Dumdum: /* Added tax dollars banner */ new section

==Adding Bionicle?==
Chris actually had a Bionicle page on his old site, which was lost during one of the hackings. About 10% of the slideshow is just his Bionicle creations. It's one of those things we've never really delved into (like [[Hot Wheels]] for instance) because there's so many more worthwhile pursuits in analyzing Chris, but for the sake of completeness, we could mention something.

Thing is, should it be included in here or should it be given a separate page? I'm not a huge Lego fan so those who are might want to weigh in. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 00:57, 5 October 2009 (CEST)

I was a huge Bionicle fan back in 2001, I even recall learning the Bionicle alphabet! I haven't seen any Bionicle stuff by Chris, and the slideshow does not contain any Bionicle material. So I think adding a small paragraph dedicated to it will suffice. --[[User:Bystander|Bystander]] 08:07, 6 October 2009 (CEST)

==Enlighten bricks==
[http://krapplekomputerkompany.com/cwc/?reply=24667 Over at Krapple], someone noticed that one of Chris's Lego sets is in fact a ripoff and it's likely that Bob and Barb pasted the LEGO logo over the ripoff logo. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 22:45, 25 September 2009 (CEST)

Never thought it'd see 启蒙 Brick and Chrissy in the same website, let alone same picture.
The notion that Bob would alter the logo to read LEGO is odd, but possible.
It's more likely his dad got duped by buying it in an immigrant run toy store. That, or he bought it online (which I doubt even though he ''is'' good at cutting the internet down).
Or one of the various toy stores in Charlottesville got duped.

But yeah, it's a common practice for third parties to alter product logos to fool silly westerners into thinking a product is produced by a notable brand instead of being a cheaper knock-off. --[[User:Ror|Ror]] 00:36, 26 September 2009 (CEST)
*Indeed. I know the local 99 cent store sells counterfeit Yu-Gi-Oh cards (99 cent for one of those two double decks, yet you can tell it's clearly not official) in addition to brands like "Panasemic" and "Somy" brand batteries that look nearly identical to "Pansaonic" and "Sony", so now that you mention it, it's possible someone is going to the trouble of making knockoff Lego products look like the real deal. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 00:42, 26 September 2009 (CEST)
**That sort of thing is apparently very common with gaming consoles too [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIR53H-syM4 (like this PSP ripoff)], I'm not surprised there's LEGO knockoffs out there. And with Chris being as gullible as he is, I wouldn't be surprised if he's never noticed it's not LEGO. [[User:SirCucumber|SirCucumber]] 01:01, 26 September 2009 (CEST)

Here's a good (english) side-by-side comparison of 启蒙 Brick to official LEGO brand bricks http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/18382. The details are similar, but there are just small noticeable differences. The most obvious one with the police station set Chris has is the shooting range, and the guns the officers carry.
Shifty (the owner of "Enlighten") has copide mainly from LEGO aside from it's Century Military line.
Otherwise the police sets and others are direct clones of LEGO sets.

I'd assume Chris would notice the cheaper plastic seeing as LEGOS are made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic and Shifty's are more akin to the Canadian MegaBlocks brand.--[[User:Ror|Ror]] 01:18, 26 September 2009 (CEST)
*<s>That's assuming that Chris at least has some genuine LEGOs kicking around... does he even have any actual LEGO or is there the chance that all of it is cheap knockoff stuff?</s> Never mind, I forgot he had the set with the 'Octan' signs. [[User:SirCucumber|SirCucumber]] 01:22, 26 September 2009 (CEST)

Plus the Infomaniac Minifig, which was a Lego Island 1 exclusive.--[[User:Ror|Ror]] 01:31, 26 September 2009 (CEST)

==To do==
Probably mention the use of Legos, like in some of his [[DVD]] stuff, and point out the Legos in Chris's room. Also, talk about the Lego CWCville (there's quite a few pictures from the DVD Slideshow). --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 16:55, 28 August 2009 (CEST)

As a Lego maniac in my youth, I am willing to identify and work on this article. --[[User:Bystander|Bystander]] 02:29, 26 September 2009 (CEST)

I will work on some graphics for this article a bit later, for now I just replaced the info on the 启蒙 Bricks police set with more researched info. If there isn't an article on the Mario Kart Raceway yet, that would be a good article to create. --[[User:Ror|Ror]] 03:39, 26 September 2009 (CEST)

The article's looking great already! Does anyone know what those banners in the 0431-CWCNuculus.jpg say? I wonder if it's possible to get a transcript of those, they look really damn blurry... [[User:SirCucumber|SirCucumber]] 03:44, 26 September 2009 (CEST)

=On a partially-related note...=
On the subject of Chris' parents being cheap as fuck, note that in the 2005 xmas picture Chris also received some fucking Gumby shovelware game for GBA.
*The above post was written [[User:CorbeauNoir]]. Make sure you sign all posts. --[[User:Fuckingstupid|Fuckingstupid]] 16:21, 13 December 2009 (CET)
Remember though Chris with his weird tastes in games (barby) would probably ask for it for Christmas. --[[User:Shawths|Shawths]]
==Dating on the Gallery Pix==

