Competition: Polybag Giveaway
Woolworths stores are currently stocking a range of polybags but they seem to be a bit hard to track down.
To help out a little I didn’t just get myself two polybags from my local store – I got 4 so that I could share the polybag fun with you all. There are two polybags on offer – one 30400 Gymnastics Bar and one 30426 Stealthy Swamp Airboat set.
The first name drawn will get first pick, and the second name drawn will receive the other set.
How do you enter? Rather than just entering your name, I’ve decided for this competition you’ll have to do a little work. I have reviewed both of the polybags on offer. Read each review and then answer two questions to go in the draw.

Review: 30400 Gymnastics Bar
I make no secret of the fact that I am a big LEGO Friends fan. The sets are almost always well designed and I actually don’t have a problem with the Minidolls.
When my local Woolworths finally got in the polybag range they are now offering this was the first set I grabbed.
30400 Gymnastics Bar
This set contains a relatively small part count of just 26 elements, as well as a single minidoll.
The included minidoll is Naomi – who is not one of the main LEGO Friends characters. It’s nice to expand my Heartlake City citizen collection, but some buyers may be disappointed that it doesn’t include a more well-known character. Despite this the minidoll is great. Naomi features blue eyes, a freckled face and dark brown hair. She is presented here wearing a great green spotted top and purple shorts. Overall it’s a really nice minidoll.
Review: 30426 Stealthy Swamp Airboat
I am not the biggest Ninjago fan but while looking at the available polybags at my local Woolworths, this set caught my eye.
30426 Stealthy Swamp Airboat
This 2017 polybag set contains 40 parts and a single minifigure.
The set includes a Cole minifigure, as he appears in the 2017 lineup. His torso is dark bluish grey with extensive black and brown printing on the front and rear. The print is quite detailed and features a robe and rope pattern. This pattern continues on to the legs which have front printing. The arms provide a nice contrast in black.

I do love a mysterious sale and this offer from Myer is a bit lacking in detail. What I do know is that they are currently offering 25% off their range of LEGO sets.

Happy Mother’s Day
A very happy Mother’s Day to all the LEGO loving mums out there. I hope your day was special and that you got spoilt.
RC Tracked Racer Challenge
Over the last two weeks I’ve had a chance to do something that I don’t often get to do – I took a completed set and actually played with it. The RC Tracked Racer is my first Technic set and it just happens to be a set with power functions, meaning that there is lots to do with it once the build is finished.
To see how the Tracked Racer performed as an RC toy I put it through a series of challenges. Note that these tests were performed on a closed circuit at busy office building and nearby park by a professional stunt driver a LEGO fan. In all seriousness though, some of these tests might damage your set, so I don’t particularly recommend them.
