Minifigure Past and Present

For 50 years, things have dramatically changed. Here are some examples:

Before, there were board games...

And now, there are video games

Before, sounds came from the instrument...

now, they come from electronic keyboards. 

There were telephones and written letters to communicate to others. 

Now we have smart phones and email that only takes a second to deliver.

Back then, people watched from wide and blurry screens; and counted the amount of times the pendulum swayed. 

Now, we watch from high definition LCD screens, and look at the clock, and say "twelve o' one".

Now these things are lost and forgotten. 

And these items are beginning to fade away...

So preserve your memories for the future.

Minifigure Life

When we are not looking, here is what minifigures have been up to...

Piano and bass (originally planned to do a violin, but the pose just didn't look right)

We need music sheets. Can anyone suggest a piece to play?

Playing LEGO Star Wars video games.

Where did they get the software?

Camper Trailer

Inspired by the new LEGO City Car and Caravan set, I made my own that is similar to the set.

The trailer with the Creator Log Cabin boat on top. (It snaps in place)

Beneath the boat is air conditioning and heater. 

The roof is removable. 

The side door is hinged to allow access inside the trailer. 

A detailed interior reveals computer, TV, fridge, and coffee mug.

There is enough space to work in the chair

or turn the chair around to watch TV.
