new found hobby, apart from facebooking

It started somewhere last week, baby just told me that during his growing years he had always thought that Lego was the coolest toy anyone could have. Looking at his pup dog eyes, I suddenly said it "hey, it's never too late for a birthday present!". And so, that was what I got him. But the ones I got him was a not-so-cool basic lego set. After awhile of building (and yes, that's what we do for kicks), we got tired of it, and it was left to collect dust in the corner.

Then, last weekend, in Penang we got ourselves a absolutely, totally cool set each. I got him the Tow Trasher Racer model he wanted, and he got me a wicked Hydraxon by the Bionacles. And so we build. Took us slightly more than 2 hours to complete the models. It's like an awesome 3D puzzle i've always wanted.

After that day, we vowed to only allow ourselves a model each every month. But yesterday I thought real hard. I suggested that if we got ourselves that (see below) model for almost 400 bucks and share it, as in build it together, because it is not only HUGE (half a metre in length) but HARD to build as well, it will take us weeks before we are done. That's not too bad huh?

It's so cool, I'm afraid I am willing to throw cash for it. At least at this stage.
