@Bio: I know exactly how you feel. It takes hours and hours of trying to go to sleep, and when you finally do it's restless and uncomfortable. Even when you're unconscious the thoughts that kept you awake are still somehow racing through your head. The stress and sleep depravation culminate in sickness. It's one of the worst feelings in the world, but it could be worse. Trust me. It gets much much worse. So you basically just have to stick through it. It's hard and seems to take ages, but it will eventually pass. Unless it's chronic depression, but I don't think you have that.

Not the constant 'hint begging', like a little kid at Christmas. Which I neever partake in?

:o)

@Bio: so sorry

@Hikaro: glad things are coming along with the house finally!

I've spent my day working on getting over a major sinus headache ... just in time to go back to work tomorrow, woohoo ...

Nope. That doesn't bug me at all. BFF members do it with style. I will say I am really proud to have been so deeply involved in the molds I have commented on. Once they see the light of day, maybe I can give some insight on some of the work that went into getting them completed. As I have found out, it is way more difficult than just suggesting a color or item.

Secret project has had more progress also. I'm pretty excited about that. My hint for that is "I'm going old skool"

While I am excited by new products I feel I have to say... LATE NEXT YEAR!?!?! I'm going to hope/assume that those will not be the only new products of 2013. I know you can't rush greatness but I'm impatient. Let's not forget I am the guy who grumbles about waiting all of a day to get my BF packages. When these new products are released, I know I would love to hear how you helped and on which ones.

Machetero, I think you may love this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12PWq22E9CQ

Well...That was... interesting...
The young lady in the pink dress needed more screen time. Also, that is a great AC3 costume.

THERE HAD BEST BE HOCKEY EQUIPMENT. That is all I have to say.

So... I killed four grunts with one sniper rifle round last night.
Also, playing KOTOR 2 again, this game is still amazing.

Oh, and

"Late next year" is my way of tricking myself into thinking they will be coming out later than they will be. This particular group of molds was supposed to be out by the end of this year. One of the reasons it got pushed back was because of other molds coming along and bumping them out of the way. As frustrated as I was and as awesome as the molds that have been released were, it ended up buying BrickForge time in being able to develop a better game plan at the end of the day. These will definitely not be the only things to come out in 2013. BrickForge has moved way beyond releasing only a few molds per year. The timing is what is the most frustrating for me as well as you guys. I don't even know when the next stuff will be released, but there are a few molds coming before the one I have been referencing that I know people will love. Also, there are screen printed items that I have seen that still have yet to hit the store. I think some were visible in that photo Armothe put up in the BF Flickr stream. If I were to give any hint about what is coming in the next few molds, it would be "innovative". I know that's not much of a hint, but some of the stuff uses techniques BF has never done yet and others are ones I have yet to see anybody in the hobby do yet.
