we contemplated brickvention but realised the day out was just too exxy for us when we factor in travel

Brickvention was great - was much easier this year as DS didn't want to touch/pull apart everything. Lots of trains again - so even if kids don't like Lego if they love trains is perfect. Some great models - I like the big stuff (so not kit stuff but like a massive Vegemite jar, or there was a Sydney Opera house and a massive suspension bridge).

I really would love the Mindstorm stuff - and someone had the Dolphin Cruiser customized with the Intelli Brick and motor and controlling it via bluetooth from their IPAD - can't wait for the kids to get a bit older so I can justify buying that - it is meant for 10+ but I reckon once DD is 7 I can justify the $500 to myself :-). I must get mum and dad to bring my technics Lego over next time they go home - it was a pneumatic set.

We received the missing brick from DS's grand prix truck set today. One very happy little boy was able to finish it off properly What great service!

cant believe there has been no chatter in here since January - clearly we all migrated to FB!
I may have been to the lego shop this morning. and i may have agreed to buy some lego movie stuff for the poppet... and i may have assembled it this arvo....

and i may have been playing with lego with the express purpose of designing her birthday invitations and associated "stuff"
