OK, so I wish that I could add 50 new pieces per day, but life just isn't that simple. BUT... I looked at my summer schedule and it's pretty open, so I feel pretty confident saying that I can do 20 new pieces per week for the entire summer. Hopefully I can just keep that going for the rest of the entire year, but at least it is a start.
Also - if anyone has a pdf of the Monster Core 2 for me to look at, I'd love to update the Pathfinder category with new beasties. I'm getting a wee bit behind.
I'M BACK. Let's get this party started.
I will be out of the office from June 5th to June 13th, playing shows and filming music videos.
The site and store will remain open, but any orders placed from Thursday June 4th to Friday June 13th will not be received or processed until I return!
Now you know. :)
Bo-ring. Sorry. Restocking needs to happen so we are putting 100-150 products back in stock right now (UPDATE: 275 done with 100 more by the end of the week!) and building new legions of monsters. I am not adding any new items right at this present time, but I am preparing lots and lots of photos for future updates so that when I do start dropping new items, it is at a sustainable rate for a LONG time. I am currently trying to get about 500 products ahead so I can add 10 per day for two months.
Life has been a struggle lately with health issues and also my other career has been keeping me busy (currently working on an album and some new YouTube music videos...) but I am still moving forward with Adventure Bricks and there is lots and lots of good stuff on the horizon.
Darn you, Taxes! It isn't so much about what I owe or don't owe, it's about how long it takes to get through all of the paperwork.
SO. MANY. FORMS.
As soon as I get them in the mail, I will jump right back on the piles of new stuff and LEGO projects. I still have a few thousand products (not exaggerating) in the pipeline for this year.
So I'm in an Irish band and this is our busy season. 10 shows in 10 days - I will be fulfilling orders but I certainly won't be doing much else until next weekend! In the meantime I strongly encourage everyone to go to facebook and like my band. ;)

I am so excited that temperatures are back to normal! It certainly isn't warm or pleasant outside, but it is no longer cold enough to make the plastic brittle. I will caution people though that when you receive a package in the mail in Winter that it is always a good idea to let everything warm up first before you start moving joints, putting pieces together, etc.
As for new stuff, all I can say is that there is lots of it. I got held up the past few days dealing with the extra work that snow and heavy cold brings (digging out cars, making sure the chickens don't freeze...) and now I can get back on the 'new stuff' wagon. I think a fair guess is about ten items per day for at least a month and a half. :)
This is the coldest winter I can remember! If I wanted to live like this I would have moved to Canada. I don't think I can take much more of this.
Orders are all packed and ready to go, but I will not be taking them to the post office until the weather warms up at least ten degrees - I think that is two more days. Multiple customers have reported damage this month when their items arrived - in all cases the plastic had cracked and broken in transit. This has never happened before, but then again the temperatures have never been this low.
The current temperature outside here is 4 degrees Fahrenheit with a wind chill of 0.
I HATE WINTER. MAKE IT STOP.
My site has been bogged down all weekend. If you are trying to use the site and find that it is running slowly - you can thank facebook.
They have been 'crawling' my site all weekend for no apparent reason (training their AI?) and it is making everything really slow. I will look into permanently blocking their bots tomorrow. Boooo facebook!
Thank you to everyone for your patience! This weather was awful. It is currently 1 outside with a wind chill of -3 (That's -17 and -18 in Celsius!) Tonight will be the same, but then it will be warming slightly. As long as temperatures are near freezing it should be fine to resume mailing packages again, so on Saturday the 31st I will take all of the orders from this week and print labels and mail them out. Hopefully the weather will not get this cold again (ever!)
Always remember to warm up packages and pieces before attempting to move hands/arms/etc. If the package is very cold then the pieces could break unless they warm up first to room temperature.
I really hate Winter.
I have already had to delay orders due to this weekend's snow storm, since the mail trucks were simply stopped. Following the storm we are now getting absolutely frozen, to the point where I am genuinely afraid that parts will get damaged in transit due to the cold. This has happened before, especially on minifigures, and that was at temperatures slightly above what we are experiencing now. We are currently experiencing temperatures 15 to 25 degrees below normal for this time of year.
I am sorry for any inconvenience this causes, but obviously it is better to get your order without damage than to get it quickly and broken!
I really hate Winter.
