6625- Speed Trackers


I always remember having this set, so it was likely one of my first 10 and certainly a staple to my town.  It remains one of only two pure Police sets I own, the other also being a 1996 release.

This lovely Town set comes with 2 policemen, a police car, a police motorbike, and a couple accessories.

41050- Ariel's Amazing Treasures



The Little Mermaid was one of my favorite movies when I was a tiny Kane, so my jaw dropped when I saw that Lego was making two Mermaid sets, as well as a handful of other Disney Princess sets.

I would have gotten a Cinderella set or the other Mermaid set, but they seemed to provide too little for the price and drew too much from the early Friends concept of overly colorful and easy build sets.






The set comes with Ariel, fish friend Flounder, a gate construction, a small plant section, and a section with treasure chest and treasures.  A good water themed addition to my Summer Collection.

6517- Water Jet



It's hard for me to believe that this Town set is 18 years old.  I would have been about 7 when I received it to bulk up my town, which is right about when I started getting a lot of sets as gifts.  The water jet set stands the test of time and comes with one minifigure, water vehicle, and two buoy constructions.  A great little addition to my Summer Collection.

41028- Emma's Lifeguard Post



This is my third Friends set with Emma in it.  It's nice to see that they moved the settings of these small sets to the outdoors and it thus provides a nice addition to my Summer Collection.











This set comes with minidoll Emma, a dolphin, a lifeguard tower, a flag post, a sandcastle construction, and several accessories including swimming flippers, binoculars, a bucket, and a first aid case.

6026- King Leo



This is one of the few Castle sets I got as a child although I'm not sure why I received this one as I also have King Leo's Castle, making this set fairly redundant.  This little set is extremely simple featuring King Leo, Richard the Strong, a white horse, a small castle construction, and accessories.

851464- Chewbacca Key Chain


What a wookiee, indeed.  I'm not overly impressed with this Star Wars minifigure, but it does the job.  Like all my other keychains, I soldered off the keychain bit, leaving a small hole on the top of his head.

30113- Stephanie's Bakery Stand



This little polybag came as a surprise to me in January 2014 when I placed an online order containing a Friends set.  It comes with mini doll Stephanie, a small stand, and a handful of Lego food items, two of which are brand new to me.
