The other day I found the new Rocket Raccooon Hot Wheels Character car at Target. This is the second Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 car that I have found. I’m on the hunt for other ones like Yondu, Nebula and Mantis but am happy that I found Rocket. This is a new redeco of the car with a more Blue and other dark colors theme to it that reflects his look in the new movie. I also decided to open the Baby Groot Go-Kart car as well. This one has a Groot face on it and then long tendrils off the back with red Ravager uniform accents to it. These are both decent cars. Check them out up close in the video.
Also in the video I mention that I hear my neighbors cavorting and screaming and yelling. I mention this a couple of times in the video and then when I listened to the video and I did not hear them. So now I sound crazy.
In July of 2014 I had the most amazing trip of my life in Social Media. I got to go to California to see Guardians of the Galaxy and interview the cast. To this day it is my absolute favorite movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Maybe it was interviewing Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista or James Gunn, maybe it was cooking with my good friend Chris Lewis of Dad of Divas and even more great fun things. It was just the most incredible experience and so the Guardians of the Galaxy will always be a part of what I love about the movies. I have been eagerly awaiting the release of GotG Vol. 2. It was released last night and I haven’t seen it yet. I don’t even know when I’m going to get to see it. I hope it is soon.
In the meantime I have been building all my Guardians of the Galaxy LEGO sets. I’ve made some stop motions movies and also some timelapses of the builds. The builds have been fun. I’ve enjoyed building the sets and stop motion shorts. Thinking of something funny each time has been a challenge but also fun to try. I love the humor of the movies and hoped that I made something fun to watch.
Today I built set #76081 which is the Milano vs The Abilisk. This set has Star-Lord, Baby Groot, Gamora, Drax and Nebula. They are cool minifigs. I’ve now done all 3 of the sets and have the whole team and the baddies, but the one figure that is not part of any of the sets is Ego. I’m hoping that another set is going to come out later, maybe because it contains a spoiler. I’m not sure. I still want a Kurt Russell Minifig.
I tried something different with the timelapse today. I hope that you enjoy it. No time for stop motion, though.
