852841- Princess Leia Key Chain

Another soldered off keychain minifigure for my collection.  This is the 2010 keychain version of Star Wars heroine Princess Leia which I picked up some months ago.  Apparently there is a new 2014 version of her in an outfit that looks like she's at Hoth in an administrative role, sans her iconic hair buns.

4842- Hogwarts Castle

I'm a huge Harry Potter fan and ever since the Harry Potter sets came out in 2001, I wanted a Hogwarts Castle.  So, I'm happy I was able to snag this final version of the full castle before The Lego Group retired it.  There are ten different minifigures included and the castle is composed of four sections that can be joined together in variety of ways.  See below for several alternate pictures.











The rooms/areas in the castle are: Vanishing Cabinet, Library, Astronomy Tower, Owlery, Slytherin Common Room, Statue, Gryffindor Common Room, The Great Hall, Dumbledore's Office with moving staircase on the lower level, and Sorting Hat.

40010- Santa with Sleigh Building Set

Hello Father Christmas, how nice to see you!  This cute little holiday model comes with a Santa, a reindeer, sleigh, and two presents.













Mr. Kringle is a rather adorable model and sports a full belly, hat, and a waving arm.  Simple, but well designed and recognizable.  He fits perfectly in the cab of the sleigh, but can easily be detached for other play functions.

8684- Minifigures Series 2

I recently decided that these collectible minifigures were worth the inflated ebay price and purchased three for my Lego Small World (LSW) collection.

3177- Small Car

Front of the box

I love this little car.  The blue and white versions of this Smart Car come with set 7939 Cargo Train, but I wish they came in other sets as well.  The car is just so sleek, adorable, and functional.  It can easily be going anywhere around town.
