[Lego] So, I just got these three sealed Bionicle canisters...


Wait, don't I already own a copy of Kalmah and Pridak? Yes, I already own a copy of these two.

In some rare cases I purchase multiple copies of a set I already own. The reasons for which do differ from time to time, but aside from that, the story of how I got my first copy of Kalmah, Pridak and Ehlek is an interesting one. It isn't one of those "I bought the sets when they were sold back then" nor was it that "I bought them on the aftermarket when I got older". It was gifted by a LEGO® employee when I was a teen in 2007.

While I would love to go in-depth about what happened during that event, for privacy sake I won't delve into it much. What I can tell is that I was given the opportunity to present a custom packaging design for the company, which I did take, and in return I received those three Barraki sets together with a handwritten card.

[EMS] Level 247!


Alright, another level up!

I've been back at having a daily grind with the currently ongoing "The Story of Pebble and Wind" event, as the event grind seems to be a recurring norm nowadays. Hey, if there's a coin shop, I'll be doing that daily grind. Gotta get those Nodestones somewhere, right?

It seems I'm not strong enough to efficiently grind for EXP in Mysterious Fog 1 yet. This map has been on my mind ever since I got access to Moonbridge earlier this Summer. With level penalties being a thing again, I'm always searching for potential map alternatives once I outgrow my usual spot (Shadowdance Hall 4) at Level 260. That map is probably still among the better maps in the Arcane River in terms of platforming, subdued color palette, mob density and map size, but there will be one day where I can no longer go there for grinding out event stuff.

That's it for today - I'll see you guys again next post!
