I love sorting! But then, I might be a bit strange… :-D

(I don’t for a heartbeat mean me with this next suggestion, so please don’t take it as a not-so-subtle way of worming my way in. ;))

If it’s an issue of time, have you considered adding a staff member that focuses on blogging about figures, if the interest is enough? It could help get that part of the hobby more exposure without tying up your “main” contributors.

It’s the latter. :-) We’ve just had too much good stuff to post and too little time. As you know, I personally still love minifigs, whether just “MOC” figs like mine or heavily customized like yours.

Keep making your great figs, and keep sending us the suggestions. Thanks!

Since you mentioned sending in suggestions…

Has TBB moved away from posting custom figures? It’s obviously a focus dear to me and I’d love to see more folks’ work featured, but I’ve sent in a few really good custom figures over the past few months that seem to have been ignored or missed– eclipseGrafx’s Robocop comes to mind.

Just wondering if it’s been a conscious decision on TBB’s part to steer more towards brick-built MOCs, whether they’re not seen as complex enough, or a case of “too much other good stuff”itis to give some love to the minifig.

No. I make my own excuses ;)

Although my real life busy stage is mostly due to the Northern Hemisphere Summer so indirectly 100% of us are affected.

Heh heh. Our excuses didn’t seem to apply universally to the Antipodes…

The remaining 14% has been very, very busy.
