Back to Bob the Builder...

The new batch of printed bricks are a bit of an odd assortment.  Because of
the theme of these sets they are primarily work/construction related.
There's a pile of sand with a shovel stuck in it, a clipboard with a
checklist, a hydrant or spigot type brick, a "men at work" brick (though
actually the silhouette looks more like "man at rest") and a lunch brick
(box, thermos & fruit).

Oddball printed bricks are the Mice brick, the weird peacock/rooster/bird
brick, the soap suds and bubble brick and my favorite - the Exclamation
brick (exclamation point on a white triangle).

Wildest of all though (at least to me) are the new wood paneling and brick
facade bricks.  The wood bricks are brown (!) and have a pattern that looks
like nailed boards.  The bricks with the multi colored brick patterns
printed on them come in various 2-wide sizes: 2x4x1, 2x6x1, 2x2x1 and 2x4x2.
If I could get my hands on a pile of these bricks I wouldn't be above using
them for some mini-fig scale project - particularly the wood paneling
bricks.  They would make great shack walls.

Well, duh! I guess I could have thought a bit harder and scanned these new
bricks for the DB, huh? Greg, feel free to smack me upside the head at some
point...

We've opend "Bob, Lofty and the Mice", So I have the mice, the lunch, and
the yellow 2X2 brick with the bricks printed on to scan. We'll be opening up
"Scoop on the Road" for her birthday next week, so I'll have Bird and some
others (I forget which) to scan also. I'll do these all at once after we get
the second box open (I also may be able to find/get a few more sets before
the party, and I'll scan those as well).

Greetings: My first post-Brickfest LEGO related task is to do something I wanted to do last week after reading the postings in this forum related to the new Bob the Builder duplo sets. Originally, I had cruised right by the pages with these sets in (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jul-01, to lugnet.duplo)
