Howdy, y'all.
     I haven't posted in a good long time, but I would make a simple request. I
only hope I'm posting it in the right place. If not, would the moderators be so
kind as to move it to where this {should} go.

I will pay a fee to anyone willing to sell me 'The Last Airbender' Sokka and
Katara heads, [with the eyes painted black or (dark) brown.]

Even with a box of 108+ "yellow-skinned" Minifigs at home representing multiple
races, I have to admit that I'm one of the "race-bending" crowd who didn't care
for the casting of the live-action Avatar movie. (My best friend boycotted it,
even though he liked the cartoon.)

In the case of the Southern Water Tribe kids, I can't imagine the director
trying to explain why all of the tribespeople, even their grandmother, looked
like Eskimoes or Inuit, except Katara and Sokka.

By repainted to a black or dark brown color, I mean as close as possible to the
style LEGO painted the eyes (with a white reflection inside of them). I hope my
indifference has not ruined the Avatar collection for anyone who enjoyed it, or
the movie.

     Play well,
     -- James J.

Yes, Rob’s pretty clever, all right. Tons of good stuff! I think the neatest thing (so far?) he’s cooked up is actually the joint project with BrickForge to make streetlights that work. He’s doing the electronics and BrickForge did a customized streetlight post that’s two halves, and that has side connectors too... it’s a lot like



except better! :)

Trimmed the FUT a bit.

I love the customized lighting stuff! Saw lots at BW2010--all inspiring!

   Really cool, Dave! I have some Lifelites too, and I agree wholeheartedly that they are just brilliant. I would really encourage people to check out Rob’s product. (Shameless Plug) I mean, after all, if his ideas were good enough for The LEGO Company to copy, they must be pretty good! ;-)

Thanks for getting the link out there--I’m pretty bad in forgetting to do that...

Rob makes fantastic products and I think (and hope) the viewing audience’ll like the new OBB space layout with added lighting!

There’ll be more when the finances warrant. THanks to Rob for making such a fantastic product!
