Some furniture for the Great Hall has emerged during the past several days of the Harry Potter Advent Calendar, establishing great consistency which is appreciated.
Here's a press release about a product that will make a useful and interesting gift for LEGO-loving youngsters:
New kit on the block takes play to another level!
Every structure needs a firm base and that’s what gave a man from Romsey in Hampshire the inspiration to develop a new construction toy.
Base Ace, the brainchild of Brian Stickley, provides children with an exciting, expandable 3D structure on which to build and play.
“You can join, stack and expand to create unique environments such as Spaces Stations, Castles or an exciting backdrop for a Superhero mission,” said Brian, 49.
Crucially the system, which was developed with the help of Southampton Solent University, is compatible with brick brands such as LEGO and Mega Bloks.
We've just completed the first week of the calendar! There have been some nice little builds - I still love the penguins from Day 2, and the cake from Day 6 was quite nice. I'm still waiting for the builds to take a decidedly Christmas turn. Maybe we'll start off the second week in that direction.
Today's random set is 8570 Gali Nuva, released in 2002. It's one of 28 Bionicle sets produced that year. It contains 44 pieces, and its retail price was US$8/£4.99.
It's owned by 3212 Brickset members. If you want to add it to your collection you might find it for sale at BrickLink or eBay.
