but Mars Mission from 2001 was best.

Yes it was.

Yes. It. Was.

2008. And yes MaestroUGC. Yes. It. Was.

ftfy is an acronym for "Fixed That For You," which is commonly used on forums and other internet stuffs. When I changed it to 2001, I was referring to the Life on Mars series.

Mars mission was still better than Life On Mars.

Anyways, could you go on your WiiU, accept my friend request, and then open a room for smash? Or are you busy?

[Olimar12345]

I am too young to remember Life on Mars' greatness.

ftfy

And I thought you specifically told me not to accept your friend request...

[Maelstrom]

The LoM aliens were better by far.
But MM has this. (And so do I)

[ThatGamer]

ftfy

And I will accept your friend request. And Life on Mars wasn't very good, and I will praise the almighty Mars Mission.

Ftfy.

[Olimar12345]

Ftfy.

Now you're getting it!

[ThatGamer]

Yep! Now what others conversations to ruin with this newfound power?...mwahah!

The majority of my LEGO are back at my parents' house, sealed and waiting for my approval before my nephew can be unleashed upon them. He's rather curious about the "moped" on the shelf in my room, but he's definitely too young for that.

Speaking of shelves, I have some LEGO in my current residence as well.

This was gifted to me by my sister last Christmas



Also a small souvenir from home (with a bonus Mario)



That's the astronaut from the Shuttle Launch Pad. I have the whole Launch Command set. Damn I loved that as a kid.

is that the same sister whose birthday is the same as NSM's anniversary

[ThatGamer]

I've got this Lego the other week, cause I live near THE LEGO STORE!!!

It's called the Ultra Agents HQ.

Really cool, but 2009s was better.

is that the same sister whose birthday is the same as NSM's anniversary

Nope, LEGO from the second eldest sister (also the mom of the aforementioned nephew). Youngest sister shares the birthday with NSM.

Might as well put this topic to good use. Presenting: news from NY Toy Fair!


- A new UCS set was announced- 75095 TIE Fighter. This goes along nicely with 10240 Red Five X-wing Starfighter from 2013.

- A new Darth Vader minifigure is being released in 75093 Death Star Final Duel. The new aspects of the figure can be seen here, here, here, and here.

- A line of Constraction "Battle Figures" are being released. The ones (officially) revealed thus far are Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader.

- In the new DC sets (76034 The Batboat Harbour Pursuit and 76035 Jokerland), we are getting a Deathstroke minifigure, as well as Starfire and Beast Boy minifigures. Together with the Robin and Cyborg minifigures, we have a complete Teen Titans set of minifigures (wait... we still don't have Raven! Gasp!).

- Marvel, on the other hand, features Ant Man and a bunch of Spider-Mans (Spider-Men?), plus some iconic villains, such as Carnage, Sandman, and Rhino! There's also a new Classic Green Goblin, but it's in a Juniors set, so... eh...!

- LEGO City is having an underwater subtheme and space subtheme (the space one I find particularly interesting).

- MOAR BONKLES.

- Jurassic World is brining Dinosaurs back to LEGO (in my opinion, better overall than the 2012 Dino theme)! Yeah!

- LEGO Scooby Doo is really awesome and is really overdue.

- More minifigure-scale Minecraft sets are on the way.

- Ninjago's new wave features some pretty interesting things...

- Behold the glory.


And that concludes notable news from the NY Toy Fair! I will update this post if there's anything I missed.
