It's been a fun week of LEGO-centric posts around here (and if you've enjoyed them, there's plenty more LEGO stuff over at my actual LEGO blog)! In an effort to conclude LEGO week with a bang, you can look forward to a flurry of posts today - all of which will highlight parts of a recent trade I completed with Jeff over in England!
I sent Jeff a whole lotta inserts, base cards, and short prints that he needed for his various sets. In return, Jeff sent me a bunch of LEGO figures (plus some baseball cards). It was a great trade - and it's a great way to conclude LEGO week here at Nachos Grande. Since Jeff sent me plenty of LEGO figures and plenty of cards (and since this is a baseball card blog first and foremost), I've decided to pair each figure with a baseball card (or multiple cards depending on the post). There will be a few throughout the day simply to keep your Friday reading active!
We begin with one of the LEGO figures that I was looking forward to from Series 9 (a series that seemed to have come and gone so quickly that I missed most of it)!
For whatever reason, I thought the Judge looked too cool to not get - and now I'm pleased to say that I finally own my own version!
The Judge comes complete with a red robe, a big white wig, and, of course, his trusty gavel to restore order in the courtroom. I like the fact that LEGO gave the judge glasses as well, it's a unique head print (at least to me).
What better card to pair with the Judge than Logan Ondrusek (the final Topps Series 1 base Red that I needed)?
Ok, ok, there's actually no real ties that I can make between the two. However, if we stretch things a bit I could say that Logan knows Mike Leake (another Reds' pitcher) and Leake got busted for stealing t-shirts last year (seriously).
Yep, we end on that note... There will be more LEGO figures throughout the day, though no other figures from Series 9 (so if you have any available, here's what I still need).
