Last Day of Dino Dudes 2 Kickstarter
Today is the last day of the Crazy Bricks Dino Dudes 2 on Kickstarter. The current Dino Dude suits are Carnotaurus, Dimetrodon, Ankylosaurus, Centrosaurus and Brontosaurus. You can choose a set of just the 5 costume pieces to add to your mini fogs.or a fully painted minifigure version of a single Dino Dude, or combinations of both. It’s $22 for a set of the five dino costume accessories or $22 for a single minifig of one Dino Dude. Plus more tiers.
There is still time to unlock add ons of Kaiju versions Brontosaurus and Triceratops or a new Parasaurus. These add on will cost extra. The Brontosaurus and Triceratops were part of the first run of Dino Dudes but this would be a new paint job.
check it out on Kickstarter they even have a promo video. The first series of Dino Dudes was awesome I’m looking forward to this new set.
Here’s the Fossil Triceratops suit from the first Dino Dudes.

Bro Thor’s New Asgard
Here is the Bro Thor’s New Asgard set (#76200) 265 pieces $29.99. Lots of small pieces for Thor’s home decor. I added some custom bricks to update the room. The set has many of the bricks that look like layered bricks( 1 x 2 with Masonry Profile). The masonry bricks are some of my favorite pieces. I’m glad there’s’ two colors in this set. Plus some of the Modified 1 x 2 x 1 2/3 with Studs on Side pieces used in Brick Headz. I like this set and will continue to modify it and use it as a setting in photos. Includes Thor, Korg and brick built Miek

EDIT: Event has ended. It was Amy and Jamie talking about their favorite sets and what sets they helped design. They did a blindfold build and gave out some building tips.
Captain America Update.
I have two more pieces of the Captain America Flight suit. The left wing is complete. Thanks to ebay. Beat a sniper for it. I had a pretty one price listed then checked near the end of the auction. The last minumt I decided to raise my highest bid. With less than ten seconds to go a sniper started bidding. They were just above my previous max bid. If I hadn’t raised my bid 30 seconds earlier they would have snatched wings.
I now have the stand with Redwing, all three section of the left side and part of the right.
