You put Shockwave in your list, but he was a gun too

Not that I can tell. There's iColor and Lamp, but I don't see a way to change them.

Not a rumor. It's on the screens at the register at the LEGO retail stores

Bob wasn't a show in the 80s. Newhart was. This was his followup show.

Re: Gabriel Hardman Swears Off Commissions After Confronting Unauthorized Print Seller At NYCC

I was there and actually saw it happen. It was around 5:30-6pm on the way out of the con after it ended. He started by asking her to stop selling and she said no because she found them on the internet, so she could sell them. Things didn't escalate until a random woman started yelling at Gabriel and Corinna. The girl eventually picked up the prints and said she'd stop selling them to make him go away. The random woman continued to harass them, so they moved on (and she did follow them for a little bit).

And all the cops in the area were busy with traffic control, so they were in the area, but since this was between 34th and 35th streets, they were not nearby enough to see this go down or be accessible.

Who is "defending the decision" when all they say is that they really like the actor? This is really shoddy reporting (I'd never associate this with journalism)

I don't really know off-hand and I don't have the book here with me. My go to resource for EV3 questions is the EV3 group on Facebook. Very knowledgable people who often work with LEGO for exhibits.

I never glue my LEGO pieces, nor do I cut them, for my projects. Everything I build can be built with LEGO without any extraneous changing of the pieces. You're welcome to ask me anything you'd like. You can comment here or email me via the contact form at the top of the page.

Re: Marvel has an awesome API so you can build apps based on its comics and stories

Why are you covering an API that hasn't been updated in a year?

The Batgirl headpiece comes from the Joker's Steamroller set. It has Batman, Batgirl, Damien Wayne Robin, Joker, and Joker's goon.

Thanks. Glad you like my work.

Re: LEGO SuperFriends Project Takes Girly Minifigs And Makes Them Into Heroes

JustJon — Sat, 23 Aug 2014 14:50:28 -0000

I have, but Ideas won't allow "battle packs" there needs to be actual sets, not just figures. I just need a little time to build some vehicles and playsets to go with them.

Re: LEGO SuperFriends Project Takes Girly Minifigs And Makes Them Into Heroes

JustJon — Sat, 23 Aug 2014 14:49:07 -0000

Happy coincidence! Most people wanted to see Marvel over DC, so I focused more on them.

And thanks for posting it on FBTB. I'm a regular reader.

Had to. I love that book.

I love all of them too. Squirrel Girl is still on the whiteboard, but I couldn't figure out a good way to do her tail. I'll get to her eventually.

And of course, you can always buy some of my creations at http://justjon.etsy.com :)

Oh, and Brasso to remove the paint from the figures.

I hadn't planned to do a how-to, but maybe I will with one of my upcoming creations.

I mainly use Sharpie oil paint pens, but use Craft Smart satin acrylic paint for the flesh tones on the legs. All parts are official LEGO parts that aren't modified, just painted - except capes which get trimmed based on the size of the character's coat/vest.

If you have any other questions, let me know and I'll answer the best I can until I finally put it up.
