LEGO 544



LEGO 544
Theme : Basic Building
Minifigure : 1
Pieces : 141
Year : 1981





This is my LEGO set from my childhood.
I'm happy to be able to find the 9 missing lego pieces (Photo below) to complete this set again.
Building this is now still as fun as it used to be.
I noticed many teeth mark print (or rather tiny dented or damaged LEGO!!) on my LEGO parts and remembered... heehee, it was me!
I used to like to bite out the LEGO apart when I was a little kid.
Now, definitely not doing this anymore! LOL!

AT-AT



AT-AT (All Terrain Armored Transport)
w/ AT-AT Driver and Speeder Bike
Theme : Legacy Collection
Make : Hasbro
Year : 2010
Batteries : 3 "AA" batteries (Not included)



I went to the OG Star Wars Morning Madness - Countdown to Star Wars Shadows of the Dark Side promotion on the 24 July 2010.
It was held only at OG Orchard Point, 8.00am.
Heard it was a big crowd in the morning and the queue started at 7am!
I wasn't among the Star Wars fans in the morning crowd.
Was there in the evening and there were still quite many collectors getting the Star Wars action figures and stuffs.
They launched the reproduction of Star Wars Vintage card.
Buy 6 Vintage figures and get a Boba Fett redemption figure free.
I'm suprised to see this AT-AT has arrived in Singapore.
It's something that I've been waiting for, so I brought it immediately.
There is also a display of this AT-AT on that day but I'm not sure if it's still there now.

This AT-AT also includes a speeder bike!

When I took out all the parts from the box, I was shocked to find the manual missing.
Then I looked through the parts, look at the box again... couldn't find it.
I was a little worried then but anyway, good that I've found it now.
Instruction manual is at the BACK of the inner packaging box (mine's stuck on a little tape.)
