March snow? Bomb Cyclone? Just kill me. *sigh*

All kidding aside, we used this horrible snowy weekend to get our Brick Warriors restock finished. We also did a major photo shoot today and hopefully we'll be getting a lot of new stuff up in the coming weeks, since we are all caught up. We've got big monsters and little ones, new horses, and as always lot sand lots of minifig parts.

Also - Orc and Drow are getting complete overhauls - stay tuned!

OK, so despite the fact that winter is dragging on for an eternity, I have at least managed to get the Fire Giants done and I updated some existing monsters as well. I also added some Dragonborn/Half-Dragon pieces (wings) as individual items now, and by month's end all of the metallic dragon heads/wings/tails should be available (winter again - too cold to paint). The biggest news right now is that I have made significant progress on the Umber Hulk and it should finally be added to the site, crossing yet another monster off of my list. Following this, I am aiming for a complete Angel and Drow overhaul, since they have been very popular but also very out of stock.

I am feeling motivated today, so here is a haiku, for no real reason:

Winter keeps a tight grasp,
but the tulips are laughing,
beneath the hard ground.

It's cold. I'm unmotivated. I have a million things to do. The only plan for right now is no plan at all. I will be adding parts and pieces and new monsters in a completely random fashion as time and energy permits. As always I have tons and tons of stuff in the works, but I've given up on laying out a plan. Giants? Maybe. Dragonborn? Maybe. Angel overhaul? Probably.

AreaLight pieces are coming. Existing monsters are being improved/revised. Things are happening. I'm not putting timelines to anything because after three years I know better. :)

So just keep checking in, and you'll see some things. New things, improved things. Things.

Is it Spring yet?

We just restocked many many Brick Warriors pieces that were out of stock. In addition to this we restocked about 50 regular LEGO pieces as well. This also means that many creatures and monsters (aarakocra) that use BW pieces are also now back on the site.

We have a bunch of new creatures being added tomorrow and Saturday, including kobolds, reindeer, and NYCALOTH. :)

5000 products on the site! FIVE THOUSAND. And of course we're not done yet! It's just been slow and steady the past few weeks, and that's the gameplan for December. We're still chipping away at the Monster Manual (Bone Devil and Ankylosaurus were added, and a large Nycaloth is coming soon) as we keep adding pieces, pieces, and more pieces.

Angels and aarakocra will soon be back in stock, and we always have plenty of new monsters in the works. Also, we're about to list a whole bunch of weapons, probably the week before Christmas, along with a ton of new outfits, many of which feature Wizard Sleeves.

OK, less typing, more working!

OK, so we've been pretty lame getting new parts and pieces up in November - so far. But we just acquired a HUGE amount of LEGO pieces and the site is about to be super-duper-updated. When I say HUGE, I mean it. Like bigger than ginormous big. Gigundamous. Did I make that word up? Maybe I did, but it was the only thing that even remotely conveys how much stuff is coming. Restocks, new stuff, new monsters. I had to finish winterizing my house and my kids had 3 shows last weekend (MD Irish Festival - yay!) but that's all behind me now, and the future looks like LEGO LEGO LEGO.

It's coming. Trust me. Check back in a few days. It's going to be bigger than big.

OK, so October was all about the monsters. we added about 60 last month, but in doing so we sort of neglected parts and pieces. So starting November 5th we are going to try to add a minimum of 10 per day for the remainder of the month. We'll add more if we can and I'm sure we'll sprinkle some monsters in too along the way. We have soooo many to add there's no way we'll exhaust our supply by December. Honestly, we could add 30-50 per day and still not be caught up by December - not kidding!

So for the next 3-4 days we'll be cleaning everything up and reorganizing, and then we'll be all over it for the rest of the month.

And we *might* have a new thing coming this month, but I won't say anything more to jinx it. ;)

Monster-of-the-day? Not good enough! We realized if we did one per day that we wouldn't get done for months and months. So we're going to add a minimum of 2 per day from now until December! Our creatures will be in groups, so some days will have as many as 5 or 6. Today for instance we added 3 turtles, 2 tortoises, and a dragon turtle baby. We have all kinds of stuff from large to small, some of it is official LEGO, some of it is not, and some of it is brick-built. We will be crossing a few more off of the 'Monster Manual' list as well, so we're actually getting closer to reaching that ridiculously impossible goal!

And of course we'll continue to add new parts and pieces too! We'll make no promises on those, but we're aiming for a 5-per-day average. Some days we may add zero and other days we may add 20-30 if time permits. And we'll try to have some special releases along the way, but I won't specify anything just yet. ;)

OK, we are finally back in full swing after September's stupid flood. We are adding 1 new creature AND 5+ new parts every single day. Woohoo! I can't promise a ton of completely new creatures in terms of new monster manual creations, but I'm sure there will be a few sprinkled in here and there as I have time.

Additionally, we just restocked over 150 products of all kinds, and we have even more new stuff on the way. It feels good to be back in the saddle again.

Thanks everyone for hanging in there! We had a bit of a scare with some basement flooding, but no Adventure Bricks parts or pieces were affected. It messed up my life for a few days trying to dry off everything else that I had in that area, but I have it under control enough ow that I can safely start things up again. Yay!
