User blog:MatoranIrik/Irik's First Blog - Bricklink and More

Come one, come all to the very first blog post by yours truly, MatoranIrik, in which I have almost no idea what I'm doing. XD

Also, I just lost The Game.

A mysterious package...
Today is a special day, for I have just received my very first BrickLink order in the mail! And now it's time for me to gloat over all the amazing parts that I now have.

Before I begin, I would like to point you all in the direction of the store I bought these parts from, Rainbow Bricks ! They have a nice variety of parts (although they might not have quite as much after my order...) at relatively inexpensive prices, and they ship worldwide! What are you waiting for, go check it out!

Anywho, without further ado, here are the parts I got, shown in extensive detail in a somewhat lame attempt on my part to pad out this blog post.

Well, that took way too long. Sorry about all that, guys. I would've photographed it all together, but I really don't have many open spaces to do that sort of thing.

New MOCs
So, for the past week or so, I've been working on a specific Toa MOC. However, on Thursday, I realized that I did not have the parts to finish it! I hastily sent away for the parts I needed on BrickLink, but they have not arrived yet. So, here is the MOC as it is, incomplete.

Be sure to give some comments and criticism - otherwise, how would I improve my skills?

Final Question
This is a segment that I hope to add to every blog post that I make from now on. A question, to interact with whoever is reading this!

So, we all (hopefully) know that Toa and Matoran of Light are able to refract light to change their coloration. So, the question is, What do you think would be an interesting and creative color pattern for a Toa of Light?

I personally think that Metru Blue alongside either Metru Red or purple would be very interesting. But I am here for your thoughts, not mine. So, what do you think?

And with that, I end my first blog post.
