Another Superhero

Last Wednesday we went to or local toy shop where I bought myself a couple of goodies...  Firstly I grabbed  myself the 2012 Lego City Advent Calender and then another fab little Marvel set.

Now to join my Superhero collection we have the mighty....

Avengers Assembled

Back in August Mikey came home with a nice little treat for me.... Lego Set 6865 - Captain America's Avenging Cycle.  It is a nice little set, but only really bought for the Captain America MiniFig, who quickly joined Hulk on my windowsill..... Hang on did I ever actually manage to do a blog post about the super exclusive Hulk MiniFigure that came with my Death Star purchase from lego.com ... ooops... I don't think I did, in all my Death Star excitement. 

Ooops. Apologies for not blogging about these earlier.  Life kinda got in the way!

Anyway, another few treats arrived last week. Firstly the Avengers 6 Disc DVD box set. Thor is my fave Marvel Hero but I very much enjoy all the other films and love the Avengers Assemble film. 

The following day a large box arrived on the doorstep.  I quickly tore it open and out fell a little baggie with a wonderful Lego Thor MiniFig in it. Yay! I'd wanted him for so long.  He is awesome indeed. 

But not content with surprising me with Thor... there was yet more to come.  Underneath some more packaging was a Lego box.  A brand new and unopened Set 6867 - Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape   containing a splendid IronMan, a cool Loki, and  HawkEye minifig too.  To say I was a tad excited would be an understatement.  I was overwhelmed with excitement. Thanks Mikey!

Anyway, predictably the 4 main Avengers Assembled and had their picture taken. =D

The day we drove to LegoLand

We have just come back from a trip to LegoLand (Windsor) which as you can imagine was extraordinary.

En-route we met up with our good friends Kim and Robert. Robert is a fellow Lego collector and told me that he had a few spares from Series 1 if I wanted them. I only needed three to complete my collection - the Nurse, The Crash Test Dummy and the Skater. He had all three. :-) (The skater no longer had a skateboard, but I am sure I can easily remedy that).

In a very thoughtful gesture he gave me  the MiniFigs to me in this
handy (& cute) little MiniFig presentation box.

Woop!! Now my Series One is complete! Just two more to get from Series 7 and my whole collection will be complete - until the next series, obviously. ;-) 


His generosity continued when he then gave me his spare Batman set (Set 30160 - from the previous days Sun Newspaper Promotion).

My very own batman MiniFig.

It really is great to have friends that have a shared love for Lego and I have to thank them both for their generosity. If he had sold them on eBay he could have made a little packet.

So... as you can imagine I was a very happy lady as we drove towards our destination.

To be continued.....

Crime fighting Duo

Whilst in the Toy Shop on Wednesday I treated myself to something that little bit special, as well as all the Mini Figures. I didn't intend to but it just kept calling me. I had to buy it. I needed it!

My friend Rob, had bought it a few days earlier and his awesome photo's of it, made me want it even more.

So what set was it?

It was one of the new DC universe - Superheroes sets.  Superman Vs Power Armour Lex (Set 6862). Not content with providing a great new Superman mini fig (complete with hair curl) and an evil genius Lex Luthor, their was an additional bonus of Wonder Woman. What more could a girl want? As well as the fab Mini Figures, the fully poseable Robot was great fun to build and contained my first ever purple Lego bricks.

It is an absolute must for any serious Lego and Superhero fans! Hehehe... I'm such a geek!
