Kingdom Hearts: Guard Armor Encounter A scattered dream like a far-off memory. A far-off memory like a scattered dream. I want to line the pieces up-- yours and mine. Kingdom Hearts and LEGO were just meant to be. From its creation in 2002, this Disney crossover game has captured the hearts of many young and old. The game follows a boy named Sora, the Keyblade Master, in his travels to many Disney worlds, alongside Donald Duck and Goofy, ridding the worlds of dark creatures called Heartless. The game's lighthearted and colorful worlds yet deep themes are accessible to all ages, and would make a great theme for a LEGO set. This set depicts the Guard Armor battle at Traverse Town, an early scene from the game and the first boss Sora fights alongside Donald and Goofy. The Guard Armor has articulation in arms, legs, fingers, and has a rotatable head. Included in this project would be an alternate build instructions and head for the Reverse Armor, a transformed version of the Guard Armor boss fought in the game.
The Gizmo Shop includes multiple functions. The top purple gear turns the face of the clock, changing the time; the blue gear rings the bell, and the green crank turns the giant gear on the side. There is also a flick-launcher for the Red Nocturne, where you can launch it over the Gizmo Shop. There are two boxes outside the Gizmo Shop: one with HP orbs and the other with MP orbs. Also included is a brick with the red trinity symbol blocking the bell, for Sora, Donald, and Goofy to team up and perform a trinity move to knock down the wall. The Keyhole plate turns from a painting of two trees, to coincide with the ringing of the bell as in the game. Sora's Keyblade is a gold 18673 piece, used as the Inquisitor's lightsaber in Star Wars: Rebels. This set would make a great toy to celebrate the release of Kingdom Hearts III. This set with both playable features and good-looking and fun builds would make a great addition to anyone's LEGO collection, appealing to fans of LEGO and Kingdom Hearts young and old.
And check out my other projects: In the spirit of Valentine's Day... How can I build a two-dimensional LEGO heart? Here is an example of the shape I'm looking for. Perhaps the model should be built from the bottom upward? I would prefer that some Red Slope 45° 2 x 2 bricks (and their inverted counterparts) be used to achieve this. The size of the finished model should not be much bigger than one's hand. If you live near a LEGO store you might have enough time to pick up the seasonal Valentines set 40004-1: Heart: If you're short on parts, you can build a basic heart out of 2x2 and 2x4 bricks for a truly brick-style: You can always smooth out the edges with red 2x2 sloped tiles and a few cheese slopes: I came up with the following design: Using the following parts:Browse other questions tagged building or ask your own question. Welcome back to Part 3 of my little Lego series. So far I have blabbed about the build buckets and the build table, but I know what you really have been waiting for.
What in the world did we end up doing with all of those big bins of Legos? Well, be ready for a picture filled post to find out! First, I have to mention, we have been accumulating Legos for YEARS. In fact, my husband had a giant bin of them under our stairs for the longest time, just waiting for our boys to grow old enough to play with. Not to mention, as you know we have three boys, so what is always the easiest gift choice at holidays and birthdays? This project started out with four large Rubbermaid bins full of Legos, along with the craft drawers we attempted to use as storage as well. {we only had one small cart and it just wasn't big enough for our growing collection}. My initial reaction was to sort out the pieces by type. Bricks, boards, wheels, etc... They wanted things done by color. They were so nicely reminded it was going to be their duty to maintain whatever new system we implement and that the whole point was to make building easier and more fun for them.
So I let it be their choice on how things were done, and sorting by color won. The next step was to come up with the best way to containerize all of the pieces by color. I instantly knew the IKEA Trofast system was the way I wanted to go, but I did try and think up other alternative solutions... I had nothin', so Trofast it was! Then came the REALLY fun part. OK, not so much fun. But we tried our hardest to enjoy it. We all sat together, surrounded by bins, watched movie after movie for an entire day and a half until it was done. I had the boys help me for 75% of the time. I figured if they were part of the sorting process, they would appreciate it more and be more apt to help maintain all their hard work. It's been a couple of weeks now and I am happy to report, so far SOOO good! When it came to labeling the bins, I sat on this one for awhile. I wanted to do vinyl with my Silhouette. And I wanted the words on the front to be the same color as the blocks in the bins.
So when I looked online and in stores at vinyl prices, I about had a heart attack. 10 bins at $7 minimum a color... um no thanks. I did some research and heard about adhesive backed cardstock. Again, $5 per color and not every color I needed. Then it hit me! I could use regular colored cardstock, cut the words out with my Silhouette, and adhere them to the fronts of the bins myself, all while saving a TON of moolah over the alternative options! Whew, almost struck out, that was close! So that's what I did. I started cutting out letters from each color of cardstock. The best part of this was that I could use shades of the color that I liked vs. the harsh, primary color that Legos usually are. I used Dr. Seuss shaped font, it is for a playroom after all! To adhere the letters, I wanted something that would last. And look clean and resemble the look I would have gotten with the vinyl. So I went with Mod Podge in a matte finish {which is the same finish of the Trofast bins}.
I used some painters tape to give myself a straight line to work with and to ensure the letters were placed in about the same location on each bin. Then, I used a brush to "paint" on some Mod Podge, stick the letter on the bin, and then Mod Podge over the letter to really make it stick. Don't worry as you are doing this... it gets worse before it gets AMAZING.... Once all of the Mod Podge dried, you wouldn't have even known it was there to begin with! The only items we didn't do by color were the boards and little people. The boards got a large Trofast bin, the people got a smaller storage box. So did all the manuals. Again, I hashed out manual storage options. I originally was going to binder them into plastic page protectors. But I know my boys. I imagined that over time, they would take the manual out and it wouldn't easily find its way back. So they now just get piled in a storage box and it's done. I am very OK with that since I want it to be easiest for them to maintain.
When it comes to the "builds" they create, sometimes they like to keep them for a little while {however, they play with Legos because they love to create and build, so they don't seem to be too concerned about keeping their sets together for long periods of time}. I wanted to give them a place in their new playroom to begin displaying their creations, so we installed some inexpensive shelves above the Lego storage bins. Up until now, they have never really had a place to display their projects, which is why you don't see anything up there right now. But now they have a place should they want it. For the time being, I just shopped around the house for items to prop up on the shelves as placeholders, along with some free kid's printable art I found through the lovely world of Pinterest. Ready to see the whole Lego wall in all it's organized glory? We are so incredibly smitten with how the whole entire project turned out. We now have a place that the boys can build and create and the storage is both functional, yet dressed up to blend in and become part of the decor.
