Zack recently drove us to near madness.
See, in the middle of putting together the installments at the spaceport, I suddenly couldn't find Zack's minifigure. We searched high and low for him. I emptied minifig boxes completely and put them back one at a time. No Zack. The big problem being, of course, that we only had one of his head and hat.
So... having searched for nearly 2 hours with no luck, we gave up and I went to see about ordering new pieces. But that would have meant having to likely skip at least a week. So... I got out my miniature paints and made a new Zack head. Then, at Brogen's suggestion, I also painted a new hat with the Federation Star Defense logo (instead of the beaver
hat he had previously worn.) The new head was a little off... but Photoshop cleared that up pretty well. We've been using that minifigure for over a month. (I also went and ordered more parts, just to have a backup. And also because losing Zack meant I'd lost one of the red uniforms.)
But... then we shot part 34. And, while doing it... guess what I found? Zack, sitting right in the middle of the table. WHERE. I. LOOKED. (several times.) My wife openly wondered about Toy Story type shenanigans. But I don't go for such fanciful notions. I know better. Legos are just toys.
...
I'm watching you, Zack.

Swiftbow: I was able to get a broken hard drive to work (briefly) that way once. It spun up long enough for me to copy the files to another device!

ReleaseTheKracken52: The launch of this ship wouldn't be complete without Zack needing to use a hammer on something.
