Original, 1979 toy-fair, award-winning,
astronauts, now available as LED torches! That's too cool for space-school!
There were also - originally - black and yellow spacemen, they must be chasing
down Mr. Musk's sports-car!
Re-Creation has the territory-license for Lego's
non-toy stuff, and they had plenty of other things on display (bags, belts,
stationary, Swatch-like watches), but
I was concentrating on the mini-figure related stuff.
I don't know the significance in the
backing-card graphic changes here . . . new range? It may be that different
corporate/bulk customers (Tesco or Sainsbury's for instance) can stipulate
packaging . . . I should have asked while I was there . . .hay-ho!
The new characters from the recent movies
are starting to be included alongside the older icons of the franchise, and
larger versions are available of some of those iconic characters, I have the
little Darth Vader (we saw him the other day here at SSW), but I bet the large
one is blinding!
Which reminds me; if you're buying the
Darth, check he has a cloak, I bought two back in 2012, one for a friend and
one for me and didn't notice mine was missing it's cloak, someone had nicked
it, presumably to replace a damaged one at home!
DC and other Lego themed figures, each in
the graphics of their respective toy-range . . . I like the old-school Batman &
Robin, and the Joker.
There's that babe in the sexy-basque again,
but looking more like someone's granny! And I love the Clark Kent with his
shirt ripped-open, only trouble being - Lego
Minis (formerly Legoland Minifigures!) can't get their hands round to the fronts of
their chests!
If they've sold 8-point-something million
of them in the UK and Eire, that's about one per hundred people . . .no, it's
one per every ten people? Oh . . . bother! [Get's the calculator up on the
screen!] It is! it's approximately one per every 10 or 11 citizens! Well - I've
got mine, have you got yours - they're very good - while the batteries are
fresh!