I changed the first one from 1992 to say "Christian's 14th birthday". This is based on the file name. Chris would have turned 10 years old in 1992. On an unrelated note, between February and December is when Chris grew that molester mustache. --[[User:Anaconda|Anaconda]] 16:43, 24 December 2009 (CET)

== Add the "High school" from 2013? ==

Wondering, since it hasn't been added, but should the newest Chris video, his entire fake Manchester High lego set, also be included in this article? Maybe someone forgot to do, or there's not a reason to do so. That's why I'm asking. --[[User:The World Is Yours|The World Is Yours]] 12:48, 10 November 2013 (PST)

:No, go ahead and add it. Usually it takes a while before new content is added because no-one feels like doing it [[User:Eamoo|Eamoo]] 05:11, 11 November 2013 (PST)

== Added tax dollars banner ==

I just felt the page needed the tax dollars banner. Feel free to undo the edit if you guys feel the banner from the bigger "Toys" article is enough.

[[Image:118-LegoCWC.jpg|thumb|Chris is just as fail in his Lego form as in any other.]]

'''Lego''' is a brand of plastic building block [[toys]]. They are noted for their durability and ease of use, allowing the creation of almost anything imaginable. Needless to say, [[Chris]] has relied heavily on Lego blocks to put his [[Electric Hedgehog Pokemon|creations]] into reality. They were a staple gift during his childhood [[Christmas]], his late teens, and his early twenties. Even today, they remain a centerpiece of his life, with Chris spending literally hundreds of dollars on Lego sets.

== Chris's Minor Lego Brick Creations ==

* [http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Mailbag "Heavy-duty case"] to hold his [[Card_games#Pok.C3.A9mon_TCG|''Pokémon'']] card decks, acknowledged by Chris as one of his most noteworthy [[inventions]] (also held together with tape).
*[[PlayingHouse|A model family]] with him, [[Jackie]], [[daughter|Crystal]] and [[Reginald Chandler|Reginald]].

Chris has also found other uses for his Lego blocks besides simply building stuff. In his [[Vivitheg's AIM chat|AIM chat]] with [[Vivian Gee]], he noted that he uses his Lego figurines to "rehearse" imaginary conversations with women.

== Chris's Major Lego Brick Creations ==
Beyond any doubt, the most notable creation Chris has ever constructed with Legos is the model city of [[CWCville]] that was on display in his room for years, and that was where Chris pieced together many ideas that would later wind up in the [[Sonichu]] comics. At one point, CWCville consumed almost a third of his room. Chris himself eventually dismantled much of it. Neophyte Christorians may be surprised to learn that CWCville itself, however, is ''not'' the most influential creation in Chris's litany of Lego creations, however...

That award goes to his [[CWC Lego Manchester High School Oct 18 2013|Lego Manchester High School]].

[[Image:14305011100 debcde366f b.jpg|Chris's Model of Manchester High School, after it had been damaged by the fire.|thumb]]

A sizeable, sprawling building made from over a dozen Lego sets, this is, without a doubt, one of the largest, most expensive, and most important (to him, at least) creations Chris has ever worked on, a clear attempt to indulge himself in better days by reminding him of when he was still in high school, when he had [[gal-pals]] friends of a sort and was [[List of places that have banned Chris|tolerated by society]], before his innocence was shattered during his [[Graduation]]. By all accounts, Chris got it built up literally days before the tragic news that his [[gal-pals]] were only hanging around him out of pity, and it was equally-tragically one of many things irrevocably lost during the [[Destruction Of Chris's House]]. A general accounting shows that the Lego Manchester High model cost him about $1000.

Chris has since thrown absolutely everything at not only rebuilding his model School, but improving and expanding it. How much of this is a desire to rebuild what was lost, how much of this is an addiction, and how much is an attempt to lose himself in memories of the past is uncertain, but given the increasingly-terrifying steps Chris has taken to preserving it, as is evidenced below, it is extremely clear that it's a symptom of a much bigger and more pressing problem, as listed below.

== Influences in the Comics ==
Inspired by his [[Mario Kart 64 Lego Raceway|''Mario Kart 64'' Lego Raceway]], [[Sonichu]] and [[Rosechu]] have a pair of Lego go-karts [[:File:SchuComic9P35.jpg|in their garage]], the only vehicles they are shown to possess.

== Qi Meng Bricks Police Station set==
[[Image:Comparisonsmall2.jpg|thumb|One of these things is not like the other...]]
In one of Chris's birthday photos he is seen holding what appears to be a new Lego "6332-1 - Command Post Central".<ref>Link to Peeron page on set [http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/6332-1 "6332-1 Command Post Central"]</ref> Upon further inspection it is apparent that is merely a rebranded Qi Meng (启蒙, "Enlighten") Bricks "POLICE SERIES" set which is almost a direct clone of the original Lego set. Presumably the Qi Meng Bricks logo was altered by a third party and replaced with "LEGO bricks". Chris's parents probably bought it relatively cheap at a discount store that carries knock-off brands, so it's not like they were shopping for a quality present for Chris in the first place. It should be noted that Qi Meng Bricks are much more fragile than Lego and are of generally [[Liquid Chris|much poorer quality]] than Lego sets are, something that probably went unnoticed by Chris.

