjoy and taking advantage of every bit of building inspiration I can, whenever I can!  I may do more train-related builds for another agonizing six days, or I may suddenly switch back to watercraft, or another building, or even just random minifigs to increase the population of New Jang City.  Sometimes the imagination is like the proverbial box of chocolates, and I'm okay with that!

Red had to happen, and I wanted purple to happen in some capacity as well, so I went ahead & killed two birds with one stone.  (Disclaimer:  No actual birds were harmed in the making of this video.)

The Little Engine That Could in LEGO

I had a reprint of the original version of The Little Engine That Could when I was probably 3 years old, but I completely forgot about it as an adult!  I've been on the lookout for a good opportunity to make a tank engine style steam loco, and somehow this thing happened out of the (medium) blue.  It runs very well, but my depletion of parts for the Blauhaus Building forced a bunch of aesthetic compromises.  Most importantly, the boiler should be a bit taller and it should have a more consistent cross-section.  Perhaps eventually, once I have more parts, I'll revisit this, but for now, I must consider it a very successful and happy little project!

I believe it was February when I announced that I would significantly throttle back on reviews and divert attention towards New Jang City and custom MOCs.  Said diversion was a success, but now the next major LEGO release & set review season is about to begin, so let's take a look back at what I was able to accomplish during the break.

It begins.  I don't live in the UK, so I wasn't able to get all of the first summer wave sets starting the week before last.  I also don't live on the southeast seaboard of the US, so I wasn't able to start loading up on them last weekend.  Where I live, things are often slow to appear on shelves, but I get what I can, when I can, to bring you timely new content as quickly as I can.  The big, big release hasn't hit yet for me, but the very tip of the iceberg is upon us.

Happy Flashback Friday or belated Throwback Thursday :)  One insignificant piece in this set is a bit too new and a few are a bit too old (all direct & close substitutions), but overall it's a pretty faithfully preserved piece of history from before the dawn of the minifig era.

This is definitely a type of set I'd never have expected LEGO to make, with the vast majority of the price and value in the form of named, licensed characters.  Typically every company wants to split up named characters into as many different products as possible to entice people to spend more.  This is the opposite, and I am deeply grateful for it.

Technically this is a Freemaker Adventures (non-canon) set, but who cares?!  The figures are legit!

And now for something... completely different.  Building this set filled me with impetus to break free from my self-imposed confines of normalcy and do my first out-of-studio review in quite a few years.
