I've got a Cliff minifig?
Oh my. I must have more Cheers minifigures.
That does go some way to explaining why Ratzenburger is one of the highest grossing actors of all time. I mean the Pixar films are probably enough on their own, but Empire isnt going to hurt.
Pixar, wait, what, I got Ham at Scotcon. I have two Ratzenburgers. Two!

Yep, my fire-fighter bloke will be sitting in that this evening to do his paperwork - the Firefighter lady needs to get her stint on the quad bike.
In other LEGO news - Team GB Mini-figures are still available in my local Smyths - which greatly surprised me. They have been exiled to the bottom of the display in front of one of the almost-never-manned tills, but they are there.

Bought the Dino tower set cheap off Amazon for £12 after I found the Kingston John Lewis cleared of Dino Lego. But while we're on the subject.... How is lego.wikia.com/wiki/5884_Raptor_Chase a £25 set ?

Great series of figures, packed with character and great colours. -Ralph

The Medieval sets are nice. Also, they're similarly priced here and in the UK so I don't have to worry about grabbing them cheap for potential future use and trying to stuff them into my case.

Day 15:
Snowtrooper and another section of wall for the heroic firefighters to hang their gear.
A good day. I do love those brown wall bricks and one can never have too many Snowtroopers.

Those three Lego City equipment racks should clip together with the two flat ones fitting under the eves of the arched one to form one longer wall of gear

And I have done so!
In other news, LOTR/Hobbit Lego was 25% off in Sainsburgeries today. Thus did I red-haze and pick up the wee Hobbit 'Riddles for the Ring' set. I had to have Lego Bilbo and Gollum and it comes with the One True Ring!
*adds to growing pile of Lego to build*

It makes a very nice backdrop for the Minifigs and the Christmas tree. I was going to ask about today's spacecraft as well. I presume it is from one of the later films - once we get past Jedi I start to find I have trouble recalling a lot of the spacecraft for some reason - X-wings, A-wings etc are all very memorable, but things like Droid Fighters and the like tend to blend together for me.

Hmmm, the model really doesn't look like it though, either than being grey!

The little cockpit piece makes it look rather like some sort of one-man fighter or scout. (Actually, give it a decent missile payload and it would look quite at home in Freespace 2). Nice looking little model though, it is currently parked wing-to-wing with the Naboo fighter from earlier in the month.
