Due to an unforeseen snow day, five LEGO superstars came together on our as-yet-to-be-cleaned-post-breakfast dining room table. Their mission? Seek out and destroy all “cute” toys.

Okay, so I know I declared the LEGO people set a Christmas toy fail just yesterday, but you’ve gotta believe me that I have no idea how many of the above figures came from that particular set. I’m pretty sure at least two of the aliens are from a different set – this one in fact…
This set is, by the way, just as awesome as it looks. The picture nowhere near does it justice. I’ve linked to it on Amazon.com and it’s only $20.00 (I think we paid around $30 at Toys R Us). Ana chose this set herself with her Christmas money and just last week put it together. Well, in all honesty, my husband put the ship together. Good thing he’s a woodworker because you definitely need a firm grasp on spacial reasoning for this one (which I do not have). So, we do love LEGO, see? LEGO, don’t be mad at me for declaring that one toy a Christmas fail…it’s just that the other sets sort of outshone it. I mean, look at this one! It comes with tiny lego handcuffs for the bad guy alien space villain! Designing LEGO sets has to be like the best job ever!
