BACK ON TRACK

It was always our intention to post daily on this blog and pursue our interst in Lego® and compatible bricks. We however did not want this to simply become a copy paste and reference to other posts on the web which has proved difficult for numerous reasons. Firstly it has proved a challange to find quality compatible bricks locally and finding original sets we want at prices we can afford.

However sitting down to build again after over a months abscence, the excitement & amazement was back - surprising how it takes just one model.

Some of the Toys R Us stores here in Natal are now stocking compatible bricks at a reasonable price, unfortunately the majority seems to be Ban Bao which has clear compatibility problems due to height difference of the studs.

We have though managed to find a couple of Enlighten sets amongst the mix. There are some good compatible brick options out there and it is unfortunate that not the best option is making its way into our local market.
