I find when I am flipping channels and find a USA er reality show or dr pimple pooper when they have these massive gross things on the, selves and I think like Jesus why have you not done anything about this why let it get so big and gross and then I rember that they probably have little access to get this taken care of and have to goon national tv to get it taken care of... one dude had some gross thing that he had for years and it smelled like rotten flash.. like grosss
...I would imagine pooping pimples would be a might odiferous as well....

What is a Batman tankard
You silly. You don't even know what a tandard is. Tankard is where you drink stuff out of. You like my mother. My mother she got angry in 1975 when Jose( a Portugese Australian kid who lived down the road) and I were walking and we were talking about Wolves and my mother asked us what we were talking about and he said: "Your mother is dumb. She don't even know what a wolf is!1557880412680.png1557880412680.png1557880412680.png1557880412680.png

If you were trying to post a picture, it didn't come through. Try again if you want to.

the 'view attachment' link you posted just comes up as a blank dark screen. All I wanted was to post a picture of a Batman tankard. I like to keep the tankard cool because I burnt my fingers in a restaurant.
That's what came through in your post, nothing. Try posting the picture again. For some reason, it didn't come through.

Yeh it is smelly I guess. But I fell bad for these people having to, go on national tv and show off their gross what ever boils or whatever, and think if only they had access to proper health care they could get this taken care of but they have no other choice but to go on national tv and get it taken care of

So I’ve gotten back into Legos again after years of just displaying all my old sets on the shelf. I was just overcome with a sudden urge to want to play with Legos after getting discharged from the hospital on Friday. So I dumped out my piggy bank and collected all my wadded up and stashed $20 bills Ive collected and begged my dad to drive me to the mall so I could buy some stuff at the LEGO store. I walked out with three sets and I feel like I got a pretty good deal on them. I was initially only planning to buy the Steamboat Willy set after hearing about it on the LEGO subreddit, but I ended up splurging and getting the Flinstones set too after seeing it on the shelf. This was the first time I had gotten any new LEGO sets after getting the LEGO Yellow Submarine when it came out. The third set I got because they were having a deal where if you’re combined total was over $100 (I had spent about $120 for the two sets) you would get a free LEGO Avengers set. I will give a review of each set I bought later today, but here are the boxes for right now. I will say, after building all three sets, it feels incredibly good to be playing with Legos again.

Here is a pic of my collectibles cabinet. Not sure if you can make everything out but it's like 30 years worth of stuff I've found to be cool and interesting. My Funko Pops aren't in there as there isn't enough room. The new pieces are Blade, Nosferatu, and Alex DeLarge. The back is mirrored so the reflections you are seeing are of some of my collected artwork. Yes, I'm very geeky.

Outside of the LEGO sets, two t-shirts I ordered arrived in the mail along with the shirt I bought at the ZZ Top concert.

I got a Dark Tower t shirt, allow me to attempt to explain the art on it, because I don’t currently have any photographs of it and it’s in the washing machine.

So the shirt has a circle and inside the circle is a silhouette of Roland standing with guns ready at the base of the Dark Tower. And the circumference of the circle design features little symbols that represent all the beam guardians.

The other shirt that came in the mail was a Blue Öyster Cult tee. And at the concert I bought a Bad Company shirt that has the art from their self titled album

Anyways time to do an in depth review of all three LEGO sets I bought on Friday.

So when I initially planned to go to the LEGO store, I was only planning on buying one specific set, but the want to get into Legos again made me have to get the flintsones set as well. But I initially wanted to go to the LEGO store because I saw on Reddit that LEGO was releasing an official Steamboat Willie set, and as an old cartoon enthusiast, I knew as soon as I heard about it that I had to get the set.

FIRST SET: LEGO IDEAS SET #26: MICKEY MOUSE STEAMBOAT WILLIE

This is just a fantastic set in general, the actual Steamboat was fun to build, it came with a lot of interesting pieces, notably a piece of sheet music for the song used in the original cartoon. It comes with both a Mickey and Minnie Mouse minifigures.

Not only that but I love how the entire exterior of the set is all in black and white. But not just was it fun to build. You can play with it too! The boat has wheels under it and whenever you took it along a flat surface the steam chimneys go up and down and the steam cigs turn like it does in the actual cartoon. The set also includes a lever that lets you cast in an out then fishing line. I rewatched Steamboat Willie just to see how accurate the set was. And it does a pretty good job. The only thing that’s missing is the Steamboat captain.

Some other neat details about the set; Like I said before: this set came with a lot of cool printed pieces all in black and white (including but no limited to: a guitar, a box of potatos, a parrot) and I love how they made it so the chimneys go up and down like in the original cartoon. It also builds a Mickey Mouse backdrop to display your minifigures against.

Overall I think this is a fantastic set, it was fun to build, it’s fun to play with, and I was not disappointed at by all. It is a rather pricey set however, costing around $80 USD, so that may turn some people off from buying it. LEGO sets tend to be rather expensive in general. But still, absolutely fantastic set, I think it’s worth $80 if you’re fine with splurging that much money

FINAL VERDICT: 8.5/10, worthwhile set but it’s cost may turn some people off
