Many of the LEGO® Creator 3-in-1 Sets from the January release are display worthy. Which is good, because they do not necessarily have any studs for a brick separator to engage with. The LEGO Group sent this set along for review, along with others in the wave.

I love this globe print that is part of Creator 3-in-1 31378 Space Exploration Telescope. The set comes with a lightbrick, allowing you to project the images of planets and stars onto a wall in a dark room. I think these models collectively have the best play features of the January Wave of Creator sets. And it’s one of 2 sets in that wave that don’t feature animals.

A terrific gift from @tashologue while I was visiting Denmark. I first received playmobil figures for Christmas in 1974. Most of them are still intact, albeit with faded chrome.

I found this LEGO Explore/ DUPLO whistle from 2002 while I was in Denmark recently. It only appeared in 2 sets. It has a couple of holes, which lets you change the pitch. Let’s see if we can play a little tune.

After arriving in Jutland, I made my way to the Flea Market.

It was a grey day as I waited for the train out of Copenhagen. The wind blew, and I was grateful for my coat as it whistled down the platform.
