I'm a little bummed that the back of the box shows which days has what is inside.  It

FriendsBricks November Building Challenge

FriendsBricks November Building Challenge by FriendsBricks
 Car, boat, helicopter ... maybe a jetpack is all you need! Show us how you like to go from 
Point A to Point B the Friendly way.

Build your own Heartlake City vehicle -- perhaps a technical marvel that can go from city streets to Clear Spring Mountain terrain, or a stylish automobile to cruise by the Cafe & around the Lake. How it's powered is up to you: petrol, solar, wind, steam, or maybe human. Let your imagination 
take you (and possibly passengers) for a ride!

Post entry MOCs here and/or here.

Keep your motors running until November 30th.

A LEGO Friends Promo Necklace in Hungary

Susan (aka Lego My Mamma) told me today about an interesting LEGO Friends necklace she had come across via a Hungarian tweet on Twitter (twitter.com/WLWYB/status/384577713337425920).

It's a LEGO Friends cat necklace that neither of us knew about, so it made me very curious. I started to look for some information on this item, which turned out to be not so easy when you don't speak Hungarian! But after figuring out "nyaklánc" means "necklace", I found a few other Hungarian online stores that offer this promo item: when you buy 2000 Hungarian Forint worth of LEGO Friends products, you'll get this necklace for free! According to one of the ads I found (http://www.edigital.hu/friends), the promotion started on August 12th and is ending today.





I also found this item on a Hungarian auction site. The necklace comes in an official LEGO plastic bag, but it only says "Ages 6+" and "Children's Jewelry" and there's no item number written on it.


I hope some of you in Hungary have had a chance to get one! Let's hope this cute necklace will also be available in other countries soon.
