Lego Minifigures Series 14

I don't usually make an effort in collecting minifigures. I don't even let the minifigures rule over which sets I buy...in fact, I hardly even notice them sometimes! However, the series 14 minifgures had some hype surrounding the whole monster theme and I just had to take a look.

Of course, there were "professional molestors" at the shop, feeling and crushing every packet in the box to get the minifigs they want without concern for those who are going to buy them later. Perhaps you may feel otherwise, but I dislike such behaviour in general. Where's the element of surprise and joy at getting something interesting through just blind selection of the packets?

Anyway, I grabbed three packets from the box while this lady was busy pressing and squashing to get  her dream minifig.

 Oops! Sorry for the blur image! So much for QC!

I gave one each to my kids and it was great seeing their faces full of curiousity at what lies within! Well, here's what we got...

Introducing (From Left) : Square Foot, Fly Monster (what I wanted to get!) and Monster Scientist.

The kids went off happily to think of how they were going to play with them. Frankly, the minifigs do look interesting! I shall see if I can get a few more different ones through luck!

It's a Lego Day!

Another day of fun for the kids today. Brought them out to catch Cars 2 at Plaza Singapura GV. Surprised that it really turned out to be a rather good animation with quite a bit of humor the kids could not catch. The car designs were another plus point considering there is Lego Cars theme now......

Visited Bricks World after that as they are having their 20% discount for members. I could not prevent myself from grabbing the new winter themed Winter Village Bakery (10216) for the upcoming holiday season. Bought three Hero Factory robots for my boys and my nephew. Just had to throw in a small Ninjago set as I could not resist the black ninja minifig.

And what a day of Lego! My orders from Brick Station also arrived in the evening! Got my dragon knights and lion knights set of minifigs from Kingdoms, my three advent calendars (including the two new ones just released) from Star Wars, City and Kingdoms, the collectors guide and Luke's Landspeeder.

Finished two simple sets of Ben 10 Aliens with the boys earlier on for them to play with before sorting out my sets. What a Lego Day!
