251 Lego Boxes

251 Lego Boxes

Object: Two Lego box-things

Acquired: Unknown

From: Mom and Dad, who got them at a garage sale

Notes: I think these might be lego-themed file boxes? They are about the size and shape of a file box.  And certainly the way they open is not conducive to keeping Legos in.  I rarely use them, and when I do it is for non-box purposes.

225 Lego Minifigs

225 Lego Minifigs

Object: Lego Minifig collection

Acquired: 2011

From: Various

Notes: Just assume I have more of these. Because I already DO, and I'll only accumulate more and more of them as time goes on. They are like candy, I swear.

163 Lego Minifigs

163 Lego Minifigs

Object: 3 Lego minifigs from Series 4; the painter, the werewolf, and the punk rocker

Acquired: May 2011

From: Target

Cost: $3 each

Notes: These are similar to objects 082-084, but I thought I'd give them just one entry this time, save us all a bit of sanity. I LOVE these guys. LOVE LOVE LOVE. And in the whole series of 16 there's only three that I don't quite want to own, as opposed to series 3 where I only wanted about three of them. I'm very excited by the chance to collect more in the future. Now that I know where Target stocks them (I looked all over for series 3 guys but failed to find them, these were practically falling off the shelf).

133 Ring

133 Lego Ring

Object: A ring made with a Lego brick and a bit of craft wire

Acquired: Unknown

From: Made it myself, actually

Notes: My first attempt at Lego jewelry making. You can actually buy shit like this--well, jewelry made with Legos anyway--now-a-days in all sorts of online stores. I believe I did it first, but since I never tried to make any money off of it, well...

084 Lego

084 Lego Minifig

Object: Lego Pilot Minifig

Acquired: March 2011

From: Lego.com

Cost: $2.99

Notes: This was the third minifig I got. He's...okay. I'd really been hoping for the elf or the samurai or something. But at least this guy wasn't as much of a let-down as the NASCAR racer.

And I'd totally buy more of them if I ever get the chance!

083 Lego

083 Lego Minifig

Object: Lego NASCAR Racer minifigure

Acquired: March 2011

From: Lego.com

Cost: $2.99

Notes: Oh MAN, I'd been hoping I'd get the NASCAR racer Lego guy. I mean, I LOVES me some NASCAR. *rolls eyes*

Well, at least it wasn't the rapper? or the baseball player. And at least I only got ONE of him.

082 Lego

082 Lego Minifig

Object: Lego Cyborg Minifigure

Acquired: March 2011

From: Lego.com

Cost: $2.99

Notes: Lego has this series of 16 minifigs you can buy, one at a time and without knowing what they are. This is apparently the third series they've made, and I figured, since I was already buying stuff from Lego, I might as well buy a couple of these, too.  The Cyborg is kinda neat. I guess.

081 Lego

081 Lego Keychain

Object: Lego Keychain of some monstery-thing from the Lego Atlantis series

Acquired: March 2011

From: Lego.com

Cost: $.98

Notes: I'm not sure what he is, but I thought he looked kinda cool, so I got him anyway. Currently he's the one elected to live on my actual keys, since I don't like him as much. He's a bit uncomfortably spiky in my pocket, though.

080 Lego

080 Lego Key Chain

Object: Lego Prince of Persia Keychain

Acquired: March 2011

From: Lego.com

Cost: $2?

Notes: He was on sale, but not as good of a sale as the princess and the king. I'm not a huge fan of the actor who this Lego represents, but thought I ought to get it for the sheer hilarity of it. And I liked the movie.

079 Lego

079 Lego Keychain

Object: Lego king key chain

Acquired: March 2011

From: Lego.com

Cost: $.98

Notes: The princess' father...

078 Lego

078 Lego Keychain

Object: Lego princess keychain

Acquired: March 2011

From: Lego.com

Cost: $.98

Notes: Like I said, I got several of these. I wouldn't have bothered with her if she hadn't been only $.98. Sadly, the very best of the keychains were sold out. Not that I should be surprised by that.

077 Lego

077 Lego Keychain

Object: White Ninja Lego Keychain

Acquired: March 2011

From: Lego.com

Cost: $3?

Notes: My last Lego ninja keychain can be seen attached to Object 040: Knife. If you look at it, you can tell that it's been rather abused, as have almost all of my Lego keychains. So when I wandered onto the Lego website the other day, and found that keychains were on sale, well... The next few entries should make what I did pretty clear. This ninja was NOT, in fact, on sale, but I go him anyway.

040 Knife

040 Knife

Object: Pocket Knife with Lego Ninja Keychain

Acquired: Knife: 2010; Keychain: unknown

From: Knife: probably Walmart, Keychain: Lego Shop-at-Home

Cost: $20, unknown

Notes: Knife: I lost my last pocket knife at a mall movie theater, and when I went to ask if it was in the lost and found the guy at the counter freaked out and told me the security guards would have something like that (though he wouldn't tell me where the security guards were). As if it were a murder weapon and not a two-inch collapsing blade.

Keychain: He's the most bad-ass ninja ever, since he's only got one leg and one hand. He was on my backpack for a long time, but I kept losing pocket knives because they didn't have a proper anchor in my pocket (why do they keep making jeans' pockets smaller? WHY?), so I thought I'd give this guy a try. Haven't lost the knife yet.
