LEGO 7952 Kingdoms Advent Calendar – Day 14

Posted on December 14, 2010 by

For Day 14 of the LEGO 7952 Kingdoms Advent Calendar, we’ve got a nice little vignette paying homage to the legend of King Arthur as well as (possibly) The Sword in the Stone novel by T.H. White, which happens to also cover the legend of King Arthur. Depending on your view of things and which movies or novels you have read, it might be considered the same as Excalibur, but they are considered different swords by many. The Sword in the Stone is a sword that can only be removed by a future King of England, and it’s been incorporated in many novels and stories over the centuries. The LEGO Company has managed to incorporate the legend in less than 10 pieces and it’s a nice little scene.

LEGO Bullseye Target Mascot Exclusive Gift Card 4620157

Posted on December 13, 2010 by

I went to one of the zillion Targets in the Houston area, and finally found the LEGO Bullseye Target Mascot Exclusive Gift Card. This set depicts Target’s popular bull terrier mascot Bullseye in all his glory. Weighing in at 31 pieces, this plastic pooch makes an excellent stocking stuffer for any LEGO fan. One cool thing to note is that this set does come with a unique Target logo brick that is used as one of Bullseye’s eyes. Buying this item does require a gift card purchase; the barcode for which is located on the back of the cool little clear plastic box (marked “Build a Bullseye) the set comes bagged in. These will be available while supplies last!

Note: the gift cards are good for non-LEGO purchases.

Update: A quick check of Bricklink shows that this is set 4620157
