Nice Wheels...

Supersteen has also created some other x10 models.

New Aquisition!

Look what turned up at 7:30am this morning! As soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it... I havn't had time to clean it up or anything yet, but apart from a few small missing pieces it all works fine.

It comes from (or was at least made at the same time as) the display in Hamley's, London in the Summer of 1989. You can see an article in the 'Bricks 'n' Pieces' magazine that Richard highlighted earlier here:

Like other display models the limbs are held on with wing-nut fixings which can be tightened and loosened to allow different poses. The pistol is removable and is Red because Brown bricks were not used a lot at the time.

Giant Light-up Female Minifig!

This is one of the figures that was used as a LEGO light display in Blackpool, England in 1991.

You can see an article about the whole display in our earlier post on this blog.

It is hard to tell from this photo, but the figure is actually about 6 foot tall!

It has a lot of bulbs in it that really make it well lit as it was displayed outside.

We would love to here from anyone who actually saw this display or even anyone who has photos of it, that would be fantastic!

Here is another page from an issue of Bricks 'N' Pieces Magazine. If you click on the picture it will enlarge.

The issue came out in the Autumn of 1986. I was 11 years old at the time and wished that I had enough bricks to build something so big.

Last year I was lucky enough to bid on EBAY enough money to buy the actual figure from this page. He's called Archie and he stands in my living room. Before he came to me he stood in a child's bedroom for about seven years. He appeared in Bricks 'N' Pieces twice and was used to promote LEGO in Boots Stores (of all places).

There is a quote in the article that says 'How about trying to scale up something like it - not as big of course!' I love that line because now I can...

Fabulous Collection.

My First Post.

This is a cover from Bricks 'N' Pieces Magazine. This magazine was sent to members of the UK LEGO Builders Club.
At this size it looks like the original, however the Crane was built to 20 times the size of the original. Click on the picture to see a larger version.
