In reading about this contest, I looked through their website. They have some awesome fantasy creatures in their Eldrador line. I’m definitely getting A Kraken and a Lava Scorpion. Schleich has some awesome looking toys I have some of their dragons and my son has some of their animals.

There’s a new R2-KT challenge coin on the way. This one uses a redesign of a patch. The coin displays R@-KT on onside and the child on the other. Sales of the coin benefit the United Way Covid-19 World Relief Fund.
The patch was designed to show separation by how we positioned the characters, but the coin makes it even more clear: R2-KT on one side, the Child (aka Baby Yoda) on the other. Separated, but never far apart.

This weekend is the 40th anniversary of the release of The Empire Strikes Back! Boba Fett made his big screen debut in Empire so here are a few pic of the bounty hunter. He was in the animated section of the Star Wars special before Empire but we don’t talk about that.
UPDATE: I removed a picture from this post. It was the promo image of the Hallamark LEGO Boba Fett Ornament. I didn’t take that one and didn’t catch it till afterI made the post.

LEGO has annoucned a new series LEGO Sketches, These were designed by LEGO artist Chris McVeigh. He’s been making these on his site for years. But now are an official set that you can get this summer.
These first sets are BB-8, First Order Stormtrooper, Batman and Joker. I’ll get BB-8 and Batman.
I like how how designed batman grin.
I’ve admired these since I saw the on Chris’ site. They remind me of the old Toys R US build of Captain America set my son made. I toyed around with building my own character portraits like this but never got far. I bought some plates for it and that;s about as far as I got. The Brick Sketches have a better look that this old kit. The blocky look is replaced by a more in depth look. I can’t wait for these.
