I've finally opened the Apollo Saturn V box this afternoon. I have to say that the design of the box is extraordinary and the box is not the only thing that is cool about this set. :-)
LEGO Ideas sets are just somehow special when we talk about packaging.

Apollo Saturn V - Beautiful building manual and packaging !

There are 12 packages, from small to bigger ones. White, black, grey and red are colours that dominate the set.

When I unbox new LEGO sets, I always look forward the most to the building manual. Especially in case of LEGO Ideas theme.
The Apollo Saturn V 182-page manual has a very strong cover picture.

And also the last picture. :-) My answer is definitely "YES".

I appreciate first pages of the booklet that are devoted to the introduction into the Apollo Space Program and the Saturn V space rocket itself.

I will definitely read everything before I start the build. Photos from the past times make me feel even more tempted to start building and learn more about this beautiful rocket.
On first pages of the booklet, you will also learn about the authors of the project and about challenges that they had to face while designing the set.

There is no reason to wait ! Since I haven't build any LEGO for some time, this afternoon I will start putting together the Saturn V and I am sure that I will have a very good time with this cool set.

I hope that my Saturn V will look at least as cool as the one on the cover of the box. :-)

Can't wait to share it then with you on my blog.

What do you think about this set ?

I will be very happy if you let me know in comments below.

Jump, Jump, Jump, ... :-) You think that you've already seen the frog somewhere ? This beautiful green creature stars in the new LEGO Carousel 10257 and definitely deserves our attention.
Usually being a frog do not make you a glory but in this case she outshone other five animals - an elephant, tiger, swan and a flamingo ! :-)
She's made out of 63 pieces, mostly a combination of light and dark green.

The FROG - Star of the new Carousel !

She has a movable mouth with a red tongue always prepared to provide her with a good lunch.

Her legs are incredible ! I'm sure that she might compete with real frogs in jumping.

Thanks to a few LEGO Technic pieces, her legs very well imitate real frog's legs.

There's nothing better than just to find a stone and

Isn't the frog cute ?!? :-) Moreover, it's a great build considering the number of pieces.

Is the frog also your star out of the five animals in the new Carousel ?

I will be very happy if you let me know in comments bellow.

Carousel 10257 is the most expensive set released during second quarter of 2017 but the price is worth the hours of fun. I have finally decided to open the 10257 LEGO Carousel box and start building it on Friday evening. It's Sunday night and I am half way finishing this magical build and I am impressed ! I have started smoothly with the ticket booth and then jumped straight on the technical part of the boarding platform of the carousel. I am still waiting for the most interesting part of the build, for me it will be the package number 4 which contains pieces for all the cute animals from fairytales which replaced the traditional horses used in the Grand Carousel 10196. :-)
Here are a few pictures from my joyful weekend with LEGO Carousel.

Set 10257 Carousel - build in progress :-)

I admire how all the pieces which makes the carousel rotate smoothly fit perfectly together. Can't wait to proceed with building again tomorrow. :-)

Are you a fan of amusement park attractions such as Carousel that LEGO has released recently ?

I will be very happy if you let me know in comments below.

Penguin and Batman are as Tom and Jerry, one has to be on lookout to watch the other's mischief. :-) There is a rivalry between these two characters and they both take pleasure in provoking each other. Whenever they meet in the Arkham City, it doesn't end up well for one of them.
Typically not for the Penguin. :-) ... mainly because of Batman's cleverness, luck and sense of humour which are his ultimate weapons agains Penguin. Let's look what happened to the Penguin today when he met Batman in the park.
