Indiana Jones and the Temple of Legos – For Brutorz Bill

Target had several Lego sets on sale, this weekend. My son, Brisco, had been drooling over the Temple of Doom playset, for months. So, at 40% off, we got it while the getting was good!

Picture 010This one was really fun to put together! Most are, though the Star Wars X-Wing set, was just a bit too trying on my patience.

A Visit to the Land of Imagination

Good morning, I hope everyone’s Sunday is going well.

Today, we’re taking a little tour of the Land of Imagination, where we’ll take a look at some of the retro and cool toys, put out by Fisher Price’s Imaginext line.

The Land of Imagination is often a little chaotic, as can be seen at the approach to the front gate.

At our first stop on the tour, we see a cool, retro looking space station. Visual cues suggest a Martian location. The station, with it’s dome structures and tower like design, is built into the rock, itself.

We have some astronauts, of course, who have discovered a strange, disturbing race of aliens living on this world, which they arrogantly claimed for their own. But the true horror, has yet to come.

Like a Lovecraftian Nightmare, the horrid aliens have possessed two of the crew members! The fellow on the left, had better think fast…

Because another of the freakish aliens, is sneaking up on his flank! I dunno, I think he’s screwed!

Let’s leave our intrepid explorer to whatever fate, which the cold, dark stars, have decreed and step into the past. Here we see, Dragon Castle! Oh, my! It looks like a siege is in progress!

The Dark Lord stands atop the center of his demesne, as dragons, beasties and warriors, attempt to batter down his defenses! Whatever shall he do?

Suddenly, the Castle itself comes to life, defending it’s master and devouring his foes!

Looks to be an interesting bit of warfare!   As the Castle Dragon devours his meal, we… oops!

The Master of the Land of Imagination has arrived and is apparently wondering what the hell I’m up to! Perhaps I can sneak in another day and we can continue our tour!
