LEGO throwback: magic shop

Due to limited space, most of my toys were placed in the bodega (storeroom) when we moved back to my lolo's (grandfather's) house. Included in the abandoned stuck toys are my LEGO boxes. My small collection is a mixture of different themes, but majority of the sets were Castle sets. And among those is my favorite, Majisto's Magic Shop [6020]. I can still recall the blue wizard's enchanted hideout concealed within an old tree. I can still remember that he owns a grey bird, and a glow-in-the-dark wand (glow-in-the-dark wand! how cool is that?!). But they're all trapped in the bodega! And I left the Philippines without being able to rescue them...

Magic Shop [6020] Minifigure: Majisto

So imagine my excitement when I saw a pre-loved set (minus the box and instructions) for auction in eBay UK. It was my first time ever to bid, and I guess lady luck was on my side that time because I was the only bidder, and needless to say, I won a really, really good deal! My joy was suddenly halted for Majisto's beard piece was wrong (it doesn't cover his mouth entirely, making him look like a sorcerer's apprentice poser!). After a few exchanges of e-mails, and after concluding that it was a case of an honest mistake, a replacement piece was immediately sent. Everything is now complete and in perfect condition. It's amazing how these LEGO pieces stand the tests of time. This gives me hope that one day I can still salvage my small collection in the bodega, especially my first ever Majisto, or whatever's left of him. After all, Majisto is the first ever wizard minifigure!

Did you also have the Magic Shop when you were a kid? Is it also one of your favorites? Feel free to share your memories with Majisto below.

P. S. Come to think of it, what do you think the trans-red stud represents? Blood? I mean Majisto has a small sword and he's into rituals and everything...

birthday table decoration [40153] review

Birthday Table Decoration [40153] Box What's the perfect LEGO birthday present for a LEGO enthusiast (excluding the big box sets, of course)? The LEGO Birthday Table Decoration [40153]! I recently celebrated my 30th birthday last month, and one of the gifts my ever-supportive wife gave me is the B irthday Table Decoration [40153] set. It is the perfect centerpiece in the festive table (and the perfect announcement of your current age). Birthday Table Decoration [40153] The iconic table decoration was released in the summer of 2015, retailing at  £6.99 / $9.99 / 7.99€. It m easures over 3” high, 3” wide, and 3” deep.  It comes with buildable age numbers from 1 to 99 (poor  centenarians ). The official spiel says that it i ncludes a jester minifigure, but the truth is it includes only half a minifigure. I really wish that LEGO has provided the jester his brick legs so that he can stand on his own. The jester is used in the set's pop-up function, revealing a cute birthday su...

LEGO star wars magazine: issue 17

LEGO Star Wars Magazine Issue 17 The LEGO Star Wars Magazine Issue 17 has just been released, and this month's free gift is the personal transport of the evil Emperor, it's Palpatine's Shuttle! The modified Theta-class T-2c Shuttle was the vehicle used by the Emperor to aid his injured apprentice Anakin Skywalker from the fiery planet Mustafar. Of course, all this happened towards the end of  Episode III: Revenge of the Sith . Palpatine's Shuttle This month's microbuild is a bit of a saving grace from last month's MTT, but obviously, it still hasn't top the AT-AT. It is a fun quick build, and the resemblance from the source material is easily seen. By the way, the foil pack packaging has changed in this issue. It's bigger now, and it's no longer resealable. I don't know if this will be the case from now on, or it's just because big parts were included in this month's free gift. But this makes more sense though in terms of security. There...
