Actually ended up giving the skeleton horse set to my nephew.He's hooked on Lego City and I want him to get into a different series so he can experience the fantasy aspect of legos.Only other sets I have are a few from Pharaoh's Quest and The Ice Dragon Ninjago set,which is amazing.

I simply adore Character Building! I love it enough to make it my main priority in Doctor Who merchandise. The blind bags are a serious pain though, they're far more difficult than the Lego ones to feel in-package due to the lack of accessories and the storekeepers always stare at me because the main places to find them here in Australia are the rather small ABC Shops (nowhere to hide). Do you have any tips on better luck? The only ones I can guarantee are Daleks due to their distinctive shape.
Most of the newer wave have accessories though so it makes things a little easier. Quote:
Did you get the 11 Doctor's Set? Was over-priced here, but it's my favorite thing from the whole line yet. There's no other way to get the great Classic Doctors like the 3rd Doctor.

*glances at username* Nope, not a fan of LEGO at aaaaaall.
Haven't bought a new set in about two years, though. Minifigs really interest me now too, but again sets are so darn expensive it's not really worth going after them...

I thought this might be kind of fun to share.
So for the last couple of days I've had an odd yearning to rebuild one of my old castle kits. How old? Depressingly, probably older than several of the people on this site. In retrospect, I'm honestly not sure I actually ever built it before - I think my mom made it for me because I was only about six or seven at the time. Some of the pieces have been scattered around over the years, so there are a couple I had to salvage from newer kits (a couple of 1x3 black slopes) and one that I had to fudge a little (only to realize, after I was done, exactly where I have a bunch of them). So, with digging through multiple storage box time included, this build actually took me a couple of hours (five minutes alone was spent on finding the last little black hat plume). But it was really fun, the kit looks great, and I feel a little badass for completing an old school "we won't tell you what pieces you need for this step, just look at this picture and spot the differences across the entire length and breadth of the whole build" instruction booklet. So, with no further ado, I present, straight from 1987, 6066 Camouflaged Outpost: I had a ton of fun with this. Part of me kinda wants to do this again with the Black Falcon Fortress the next time I have a slow day. |

I recently got my wife the Best Lock Terminator set. It's pretty obvious this company is new to the game because the box we got was missing several pieces. Also, like everything other than Lego, you have to put stickers on the finished builds. That'd be fine if they mapped out where to put the stickers like the Kre-O and Megablocks sets do but alas they do not. I ended up just looking at the picture and doing my best guesswork but I ended up with some stickers I couldn't figure out where to place. The plastic quality is also a bit on the cheap side. A lot of pieces had flash left on them, some pieces were broken (though not too many, thankfully) and some pieces are very loose when pegged together. Overall I would only recommend the set to Terminator die-hards (like my wife). The little endos are cool but the rest of the set is sub-par. They also have a Stargate set for fans of that but I doubt the quality is any better.

I know I said I tend not to buy kits, but this was an exception I couldn't pass up...

That's so awesome! I had the King's Castle and my brother had the Knight's Castle from around the same timeframe. I am sure they are in my parent's house somewhere... would love to build the King's Castle again at some point!

Have you seen the recent reveals for Character Building at the UK Toy Fair? There's a nice new TARDIS and some cool minisets. They even have a blister pack that includes the Doctor and all the Ponds (to think how much I've hunted to complete the Ponds)!

Will definitely get the monster pack for the unmasked Judoon and Sontaran (although I wish it had a masked Silurian), and the 11 Doctor blindbags. They know how to rope me in with alternate costumes If that Dalek Skimmer comes with Sec like the box suggests its a definite buy, but I'm a bit wary about the box art being wrong. My Spaceship was supposedly supposed to come with two bronze drones, but it came with one drone and a Dalek Scientist. Not that I should complain, because the Scientist was the only one I was missing from the paradigm
