Change my mind. #spacecowboysaturday … There are currently 47 different LEGO minifigure versions of Han Solo – I wonder if this is the most for any character? The version that I used here with dark blue legs, vest with pockets, and (normally) wavy hair has appeared in four sets: 75159 Death Star – UCS (releasedContinue reading “Han Solo, the original space cowboy”

Noooooo!! My precious….
Poor Gandalf: Servant of the Secret Fire, Wielder of the Flame of Anor, Elf-friend, and… butterfingers. … Here we see Gandalf the White, a minifigure that was only available in the 2013 LEGO The Lord of the Rings set 79007 Battle at the Black Gate. I didn’t dare put him anywhere near my charred cedarContinue reading “Noooooo!! My precious….”
Hi, it’s the 80s calling.
#tbt to my favourite retro bounty hunter. But that brick cell phone… ugh. #throwbackthursday … Today’s vintage minifigure is Boba Fett – Classic Grays, circa 2000-2003, from either the Star Wars set 7144 Slave I or 4476 Jabba’s Prize. (we have both, and I’m not sure which one this is from). The monstrosity of aContinue reading “Hi, it’s the 80s calling.”

‘My Precious! O my Precious’
Was there ever a creature as lonely or broken as Gollum? Ironically, the one being who suffered the most from the One Ring was the one who finally managed to destroy it. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings was the first high fantasy novel I read as a child, and it remains special to meContinue reading “‘My Precious! O my Precious’”
This is the way
Disney’s The Mandalorian reenergized the Star Wars universe for me, and I couldn’t help but pick up the LEGO set 75267 Mandalorian Battle Pack. The set includes four tribal warriors – this photo shows the male with dark azure helmet and olive green cape. All four minifigs are wonderful and I’ll definitely be featuring theContinue reading “This is the way”
Just another snow day at Echo Base
Meet K-3PO, protocol droid and part of the rebel Alliance. Stationed at Echo Base on the ice planet Hoth, he monitored troop movements, personally delivered messages within the military command centre, and operated the loudspeaker system. Oh, and apparently, kept the sidewalks clear. We saw K-3PO on screen in during early scenes of The EmpireContinue reading “Just another snow day at Echo Base”
