We've just taken delivery of this Lego set from Andrew Arnold, fellow 26 member and Communications Manager at Lego.
It's part of a swap deal involving a set of Pentone mugs, which are now making their way over to Andrew in Denmark. We suspect we got the better side of the deal.
The swap came about through the Creative Review Tweetup last week, at which Lego was the main sponsor. The event gets a good write-up over here.
Not that I walked away without any LEGO myself, but that doesn't stop me being jealous. Hope you've recovered from the journeys, Nick.

Thanks Neil, it was a great night, albeit one that ended with an epically delayed journey that eventually saw me arriving home at 2am, in the car of a nice man who had just been to a Friends of Radio 3 meeting.
Thanks also for reminding me that I should engage the caps lock before writing LEGO in future.

Aw shucks. Well, I don't know about the better part of the deal - I'm looking forward to seeing the Pentone mugs grace the office.
Now the next challenge is giving the bricks to the kids... as a LEGO dad before I became an employee, I know the difficulties.
Speaking of LEGO dads, if you're looking for inspiration there's always http://parents.lego.com - my own little pet project.
Glad to see the caps lock advice Neil. It warms the cockles of my corporate heart!
(BTW I'm only communications manager for a bit of LEGO, not all of it!)

I'd like some Pentone mugs. What else do you need?

What we could really do with is £25 plus p&p. But always open to offers.
How much is your desk worth?
