HB update #2: He is standing....after an hour of struggling to attach calves to thighs, while little pieces kept scattering on the floor to places unknown...another hour searching for and reattaching said pieces from memory because hunting through 2 full books of instructions caused a state of rage deep to my core. So..now he stands above knee high (alas without knees yet), but without arms, hands, shoulders, front armor, and the all important head.

Good lord, this is gonna be a unit.

It's super chonky, for sure!

Seriously, I really do hope you post pics of this thing when it's finished.

HB update #3: he is upright, standing, with ALMOST all parts in place....there is a back of the calf 'light' that has gone missing..I know not where...the hunt has been on-going..I believe it will require some moving of furniture...or calling LEGO for replacement parts...ugh!!

HB update #4: so it appears that the great and powerful 'missing sock' Gods have hidden my missing calf light, for it is truly nowhere to be found!!

I caved and called LEGO and they are sending replacement parts, no charge, expedited...so I fully expect to magically find the missing piece the day the package arrives!!

Fingers crossed it arrives soon!

Thanks, me too!! The nice lady with the super thick French accent said 10 business days...I said 'Merci'!

To someone from England, thick means stupid.

She was clearly a ESL speaker

It means the same over here too.

After a bit over two years, I'm going back to the day shift. Overnight online shopping at the Walmart I work at is being eliminated, so it's either stocking freight or day shift.

Good luck!

Sunday night was my last night shift. I'm usually asleep right now, but I'm staying awake to basically brute-force my internal clock into my new schedule. Still, I have a feeling the next two weeks I'll be quite incoherent.

No change there then But seriously, enjoy the world with light around you when you work. It must be really difficult to worth through the night. The entertainment world is rigged against you, also the advent of PVRs must have made that so much easier. It must take discipline to not stay up all day.
