Apart from the old stuff (own collection and bulk purchases) sometimes I buy and build new(er) sets. This is Lego set 11505 Woodland Mushrooms / Bospaddestoelen. Very nice set, even with those big shovels I call "hands".

Bought some more bulk boxes of Lego, and collected missing pieces from Bricklink sellers. Has been slow going, and not much takers on Marketplace for what I had finished. Until I deleted them for not being available two weeks ago. Immediately on relisting got some buyers. 3 gone from 1st batch

Bought 2 boxes of Lego yesterday. One was 3 KG, the other 7,5 KG. Started sorting the smaller one today; already have 9 sets, 3 are 100% complete. Mostly newer stuff (2015 and later), so will not be keeping them. After cleanup, being made complete and photographed can make someone else happy.

I didn't do a cartoon about the NATO summit this year, but here are some I did last year. #NATO #Trump #Europe

A cartoon shows a NATO meeting disrupted by fanfare as Trump enters on a red carpet, greeted by a woman with a cooling fan and two waiters serving McDonald’s. His gold throne and flag are displayed near the American flag.

A cartoon shows Donald Trump at a pulpit with the NATO flag behind him. Audience members in pews offer money, while Mark Rutte collects donations in a basket. A sign reads Payeth and be saved.

Zelensky stands outside a castle wall. Inside the castle, well-dressed people gather at a NATO Summit under a NATO banner, drink champagne. A waiter is lowering a glass of champagne by a rope to Zelensky, who looks up angrily.

Yesterday's vintage Lego rebuild: 383-1 - Truck with Excavator [1973] This one was in the bulk I purchased a month back, but still matches nice in my own collection. Steering parts 100% operational, and the winch works as it should.

Lego set 383-1 - Truck with Excavator from 1973

A blue truck with a red brick with white LEGO print on top, which moves the front axle. A long 6 stud wide red trailer bed, with 2 ramps at the end.

Lego rebuild of the Day: 126-1 Steam Locomotive [1970] Again identified from the easy recognizable printed pieces. Had to substitute one Brick 1x6 to complete. And sadly, the conversion to a 4.5v version has been delayed due to broken pieces.

My rebuild Lego set 126-1 Steam Locomotive [1970]

This time some additional items, which could be used to convert the model to an 4.5v electric set.

On the left the battery box, this one in black. A white lever switch on top could be used to go forward or reverse.

In the middle the actual 4,5v engine, again in black. The upper and lower halves next to each other, and the complete innards missing.

On the right the modified 6x16 plate with a large cavity in the middle, in which the engine would be mounted. Sadly, this part is broken in the middle, and only 2 of the 3 pieces have been located.

Today's vintage Lego rebuild: 663-1 - Hovercraft [1977] I had one from my original collection, and there was a 2nd included in the stash I bought a few weeks ago. So why not do a parallel build? There are 3 wheels underneath to play. Sadly located only one set of stickers, not in a good state.

Two sets of Lego 663-1 - Hovercraft [1977], diagonally facing each other and the camera. One set of original but detached stickers in front, and the two matching instruction booklets in the back.

The hovercrafts are 6 studs wide, and 16 studs long. Black skirts, red body, and a white top. On the front half there is a cabin with windows, and a chimney. At the back there are two grey vertical stabilizer panels to make a spoiler.

Today's Lego set is not a vintage one: 71051-1 - Minifigs Series 28 Toy shop Intertoys still had this set available, and I was able to complete by visiting just 2 outlets in my area. Used the minifig scan app to prevent duplicates. Got some extra Lion's, for the Soccer WC sake. #LEGO #minifig

Included flyer for Lego set 71051-1 - Minifigs Series 28

A collection of 12 mini figures in a theme - this time people dressed up as animals. You buy fig in a blind box, trying to collect the whole series.

Staying in the airplane theme: Rebuild of Lego set 1611-2 - Martinair DC-9 [1978] A promotional set, and the only set to use these window bricks (3001oldpb05 / 3001apr0005), likely the reason they are not in Studio (yet). Stickers took a hit in 48 years, but glad the parts were still together.

Lego rebuild of the day: 6680-1 - Ambulance [1981] This one came by in one of the Vintage Lego Facebook groups, and I had seen the required panels while sorting my stash. Nice and simple build, but still mixed up the panels 😂😂 Missing some small pieces which will be added to the next parts order.

Slightly drak photo of my rebuild Lego set 6680-1 - Ambulance from 1981.

