July Mini Model Build [40245]

The LEGO Store's Monthly Mini Model Build for July is a super cute octopus!

This is my first time receiving a Monthly Mini Model Build because it's technically for children aged 6 to 14 only. Luckily last Thursday night, I visited my local LEGO Store near closing time, and there were still a few bags left! The event happened in UK LEGO Stores earlier that day from 1600 to 1800.

I had a lot of fun building the adorable sea creature! The final build was simply but beautifully designed, and not to mention it has movable tentacles! And I love the color scheme of different shades of blue with lime green (my favorite LEGO color) highlights! This mini build will definitely stay in my workstation for quite a while.

Dance, Dance, Dance, Dance, Dance, Dance, Dance, Dance

The next free Monthly Mini Model Build is on 3 August, still from 1600 to 1800. The theme is still underwater, but this time it will be a multicolored tropical fish with movable fins and tail. For more details, contact your local LEGO Stores or check out their online Store News.
