a Lego Hero Factory G I V E A W A Y for brave little Lego fans

Greetings all,

Lego Hero Factory is not for the faint hearted, it's down right monster scary.  But isn't that what children love - transformerish Lego creations which twist & morph into the most frightening & ominous creature they can imagine??  My 4 sweet angelic children love a bit of evil Voldermort kind of horror.

My 7 year old did ask for some assistance in the construction of our complimentary new friend Raw Jaw, the revolutionary ball & socket joints are a bit tough to click in place for little fingers.  We'll be adding to the collection with his heroes Storma, Nex, Bulk & Rocka (they even have back stories on their strengths & abilities!!)  It's really suitable for ages 7-16 or fathers, i know they LOVE their Lego too!!

 The Hero Factory is set in the jungle, they're on a mission to restore peace in Quatros, by defeating the sinister, spell casting Evil Witch Doctor.  New age Lego = a unique code to unlock exclusive content at www.HeroFactory.LEGO.com + a movie on Nickelodeon, of course!!  Go old school & let your children undertake their own imaginery missions, or they can listen to Hero Factory FM for the latest Hero Challenges.  If your child is heavily into computers, there is Hero Recon to customise their own Hero at www.herorecon.lego.com. 

Raw Jaw is nice & solid, bits have not been falling off him & he's been in a few battles this weekend, yes, including smurfs (i have my original ones from the 1980's, mum saved them for me with my childhood Lego). 

Ok, so he is MUCH loved & has had a few kisses.

Just a little shout out that Lego Creator released Lighthouse Island, Hillside House & Cool Cruiser last month, along with The Hidden Forest, The Knight Bus & Howarts to the Harry Potter range.  For the Star Wars freaks, you can add a bunch of new Lego to your collection with very scary names like Sith Nightspeeder & Ewok Attack - i thought Ewoks were cute, squeaky & cuddly??  Must be wrong.      

Have you noticed this on my side bar "it's always Lego time at our house" keep scrolling.  I queued up almost 2 hours in Canberra Winter to see creations like this cuckoo clock at the Lego Brick Expo - which was so good i spread it over 2 posts here & here.  We are nothing if not devoted to Lego.

Alrighty, the friendly folk at One Green Bean & Lego are offering . . .
3 boxes of Hero Factory to giveaway, value $19.99 each. 
Just follow this blog & leave a comment here, da dah, you're in.  The 3 lucky winners will be drawn randomly, at 9p.m. on Sunday 11th September 2011, good luck!!

Before you go, some feel good Lego facts . . . the Lego Group is still a private family company in Denmark, devoted to children's creative & imagination abilities, available in 130 countries.  Lego was founded in 1932 (the year my daddy was born & the Sydney Harbour Bridge was opened) - a very good year indeed.  Love Posie

PS Massive thanks to all the interesting feedback & comments on yesterday's post!!  I'm responding to everyone with an email contact, such a wonderful, hearty opinions from all sides.  You're the best!!

test driving Lego Creator for Christmas

Greetings all,

I have dedicated my adult life to handmade affairs & raising well rounded children.  I was raised on handmade too + a happy childhood filled with Lego (it was my first love over Barbie/ My Little Pony/ Care Bear/ Strawberry Shortcake) & i love re-living this with my 4 children who are all Lego mad too!!  The friendly people at One Green Bean sent some Lego Creator to test drive, ahhh, the building blocks of handmade from Danish plastic fantastic. My son leapt at the chance to make the snowman . . .

 . . . check out that focus & attention & tan . . .

 i know, can you believe it, a man reading instructions!!

. . . um, he made the broom, couldn't resist step 13 first . . .

 he loves his new bed, it's a great play platform

 . . . he had to fend of 3 nosey big sisters . . .

 excuse the goofy face, this really was the best of 6 shots!! 

Da dah, now pride & place with our handmade Christmas decorations including an untouched GingerBreadHouse # 2 . . . sits my son's proud Lego Creator snowman.  I wonder if the Lego will breed as quickly as those Allana C giraffes did??  I'm a sucker for Lego, of course it will.  Great activity for a gloomy weather day, he's already broken the snowman down, built the him back up again & added extra 'Christmas lights' to the snowman's hat.  Love creative children.
Now back to my post market coma, ok, so we've been clothes shopping today . . .  but oh my aching thighs from bobbing up & down all day to get change behind my stall yesterday, i used over 150 paper carry bags, so that was a lot of lunges & thigh blasting!!  Love Posie