Shows a white boxy ambulance with a red band just above the bottom of the vehicle. A female medic with black hair and pony tails and a male medic wearing a red cap are carrying a stretcher from the back of the vehicle.

A mistake was made, and the side panels of the ambulance are the wrong way around. The panels which are partially transparent should be in the back, and the white ones with the red cross should be in the front.

One transparent blue 1x1 plate is missing from the lights on the roof and one headlight is missing as the required brick has not been located, yet

Another rebuild: Lego 333-2 - Delivery Truck [1967] Actually my from by birth year. Found the Brick 1x6 Blue with TRANSPORT print in the stash, then all the right pieces: yellow doors, blue doors, the steering parts incl plate and brick. Just missing light grey rubber tires - DOT no longer valid.

Rebuild of my Lego set 333-2 - Delivery Truck [1967]

Model has steering, with hand-of-god brick 1x2 in red with LEGO print on top, and a white brick 2x4 connected by an axle through the cab.

The blues in the carrier section do not match up, and the yellow bricks will need good cleaning as well.

Completed the initial sorting of my Lego stash. Memories come back when you see some of the pieces. Still need to clean all up, but was able to rebuild an initial set: 215 - Red Indians Feather headsets available, but due to age not used. [boys arms shorted after verify] Need to replace 1 paddle

Photo of the initial rebuild of Lego set 215 - Red Indians.

Old style figures with big heads, articulated arms, round hands, and no legs - just bricks.

2 bare-chested (red) males in a blue canoe with yellow and red accents, kneeled girl in white and standing mom in yellow, with a blue baby on her back.

The extreemely complex instructions for Lego set 215 - Red Indians.

The 23 parts of mon have only 3 instructions!
The girl (14 parts) is just one image, no instructions!

Then 21 parts for the canoe in 3 steps, and the final one has 2 boys of 8 parts each included - would take 4 pages in a modern booklet.

Collected my Lego from storage, to see what's still there. Started around 1972 and the sets have been growing when my little sister added some sets. Most will need a good cleaning, seen several broken parts, but surprised by the amount of instructions. Some original Lego-storage boxes included.

Plastic suitcase with a collection of 70's/80's Lego instructions, 2 train track switches, a railroad crossing and a stack of city road plates.

Cardboard box with 7 organizer cases, of which 4 orignal Lego.
Filled with about 15kg of legacy Lego.

Been waiting for this to become available for a normal price (not 50% up by scalpers): 76328-1 - Super Heroes - Batman Classic TV Series Available again at LEGO this week, after months. Just in time for its July 2026 retirement. Full price, but do not expect discounts this late in its life time.

And another one for a very good price: Lego 42141-2 - Mclaren F1 2022 [Technic] V2, as indicated by the thicker lines on the wheel covers. Has some minor sun damage - need to see if we need to / can fix that.

While browsing the local Marketplace found an ad I thought was too good to be true. Just walked 10 minutes to pick up a complete (box, book, and spares) built Lego 42156-1 - Peugeot 9X8 24H Le Mans Hybrid Hypercar [Technic] for ~1/4 of the original price. Original, no chinese knock-off.

It is a mostly dark grey model with some lime green accents, and glow-in-the-dark headlights (2 x 3 bars).

My collection of Lego Speed Champions F1 cars is growing nicely. Added the Williams today (not in pic). Next up the out-of-production 77247 KICK Sauber, and then back in time.

Collection of 12 Lego Formula 1 cars from their Speed Champions series.
2 x 4 regular cars from the 2025 set, currently missing are the Williams (just completed but not in the picture) and the KICK Sauber (still pending puchase of that out-ofproduction model).
Back row are the 2023 McLaren, the APXGP movie car, the 2026 Audi, and the F1 Academy.

While I have hopes with a new government in Hungary, let's not be too optimistic, yet. Orban will have defined contingencies, 2+ decades of corruption will not just magically disappear, and you cannot replace everyone you suspect or do not like all at once without causing operational impact.

A long time ago I used to play a lot with LEGO. My first sets are from the 1970's, including the "large" figures with articulated arms and rond hands. The announcement of the upcoming release of 11376 Ford Model T triggered me to get back into that. www.lego.com/nl-nl/produc...

Karikatur "Europa mit einer Stimme" aus dem Jahr 2026. Macron, Merz und Meloni bewegen sich voneinander weg. Alle halten sie jeweils einen Kompass und streben unterschiedliche Richtungen an. Meloni ruft "Avanti!", Macron "Allons-y!" und Merz "Auf geht's!".
