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.

40078- Hot Dog Stand


This was a free polybag with qualifying Lego purchases during July 2013 and I'm fairly certain I made sure my virtual cart was full enough to qualify for this set.  Some of the "free with purchase" sets are truly amazing and this is my favorite one so far with two minifigures (male and female), a hot dog cart, and a bicycle.

5001623- Jor-El

 This polybag minifigure was available on lego.com free with qualifying purchase during June 2013.  Initially (and until three minutes ago), I thought Kal-El was Superman's father's name, so I dubbed Jor-El Superman's uncle.  However, Kal-El is Superman and Jor-El is Superman's daddy.  Don't ask why he's wearing a Superman costume.  I like some superheroes, but knowing that the comic book world is full of complex backstories, multiple resurrections, and alternate universes, I tend to stay way from that mess.  He's a cute Superman-type figure without having to buy a set, let's leave it at that.

30261- Tonto's Campfire

I wanted this nice little polypag mostly for the Tonto figure.  Little did I know that I'd be getting another set with him in it (79107- Comanche Camp) or that he would be released as a keychain figure, which can easily be turned into a normal figure with the aid of a soldering iron.







This set comes with Tonto, his tomahawk, and the campfire construction.

3300014- Limited Edition Christmas Set 2012 (Brick Friday)

This is my first Holiday season as an adult Lego fan, so I was really happy to find out that Lego offers a special exclusive set free with qualifying purchases on Black Friday (known to us Lego fans as Brick Friday).  As a Lego VIP Member, I was glad to have the chance to get this set before Black Friday.  I'm very impressed with the little set as it is a great wintry scene.

40076- Zombie Car

I got this little set in September of 2012 as a "Free with $75 purchase" promotional lego.com was running.  I'm not beyond admitting that this car influenced how much I put into my virtual cart that day.  O.o

I like the idea and the figures of the Monster Fighters theme, but I don't like any of the sets enough to purchase, so this set was a nice way of getting a little bit of the theme without having to really buy anything.
