Travis’ Robot

Posted on March 1, 2011 by Mike Walsh

Travis hasn’t built much recently but he came out of my office with this robot the other day.  It is a pretty clever robot but I love the fact that it is carrying a pig.

Yikes – it is. I haven’t done anything of the things I had planned to do either. šŸ™

More pictures are appearing and a release data briefly appeared on the LEGO Shop at Home web site. There is some dialog on the Eurobricks forum that this is a European only release, I really hope that is not true!

New Maersk Train?

Posted on January 26, 2011 by Mike Walsh

There is some information leaking out (see this thread on EuroBricks) about a possible new LEGO Train. It is supposedly set 10219.  This is the first set in a while that I have been excited about.  There is something about the Maersk sets that I really like – maybe it is the rare blue color.  All of the Maersk sets seem to be good designs and this would be one of the best if not the best.

No word on a release date yet, hopefully soon and hopefully it will be available in the US.
