Flea Market Hunting : Lego
Another awesome Lego mini figure we found at the flea market was the Werewolf released in Series 4. As far as I am concerned, this is one of the best looking they released! Now all we are missing is Dracula, Frankenstein and all other Lego mini monsters!

Flea Market Hunting : Lego Batman
During a recent trip to the flea market we found a few awesome Lego mini figurines! The first one was The Penguin. Collectors of Lego Batman knows just how rare and expensive those lego Batman mini figurines and sets are. Lucky for us, we got a very good price for this one!

Lego Alien Conquest
Isaac and I love Lego! What started very small as become a whole sub-culture on its own! And with Isaac about to turn five, he has the perfect to enjoy Lego.
A few months ago we saw online that they were coming out with a new series, Alien Conquest. Isaac kept talking to me about how he wanted that big Alien spaceship... now he does.
UFO Abduction is set number 7052 and contains 211 pieces. Its a very cool set that comes with three Lego mini figures, lots of accessories and a superb Alien spaceship! Another cool thing is that the spaceship actually illuminates and there is a trap under to capture humans!
Look how proud and happy he is!

Isaac has a twin!
Ever heard of the Twin Theory? Everyone supposedly has a "twin" somewhere in the world... I guess we found the twin of my son!
In a very heart warming email I received a few weeks ago, a mom wrote me; "Hi there – I’m in Calgary and came across your blog when I was doing a search – and I have to tell you that I had to look twice to make sure this wasn’t a picture of my son. They could pass for twins!"
"our son’s look so much alike that we had to check the furniture in one of the pictures where he was playing with the minifigs to make sure that wasn’t our house."
AhhAHHAhHA just how amazing is that! Wow!
Little Jordi from Calgary Canada looks a lot like Isaac! And I mean a lot! In some pictures they send me I was even doubting if it was my son or not!
"Isaac looks alot like Jordi especially in some pictures – long eyelashes, big brown eyes, similar nose – Jordi is really into star wars and lego – last year he placed 2nd in a lego competition in his age category"
Thank you Raelene for this great email!
All the best to you and your beautiful family!

ToyCon : Godzilla
The last Godzilla monster we got was the amazing 12" classic MechaGodzilla! Like the previous two this one looks amazing and is so much fun! This is the Millenium MechaGodzilla 3 aka Kiryu, from the movies Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla and Godzilla Tokyo SOS.
Introduced in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974). He is Godzilla's mechanical doppelgänger and one of the most popular Toho kaiju. Mechagodzilla is also recognized as one of Godzilla's most powerful enemies (all iterations have at one point or another come very close to killing the King of the Monsters).

ToyCon : Godzilla
Another very cool giant monster we got was the 12" deluxe classic version of Gigan! Its a superbly detailed and sculpted figure.
Gigan is a kaiju (Japanese giant monster) from the Godzilla series, introduced in the 1972 film Godzilla vs. Gigan. Gigan is a cybernetic monster sporting a buzzsaw weapon in its frontal abdominal region and large metallic hooks for hands. Gigan is considered Godzilla's most brutal and violent opponent, alongside Destroyah, both of which were easily able to severely injure Godzilla. Gigan was also the first monster in the Toho sci-fi series to cause Godzilla to visibly bleed.

ToyCon : Godzilla
At the ToyCon we finally found those amazing Godzilla figure released by Bandai. Out in 2007, this deluxe 11" Godzilla is probably the best looking one. Based on the Godzilla Final Wars movie this is one mean version of Godzilla.

ToyCon : Aliens
While walking around the ToyCon, Isaac noticed this gross and scary action figure based on James Cameroun's ALIENS. He asked me what it was. After a quick explanation, Isaac asked me if we could buy it. At only $4 I couldn't refuse. And thus began Isaac's love for Aliens!
We got the special deluxe Alien Queen based on Aliens. The Queen Alien has two features. When you press the back of the head in, the inner jaw of the queen will slash out from the mouth. On the hip is a button, when pressed the queen will quickly turn at the waist and her tail we knock down anything.
Its a very cool figure and Isaac hasn't stopped playing with it... this is NOT the last one we are getting thats for sure!
