Series 5 Completed - With an additional bonus

Yay! Today I finally completed my Lego Mini-Figure Series 5 collection, again with HUGE thanks to Ali, who sent me one of her swapsies.... the elusive (to me) Eskimo Fisherman. I was so excited when she said she had found a second one, just for me.

But I was even more excited when a parcel too big for just a mini-fig arrived. I quickly tore it open to find a Lego Mini Kit - the Republic Attack Cruiser (30053). Oh my.... I couldn't believe my eyes.

Within seconds I was sat cross legged on the floor building it. It was awesome. Thank you Ali. Thank you Amy. You are both so generous. :-)

Bernard

Today the Mini Fig that I wanted most desperately (from Series 5) arrived courtesy of Ali and Amy.

He was the one that I just couldn't find myself, despite hours of fondling Lego bags in the Local toy shop, in Tescos and in WHSmiths.  I just couldn't find him.

But now he's here. Meet Bernard the Lizard Boy.

Not content with spoiling me with Bernard, the pair also sent me some super Lego SW Mini-Fig sticker books. Thanks girls, you are ace.

A special birthday guest.

For my birthday I was very happy to find that a very special Han Solo arrived to help me celebrate. Look at that wonderous medal he is wearing.

He came with a lovely DK Encylopedia of Star Wars Lego Characters - he's so generous. ;-)

Ooops

Oops... now I have built everything from my childhood Lego back up it won't fit back into the case.

A re-found Lego Love

I appear to have re-caught the Lego bug today today as I spent the day building lots more of my childhood Lego, including my childhood fave, my trainset.

The joy of Lego continues

Today, after a visit from our good friends I was inspired to get my case of Childhood Lego out.  I kinda introduced Ali to the joy of Lego during their recent visits and her giddiness rubbed off on me.

So today I spent a happy few hours rummaging through my Lego case and building up some of my construction workers.

Tomorrow, I will probably make a start on the train, because it is a little bit addictive and for the last few years, this was something I seemed to have forgotten.

Garden party.

It's Friday night so R2 D2 hosts an A-List garden party....

Unfortunately it got a little out of hand....

Dusty Star Wars Lego

Tomorrow, our friends are coming to visit so I thought I best dust my Star Wars Lego Collection.....

(Apologies for the rubbish pics, I found it difficult to capture their true spirit as a whole collection, maybe one day in the future I will take individual shots.)

Welcome.

I have decided that I really need to start a new blog to showcase my Lego, as I think all my Flickr and Twitter friends are getting a little bored of my lego related ramblings.


Please read to see how it all began...


And stay tuned for pics of all my Lego finds and postings about my previous Lego collections
