Go, Miniman, Go!

If you know me at all, you know that I have an incredible love for all things Lego. I have had Lego in my life since I was 3 starting with brick sized building blocks. (They came in a whopping 3 colors back then, but they still are holding strong as my kids play with them to this day.) In the late 70's, they introduced the Lego mini figure, and they have been a staple for Lego sets ever since. Most recently, they have added adaptations of the mini figure featuring Star Wars (I'm in heaven), Indiana Jones, and even Batman (I'm in a higher heaven).

Turns out that it is the 30th anniversary of the mini figure, and to celebrate, Lego has launched the Go, Miniman, Go website. I loved the video included (Carla - you will especially like the hockey segment):


They are even having some contests for original videos featuring the minimen and prizes include vintage lego sets. I wish I could get my hands on some full sets of the original "Space Lego's" from back in the day. No birthday or Christmas was complete with out adding to my collection.
