Go Ka-GO Go

Citizens,

I'm breaking radio silence to announce that I'll be submitting the occasional article to the Ka-GO LEGO blog. True to our efforts here I'll continue to cover the scene with interviews in the 'Behind the Build' style.

Right now I have an interview with Pedro around his amazing mod of the Hazel Fantasy Emile armor.

Join us in AFOLville and continue to fight for the cause. The 'Nation' lives on...

Great Interviews at Ka-GO Blog

The Ka-GO blog scored a great interview with Mike Napolitan, who we put the spotlight on last week. Mike's rendered depictions of Marvel minifigures are absolutely fantastic and ka.lego gets the skinny on how it's done.

Ka.lego has quickly shown himself to be an adept writer with a great eye for blogworthy topics. So if you read only one LEGO blog everyday...read The Ugly Duckling. If you read two, however, read UD and Ka-Go's blog.

If you're at Bricks by the Bay this weekend, say hello to 'Ka' he'll likely be wearing one of these great t-shirts of his own design.

Black Lodge Customs for Bricks by the Bay Announced

Badger has announced the two Black Lodge Customs figs that he'll be bringing to Bricks by the Bay next weekend. Fans will be able to pick up a redesigned version of the Neo-Tokyo Street Punk and the all new Royal Rifleman. 

You get quite a bit in each package. The Street Punk offers up several BrickArms custom accessories, including four prototypes, for $25 USD, while the new Royal Rifleman at $15 USD gives you an opportunity to score a prototype musket along with other goodies.

Badger makes mention that the Heavy Laser Cannon prototype mold suffered some damage while producing these figs, so the value of these babies just went way up!

The figures will be on sale at the Brickmania booth on Friday and will be first come, first served.

Bricks by the Bay will be the first major AFOL convention of the season and starts next weekend. If you would like to learn more about the event, check out the interview with Bill Ward on the Ka-GO blog (a seriously good AFOL site that Ka.lego has just started).

You can see more about the Black Lodge Customs on Badger's Flickr stream.
