Ramses Return

First of my bargain LEGO Games. An Egyptian archaeology game. A bit like Indiana Jones v The Mummy.

LEGO Games

NCT sales. A place to pick up good second hand clothes and toys for toddlers and babies. And a place for dads to bolster their LEGO collections!

My first garden

The last of the new sets lets Lily play at planting.

Farm yard fun

Another of Lily's new sets.

Story teller

One of Lily's presents was this really cool Duplo fairy tale book. It includes pieces to make the characters from the story.

Birthday Presents

Its Lilys third birthday today and what better present to get her than a bundle of Duplo.

Yet(i) another bad day

Caught a cold the other day, turned out bad!

Pocket off-roader

Another of these funky 3in1 Creator sets. This time a custard yellow 4x4.

We plough the fields

Its harvest time. Break out the tractors.

Heavy lift

Need a hand carrying anything? Just wheel out the telelifter.

Revisiting Mindcraft

As they've just released a couple more sets. I thought it time to dig out the Mindcraft set again.

Houston, we have a problem.

The rockets too small!

Camper Tank

When the going gets tough, the Camper sprouts tracks!

Digital Love

No, not the Daft Punk track. But the love between two machines!

The End?

I picked up Ironman3 on DVD today. Is that it, is Tony Stark retiring the amamzing suit?

Brrr, its chilly

Lurking in the beer fridge, behind all the cold packs. Mr Yeti is sucking on a lolly.

Lazy saturday mornings

Nothing better on an autumnal saturday morning than a cuppa and a biscuit!

Little & Large

Two Campers, two different scales. Both cool.

Break out the tools

When something breaks, call a mechanic. If its really broken, call a welder!

15 weeks to the big day!

Don't worry, festive fever hasn't caught me. I got Santas little Elf in my latest haul of minifigures and the dates just lined up.

Nice beaver

Ok, its a cheap Naked Gun film gag!

Danger in the undergrowth

Watch out under the bushes, theres something lurking.

Flying high

Soaring like an Eagle.

Peace man!

Mr Hippy has found a Camper thats more his size!

I think something bit me!

Poor old Hazmat guy, he got too close to those Chima chaps and caught something nasty.

LEGO 392 - Formula One

Hobby sets, were LEGOs way of making a more advanced and realistic model in the mid 1970s. Moving away from the city scape and into larger vehicles they produced a series of cars, bikes and trains. It lasted for a couple of years and was replaced with the Technic range shortly after. Despite being so simple, the details are instantly recognisable.

1970s Formula One

Well its arrived. The box and instructions are in fantastic condition and apart from some yellowing stickers its perfect. Styled to look like Jody Scheckter’s 1974 Tyrrell. Its a blue and yellow blocky wonder.

70s Box art

Nowadays, you several angles of the model on the box and a little cartoony minifigure saying "hay!" In the 1970s it was basic and to the point, with the added bonus of some crazy haired kid excitedly checking out his latest purchase.

LEGO Hobby Sets

In my quest to find cool old LEGO, I hit the jackpot on eBay. Nobody else bid on it, so for £15, a 38 year old set is winging its way through the post to me.

No cliff too steep, no peak too high

Up for the challenge of scaling new heights, the intrepid climber is ready.
