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...

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...

LEGO nexo knights magazine issue 10

LEGO Nexo Knights Issue 10 The LEGO Nexo Knights Magazine Issue 10 is currently on sale, and there's more than one free gift! Before everything else, I would like to apologize for two things. First, for the brief hiatus. Life happened . I'll still try to blog as often as possible though. I'll try my best. Second, for this very tardy post. Issue 10 came out last 16 November but for some reason our local shops don't have it. I have to literally travel downhill to purchase one in the big supermarket. Fortunately, they still have a few on the shelf. And to my surprise, it's a bumper issue! That means it's £1 more expensive. But good thing my bonus toy is a Lava Warrior, so that basically offsets the extra pound. And who says no to army building? I wonder what the others got... Lava Warrior Issue 10's free gift is insanely cool! Ladies and gentlemen, the Mech Bot! Mech Bot The Mech Bots are featured heavily in this issue's comics. They were worn by the Nexo K...

LEGO star wars magazine: issue 15

LEGO Star Wars Magazine Issue 15 LEGO Star Wars Magazine Issue 15 has just been released , and this month's free gift is the iconic AT-AT! The All Terrain Armored Transport, or AT-AT for short, is a four-legged combat walker used by the Empire's  ground forces . It first appeared   in The Empire Strikes Back , then prominently featured in Star Wars Rebels , and, more recently, also seen in The Force Awakens (as background wreckage). Older versions seems to be in the  Rogue One: A Star Wars Story , but they may (or may not) be under a different name ( UPDATE: They are apparently called All Terrain Armored Cargo Transport or AT-ACT ).  Being one of the most famous symbols of the Empire's military might, it's no surprise that the AT-AT is the microbuild of Issue 15 . AT-AT So far, the AT-AT is my favorite magazine microbuild (next to the  Naboo Starfighter). I simply love its minimalist look. With only 48 brick pieces, it's a wonder that it accuratel...
