By a strange quirk of fate I got a tree too. Coincidence or conspiracy? Hmmmm...

I'm not going to bother photographing it - it's exactly the same as the other one I got.

Any more trees and I'll have a NON-LEGO forest!

....You could take a photo of TWO trees!!!! That'd be different!!!

Yeah, that's a tad surreal... Maybe he's the Ghost of Christmas Future? :/

Anyway, I discovered today that the helmet haired girl/guy is a right little goer!

The quality of this NON-LEGO rip off is appalling - it's got nodes still attached to some pieces (as well as extra plastic that needs trimming before it'll fit together).

The goblet I got today is actually lacking a back part to the base that attaches it to any plate - whether it'll stick or not is anyone's guess.

> Reveal 🔎

The people are also rather flimsy - their hands fall out constantly, the skier's legs fall off if you even look at him and none of their legs attach securely to plates - I had to play around for a time to get gay guy/girl to balance properly.

LEGO will always be worth more than any other similar toy, because it gets quality control perfect 99.9% of the time.

This NON_LEGO crap doesn't really need me to take the piss out of it - it does it so well all by itself.

Day Fifteen


I can deal with having a firewoman and a policeman living together. And the burglar seems somewhat in keeping with the theme.. But the spaceman seemed a little odd, and now this?!

Very odd, but at least you get quite a few bits and pieces with each of your gifts.

I've got no internet at home this morning (I'm writing this at work), so I'll have to tell you that I got a present, like the one you got the other day and like the one I got before. Except this one has a red bobble on the top, not a yellow one. Soup herb. Not.

And in other, much less interesting news today's door reveals -

I'm hoping, that from tomorrow I start getting bits of horse. Oh, and carriage. I'm expecting to get that in a number of pieces over a number of days. Perhaps right wheel one one day and left a couple of days later. Or something shit like that.

Perhaps they're the horses legs??!

If it's any consolation, I didn't get wheels today, either..

But what I did get -

Fingers crossed for some horsemeat tomorrow - even if it's just in the shape of a Shergar burger.

It looks like he's holding a remote control - is there a small radio controlled car/vehicle to come? Tune in, next time...

.. unless the car's supposed to be remote controlled!? Maybe I shouldn't have put the driver in it!?

This fine piece of NON-LEGO plastic is the driver of the horse buggy, so fingers crossed I get a wonky-donkey tomorrow.