==Kre-o==
[[File:Chris Lego.jpg|thumb|left|100px|This one figurine was built out of at least $100 worth of sets.]]

To no surprise, Chris bought a rival Lego set made by Hasbro (the company behind [[Transformers]] and [[My Little Pony]]) called Kre-o. Chris specifically bought the $50 [[Optimus Prime]] set and used one of the human figurines combined with Lego parts to make a Frankenstein's monster minfig of himself. A ''highly'' amusing note is that Chris's minfig, due to its being from multiple sets, is significantly shorter than other minfigs, which Chris has accounted for by affixing platform shoes (read: small block) to his feet to make him seem taller and more in-line with other minfigs.

This version of Lego Chris was last seen 11 [[January 2013]] on [[Facebook|Chris's Facebook]] depicting his Lego self as a fallen angel of sorts. It also now sports a [[Tomgirl Saga|ponytail]].

==Addiction and Financial Ruin==
[[File:LegoSnorlax.jpg|thumb|[[Snorlax]]]]
As time has gone on, it's become increasingly apparent that Chris has been spending insane amounts of money on Lego sets. Initially, many had written this off as an attempt to rebuild his Manchester High School project following his house catching fire, but as time has gone on, it's become far more apparent that he's simply feeding an addiction - if not trying to [[Chris and Reality|escape from reality entirely]] by burying his head in happier times, and has spent somewhere in the vicinity of five thousand dollars on recently-acquired Lego sets.

This is on top of [[May 2014 Facebook Posts|essentially begging friends and Facebook acquaintances for money]], and posting a wishlist of Lego sets he wanted from them. One of the sets on his wishlist was a Spongebob-themed set retailing for around ''$300'', leading even [[William Elliott Waterman]] to call him out on his greed for expecting anyone to spend this much money on him for any reason, let alone to buy him luxuries. As time went on and Chris posted images of his damaged Manchester High Project, several noticed a huge number of empty boxes near the melted mock-school: sets that are all ''incredibly recent releases''. Fittingly enough, the CWCki's team of [[Trolls|impartial observers]] began to attempt to answer a very simple question:

''Just how much is Chris's addiction to these damned things costing?''

To further breakdown the expense of this project, Chris's new MHS model incorporates about 10 Lego Friends Heartlake High Sets - which retail for about $50 each. There are multiple furnishings in the MHS model that ''only'' come in a specific Simpsons box set - one that retails for about $200. This same set is also the only one that provides pieces for a miniature that Chris turned into [[Sandy Rosechu]], which confirms the initial price. Just for MHS ''alone'', Chris has spent over $700. When one factors in incredibly expensive kits like the [[Optimus Prime]] set he was confirmed to have (over $160), a Batman set he was likewise confirmed to have ($50), and the Temple of Light set he's confirmed to have, that's ''over a thousand dollars''. Other recent identifications that show what Chris has acquired include a $60 Batcave set, a $75 scale model White House, and multiple [[My Little Pony|Equestria Girls]] sets.

By all accounts, Chris has spent at least '''''Five Thousand Dollars''''' on Lego since the Branchland Court fire. This is on top of the $800-1200 he spent on creating his MHS project the first time. One might make the argument that this is one of his many steps in repairing [[CWCville]], but it's just as likely that Chris has developed an honest-to-god addiction that can and will prove financially ruinous to him.

If this is indeed an addiction of sorts, it likely has origins in [[Barbara|Barb's]] hoarding, and her bribing Chris with toys when he was young in order to coax him into speech. While it [[Chris and money|existed in other forms]] prior to these events, the stress triggered by the loss of [[Bob Chandler|his father]], [[Destruction Of Chris's House|his home]], [[Simonla#Simonla_as_the_Lynchpin|and even the sanctity of his personal retreat]] have intensified his hoarding of Lego as a way to escape his bleak present situation - which is in-keeping with his family's habit of [[Greene_County_School_System#The_aftermath|running away]] [[28 October 2011|from their problems]] - and given it an unnerving therapeutic quality that it didn't seem to have before.

The fact that Chris has spent thousands on Lego alone is absolutely horrifying, especially when one takes into account the fact that his financial situation is so dire that he has been reduced to begging for donations on Facebook to get by. Rest assured, good reader: no one on the CWCki takes any joy in this. Whether due to genuine addiction or a misguided attempt to lose himself in fantasy, Chris is at the precipice of a truly dreadful situation, one that is unfortunately [[Chris and health|only]] [[Chris and anger|one]] [[Chris and reality|more]] [[Chris and his ego|thing]] for which he desperately needs professional help. Not only does he risk further financial difficulty if he continues to spend beyond his means like he is, his compulsive hoarding may become as physically dangerous as his mother's has. What he faces is a disease, and it deserves to be treated as such.

Sadly, Chris will [[Chris and his Ego|never admit to there being any problem]].
