Hauls: Mega Bloks or: When adults become children again

[dieastra]

Not that I ever was adult to begin with...

I had planned to save some money after the recent expensive convention and "Star Trek Continues" shopping spree, but then I saw this and simply couldn't resist!

My Mega Bloks parcel arrived today! And it's simply awesome. I started building right away. See the cut for more pictures.

Being an adult is overrated. The only good thing about it is that we can afford to buy our own toys XD

EXACTLY! You hit the nail on the head! I still remember vividly how I begged my mother to buy me an African village with African huts and African figures. It was all so cute! We saw it in a shop once. She told me later that she had went back to buy it but it had been gone by then. I've never seen it again since. I have no idea who made it or what name even to search for. I used to have little rubbery Indians and Cowboys as a child, but this seems not to be very common. If I ever stumble about it one day, I'll SO buy it!

Now, about the affording part... LOL I really wanted to save some money after the convention, which had been expensive, and my bank account is a little in the red. But how could I resist this one? Seriously. There will be more sets coming out. I intend to buy them all. Great stuff! Can't wait to get home from work today to finish building.

Yeah, I wanted a Voltron toy as a kid, and my parents wouldn't buy one for me. Then when I was older, I saw one at a garage sale and bought it straight away!

[dieastra]

I won't even pretend I know what Voltron is, sorry ;) But it's great that you finally were able to get one, and on a garage sale where it probably didn't cost much, even better!

Out of nostalgy, I recently went to ebay to see if I could find that dollhouse TV which lights up that I had as a kid but was broken and so got thrown away. I found it and bought it: http://dieastra.livejournal.com/189822.html

I also read once that a lot of people try to find their childhood books they have as a nice memory. Thankfully I never threw mine away ;)

No kicking the Merlyn!!

Totally cool stuff. :)

[dieastra]

Hehe, it was not really meant as kicking ;) I just wanted to show how he can put his arms and legs into all directions, and he would have been falling over if he had not leaned on Malcolm. I realized too late that there were actual stands coming with the figures. I should have used that.

Really cool! Today I built the transporter room - stay tuned!

Great set and lol Uhuru with two different colours of panties on hee hee.

[dieastra]

Wonderful set! Today I built the transporter room. Stay tuned!

Hehe, yes ;) I don't mind having an extra Uhura though. In the fall there will be more sets and I can put the other one in there then, for different scenes.

There's no point in being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes :)

[dieastra]

Sometimes? What do you mean, sometimes? ;)

You're behind ;) In the meantime I finished the Bridge:

and also the Transporter room:

And ordered two more sets. Can't wait for them to arrive. They were originally planned for Fall but I am happy I can get them earlier.

AND I have a brand new icon to show off LOL

Those Uhura's look porno! LOL

What's the point of growing up if we can't do what we want?

[dieastra]

Yeah, as someone said above - at least now we can buy all our toys ourselves!
I certainly have no plan to grow up anytime soon. I'll switch right to crazy old lady when the time comes.
