janewilliams20 We are not, either of us, much into Lego. Have been in the past, admire what can be done with it, but total Lego in the house, zero. Until, that is, I saw some minifigs on Biggleswade market and noticed that one of them (probably meant to represent some comic figure or other), was female, had armour and a sword, predominantly blue clothing, and a star on her forehead. It just had to happen, didn't it?
Unfortunately, her hair is brown, not red. I've taken a quick look online at the cost of obtaining some replacement hair, or an entire figure whose hair could be swapped, and winced. (I did notice a "warrior goddess" figure that looks a lot like Vega Goldbreath, though)
So, I mentioned to Dave that from now on, visits to car boot sales and charity shops should include a quick look for Lego minifigs.
Yesterday, we visited two charity shops, where he found and purchased... a Lego tank. He's sure it'll be useful for something. The only minifig included is
a) wearing a helmet
b) missing from the box.
But it's a tank.... and it's a kit....
(sigh)
