The SImpson Lego Minifigures Series 2 Blind Bag

Grabbed another Simpsons minifig while I was out and about the other day and I was very happy to see this character!

Jimminy jillikers, it's Fallout Boy!

This is a fantastic little figure made all the better by the inclusion of a can of Buzz Cola. This small accessory is such a nicely made little piece, it's almost worth the price of admission alone!

The Simpsons Lego Series 2 Blind Bag Minifigures

I picked up 2 new blind bags on a whim the other day hoping I wouldn't pick up any other doubles.

Let's get these cracked open and see what we get.

First up...

Groundskeeper Willie! Very happy with this minifig, he's a great sculpt and the plunger accessory is so much fun.

Secondly...

Patty Bouvier! Again a nice figure, shame I'm missing Selma of course. And I kind of wish she came with a cigarette as an accessory, but I know they couldn't do that!

Just a quick post guys, stay tuned for more real soon!

Lego The Simpsons Series 2 Blind Bag Minifigures

So I went out for a sandwich for my lunch and, as I'm incredibly weak willed, I grabbed another 2 packs of The Simpsons Lego series 2 blind bags. I was hoping my luck would continue with two new figures. I should be so lucky...

Another Martin! Didn't even bother building him, no point at all! Still a great minifigure though.

I was very happy with the second figure though:

Comic Book Guy! Really happy with this minifigure, but you know my very favourite part? The little moulded Squishee cup. I love how the lid is a small see though piece with a little straw. It looks perfect!

The sour that goes with this sweetness though? It's being reported that Harry Shearer - the voice of Ned Flanders, Kent Brockman, Principal Skinner, Mr Burns, Smithers, Lenny, Otto, Dr Hibbert among many more - is leaving The Simpsons. Personally I don't think the show will function nearly as well without him, but I guess we'll see, as no doubt the will plow on and continue making the show.

The Simpsons Lego Series 2 Blind Bags

Another 4 bags of Lego Simpsons series 2! #prayfornodoubles

Ok firstly...

Homer on date night! Woo hoo!

Secondly

Another Simpson - my favourite Simpson! Maggie and Santos L Halper! Sorry, Santa's Little Helper

Next up

Waylon Smithers! with a box with a Malibu Barbie that comes with a brand new hat!! As a toy collector I sympathise with Smithers. And hey, still no doubles. If this luck keeps up then I'll pretty much have no more luck left for this year...

Holy wow!! No doubles! Martin with his incredibly pretentious book! I love this figure, I think Smithers and Martin are my favourite so far.

Hopefully I'll be able to pick up more!

The Simpsons Lego Series 2 Blind Bags

As I was shopping the other day I popped into the toy section (as I always do) and spotted the series 2 blind bags of The Simpsons Lego were on shelves, so I scooped three bags, got home, and ripped them open. Let's take a look at the line-up for this wave:

Homer with box of chocolates
Marge with flowers and purse
Lisa with Snowball II
Maggie with Santa's Little Helper
Bart as Bartman
Millhouse as Fallout Boy
Comic Book Guy
Martin Prince with a book
Professor Frink
Hans Moleman
Patty
Selma
Groundskeeper Willie
Mrs Krabapple
Smithers
Dr Hibbert

So a nice big selection and as these were my first 3 bags, I was confident I wouldn't pull a double. Out of this list I would really like Bartman, Fallout Boy, Comic Book Guy, Professor Frink, Hans Moleman and Groundskeeper Willie, but as it's The Simpsons, none of the wave would really disappoint.

So I opened my first bag and found...

Lisa! Really happy with the Snowball II sculpt even without any articulation and it's nice to get a Lisa in a different colour of dress.

Second up I got

Hans Moleman! Now not only is this sculpt superb and hilariously accurate, but he even comes with his drivers license, which has been stamped void at the DMV by Selma!

I love it!

And in my third bag?

Everybody do the Bartman!!

Very happy with this haul, great looking minifigures and when I get the chance I'll be picking up more - and of course I'll let you all know how I get on!

Lego Star Wars Microfighters Series 2 Snowspeeder & Pilot Set 75074

Having already had a look at the AT-AT in this series it's time to take a look at the Snowspeeder & Pilot set.

The rest of the vehicles in this series are:

Homing Spider Droid
Vulture Droid
ARC-170 Starfighter & Clone Pilot
Republic Gunship

I won't be picking up any of these sets. I don't hate the prequels, but I am picky about what I'll pick up from them.

So this set is another of the Microfighters range so it's a small build that took me about 15 minutes to complete.

Let's take a look at the pilot first.

The detailing on the pilot is excellent. He has printed tubes, buttons, and buckles over his torso and legs and the mask and strap from the helmet are also printed straight onto the Minifigures face. The helmet has the Rebel insignia printed on it which is a nice touch and he has 2 faces - one happy (shown above) and one a bit more terrified!

The Snowspeeder is a great little interpretation of the ship from the movie but I do actually like the AT-AT more.

The ship also has 2 missiles underneath which kind of fire if pushed from behind.

The figure sits nicely in the Snowspeeder, looking like a kid on a fairground ride which I love the look of!

Again, I'd completely recommend these if you want to save cash and space and, for me, I love the minifigures so these are a double win for me.

Lego Star Wars Microfighters AT-AT Set 75075

The second series of Lego Star Wars Microfighters have been released and having picked up the original trilogy vehicles from the first series, how could I turn these down? This series, which takes the vehicles from Star Wars, and shrinks them down into an utterly adorable ride on vehicle. I have only picked up the two original trilogy vehicles in this wave - the AT-AT and the Snowspeeder - and in this review I'll be looking at the AT-AT.

This set, as with all of them, comes with a minifigure. The minifigure with this set, is unsurprisingly, an AT-AT pilot.

And underneath the helmet, the Imperial officer looks nice and angry!

As far as the AT-AT goes, it's an easy build that takes about 15 minutes and looks great when it's complete.

And to give you a bit of size perspective

These really are small, but they look great! And they don't take up nearly as much room (or as much of a bite out of your bank balance) as the full size versions.

There is a little articulation in the vehicle. The head moves up and down and the legs move back and forth as do the ankles.

If, like me, you don't have the money or space for the full size versions of the vehicles from Star Wars, these are for you!
