Do you remember the first time you've played LEGO?
How old were you?
I remember fixing it,
Then dismantling it,
Then fixing it,
Then dismantling it again...
This will go on and on for me when I was young.
Days and days spent on playing with LEGO.
Counting the dots on the bricks.
As I am not creative, I would always built as instructed in the manual.
Exactly the same model.
Whenever someone strike lottery or 4D in the family, I would set a set of LEGO.
Actually, I still have my very first set of LEGO.
Hee hee, it's a very small LEGO house.
Maybe, one day, I should get it fix and post a picture of it!

I had considered for a long time before I finally went ahead to get this one.
Like the droids mini figures in this set.
There are a total of 12 LEGO mini figures.
Jawas looks cool too.




One feature that attracts me to buy this set is this hoisting top that can transport the droids up and down.


Another favourite part of the vehicle!

I saw the original "Star Wars" the year it was released. Even as a non-scifi/fantasy fan, I thought it was great. My husband loves the movies, we own most of them.
I like your blog - and I love your little cockatiel, Elmo!
Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting. I don't usually write such thought-provoking stuff - it's mostly light, fun, rhyming verse. Come back periodically and check it out.
