Its a strange talent!

Recently we've been getting a bit of a reputation!  You see we've developed a bit of a talent in The Hub, for being able to feel through the blind bags of collectable figures and know, or rather be 99.9% sure of whats inside.
LEGO Minifigures Series 6
In particular this strange talent lends itself very well to the current series 6 of LEGO minifigures.  We've lost count of the number of delighted kids who've left our shop overjoyed when we've felt through the bag and sought out Lady Liberty or the Robot to help them finish off their collection.  We're even getting feedback on The Hub Facebook page calling us "a true minifigure identifying genius"!  


Just in case we don't always get it right we have a little back-up plan.  We've set up a LEGO Minifigure Trading post using one of the fantastic LEGO Minfigure Display Cases we sell.  It has pride of place on our counter and kids can come in and trade the current series if they want to get a particular character. However, with our new found talent, it's not always needed!

Busman's Holiday

Today The Hub Team have utilised the half-term break to head down to Blackpool to see one of our main suppliers. The idea is to get ahead of things and get our Christmas order organised well in advance. We set off this morning full of promises of sea views and a challenge to go to the top of Blackpool Tower (not easy when one of the main members of them team suffers from vertigo). However, upon arrival we've been greeted with the thickest pea soup we've ever seen and a view from the room overlooking the car park.
Unperturbed we've had fun messing about in the hotel swimming pool and have plans for a seaside walk after dinner (even if we can't see the sea). Tomorrow we're all hoping it will brighten up and our two wee elves are looking forward to helping select Santa's top picks for 2012.




Whatever you are doing this half-term we hope it doesn't involve too much work & you get the chance to enjoy some of the holiday!
