A (Belated) Happy St Paddys Day
That mischievous little Leprechaun went missing late yesterday afternoon. We found him this afternoon a little worse for wear.
Hope you all had a Happy St Patricks Day.

Star Wars - Battle of Hoth
As I said in the last post I went a little bit crackers in the toy shop this week and as well as the super Lego Truck, I also arrived home with a board game. It is actually my first Lego Board game but after playing this, I will definitely be buying more.
After the initial excitement of finding the MiniFigs were actually Micro-Mini-Figs the fun continued with building the board and the vehicles (which are great little MiniKits).
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the game itself was also really rather fun. It is a strategy game but not too difficult to get your head around. We have played it a couple of times now and of course I won all of them - but that's only because Michael knows what is good for him (and because I am always the Rebels and the goodies always have to win!)

Lego Delivery Truck
Earlier this week I went a little bit crazy in the Toy Shop and bought myself a few new Lego kits. I'd gone in to buy the new Lego City Ambulance set - as it comes with a green bicycle - and although they did have one in stock, two other things caught my attention so I left without it.
The first to make it home with me was this awesome Lego City Delivery Truck (Set 3221). With £10 knocked off its price I just had to have it!
As always Lego have done wonders with the details. It comes with 2 MiniFigures; the driver in an obligatory check shirt and the Warehouse Man in dungarees. The Cab is excellent and inside there is even a little bed and a TV. Inside the Wagon are 9 packages - Blue replica Lego boxes, of course.
Overall it is such a great addition to my ever growing Lego collection. Top marks to Lego for pulling another triumphant kit out of the bag.

Campervan
Today I got a huge surprise when Mikey arrived home with some new Lego for me, the Lego City Camper Set (7639).
It obviously doesn't come with the Storm Troopers, but Colin and Pauline were a little bashful so let Mr & Mrs Stormie take their place for the photo.
Its an absolutely wonderful set, pretty easy to build but the attention to detail is, as always, magnificent. The Campervan opens up and there are 2 chairs inside, a TV, a couple of cups and a frying pan and also a little sleeping bunk over the drivers seat. It comes with the Longboard and the red Bicycle - Stormie bought his own bike along!
This set gets a big thumbs up from me. Five Stars - despite it not being Star Wars Lego. ;-)
