Minifigures Character Encyclopedia


Oh my! Not content with making me spend my hard earned cash on another series of MiniFigures. Lego have teamed up with publishers DK to make a super new book which is a must for any Lego fan.....

Series 10 - Wooop!

Wednesday saw the arrival of Series 10 in our local toy shop.

I grabbed 6 bags - with only a quick fondle to make sure I didn't get any swapsies.  On getting home I was pleased with my detective skills.

I quickly tore open bag One.... out popped the Dave the Decorator with his cute (and easily identifiable) paint roller and bucket.


Next up....

Turtle Power

Not content with spoiling me with one Turtle.... the following day Michael came home with another surprise. (I know, I am very very spoilt!)

This time he came home with a lovely little set; 79100 - Kraang Lab Escape.

For Valentines Mikey gave me the most fantastic pressie; my first Lego Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. Not just any turtle though; my fave; the scientist/inventor, Donatello!

Spidey man, spidey man....

I bought a great set a few weeks ago from our Local Toy shop - whilst hunting down the final few series 9 MiniFigures but have failed to post about it until now.

So here it is..... Set Number 76004 - The Spider-Cycle Chase.  I have to be honest, as is often the case, I only bought the set for the MiniFigures.

The Final Two - Series 9

The last two MiniFigs which I needed proved to be very elusive.  I tried both our local toys shops and despite the kind shop owners allowing me to fondle every bag... I just couldn't find them.

The Forest Maiden should have been easy to find with her unmistakable triangular (dress) body, her shield and her bow, but still I could not find her.  I was really looking forward to her arrival as she looks pretty super and has a brand new female hair cut.

Imperial Chess

After making him play Chess everyday since I got the Kingdoms chess set, I sensed Mikey was getting a little bored of it, so using many of the figures from my Death Star (& a pair of Scout Troopers) I made a new "team" so he just wouldn't be able to refuse. ;-)

Series 9 - a 3rd serving

As soon as the Christmas Bank holidays were over it was back to the Toy Shop for me..... Phewph, there was still a box full of Series 9.  Time to fondle some bags.

First I found what was probably the Fortune Teller - easily identified by her Triangular dress (instead of Legs) and the two small pieces that are Tarot cards.  Next up was the Hollywood Starlet (aka Marilyn Monroe) again identifiable by her dress and then finding her Oscar/trophy.

... Xmas Lego Surprises continued

After an eventful Christmas morning.... my Mum popped round to give us our Christmas pressies before we joined her for lunch. As always there were lots of little goodies to be shared but we also had a main one each.  Mine was in a big square box.  I shook it. (A habit of a Lego addict!) Its didn't rattle at all. It wasn't Lego!

A Lego-ey Christmas

Phewph, despite Mikeys announcement on Christmas Eve Eve that he hadn't got me any Lego, my Christmas ended up pretty darn Lego-ey. =D

Recognising his error... he ran out on Christmas Eve and returned with a bagful of Lego.  (Plus we had also failed to realise that other people may also buy me Lego too.)
