First impressions

These is the first of four 2014 Bricktober sets from Toys’R’US. If you spent $100 you would get this for free, but if you asked rather nicely as Miss Pink did, you could buy them on their own. The Toys’R’Us Mini-modulars are slightly different from the 10230 Advanced Model themed Mini-modulars. These are slightly narrow, using a 6×8 plate compared with the 8×8. But saying that it does not take away how cool these little ones are.

The Town Hall was our favourite, so we decided to build that first. Miss Pink had a hankering for building some LEGO on a wet rainy day, so why not crack open the Bricktober boxes. They have been sitting their staring at us for awhile now. With four months till next October why not build one of these a month till then.

Aldi Lego Books – Special Buys sale

Yesterday Aldi Australia released its Special Deals catalog (current catalog with the LEGO no longer available online), there were quite a few toys included from wooden toys, train sets and most importantly some LEGO DK books.

Three different theme books available. A LEGO City, LEGO Friends and a generic LEGO Classic style book. They are A$9.95 for each book set and come with a variety (3 each) of sticker books and book excerpts and all contain a Polybag LEGO set. I don;t think getting these purely for the LEGO is worth it, but a few of the extra goodies do make it a good purchase. But you will have to get in quick before they sell out.

Book Set 1: LEGO City – The Essential Book Collection

This set includes three little books. Two of them sticker books, an excerpt from The LEGO Book and a fire helicopter with one Minifig.
