Q is for Queen Amidala

My favourite character from Star Wars is R2D2 (obviously - since he is the saviour of everyone time and time again), but if I were to go to a Star Wars fancy dress party I would go as Queen Amidala. I loved the outfit and lipstick from the film:

You can actually buy the official fancy dress outfit (this is so great):

And the headress:

I did share my urge to buy the Queen Amidala Lego Star Wars minifigure on my L post the other day, but I think she is worth showing off again. Priced at £32.95 from FireStar Toys means that she will be staying on my wishlist for some time to come. 

Then I got to wondering what else is out there............(click on the pictures for the links).........

If you spot any others, please let me know - I might start a Pinterest board!

Digging Up Lego Bench Monday

Uh oh, I don't think this angry workman is supposed to be digging up that bench. Quick, call his supervisor........

L is for Lego

I already run a feature every Monday combining Lego with Bench Monday, imaginatively titled Lego Bench Monday, and so I'm often on the lookout for some new minifigures or Lego items to use. I've found that Firestar Toys is the best UK website (apart from eBay) for finding rare and unusual Lego bits and pieces, although it can be a little pricey. I have a wishlist on the site and often add various things to purchase when I have the spare cash. Here are a few of my favourite items that are currently on my wishlist:

Iron Man

Tony Stark

Bane's head

Campfire

Bench With Flowers

Keyboard

Sparrow (really?)

And the best of all, Queen Amidala!

Finders Keepers Lego Bench Monday

Hmmm.... not the best haul of goodies from a day's metal detecting - a hairbrush, a hammer, a carrot and some handcuffs. 

Easter Lego Bench Monday

Uh oh, looks like this lumberjack has gone rogue. Still has time for a sit down though.

Noone is going to sit on this Lego bench - not without getting through him.

Happy Double Lego Bench Monday!

It's a double helping this week as I didn't post my last Bench Monday..........

Slippery Lego Bench Monday

She dolled herself up and found the perfect ice rink to show off.

It's all fun and games until someone gets a custard pie in the face.

Exhausting Lego Bench Monday!

Electrifying Lego Bench Mon(Wednes)day

There is some scary stuff happening around the lego bench at the moment in the lead up to Halloween. Looks like Dr Mad Scientist has finally created that monster.

Sam and Dean love Lego Bench Monday

Yay, Supernatural season 7 is up on Netflix!!! That's me busy for a while then.  

The Vampire Diaries season 3 is on there too which won't last me long. I did watch 2 episodes of Gossip Girl and 1 episode of Charmed, in search for the next show to obsess over. They were both OK so I'll carry on with them once I've finished the others. 

Chosen Lego Bench Monday

In every generation there is a Chosen One. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of Lego darkness. She is the Slayer. 

Wizarding Lego Bench Monday

Looks like Harry and Luna have been having a nighttime rendezvous. What will Ginny say?

Angry Fan Lego Bench Monday

For his sins, this little Lego dude is a Tottenham Hotspur fan. Unfortunately, Spurs aren't having the best start to the season. He's particularly angry because they sacked his favourite manager who was doing really well. COYS!

Golden Lego Bench Monday

Looks like Princess Leia liked that golden bikini after all!
