Civil War Part 1: The Battle for Mount Cabinet

Civil War: Part 1 The Battle at Mount Cabinet.

We were fighting over land at the beginning of the war.  Just two miners fighting over land.  Both of them wanted to mine the mountain.  One wanted to mine for gold the other for oil.  So they both went to parts of Lamerica to gather up their armies.  The five-man Prospector force deployed a sniper to protect the others as they advanced.  One guy, armed with a sword and pistol ran out and fired off all of his shots, then attacked with the blade.  Another, armed only with a pistol sought a covered position and took aimed fire.  A third, armed with a laser pistol, aimed at Iron Man.

St. Michael

My Mom found a picture of a St. Michael figure made out of LEGO people body parts.  He used some bird wings, body and legs from a Roman minifig, and a sword and helmet from knights.  So I decided to make my own.

I used Count Dooku's body and legs, a Chima Eagle's armor and wings, with Superman's head and hair, and a knight's sword and shield.  I also made a serpent for him to fight. Here are some pictures:

A Pippi Come Back

I took a break for the summer vacation, but now I am back and ready to tell you about my LEGO adventures.

Recently, I have been listening to the Adventures of Pippilotta Delicatessa Windowshade Mackelmint Efraim's Daughter Longstocking!  For short...she just goes by Pippi.  When watching the movie version of this story at the library yesterday morning, there was a scene showing Pippi learning to walk on the walls and ceiling.  A glue man created a paste that could be put on your shoes that helped this happen.  I thought this was a funny part of the movie.

I decided to come home and create a LEGO version of this story.  Pippi is known for her red braids that stick out from her head.  I did not have red braids for my LEGO figure, so I found a man with a red beard (maybe Pippi's long lost father returning from his time as the Cannibal King!) glued to the walls of my building.

It would be cool if I could make this happen.  I would love to hang upside down from the ceiling and walk up the outside of a building to save someone from a burning building!

Next time, I hope to post about St. Michael.

July LEGO build

Last month we went to a speed-build competition at the LEGO store. Unlike the last speed-build, this one was not about building minifigs.  This time we could build whatever we wanted from the cup of parts they gave us.  I built something for the LEGO master builders from the LEGO Movie.  I built a space speeder with laser cannons. 


This month we went to the LEGO store, and the build was a beach-comber truck with a surf board on it.  It was really fun to build. 

Later on we went to the LEGO store and saw the model built by the LEGO User's Group.

Next week we will go back to the LEGO store and look for Ninja Turtles, I can't wait because my cousin will be visiting.

My mom got me a new minifig in the mail.  It is a ninja!  He is mine to take with us on trips.  His name is Jack.  Jack is a black belt and has two trophies.

His other Job

Hi I'm going to tell you a story about Jack, the lumber jack. He is a secret agent but don't tell anyone! His worst enemy is the Magician, the leader of S.H.R.E.D.E.R.S.H.I.E.L.D. and the no hands. Their secret base is on the top of the book tower. Here are some pictures of them.

 While our photographer was taking pictures from the helicopter, Jack attacked them.



Next time I'll talk about my vacation and the LEGO people who joined us on the adventure.

Speed Build

I went to a speed build at the LEGO Store today.  We tried to build the most Lego mini figures in a minute. I built three.  The winner built four.  I was SO close to winning the prize!  I will have to work on my speed building skills for the next contest.  Who knew it would take so long to put three pieces of LEGO together?  Well, we did have to add accessories also.








However, every one was a winner in the end, as we were allowed to take one of our creations home with me.  My brothers Henry and Brendan participated also.

And, while we were waiting, one of the store builders showed us his LEGO robotic creation.  It is so cool!  IT also reminded me of how much fun we had with LEGO Robotics.   Maybe I can convince our dad to start a group here!

It was a lot of fun.  The LEGO Store ha many activities that I will share with you on my blog.  Maybe I can let you know about them ahead of time so you can join me for the fun!

