The Lego® Company has still got it.

June 25, 2006

After reading about the NXT in SHS`' blog back in January and reading about it's great features such as having an AVR microcontroller embedded in it, I couldn't think the Lego® Company could get much better. This all changed a few days ago when my subscription to Lego World Club came in the mail.



To my surprise, for the first time ever it actually came with a small Lego set. This is quite peculiar as firstly it has never come with one before, and secondly I have only ever paid renewal once, and every other time they have renewed for free, so this must be costing them quite a bit of money.



I open the packet, and there is a good selection of pieces, quite a few more then you would have received in a McDonalds Happy Meal back in the early 90s.



Surprisingly enough it also came with a Lego man, if you have ever bought a pack of 5 Lego men before, you will know that in the late 90s they equated to about $2 each retail (to be honest, I once recieved a Darth Vador keyring Lego man as part of this, but never a set).

It only took a few minutes to construct the set as it was quite a small one, and the instructions were easy to follow.




Thats about it, sorry I have no idea what the set is supposed to be, but hey, free Lego is free Lego :D.
