Does he get royalties for this? Let's hope for a DVD release to help his retirement.

He is like the Medal Bearer in Star Wars. A brief and obscure part of Lego history yet available for convention appearances.

went on the hunt for some lego today, smyths, entertainer and even the lego shop had crap all in, ended up buying a couple of models from Asda Living (spiderman and carnage, and the green lantern vs sinestro dc battle) both nice models were a tenner each(the latter should've been about £20) the minifigure of carnage is amazing!

Just made the Dr Who lego set! It's great stuff, far better than the Character Building one, and the Tardis doesn't explode in your hands (remember that, guys!!). Not sure it's worth the £50, feels more like £40 max but eh, I can understand the additional costs due to licensing and exclusivity and so on etc etc.

just a side note the guardians of the galaxy nowhere set is only 30 at amazon, reduced from 45 a good deal I think I got it for that price in 2014. £45 is crazy to me, even for a licensed set, I still think its more like £25, but know in reality £30 is a good price. Groots good so are the minifigures, the pods okay too and the tower thing is there too.

Used up Lego points to get the Doctor Who set at half off. It's not a £50 set (the TARDIS needs walls for that price point) but at discount and seeing a set built up in a display cabinet (looked better than pics would suggest) I thought it was worth a splurge after some consideration.
A moment of sadness as Spence heads are no longer in the 'Build a minifig' tower at the Lego store in Glasgow. However...it now has M heads!!!
Picked up a clockwork robot minifig keychain. Could easily have lost my mind on the newly released for January SW lego (the new Hoth set has a Probe Droid) but I have some recently acquired Sw lego still in boxes and keeping an eye out for CW autobot cars locally so I was able to resist. This time.
The Nexo Nights sets are out. Visionaries in all but name. Looks like a fun line!

I recently bought a load of polybags to get some minifigures for sets. This means I have a spare tie fighter (8028)
if anyone wants it they are welcome to it, don't mind posting it to a good home.

Finally a relaxing day slobbed out in front of the tv. Got to build the millenium falcon. Took 4 and a half hours, but great fun. One of the most rock solid lego sets ive ever built. Which version? I got the last big one that came out. It was a fun build and I have kept it built up since. The Force Awakens version looks very similar to it. -Ralph

Force awakens one. I got a very incomplete original one from the car boot a few months ago, but enough of it was there to see that they have an identical basic build. The new one has stickers rather than paint apps and little details have changed. Theres more stuff going on inside, the chairs are built rather than being the basic one piece brown chairs, the missiles have been built in to the front of the ship with a neat trigger and it has the new radar dish. On the other hand theyve cut some bricks from the main build a few of which I fell are missed and other bits of the interior like computer panels have been simplified.

the Lego DC Dawn of Justice sets were released on 2nd Jan, the 11.99 set with both batman and superman is really good value considering you get 2 very nice minifigures!

Hmmm. I've seen one built and it looks very nice and for the price point it packs in a lot of bricks. But a £275 set really should have all printed pieces and no stickers, the unfinished back is a shame and not being able to drive Ecto-1 in and out without modding is a definite design failure. It's a moot point anyway as I could never afford one on my wages! Glad it exists though. -Ralph
