What can be better than free LEGO?

Today's edition of bragging was brought to you by the Daily (and Sunday) Mirror (because they had some free toys to give-away).


Yeah, so in addition to the carry box, play-mat and stickers, I also got these.

• LEGO Racers 7801 Rally Racer
• LEGO Racers 7802 Le Mans Racer
• LEGO Racers 30030 Tiny Turbo Rally Raider
• LEGO Racers 30033 Truck
• LEGO Racers 30034 Tow truck
• LEGO Racers 30035 Off Road Racer 2
  

These were rather simple to build, but also very fun to do as well (and the fact they were free made the deal even sweeter).

My whimsical nature has struck again!

I knew this would happen, I just knew it! I always get caught by spur of the moment whims!

Well, there's no use in bitching about it now when this is only the beginning of these type of purchases (I'm expecting more in the coming days).

Now lets return to the reason for this post.


Today brought me two goodies from 4480andy and claudiasfabstore23.

The first item is the LEGO Town 6594 Gas Transit, which is the same one I mentioned when I got my Tank Truck a few days ago.

This little tanker was originally given to me by my nan as a Birthday/Christmas present in 1992.

It was a nice fun toy that gave me loads of enjoyment until the fateful day when my mum tripped and fell over right on top of it (I still hold a slight grudge with her about that!).

The second item is the G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra Baroness Paris Pursuit.

This purchase is just one of the 'after-effects' from when I was looking-up pictures of the H.I.S.S. Tank to make a little something showcasing the torment of a certain Time Lord (although its kinda redundant now because he now has a H.I.S.S. Tank).

Anyway, as for the figure itself, I'm in two-minds about it.

I do like the figure, but that lower coat piece pisses me off because I find it hinders the articulation of her legs (its just too damn restricting dammit!).

That, and the included missile launcher thingy is oversized and retarded looking as hell!

Nemmy has rekindled his past interest in LEGO

Like the title says, I've gone and bought my first piece of LEGO in over 10 years (the last one I remember getting was the LEGO Star Wars 7131 Anakin's Podracer).


Funnily enough, this LEGO City 3180 Tank Truck I got from Amazon.co.uk is like a modern update of the LEGO Town 6594 Gas Transit I used to have 18 years ago (man, just knowing that makes me feel fucking old).

I don't know if this will begin a trend of me buying more LEGO in the future, but this would have been what started it.


I also went to the trouble of taking this shot so you can see that I've already built the Tank Truck.

My final thoughts on it?

The cab is easily the main draw here cos it really showed to me just how far LEGO vehicles have progressed since my younger years.
