American Fork canyon, Utah

Mostly not too bad. It’s pretty clever how they hide a bunch of the wiring under the tea house. You have to kind of braid a bunch of it and shove it under a little lego hide along with the connection board. That was tricky. I made my daughter do the braiding.

This is the second set I’ve done a light kit for (the first was the Daily Bugle set. Talk about jumping into the deep end…) so I kind of knew how the wiring worked with the bricks at this point. The instructions were pretty good and the wiring was pretty good as well. It didn’t come with a power source and it wants a usb power source instead of a battery pack or something, but I had some old usb power blocks running around, so that was fine.

Thanks!

Yeah some of them are really great. My daughter and I visited the Japanese gardens in Portland this Summer and when I saw the set I had to get it for a fun reminder of our trip.

It doesn’t. I bought it from light my brick

It’s part of the Bugle set.

Alan Wake 2 and power wash simulator

It is. It’s the daily bugle Lego set.

Imagine the old cartoon theme song. That’s one of the things it does.

Got in a play of Tiger and Dragon and Cosmoctopus.

Tiger and Dragon is a larger box game from Oink Games. I like the slightly puzzly nature of this one and playing with the tiles.

Cosmoctopus is gonna take a couple more plays before I get a good opinion of it. The table presence is fun, but I almost can’t imagine a world in which I don’t always play the “fast” game and just start everyone with 3 tentacles. This thing seems like it runs long. We definitely had a couple questions about the rules as we were going through.

Nice!

Utah. We didn’t go to Richfield where the prime viewing spot was but it was still pretty neat here.

Sea of stars. And it is a delight.

You can’t do that right now

There is a leaflet inside

Oh wow! Thanks! It was a fun project and it was fun to warn folks about the grue.

Awesome! Thanks.

I actually tried to (the instance I subscribed to) but I kept getting an only mods can post error.

It’s finicky stuff for sure. And the texture is odd. Apparently there are a few different kinds, some glow better than others, and they’re all a little weird. Some are more plastic like. This glows pretty well (it’s brighter in person than in the photo) but it also fades kinda quick.

I was pretty shocked when I saw the pattern online.
