Sometimes when I browse Amazon I run across some really interesting LEGO items that I don’t see anywhere else. For example I recently discovered a collection of high quality LEGO desk supplies. I will show you some of them here, as they would make great gift items for LEGO fans, or even for yourself. A good excuse to keep some LEGO even at your work-desk. These are all licensed by LEGO, and include real LEGO elements. 🙂

LEGO Stationery

LEGO STATIONERY – BUILDABLE RULER: I love this ruler! It is made of all LEGO elements, including some unique pieces. Take a look at those 4×20 green baseplates, and printed LEGO tiles! You can build either a 6 inch or 12 inch ruler from the pieces, and attach whatever you like to the plates in the middle. I can see this ruler being very useful not just as a regular desk supply, but as part of various LEGO machines and other contraptions. In the video-review below JANBRiCKS will show you the ruler in more detail, and if you would like to get one, you can find it here: LEGO RULER ON AMAZON

LEGO STATIONERY – COLORED GEL PENS: In the same collection there is also a set of nine gel pens that writes in nine colors: red, orange, yellow, light-green, green, light-blue, blue, brown, and black. The pens all have standard LEGO 1×4 plates incorporated at their end, so you can either attach the pens to a LEGO surface, or attach LEGO parts and minifigs to the pens. You can find it here: LEGO GEL PENS ON AMAZON

LEGO STATIONERY – COLORED MARKERS: This is a set of nine markers, in the same colors as the pens mentioned above: red, orange, yellow, light-green, green, light-blue, blue, brown, and black. The markers have thicker bodies than the pens, so here 2×4 plates are added. You fan find it here: LEGO COLORED MARKERS ON AMAZON

LEGO STATIONERY – PENCIL BOX: Naturally, there is also a LEGO pencil box in the collection. But instead of just being a boring ordinary pencil box, this one is also very cleverly designed. There is an 8×26 green baseplate inside the pencil holder that you can use to attach your pens and markers, or just build something on top. And there is also a 2×4 plate in the lid, for more attachments. You can find it here: LEGO PENCIL BOX ON AMAZON

LEGO STATIONERY – STORAGE BOX: There is a larger version of the pencil box, with a removable 18×26 green baseplate to store your LEGO stationeries, or whatever else you like. This one doesn’t have a LEGO plate incorporated in the lid, but the cover is made to look like a notebook with some LEGO designs. You can even use this as a small carry-case for LEGO elements. You can find it here: LEGO STORAGE BOX ON AMAZON

LEGO STATIONERY – JOURNAL: This journal got matching cover to the storage box mentioned above. It’s a standard journal, except that it includes a 6×26 stud plate on the outside for building. You can find it here: LEGO JOURNAL ON AMAZON

LEGO Stationery - LEGO Notebooks

Cool, aren’t they? The whole collection makes a really nice school supply set for kids, or desk supply set for adults. They are all high quality items to match the LEGO brand, and all the LEGO elements included are real LEGO plates and baseplates with the LEGO logo on all studs. The unusual size LEGO baseplates and the printed ruler pieces are particularly interesting because they are unique to this series.

LEGO Stationery - LEGO Pencils

There are some other items in the same collection, like pencils, pencil sharpeners, erasers and various other pen and marker sets. I won’t list them all, but you can find them here: LEGO STATIONERY COLLECTION ON AMAZON

I would say that even just one of these items would make a great gift, or if you like your stationery to match, you can get them all. What do you think? How do you like this LEGO stationery collection? Do you have any of them already? Or planning to get some? Feel free to share your own review in the comment section below! 😉

LEGO Creator Big Ben pictures & details

As part of the announcement of the new flagship LEGO store in London opening this year, LEGO also revealed the next LEGO Creator Expert set, the #10253 LEGO Creator Big Ben. Below you can find the description, pictures, designer-video and other details. 🙂

#10253 LEGO Creator Big Ben Box

Here is the official description of the LEGO Creator Big Ben: Build the world’s best-known clock tower! Get up close to Big Ben! The clock was first started on May 31st 1859, and Big Ben’s first chime rang from the 96-meter Elizabeth Tower on July 11th of the same year. This over 23” (60cm) high LEGO interpretation of the iconic structure is a tribute to its engineering and architecture. It features a detailed facade with statues, shields and windows, and a clock tower with 4 adjustable clock dials and a removable roof allowing access to the belfry, plus buildable exterior elements including a sidewalk, lawn and a tree depicting the building’s location. This model makes a great display piece for the home or office.

As you can see, this set is massive! Also, the price is really good with only 6 cents a piece, which is similar to the #10214 LEGO Creator Tower Bridge released in 2010. In fact these two sets are a perfect match for those who like to display iconic British landmarks, and both of them are also great sources of tan LEGO elements. Please note that the #10214 LEGO Creator Tower Bridge has been around for 6 years, and will likely get retired in the near future, especially now that Big Ben is out. So if you are planning to get both, you may want to purchase the Tower Bridge first.

What do you think? How do you like the LEGO Creator Big Ben? Is this a set you consider getting? Do you have the LEGO Creator Tower Bridge? How do you like that one? From the six large sets released so far this year (#10251 LEGO Creator Brick Bank, #70827 LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters, #76052 LEGO Batman Classic TV Series – Batcave, #75138 LEGO Star Wars Assault on Hoth, #21128 LEGO Minecraft The Village, and #10253 LEGO Creator Big Ben, which one do you like the most, and which one do you have?
