Although both Mark and I are massive fans of Lego, according to the blog, I have never actually posted about it. We usually get a few bits and pieces for Christmas and birthdays but when we saw this amazing Wall-E set on the Lego Ideas site, I fell in love and bought it as soon as we saw it. The set was designed by Pixar animator Angus MacLane and it is such a detailed set. Although it's not cheap at £40, that is very reasonable for a Lego set of this size and complexity (especially when you use your Clubcard vouchers to buy it, haha! I have been a fan of Wall-E since the film was released in 2008 and it is a fitting addition to my collection of memorabilia. When we picked it up in Tesco, they aksed us if it was a present and we said yes, we just didn't mention that it was a gift for us! ;)
It all came packed in a sturdy cardboard box which we tipped all of the Lego into once we opened all of the packets...
...and there was a lot of it!
In total, there were 178 stages in the build and it took a couple of hours to assemble on Monday night. I started it with Mark but I was falling asleep by 10 o' clock so Mark finished it off for me. I am so rock 'n' roll!
The level of detail on this is just astounding and thanks to some clever pieces, he is fully poseable. I love the fact that his tummy opens too, you could actually fit the plant inside. Yes, I am a complete child but I love how much personality this little critter has.
I mean, who wouldn't love this cute little face?!
Are you a Lego fan?

Ohmygosh! This is the cutest Wall-E ever. I had no idea Lego had collaborated with Pixar.
I have had my eye on the Simpsons Kwik-E Mart forever!
Lego is SIMPLY amazing x x x
I've been thinking recently that Lego really isn't just for kids! Some of the sets are so complex! My dad loves models and making things so Lego is definitely a new option to add to the list of ideas! Wall-E is adorable!
Oh man, this is adorable! I love Wall-E!

That's loads of fun, and good to know I'm not the only one who still buys toys!

Oh, he's so cute! It was always my sisters who were really into Lego in my house - they still have huge collections, but I was more about Sylvanian Families and Barbies.
