Lego Extravangaza.....Time to Travel!

Hello again!

More Lego fun today. Every day after I put Jacob to bed I took my huge box and put together another playset. I actually had a lot of fun. Brought me back to my childhood. But let's be serious. Lego's are for anyone of any age right? (Well, except for babies, haha.)  My brother is 30 and recently bought the space shuttle. It took him HOURS to put it together. It's very very cool!

Today we have a couple that feature travel!

We are going to see Emma again. This is Emma's Sports Car!

Out of all the playsets I received, this one is my favorite for a few reasons. I love the little car and that she brings her kitty with her. She is also holding her smartphone. You can't see it in my photos but she has a music app open. Nothing like driving with a little music!

My favorite part is the little picnic table....complete with a sandwich! Also has a camera, a bottle of water and a book so Mia has a place to relax.

It also has some signage showing the area of Heartlake (where all the friends live.) It also has directional signs showing the way to the beach and to the mountains!

Purse? Check. Kitty? Check. Phone? Check. All ready to go! Remember Emma, no texting and driving!

Another set that features travel. Seeing Olivia again we have Olivia's Ice Cream Bike!

She's ready to sell ice cream! Get it before it melts!

Her cute little bike with her ice cream cart.

This playset also has some adorable little accessories. A cute little picnic table for people to sit and eat their ice cream. Also a bottle of water and a letter to mail.

It actually fits in the mail box!

And then a water fountain. Notice the coins in the bottom?

That's all for today. What do you think of Emma's Sports Car and Olivia's Ice Cream Bike? Let me know in the comments!

Until next time!

Lego Extravaganza.....To The Beach!

Greetings!

Back again with more Lego! 

In my Barbie Goes Lego post, I mentioned that my dad bought a huge box of Lego's at a garage sale. He saw that the box included a Barbie lego set so he got it for me. 

I come from a long history of Legos. We had tons of playsets growing up. I can't tell you how many times my brother and I tore down and rebuilt our firehouse and fire truck playset. (So many times the instruction book was frayed and fell apart.) 

A huge box of Lego can be a little intimidating when you don't have the instructions. The only saving grace was that these playsets were already partially put together. I went on line and searched and and found ALL the instructions! Score!

AND, and even bigger bonus.....I had every single last piece. That is amazing considering that usually pieces get lost.

So today, we are going to take a look at some of the beach playsets that I put together. 

These playsets are from the Lego Friends line. They feature a cute little mini-doll with the playset. 

This is Emma's Lifeguard Post!

Here is cute little Emma with her binoculars and flotation ready to save the day!

It even came with a little dolphin! I like how they added some blue transparent angled bricks to simulate ocean waves. 

Also came with a nice place to build a sand castle. I love the bucket and the Sea Star!

Another beach set we have is Olivia's Beach Buggy!

This one is so adorable. I love how she has her little buggy and surfboard. Ready to hit the waves!

There also is an adorable little palm tree, complete with coconuts!

It also has a little fruit box and a pineapple and ice cream stand. I love the pineapple, so adorable!

Here she is, ready to go!

Well, that's all I have of the beach playsets. What do you think of Emma and Olivia? Do you have any Lego Friends playsets? Let me know in the comments below!

More Lego coming soon!

Barbie Goes Lego

Welcome Back!  

Quite a while ago my dad gave me a huge box of Legos. He saw that one of the pieces had Barbie on it so he bought the entire box. (And this was no small box!) I took them because, well, Barbie but then Jacob will be into Lego's someday so it would be fun to keep them for him when he gets older.  

Just one problem. No instructions.  

There were a few in the box so I put those together to get rid of some of the pieces, I was working with process of elimination here. My saving grace was that some of the lego playsets were still together so I didn't have a bunch of single random pieces floating around. That helped me with my huge internet search of Lego playsets.

Here is what I put together for the Barbie set.

Mega Bloks makes Barbie branded Lego sets (I think they're owned by Mattel.) Did you know Mattel also owns Fisher-Price? I know right?

This is the Barbie Build 'n Style Ice Cream Cart.

Here she is holding her delicious ice cream creation!

This adorable little set comes with a cart on wheels with an umbrella, a stand for her ice cream and cupcakes and our fabulous Barbie!

Also included were another Barbie and a Ken too! I don't know which set they were from or if Mega Bloks had some kind of Barbie figure blind bags but they're here and ready for some treats!

Don't you just love it?

Sadly this was the only Barbie lego in all the sets I acquired. But I did want to feature another one that is just so cute! And awesome!

I will admit this took me SO much time to research and find out what it is. Cra-Z-Art makes sets called "Lite Brix". Legos that light up! (And they are compatible with other sets so you can intermix the blocks.) This is the Bakery Kiosk.

And this is the adorable Sophia! Sorry for the lighting. When you have a flashing light underneath, no knowing which color it's going to be on when the shutter closes. 

These Lite Brix are so fun!

So friends, do you have any Barbie Mega Bloks sets? Want to get some of the Lite Brix? (So cool.) Let me know in the comments!

More Lego next time!
