LEGO Star Wars watch kit

LEGO Star Wars watch kit

I love shopping at Target, and I go there at least once a week for groceries. The grocery shopping is not really enjoyable, but what makes the outing enjoyable is browsing the other departments. My favorites are the dollar bins, seasonal decorations, and TOYS!

When the kids are with me, we always cruise through the LEGO aisle. I love those cute little bricks, because they are versatile, timeless, durable, and don’t require batteries. They run on brainpower and imagination! Brilliant! Okay, there is a down side to LEGO, and you know what I mean if you’ve ever stepped on one with bare feet in the dark.

But check out this awesome find! It’s a LEGO watch kit, with a working timepiece, and it’s STAR WARS!! There were several designs to choose from, including this Darth Vader one. The box includes the watch itself, links to make a custom-sized wrist band, an action figure (Darth and Luke even have light sabers), and a few extra pieces for good measure.

I loved them so much, I got one of each design! One for me, and one for each of the kids. I think I’ll be going back for more, to keep on hand for gift occasions and such. The parts are interchangeable (duh, it’s LEGO!) so the kids have enjoyed swapping links to make their watches unique and colorful. I forgot to get the price in the photo, but I think each kit was about $5.99. What a deal! :-)

What a fantastic gift! My kids are now alas into Wizard 101…I’m in hopes that some year, they’ll embrace Star Wars as the ultimate mythology that it is.

I love these! Our local mall has a Lego store and we just saw these for the first time this weekend. I was thinking it would make a great Christmas gift!

That looks like a blast. I’m shocked to hear it’s only $6. Every time I see Legos lately they’re $30. My son’s a little young for them right now, but I loved playing with Legos when I was a kid and I hope he does too.

That is so cool. I want one for me. I still mourn that day my son out grew Legos.
