Review: 41022 Bunny's Hutch
Posted by Huw, 29 Apr 2013 14:07. Filed under Set review.
I've just time to post a quick review of the second of three Friends animals series 2 sets: 41022 Bunny's Hutch, although to be honest there isn't a lot to say about it.It consists of a bunny, a hutch (or rather, a fairly poor excuse for one), an exercise ramp and a carrot.
The hutch is a typical multi-coloured Friends affair, and pretty unremarkable. The exercise-ramp-thing is superfluous and probably just there to pad out the set a bit.

Minifigs.me competition winners
Posted by Huw, 29 Apr 2013 06:38. Filed under Miscellaneous.
Last month we ran a competition in conjunction with minifigs.me to win your dream minifig. Caroline from minifigs.me announces the winners:
"Firstly a huge thank you to everyone who took the time to enter our little competition and tell us about their dream LEGO minifigures, sorry the results have taken so long to be revealed, it’s been super busy here lately!
"
We had a great response and LOVED reading through your suggestions. There were so many amazing and outlandish ones, it’s got our creative juice flowing! We’re quite likely to make some of them in the coming weeks, so even if you didn’t win, please keep an eye on our facebook page and website for some new additions. And don’t forget you can order whatever minifig you like in our shop, either from your own design or using our ‘based on a photo’ premium service."However, we had to pick a winner: Congratulations Jess Grant! – who was one of a couple of people who suggested Scout minifigs, which we felt fitted well with the types of minifigs we like to be associated with. We’re not sure where Jess is from, but we made a UK Scout minifigure (and a LEGO Beaver and a LEGO Cub!). We’ll add Scouts from other countries by request. If you'd like your own Scout minifig you can order them from our website.
"And from the prize draw the winner is Adam Faulke who requested one of our Doctor Who minifigures."Congratulations to our winners, and thanks once again for your support of Minifigs.Me. Nick and I are keen to keep the business going so we can continue to make the little plastic men that LEGO refuse to make!"

Review: 41020 Hedgehog Hideaway
Posted by Huw, 29 Apr 2013 05:00. Filed under Set review.
Series 2 of the Friends collectable animals sets are appearing in shops across the world now. I picked up the three of them in my local Smyths yesterday.41020 Hedgehog Hideaway, as its name suggests, contains a hedgehog, its hideaway, some autumn leaves, a pitchfork and an apple.
Pitchforks first made an appearance in 1980s Castle sets and until their reintroduction in 2011 in an Alien Conquest set, they were rare and highly sought after. Its inclusion in the set is therefore welcome, although perhaps not by a sleepy hedgehog caught on the wrong end of one when hibernating in the leaves...

Promotional Jor-El polybag found on eBay
Posted by Huw, 28 Apr 2013 11:47. Filed under New sets.
A seller on eBay has this Jor-El polybag listed, at £35 ($50-ish). I have no idea where they came from (or indeed, who Jor-El is), but I think we can be sure that it will turn up as part of a promotion somewhere, either at shop.LEGO.com or maybe somewhere like Smyths.I have asked the seller for the set number so I can add it to the database.

A new LEGO Brand Store in Canada
Posted by Matthew, 28 Apr 2013 03:05. Filed under Miscellaneous.
A job listing has appeared on LEGO.com for the store manager of another new LEGO Brand Store. The new store will be in Guilford Town Centre. There's no word yet on when we can expect the store to open, but I would hazard a guess at a soft opening sometime during the Summer with a Grand Opening in September/October.
Is this good news for you? Where are you hoping for a new store?
