MY NEW HERO FACTORY TOY DRILLDOZER FROM UNCLE DUNCAN

Yesterday my dad's friend Uncle Duncan bought me this this great hero factory figure called Drilldozer.

Drilldozer doesn't have any hands because he has a drill and a claw instead. He is a villain, 2nd in command of the fire lord's team in  Hero Facotry.  He has two different looks and is able to drain power from fuel cells just by touching it in the movie Hero Factory 2.0

 

On the back of the box there was a cool fight scene with Nex 2.0 so I recreated it for this photo.

I liked this gift from my Uncle Duncan and will have fun playing with it and setting up cool scenes.

Something fun to do with Lego Accesories

 

My brother Oliver thought this would be fun so I made my name out of my Lego accessories I wanted to do my name out of Lego Mini Figures but I do not have enough.

Send me your name in LEGO photos to my mom's email account at karenmowen@gmail.com and I will post your photo here on my blog. 

Happy creating!

Lego Crayons by Nicholas are now avalible for sale in my moms Etsy Shop!

Today I started to make and sell my own Lego Crayons! I am selling them to raise money for my own Lego Brick collection. My mom bought the molds and I make the crayons by peeling crayons and baking them.
It is hard work peeling the crayons but it is fun to make them and I think it will be fun to sell them. I hope to buy the new Lego Mini figures and Alien Conquest from Lego with the money I make from selling these crayons.
Here is the link to my mom' s Etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/listing/79374618/upcycled-lego-crayon-by-nicholas

I am selling three Lego Men Crayons and Three Lego Crayon Bricks for $3 plus shipping.  Oh and you get to tell me what colors you would like to have, I make them to order! If you need more then I have listed we can give you a special price for a larger amount of crayons.
If you would like to order some they are great for everyday use and would make great gifts for birthdays or holidays. I also think they would make really neat loot-bag or treat-bag gifts!

I will be back again soon with more Lego ideas and posts soon.~Nicholas

You can make some great LEGO creations from directions on line!

When we were in California it was So hot! It was more then 45 degrees (in the100's) so we spent allot of time during the day indoors, my mom brought a container of Lego with us on our trip and one day when we were indoors we all were building our own Lego. My mom made this duck in the photo above from directions she found on line.

Following the instructions my mom made this cool duck. You can find directions on how to make your own duck and many other Lego Creations at http://creative.lego.com/en-us/FamilyTime/buildinginstructionssecret/BuildingInstructionsBoxSecret.aspx?domainredir=www.legofamilytime.com

Playing Lego as a family was so much fun. later that night my Aunty Janeen built a large truck , I was building a sling shot of Lego, it sort of worked.
Check out the directions on making some really fun Lego creations like my mom did or you can just use your imagination like I do. ~by Nicholas

More Lego Adventures with Nicholas...

On vacation my mom picked up this movie from Best Buy for only $6.99. This movie is about a Lego Figure called Clutch Powers and a Jail brake on a prison planet. The three villains escape, and its up to Clutch to save the day.
I really liked this movie especially because we spent 14 hours a day driving to and from California, and I got to watch this one on the way home.
When I got home I wanted to use my movie as an inspiration to make my own Lego city, here is what I made.

 

I started with standard Lego bricks that I already had and I made a bank building first. 

Then it started to evolve from there, I made more parts of the city, including cars and parking spaces. I used all my mini figures as characters for my city.

This picture shows the park I made .

The weather was really nice so I built my Lego city outside. 

If you see this DVD in the store and you like Lego you should pick up this DVD and make your own Lego city .

Legoland from a mom's perspective

Hi I am Nicholas' mom Karen and this is a photo of my younger sons Alex and Oliver and I on one of the fun "rides" at Legoland, in California.

We took our three boys to Legoland this summer and I am so glad we did. I wanted to share some of the park highlights and services available to families, especially families who have children or family members with special needs. Nicholas' brothers have Autism.  For a family with children with special needs going to new places and busy places like Legoland can be very difficult. Legoland really makes it easy for families of children with special needs to enjoy the park together as a family. For our younger sons, waiting in long lines is very difficult, noises, smells and crowds can be very challenging for them, so we were thrilled to find out that there is a special access pass for families with children who require assistance. This pass made it easier for us to enjoy the park because we were able to go in the Exit of each ride we wanted to go on and be given an exact time to come back. This made it so that if we had to wait a long time we could go find somewhere quiet to sit and wait instead of standing in lines. Sometimes we were able to ride almost right away.
The staff at the rides and the park were fantastic. Each of them  making a point of talking to our kids and offering assistance on and off rides. There is no additional fee for this pass, just check in with customer service when you arrive.

The park also has re-useable  family lockers and a service where if you buy something while in the park you can pick it up on your way out of the park, not having to carry it with you all day.  One of the highlights of our second day was trading the mini figures with the staff in the park, it was so much fun, for under $3 we were able to trade all day with the staff who all have name tags made out of Lego and  if they have a mini figure on them you can trade them for what you have, Nicholas traded several times and it was allot of fun. There is lots to see at Legoland so I recommend comfortable shoes, sunscreen and the lockers so you do not have to carry large bags with you all day. You can rent strollers for the younger ones, and there are lots of places to stop and sit. Oh and they have these amazing APPLE FRENCH FRIES with Whipped cream I totally recommend trying!

I recommend if you are going to buy your drinks at the park purchase the kind you can refill for a small amount of money. Also the lunches in the restaurants for the boys came with raisins and you can upsize your kids pack to get the refillable cup.Which makes a great take home souvenir.  The water park had lots of long lines for the slides which were worth the wait, however if we were to do the water park again  I would recommend renting a cabana and having a comfortable place to sit and relax.

There was so much to see and do and I loved that all the boys had a great time, regardless of their ages and abilities.
Well we will be back with more Lego posts soon! ~by Karen Owen