NOTE:  Some how this post did not get published back in April, so a lot has happened since this event.  I will try to keep you updated of future events.  I think the next LEGO build event is on July 1st.

TIMBER!

Hi!  I want to tell you a story about my Lego guy, Jack. He is a lumberjack, and he has a golden chain saw.






He likes cutting down giant trees then taking them to the mill to get turned into lumber.  Then this lumber can be used by all the people in the Lego city. After he cuts down a tree he plants several more to take its place.

P.S.
Next time I will write about his other job.

Super Heroes

I do not have a lot of time today, so I am sending out a photo blog post instead of my regular story.  Enjoy!

Gladiators

Today, two gladiators will fight!

Five-time champion - Spike Helmet versus Six-time champion (cheers from the crowd) SPIIIIIKE FIIISSST!!!

Spike Helmet's weapons are a sword, a shield, and of course, his helmet.

Spike Fist's namesake weapons are his spiked gloves.

A little thing about Spike Fist, his lungs were ripped out by a lion and replaced with robotic lungs (including gills for underwater fighting).  These lungs keep his body supplied with oxygen during long matches.  His legs were also ripped out by the lion and replaced super-springy legs.

Who will win?

So far they are swinging at each other, smashing, punching, kicking, slashing, and ramming...

What's THAT?

Spike Fish punched Spike Helmet in the guts, and he's down.







Wait, wait...Helmet gets back to his feet and flies forward, slashing Spike Fist across his face.  Fist is down, but rolls to his feet.  Taking off his glove he punches Helmet in the head.  Helmet falls.  Spike Fist turns to the judges, waiting for their judgment.







Thumbs up, Helmet has lost, but will fight another day.



SPIKE FIST is the CHAMPION!  He will take home the Golden Cup!

LEGO Club

We have a LEGO Store near where we live.  One of the best things about this is that they have lots of activities each month.  The first activity we did was to build a tree.  This was a free activity that anyone could participate in, and we got to keep the tree!




On St. Patrick's Day, they had a contest to find a four-leafed clover.  Would you know my little brother would find the clover first!  He will never let me hear the end of this, so I will post his picture instead of mine.  However, the LEGO store builders were nice, I received a LEGO Chima set too.

We decided to take all of our sets and build a larger Chima.  It was so cool!

Another activity was the opportunity to take a picture with Spider man.  That same day, was another build, this time it was a helicopter!

The theme for May is going to be Star Wars!  I am so excited!!!  We are going to have a Droid search!

The LEGO store has other things too, speed-building competitions, specialty set builds (for FREE!) and opportunities to take pictures with comic-book characters.


P.S. Next blog will be about my gladiators.

LEGO vs Duplo

There is a battle against LEGO and Duplo.

Duplo has a big gun, but  what they do not know is that LEGO has a gun too.

I am very sad about this turn of events, as Duplo were once our allies.  It has been happening for many years, but now they are our enemies.

Maybe we will need to send them away so we do not fight.  Or maybe we will find a way to become friends again.

Destruction

Hi my name is Bird  and i like to play Destruction. It is a game where you destroy things. Level  1 it is a big tower  you get to destroy a radio tower and monster.The boss is a dragon. I just LEVELED UP! I am from lego city.

Skate then run/Skelopod

My friend and I were going out skating.  (He is more than a friend, he is also my brother.) Then, I saw some giants.  So I got scared.  I said, "OK, let's skate, and then let's RUN!"  My friend was in the back, and he did not see them, so he asked why.  I told him about the giants, and he said, "Let's get out of here!"





Wait just a moment, I forgot to introduce us.  My name is Bluewan, and my brother/friend is Bluetoo.  We are twins, and we are running for our lives from the giants.  We ran back to the top of Mount Piano to our Skelopod.  Bluetoo grabbed his bazooka/machine gun to keep the giants away as we made our escape.

Turning to escape

Engaging the giants.

Home safe!

We made it home just in time for supper.

Next time I will tell you about the game my brothers and I made up.
