Maybe? I’m pretty sure I was on this guy’s website for the first time recently, but it could just be coincidence. I can’t remember how I ended up there.
@bengood921 We talked about his site in the course. He does an annual top 100 parts list, as well as has free labels for all the parts.

Ha, me n Rachel were amused by this, btw. So you know at least that I was paying attention in class, even if I didn’t quite retain every detail.
Do we know anything yet about 2022 Q1 AFOL Day?
I haven’t seen anything yet about AFOL Day, but will let you know as soon as I do.
Saw this on TBB (posted on January 10). Creating Pittsburgh at this scale would be really neat and a natural extension of what Bob, Dan, and others have already started.
So you guys all heard the meteor boom on New Year’s Day? I ask cause I was in Illinois, so I missed it 🙁 I feel like I missed part of Pittsburgh history, although I’m wondering if it was really all that exciting. I found out about it cause Google feeds me local news stories on my phone, and eventually (once NASA confirmed that it was probably a meteor), it got national news coverage.

What’s “this”…? The thing Josh posted?
have we talked about this yet?
What boom? Not much of one since I slept through it and usually sonic disturbances wake me up quite easily.
Also, new Lego City train set confirmed for midyear 2022. Some sort of high speed train, not the little one that just came out. Any word on a new cargo train or Creator expert train since they discontinued the neat Crocodile? Never enough trains for my fleet. Never enough space for them either but that’s a different matter. LOL
It was at 11:30am so might already have been awake. I didn’t feel it, but my Southern California wife who is attuned to the earth moving felt it. It was southeast of the city so up here in the north we didn’t hear it.

issa big website, Tim… 😉
Oh you must mean THIS one: https://www.brothers-brick.com/2022/01/10/honey-i-shrunk-the-harbour/
My apologies @philmatt24, I thought I had posted the direct link. Sorry about that. Yes, that is exactly to what I was referring.
Seattle Kraken is such a cool name, but I think they really missed an opportunity to have a cool logo. If they had designed a Goliath cephalopod, I would have loved to have their jersey.
From what I’ve seen, it’s generally been regarded as a pretty cool logo and aesthetically pleasing jerseys. I think in this case, the subtlety probably will hold up better in the long run than would aggressive tentacles everywhere.
My sadness comes from their decision not to stick with the blue+green color scheme traditional for most Seattle teams (SuperSonics being the exception, but they sadly are gone.) Most likely, this is due to the Vancouver Canucks’ (an organization known for monumentally inconsistent uniform / logo / color scheme decisions) return to their original blue+green, and Seattle’s desire to distinguish themselves from their presumed geographical rivals.
I do think that, while I initially was skeptical of their choosing to use multiple shades of blue, this works pretty well.
However, while the red is minimal, it does place them in the camp of “now there are eight teams with Red+White+Blue uniforms” (and eleven whose primary jersey color is blue – not counting the Sharks’ teal.)
But just imagine if that red eye were Seahawk green!!
LOL, I like @willmcdine ‘s crane + bus idea WAYYYYYYYYYYYY more than the feeling I got when you first posted this.
now that I’ve had a few days to recover from the emotional damage, I do kind of see it as a case for procrastination…had we not rebuilt it, we’d have a very topical piece ready for display!
…but only because no one died. That would have been in bad taste otherwise.
and now that I think about it…….a technic crane set dangling a PAT bus would TOTALLY be great for the science center display……..
after I posted that last night, I went to bed and thought I should clarify, my emotional reaction was just to the destruction of our LEGO ravine and having to rebuild it, at least twice. I didn’t want to rebuild/break it again. that was all.
I am not proposing breaking the LEGO bridge, but agree we should make a PAT bus dangling from a crane.
Also, with my comment “Life imitates art” (a reversal of art imitating life) I wanted to include pictures of the rescue operation at Greenburgs’ Train Show, but only found a photo of the intact bridge.
SuperSonics being the exception
They could have followed the Sonics’ color scheme and had primarily green with a yellow eye and black/white trim. That would have been evocative of the ocean and also a nice nod to the Sonics.

That would’ve been interesting too.
I guess not every city can be as in-sync with their sporting clubs’ colour schemes as we are here in the Burgh…
