Lego news! Friends set 41019 has a Turtle!

Here's a cool little Lego set you can get for around $6 - Turtle's Little Oasis. It's part of the Lego Friends range, that girly (but not too girly) Lego that has been so successful. Here's what you can build with the set as it comes ...

Oooh, that's a CUTE LITTLE TURTLE! You can see why a serious grown up like me had to buy it.














But if you want to have a bit more fun, it's only natural to try an alternate build. That is, something quite different you can make out of the same pieces.

Well, I did add just one piece ... a minifig of Jack Sparrow from a Pirates of the Caribbean set.

Here he is escaping from the desert island by strapping two sea turtles together. Or at least, one turtle and a raft.

Do you know this set gives you FIVE gold telescopes!













And once you've built Jack Sparrow escaping from the island, you still have enough bits left to make the Girl Bug.
