Then I saw her face

Now I'm a Medusa!

Plutonium?! You mean this suckers nuclear?

Electrical. But I need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 jigowatts of electricity I need. The Flux Capacitor. stores it, then discharges it all at once, like a gigantic bolt of lightning! Oh, you'd better put on this radiation suit before I reload. Not that theres any danger, but it never hurts to take precautions.

Crawling in the wild

Since building it, the mighty Rock Crawler has done little more than climb cushions. Now its roaming the garden in search of obstacles to mount.

Let battle commence

Its going to be one hell of a fight between two brothers. Loki v Thor

Island warrior

The Island Warrior keeps vigilant watch over the forbidden cove of his enchanted island home. When he spots a ship sailing near, whether it flies the skull-and-crossbones or the flag of the Imperial navy, he puts on his carved wooden mask and gets ready to drive off any un-neighborly visitors.

Attack of the giant insects

Roaming across the barren land, our intrepid explorer comes across a huge fly, ripe for swatting!

Ring of fire

Last of the giveaways and its a biggie. Razar on his Speedorz leaps high through the ring of fire.

Ello, ello, ello

Bobby on the beat.

The Land of Chima

The wolf like beast Winzar, speeding through the undergrowth on his patrol scooter. Exploring the Land of Chima.

Picnic time

Settling down in the garden to a lovely picnic.

Eye in the sky

The cops are looking down on us.

You got mail!

One for Lily from the Daily Mail giveaways today. She spent ages posting and collecting the letter!

Z-95 Headhunter

Another Daily Mail giveaway. This time a fighter from the Clonewars, off to battle the Republic.

In need of a trim

Despite the heatwave, a few showers and the lawn needs a good cut. Best get the ride on mower out.

Pump faster

Bit of cheating here. The Daily Mail is once again giving away LEGO, this time for a week. Being away over the weekend I didn't hold out much hope of getting the full set. Sundays was just a voucher from the paper which Kim managed to get. But two days after the event, WHSmiths in Wokingham still had a few of Saturdays kits left and just gave one away! Its from the new Lone Ranger film, rubbish film (according to the reviews) great LEGO.

Its complete

After several evenings work, the Crawler is finally finished. Complete with flip up bodyshell to access the battery pack and full remote control. Its been driven over lots of things already including the cider that kept me going during the build!

Getting there

The chassis is now complete, from here on its bodywork building. I moved through Book 3 and started the final book last night. All thats left is to build the flip up bodyshell and then its test drive time!

The end of Book 2

Another couple of hours and another book put to bed. The chassis is now almost complete. I sneakily added the wheels and test drove it. Very impressive climbing power!

Two hours in

Like my previous big builds, I decided to limit my time building each day to prolong the enjoyment of the kit. Half the fun for me is in the build and seeing all the parts coming together. So after two hours on monday evening I finished book one and currently have a centre section, front and rear steering and drive hubs in place. Book two begins later.

Its here!

Well I got back from work to discover a big box had arrived from LEGO. Being good I waited until after all my chores before cracking the box open. 1600 parts, four motors, IR control and lights and four manuals. This is going to be a beast.

Your order has entered the country

Fortunately we are away camping this weekend, so I don't have to sit and twiddle my thumbs waiting for it to arrie.

Your order has shipped

Got an email today saying that my Limited Edition Rock Crawler has finally shipped. The result of a competition to design a new bodyshell for the extreme Technic rock crawler, it was limited to just 20000 units worldwide and was expected to sell out fast. I ordered mine just before 6am on the day it came out. They are already on eBay for over £500, more than three times the rrp.

Theres millions said Geoffrey....

There's a magical place
We're on our way there
With toys in their millions
All under one roof
It's Called Toys'R'Us!

Soon after bedtime
When dark nightime falls
Geoffrey and helpers stock up on the shelves
From ceiling to floor

Books Boardgames and Bikes
Teddies, Puppets and Dolls
Bats, Spaceships and Trikes

There's Millions says Geoffrey
All under on roof

It's Called Toys'R'Us! Toys'R'Us!
Toys'R'Us! Toys'R'Us!

Set in stone

Greek Mythology tells of a hideous beast, a woman so vile she can turn anyone who looks at her to stone.

Back to the Future Part III

Lets try and tow it up to 88mph.

Back to the Future Part II

Where we're going, we don't need roads....

OUTATIME

The famous numberplate, last seen spinning on its corner between to flaming tyre trails.

When this baby hits 88mph....

Ignore the spelling mistake on the Flux Capacitor. This is the heart of the model.

The time controls

Set the time and date, this time we're off to 28th January 1958. The day the first LEGO brick was patented.

Back to the Future Part I

Well its not quite as sleek as the original version shown, but I like the blocky style. It is LEGO afterall! Complete with the Doc and Marty.

Back to the Future Delorean - at last!

After months of waiting its finally here. Ordered the new Cuusoo model today.
