More LEGO wristwatches & alarm clocks!

by Thita (admin) on December 15, 2017

If you are looking for a unique gift for a LEGO fan for this holiday season, you might consider trying something interesting like a LEGO watch or alarm clock. A UK-based company called ClicTime has been making all the official LEGO watches and alarm clocks for over a decade, and they are available both at various retailers, Amazon, and the Online LEGO Shop. 🙂

We have talked in detail about the ClicTime watches and alarm clocks previously (see: LEGO Watches for Play & Timekeeping), and if you are not familiar with them, I do recommend reading the full review. In summary, they are high quality timepieces suitable for both children and adults. Some of the ClicTime watches and alarm clocks come with classic LEGO colors and minifig designs, while others are related to popular themes like LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Super Heroes, LEGO Ninjago, LEGO Friends, The LEGO Movie, The LEGO Batman Movie – and most recently – The LEGO Ninjago Movie. What I wanted to bring to your attention today are their most recent watches and clocks.

Under The LEGO Ninjago Movie line, there is a Lloyd alarm clock and watch, and a Kai alarm clock and watch. The Lloyd alarm clock glows with green backlight, while Kai’s light is red. The alarm clocks are fully articulated – just like regular LEGO minifigs – with movable legs, arms, wrists, and neck. And, of course, they work as fully functional alarm clocks. When standing, they are about 9” (23cm) tall. See clocks at the Online LEGO Shop.

The analog wristwatches come with multicolored, interchangeable links to create different strap designs that fit comfortably around the wrist. There is also a sculpted non-posable minifig link (smaller than a regular minifig) that can be incorporated with the other links. The watches feature quartz movement, a scratch-resistant lens, hour, minute and second hands, and they are tested to a static depth of 50m (which basically means they are splash resistant). See watches at the Online LEGO Shop.

Under the new LEGO Star Wars watches my favorite is the one with BB-8, and there is also one with Kylo Ren, Yoda, Darth Vader, and a Storm Trooper. As far as the clocks, Boba Fett is one of the most popular ones amongst the recent releases. And, while it is not a LEGO alarm clock, I should mention that there is a very cute BulbBotz BB-8 alarm clock also made by ClikTime (ClikTime also works with other companies besides LEGO) that you might consider. See listings here: LEGO WATCHES ON AMAZON and LEGO CLOCKS ON AMAZON

The ClicTime LEGO watches and alarm clocks are available at retail stores like Toys’R’Us, Target, Wal-Mart, JCPenney, and online stores like Amazon.com. And of course their products are also available at official LEGO stores, and the Online LEGO Shop.

What I appreciate most about the ClicTime watches and alarm clocks is the quality. They match LEGO’s colors and minifig designs perfectly. While the watches are more suitable for kids (or playful adults), the alarm clocks are perfect for pretty much any LEGO fan of any age. They are unique and interesting collectibles that look great on display, sturdy enough for play, and are functional clocks as well.

What do you think? How do you like the LEGO watches and clocks? Do you have any of them already? Which one do you like the most? And what other characters would you like to see in the future? Feel free to share your thoughts and own review in the comment section below! 😉

Fun with the LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store

The charming #21310 LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store is definitely one of the best and most memorable sets released in 2017. Originally designed by LEGO fan Robert Bontenbal, it quickly achieved 10k public votes, and was chosen by the LEGO Ideas team to become an official LEGO set. We have discussed the set several times already (see: LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store Interview & Review and links at the end of this post), however since it continues to inspire LEGO fans in surprising ways, I thought to share with you some interesting projects. 🙂

The LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store is not just an engaging LEGO set to build, but it also looks beautiful on display. In fact, the set is so picturesque, that it attracts not just LEGO fans, but photographers as well. Recently the toy photography website, StuckInPlastic.com, hosted a contest titled Where is Anton? The contest was all about taking the most creative photos of Anton, the friendly fisherman from the set. The contest drew hundreds of entries that were posted on various social-media platforms. StuckInPlastic.com is a little hard to navigate, but you can read about the contest here and see some of the best entries (along with the contest winners) here. The entries pictured below are by Stefan K., The APhOL, and fourbrickstall.

And of course, the LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store also inspires LEGO fans to modify the set to match their layouts. Take a look at this townhouse version of the Old Fishing Store to fit with the LEGO Modular Buildings by EuroBricks member koalayummies.

I also really like the houseboat and small shack built as alternate models for the LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store by mother and son team for this article at one of my favorite LEGO blogs, New Elementary.

LEGO fan EROL modified the LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store to fit with this peaceful beach scene that includes a gorgeous yacht and some other great details (more pictures here).

It is also worth noting that the LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store is not the only project by Robert Bontenbal that achieved 10k public votes on LEGO Ideas. He also has a Boat Repair Shop, a Boat House Diner, a Dive Shop, and a Lighthouse – all built in the same style as the Old Fishing Store (you can see all of them in detail here). Many people hope that LEGO will approve these projects and release them as a series.

The #21310 LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store provides a great building experience for young and old LEGO fans alike, it looks beautiful on display, it can be modified in many different ways, and it is also an excellent source of useful parts in great colors. If you don’t have it already, you can find it under the the LEGO Ideas section of the Online LEGO Shop.

What do you think? How do you like the LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store? Do you have it already? Or are you planning to get it? If you do have it, how do you display the set, and have you done any modifications? Feel free to share in the comment section below! 😉
