I'd like to say that i've been busy, but no, I haven't really. I haven't been away either, at least not physically, and generally the two weeks between this and my last post have been filled with the usual trivialities and procrastination as there always is. If you came looking for intrigue, mystery and excitement, I apologise. But look at what i've been building the past few nights; Lego's 10190 Market Street!

It's one of those sets i've been after a while, but everytime i've gone to buy it there's been distractions, either finanacially or otherwise.

 

The set itself has been out since last year, so naturally i'm late to the party, but it's one of the (currently) three sets that make up the modular Lego Factory theme- that's right, it's one of those new-fangled sets actually designed by a Lego fan. We love Lego, they love us.

As such, it's built better than most contemporary sets, and naturally, looks a hell of a lot better too. I haven't got the funds to get the other sets just yet, but I do have the bricks to expand upon it my way- i'm hoping to have another building either side of it once I find the time and enthusiasm.

 

The set's got great pieces though- there's plenty of new light-blue and navy-blue bricks, even if it isn't for display it's a great source of bricks. For me and my constant lack of a designated Lego room/garage/bunker/geek centre this is good news.
