Lego 40268 – R3-M2

The gift with purchase program is one of the reasons why I like to shop at shop.lego.com. These gifts vary from exclusive minifigures to proper sets like the recent 40290 60 Years of the LEGO Brick.

I usually keep a couple of items on my wishlist, so I can purchase them later, when an interesting promotion comes along.

In May of 2017 Lego gave away 40268 R3-M2. While this particular promotion wasn’t the reason for my purchase I still ended up with my own little astromech droid. Continue reading “Lego 40268 – R3-M2”

MOC – Darth Vader and Stormtrooper

When Lego introduced BrickHeadz at the 2016 San Diego ComicCon they instantly appealed to me. So I was pleasantly surprised when Lego announced, that those figures would be part of their regular lineup.

The first series of BrickHeadz featured figures from DC Comic Superheroes, Marvel Super Heroes and Disney. While I appreciate the super heroes lineup (41588 The Joker is simply fantastic) there was one theme missing that is very popular with Lego fans: Star Wars!

Lego SW911612 – Acklay

Blue Ocean is currently bundling two of their previous magazine issues for the price of one. A bargain I here you say, but there is a catch: The bundle is sold as a blindbag and you can only identify its contents once you’ve purchased it.

I had a go for one of the bundles and was lucky enough to get a missing set from my collection: Star Wars Magazine 12 released June 2016 with SW911612 Acklay.

Lego SW911831 – Kylo Ren’s Shuttle

Lego Star Wars Magazine is arguably one of the cheapest ways to purchase a Lego Star Wars set. While the other Lego Magazines are focused on limited edition minifigures the Star Wars series offers an excellent range of microscale vehicles with the occasional minifigure thrown in to mix things up.

Lego Star Wars Magazine 31 was released January 2018 and comes with SW911831 Kylo Ren’s Shuttle.
