I’m not a big gamer, but I do like games that you can just put on for ten minutes to kill a bit of time. I’ve been playing the LEGO Star Warson the PC for a while now and just love it. The way they have made the game and the game play is a nice departure from the usual shoot everything types games, or games that need 3 weeks of solid game play just to get past the welcome screen. This game is based on Episode I, II & III so you get characters like Anakin, Darth Maul, General Grevious and Mace Windu.

Then came LEGO Star Wars II which is pretty much the same thing, but based on Episode IV, V & VI with characters like Luke, Han and Princess Leia.

Recently a new game has been released that joins the two together and brings a few additional levels to the game, and best of all, if you play it on the Nintendo Wii, you get to use the light saber by waving your Wii remote around. For any Star Wars fan, that has got to be a reason for buying it! Oh, it’s called LEGO Star Wars Complete Saga.

So that’s Star Wars covered, but what else is there? I was also browsing through Brothers Brick again and saw them mention some screen grabs from a LEGO Batman game. My eyes lit up as it looks just as cool as the Star Wars games, so I’ll be keeping an eye out for any more news on that one.

I’m hoping the new Indiana Jones sets spark off plans for an Indy game too, and looking at the Lucasarts web site, this may not be too far away.

Although I had a few LEGO kits on my Christmas list, I only ended up with one kit. I’m not complaining though, but the Star Wars battle droids aren’t the most exciting mini figures.

I have nearly completed my Batman themed figures, with only Mr Freeze to get as far as I can see. Most have the magnets in the legs but that doesn’t really bother me at all.

My Star Wars collection is growing slowly, although the figures I have left are some of the more expensive ones on ebay. Figures like Yoda, Darth Sideous (might have spelt that wrong), some of the Han Solo variations and others meaning that I’ll have to save up my pennies a bit more and look out for some good deals.

I have a few Spiderman themed figures now, but I haven’t really checked what figures are left to get here. A LEGO Spiderman figure was one of the first figures I got after deciding I would collect them, and as you can see, along with Boba Fett, forms part of the header graphic on this site.

I have various other themed figures, knights, samurai etc but there are a few themes that I really want to start collecting, but as yet have none. These are the new Indiana Jones sets, the Viking sets and the Castle series with the dwarfs and trolls.

My mini figure collection currently stands at about 210, but there are plenty I haven’t got, and several that I need to replace as they are either in poor condition or are hybrids that aren’t quite as they should be.

If you have any LEGO mini figures to sell and want them to go to a good home, please let me know.

Do any of you have complete sets, and if so, how do you check that you have them all. Are there any lists, books or web sites that have complete listings of available mini figures? I’d like to see them if there are.

Well Christmas has come and gone, and New Year has also passed with 2008 upon us.

Happy New Year everyone!

Santa was good to me and I got a few bits and pieces, and some LEGO too. I got a small LEGO Star Wars set with some droids in it, so I’ll be adding the droids to my photo catalog very soon.

I have also just got an email from the LEGO Store saying that the Indiana Jones themed sets are now available, and as luck would have it they supplied a nice banner to link straight to them, so if you want to check them out, just click through on the Indiana Jones banner at the top of this page. Might even get the credit card out myself!

I also made a New Year’s Resolution to update this site more regularly. As it’s for any mini figure, not just LEGO, I’ll be trying to cover a few other options, some may be a bit retro such as Transformers (great film!!) or others may be other popular mini figures like Warhammer, although I confess to not knowing a great deal about Warhammer… is White Dwarf still being printed?

Christmas is edging ever closer and the amount of money being spent is ever increasing. I picked this minifig up from ebay with the idea of making my Christmas cards from an image of it. Like most great ideas I have, other things got in the way and I didn’t get round to it. Maybe next year eh?

Anyway, for those that celebrate it, I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and get lots of mini figures in your Christmas stocking. I’m hoping to get a few.

This post over at Fresh Pics shows you that with a little creativity and a bit of mixing and matching with your existing LEGO mini figures, you can create anyone!

Creating these type of characters was one of the reasons I got back into LEGO, but up to now I haven’t created a great deal that is non standard. One day….. one day….

I’m going to be releasing some desktop wallpapers to brighten up your computer soon. As I have a large collection of lego figures and an interest in photography, I thought I’d make the most of both to give me a bit of lighting practice for photography, and generate a bit of content for this site.

I’ll be working on them during the week I expect, providing work doesn’t get in the way too much, so you should start seeing the free wallpapers appear around next weekend. I’ll be making various sizes to cater for standard and wide screen monitors to keep everyone happy.

I’ve had this domain for a while now, and have been collecting LEGO mini figures for a while too, so I thought it was about time I did something with it.

So here it is, another web site to add to my collection. I’m not sure how this site will evolve just yet, I think it’s going to be a way to catalog my collection and hopefully be a bit informative too.
