Just some general lego stuff

and some info about my whereabouts. (all pics = links)
recently my life has been going through some significant changes. This has led to my packing up of a large amount of my Lego, so I have been really limiting myself to custom figs. and picking up stuff at yard sales, and thrift stores.
My mom found this bag for ten bucks the other day. I weighed it and it was 25 lbs. most of it is soccer and movie, so I got some neat stuff there. A LOT of harry potter stuff. Maybe some hundred or so minifigs and accesories?
Here are some of the highlights though -
Now there is one more classic knight around here in perfect condition with the others, but I think he got mixed in with my castle dudes. - I can't believe that they were all in there. I had the visor and helmet for the one classic knight, but that body, axe and armor came in the bag. the armor is missing the back sticker but the front one is in awesome shape.
I always wanted one of these.
and one of these too!
I couldn't believe my luck in finding this!
and it even had the CD in there! Unfortunately for
some reason it wouldnt play in my CD drive.
and on another topic I got a new tattoo..
now - you may be saying "gee that artwork looks familiar..." and you'd be right. The original artwork was done by Rayhawk.. Yep that Rayhawk. I figured I would ask him to design a Henry Tattoo - something with "oomph", and the worst he could say was no. However he turned out to be a pretty cool dude (heck I didn't know) and sent this to me right away. - I had to wait awhile to get it done, and I am extremely happy with the results. However you may notice a few spots where the ink didnt take. That's my fault.
see, I had a broken water main the next day after getting it, and I jumped in the muck with shovel and water pump in hand, and managed to get some mud worked into my tattoo. needless to say that the spots that had mud in it got infected (very minor.. I didnt even go to the doctor) and caused my body to reject the ink in those spots. When I have it colored in I will have those lines touched up. - no biggie.
also, when I was at brickfest (Man - I love saying that!) I got to meet Greg Hyland... and told him about my upcoming Henry Tattoo. I asked him if he would be interested in designing a piece, and he said sure. So hopefully soon I will have another one to show off. (I wanted to wait til this was healed before I took pics and all.)
So on that note, I will be taking a leave of absence until my house sells, I move, and I get my stuff straightened out again.
