While the wife and my youngest daughter went out black Friday shopping, today, I spent a couple hours making another block camera.  Picked it up off of the Temu and it came in earlier in the week.

Still only done bag 1 of 3. Busy with a lot of snow shoveling and building the Iconic Arcade unit and populating it with ROMs.

Bags.  That camera kit came with 7 bags, none of which were numbered.  Just dumped them all out on a towel and sorted them by color.
I'm putting my mech robot on hold till I get the latest 2 for my wife in.  Orchids and a coffee grinder for the bar.

Anyone following the Lego thread, also, knows that the wife bought a Lego Nutcracker kit.  Well, she also bought a Lego compatible Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer.  Enjoy.

I've been ordering some Lord of the Rings Alt-Lego pieces, few dozen orcs which are very nice and these:

my Cave Troll & Goblin KIng:


and here are the actual Lego figures:


the ones I ordered cost:
CaveTroll $4.06 (I got x2)
GoblinKing $6.33 and I had to pay a few dollars shipping (like 3 bucks)

to buy from Bricklink (real lego) the CaveTroll used with flaws cheapest I found is $50 USD plus shipping which can be as much as 20 dollars (I know I've ordered from them)
and for new/sealed is $85 USD (lowest I found and it goes up)

the Lego Goblin King used/flawed $25 and new/sealed starting at $40

can you see a difference? I have them in hand and they seem fine. the Alt non-lego ones are shinny, the Lego ones seem mat finish. coloring and fit is good. I likem  :D

My wife told me, last night, that I need to find another room to store all my toys in.  I'll bet she gets really mad when I take over her sewing room.

My wife made a Walmart run today and brought me this brickcraft mistletoe kit.
I told her that I'm gonna leave it up all year so I can get unlimited kisses.

I'm really bummed that I can't find any of the Yukon Cornelius kits though.  He reminds me of me.

some Orcs I got from AliExpress  (for my Lord of the Rings sets)

8 figures per set, I got 3 sets of these for $7.57 each set. Excellent details and fit, a little tight putting the hands on the arms but no big deal (small kids couldn't do it).

these will go good on my Barad-dûr or Battle of the Black Gate sets  ;)
