Lego's Creator- Bike Shop and Caf'e

A late entry.
I am a large collector of Legos (when I have the money). I received for one of my Christmas gifts a Lego set called Bike Shop & Caf'e. This is a nice set to add to your city scene. The price runs $89.99 on the Lego store. I was not difficult at all to put together and you have instruction books that allow you to choose from 3 different set designs. I chose to build the Cafe and Shop. they are two different buildings with both buildings being able to open and close and have great details added. The set number is 31026. The number of bricks that you have to pick through is 1023 pieces. Some Lego set have numbered bags so you don't have to look through so many pieces at one time. This set does not have that system so when you go to start building, make sure that you have plenty of room for opened bags or to stater them all out to be able to see them all better. #Lego

Ghostbusters Lego Set

Lego Review
I just received a gift from my youngest son. It is the #Ghostbuster Ecto-1 Lego set. Although it is only 508 pieces, it was still a little monster to put together. the age range is for 10+. It is recommended for all Lego fans and Ghostbuster fans. The price listed on Lego.com is $49.99 which makes it affordable for any collector. I have included some pictures of my completed set. Please read each comment added to the pictures. I'm glad to have this set added to my collection. On a scale to from 1 to 10, I give it a 10. there is a lot of little details in this set.
This is the box which allows you to open and close where you can place the car with the top off inside with the four mini figs.

Here is the box opened with many little bags inside.

Here is the booklet that has the instructions as well as movie information in a couple of different languages. 


This is the base of the Ecto-1

Our four fighters have their scare face on. With a slight turn of the head they have their normal face.

Here is the completed vehicle











Finished product on the shelve for display.

AMC's The Walking Dead

Merry Christmas to everyone.
I  want to start the day with a toy review. The toy is one of the building set from McFarlane Toys. It is one of the smaller building set featuring #RickGrimes with 4 Walking Dead zombies with one of them being #Merle Dixon. Each figure other than Rick comes dissembled. On the box it says that it recommended for people 10years and older. The body parts are small and they will come apart and could be swallowed so they should be kept out of reach of smaller children. I have included a few pictures of the figures. This is my first set of the series which includes the Governor's Room, Daryl with his Chopper, and a section of the prison. It was given to me as a gift and it is the start to add more sets to them. They are sold at Toys R Us stores and on-line. Do not over pay for these sets if you do not buy from Toys R Us. With this being a Walking Dead toy I would and will purchase all the sets that I can find before they become too many for me to get caught up on.

This is the front of the box.

Here is Rick aiming for the head.

The detail is real good on these figures with them being so small.
They are about 2in tall.

Merle is one I'm not sure if he has turned yet. But he is ready to start slashing.

He is dragging himself to you. Watch your throats.

Never mind Rick has your back.

He has your back but who has his?

Here is one of the better ones.


This is the back side of the box. The two set at the bottom and the top of the box is where everyone is within the prison that I will have to find to buy.

The Start of Something New

The new year is just around the corner. 2014 held a long list of new experiences that I have enjoyed everything I have learned and the people I have meet.
2015 is going to be epic with a long list of activities, events, more people to know, stuff to build, and new memories to create.
My bio is a simple one.
I was born in 1969 which allowed me to enjoy many developments in many things that I have grown to love. I hope to list each one of my interests and follow up with as much information on those subjects as I can find throughout the internet and with life experiences. There will be dull spots that might not draw in a crowd but there will be demos that I will be posting related to Halloween and horror movies.
I enjoy two of the theme parks that cover the United States. My first theme park is The Walt Disney World Resorts. I spent three short years working there and I enjoyed  every minute of it. One of the perks of working there is that you can visit each of the four major places during operating hours for free. For those that have dependents, will also enjoy the parks along with you as well. My oldest son enjoyed being able to go everyday that I was off work. At the time I worked there they had a daycare on the property, on our way there sometimes we would be lucky enough to be stopped to watch them bring out the train that much of the time we would ride later that day. Disney is full of details fit for all ages, but is still advertises to families. My family has grown older and so has our taste of theme parks. Disney will always be a place to go with the family when there are more little ones.
The second theme park is the Universal Studios in Orlando which includes both the Studio and Island of Adventures. My first time there was when it had first opened. I had a couple of family members that worked there and we were able to enjoy more than just the rides. Although I never had the chance to ride the Jaws ride, I did however enjoy Kong. It was my favorite because you were up in a cable car looking down on the streets which was loaded with activity. That also means that you were closer to King Kong which at one point you found yourself in his clutches. But all that is gone and the new area of interest for tons of travelers in the new Harry Potter areas in the two parks. For me now I have brought back my strong interest in Halloween and all things related. So I when I found myself back in Florida 2013 from South Carolina I went to Universal Studios Florida's Halloween Horror Nights. From that point on I have started setting the opening weekend to attend. They do haunts at such a high level that it is difficult not to enjoy it. I enjoy sitting on one of the benches in the area and watch people get chased around. The Haunted Industry is where I have been drawn to ever sense that first Halloween Horror Nights in 2013.
The Haunt Industry is a large and ever growing industry with followers of all ages. Also in 2013 I joined a Haunted Attraction where I play the cult classic character from the 1974 movie classic "Texas Chainsaw Massacre". I enjoyed the art of the movie where the horror wasn't so much what you saw but what your mind thought you saw. With the haunt that I am involved with we try to recreate some of the iconic scenes placed along in a series of horror ideas that scare people for their enjoyment.
All these subjects and more I hope to cover and update for as many people as I can to enjoy. I have projects to build that I will be posting pictures as soon as I can while they are being constructed. Future trips to all these places and more will also be uploaded. My next trip that is being planned is to Transworld. Transworld is a haunt convention where people from all over the country go to buy and experience what is new for the upcoming Halloween season. I will be posting as many pictures and videos as I can.
One of my favorite shows that I have enjoyed at the start of the show is AMC's The Walking Dead. One of the reasons for liking the show so much is that they film the show just a few hundred miles away and I have visited some of the locations where the filming had taken place. This show is also an inspiration for me to start sculpting in clay for masks and props for Halloween and the haunt industry. I will be adding pictures and posts of my creations as it is being built.
There is one other topic or product that I will be added as well. this is toy related. The toy of choice for me is Legos. I have several sets of Legos and I will continue to add more to my collection. I give you reviews of what sets I have built and some that I do not have but would like to add.
I ask that if you have questions and/or requests please comment.
