If only I had the money, I could really buy many Lego kits at some of their stores like the one at The Bull Ring in Birmingham which I visit a lot.

Building Lego is incredibly fun and relaxing. During a recent visit to Milton Keynes, it was a pleasant surprise to come accross this store as not many are around.

I’d been wanting the “Fortune Master” kit for ages and I finally managed to get one in store as I struggled to pick it up on Amazon. I also picked up a Star Wars Land Speeder and an arcade game machine set. Such a great feeling picking up these sets and I will of course share how I get on with building these very soon.

My recent Lego builds have included the 3 in 1 creator series “Exotic parrot” kit and the “Back to the Future” car. All fun builds and do take a look at the reviews and write ups here.

As a Lego novice, I’m constantly discovering new sets and making a mental note of favourites. Recently, while in Smyths Toys, I stumbled upon a massive original Batman car – the iconic 60s design was simply brilliant. This is definitely on my list. And I’ve just seen a Tintin rocket set which was just released in April, and a Snoopy set releasing soon. See pics below as they are future possibilities of sets to own.

If only I had the money and the room!
