One Small Brick

 

The Grandkids recently visited a Lego Cafe in Bingley. Yep, they exist!

This fab Apollo Saturn 5 was on the shelf.

Have you made a Lego space rocket? 

S H O G U N

 Spending time with the Grandkids over the summer holidays, Moonbase Junior has just whipped up this nifty Lego camper.

He calls it Shogun on account of the Ninja driving it.

He hopes you like it.

Snap Decision

 I'm not a Lego fan but this caught my eye in a toy display.

A neat little satellite. 

The emphasis these days appears to be to make ultra-complex figures and buildings but this simple probe is what I'd decide to do.

How do you your Lego?

I don't think you need to love lego to love the idea of this 😁

Lego Addams Lights

We're babysitting an 8 year old for a pal tonight and the kid's built this really neat and illuminated Lego house.

His Bluey toy kept an eye on things.

It's as modern as anything!

Very warm and welcoming!

The illuminated door and window in close-up so remind me of my older brother's Aurora Addams Family house, which he lit up as well back in the Sixties.

Long gone, here's a fabulous version with illumination by CultTVMan I saw online.

Brick Bay

My Grandson recently built these three space vehicles. They were little bricks in a small lunchbox-style tin. 

A revolving rocket, a satellite and a rover.

All very cool indeed! 

This sort of mini-brick modelling has really taken off, would you agree?

Terranova's Minifig Marvelman

Hello Woodsy, in reply to Kevin's Minifigs, here is my Marvelman at play.

Terranova47, NYC

Are there any more out there?

Kevin's Minifigs Fun

Hi,

Sometimes I amuse myself by making little Lego minifigure dioramas in small box frames. 

Here are the ones I've done so far:

Star Cops, Sapphire and Steel, The X Files and Star Trek.

Go figure,

Kevin

Junior's Lego

 The Grandson Junior loves making Lego Minecraft models.

Here are four of his latest creations.

See what you think.

This sword is from small beads rather than Lego.

Enjoy!

JUNIOR'S ESCAPE RAFT

 Last week Junior had fun with LEGO.

He made up a story, The Esca[e Raft, around a couple of vehicles and played for an hour on the floor acting it out. I was so jealous! It was a joy to see!

Here are Junior's creations.

A MARS A DAY

Hi Woodsy, my Lego Mars rover is now finished! 

Its latest discovery on the Red planet hints that there may be life there! 

A belated Happy New Year to you and all the Moonbasers.

THERE'S A GHOST IN MY HOUSE

I saw the above illuminated Lego hotel online and was blown away. What a masterpiece.

It also reminded me completely of how I lit-up my Polar Lights Addams Family House kit back in the 90's. Alas I no longer have it but I did find an amazing and illuminated original Aurora Addam's house online. 

Built and lit by Randy Neubert ten years ago it still looks wonderful. Check out all the views of his house here https://culttvman.com/main/randy-neuberts-lighted-addams-family-house/

Recently I found one of the house ghosts on a stick and it brought back great memories of putting it together decades ago. You can see the ghost I mean bottom right below in this auction pic of the kit parts. The ghost on a stick recalls something else but I can't put my finger on it. A chocolate lolly?

My older brother had the original Aurora Addams Family House back in the Sixties, along with Godzilla, King Kong et al. Not sure where they all went. Probably the bin! How could they do it!

Do you have any haunted memories of the Addam's Family House kits, original or otherwise?

Any pictures?

MEMORY LANE IN THE RAIN

A real trip down memory lane today for me with the Missus as we ventured forth to the town I used to work in for twenty years; Morley. I hadn't been back since 2005, when I finished my 'big' job. I was 44 then. I'm 62 now!

Despite the winter's rainy drizzle we were emboldened by a local pork pie and took advantage of the many charity shops. some of which I used to visit on my lunch breaks decades ago!

Today's catch was slim but fun and along the way we saw some interesting items on the shelves. What do you think?

First up, a large boxed Lego set 744, 1980, priced £30. It looked impressive!

A large plastic robot Overseer priced £40 and one I'd never heard of. Next to it was a Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Music Cartridge!

An interesting and near mint boxed game called Snake Eyes by Vic Toy/ Invicta, 1969, priced £5. A lovely item in great shape. I had the Invicta Mastermind game as a kid.

This Darth Vader spinner from 1997 brought back happy memories as I sold one on my old toy stall in the Noughties.

A whole stack of Dr. Who magazines, not one I've ever read. You?

We liked this framed print of steam engines hanging above the Market's excellent vintage corner, Junk and Disorderly. A print of an oil painting by Barrie A.F. Clark from 1977. Reading about the artist, it would appear that he helped designed and made prototype toys in the early 1960's, as well as doing his painting! I wonder which toys?

There were badges too, 50p each. I bought one!

Next door in the Market's record shop was this fab window display of Beatles LP and Singles covers.

A blast from the past for me was seeing a Broons and Oor Wullie annual. Along with Giles, my older brothers always got one of these annuals at Christmas in the early Seventies. Did you?

The two-man sub on the cover of Valiant 1968 caught my eye too. Is this an annual you had?

And to finish, a snap of something I struggled to scoff as a kid but love now, Glace Cherries! I saw these in Morley Morrisons.  There were always some in my Mum's kitchen cupboard next to the equally unusual candy peel! Do you like them?

and here's what I bought, a meagre trio of fun stuff.

The Belly of an Architect is a film I'd never heard of and even better it was on VHS Video Cassette, which I collect. The Heavy Nuggets CD is a compilation of unusual heavy rock tracks for the car.

Perhaps the best buy was the plastic Batman Badge. At first I thought it was a variant of the well-known Plaston plastic badge but then I saw a different brand name on the back, Di Bro and Made in England.

Turns out its from a Batman collectable from 1966 and one new to me, the ABC Interpass Badge and ID Card, which I found information on and borrowed these pictures from Worthpoint. Is it something you know readers?
