At our Play Centre in Wokingham we have a special play area dedicated to DUPLO bricks. This is a great space for younger children that enjoy the play experience that DUPLO sets offer. We are always on the look out for new sets to add to our collection for our Mini Master Builders to play with. Today we picked up the Buzz Lightyear's Planetary Mission DUPLO Set 10962. At the time of purchasing there was a good deal on Amazon for the set - check out the latest price here. The LEGO Duplo 10962 Buzz Lightyear's Planetary Mission set is designed for children aged 2 years and up.

The RRP of the set is £29.99 but we managed to pick it up a bit cheaper from Amazon. Check out the latest price here. When unboxing this LEGO City set you are greeted with three bags of building joy. Bag one dives straight in with the Minifigures and in my opinion the best element of the set, the crystallised boulder. I have seen many of a LEGO boulder but this one is special with its blue crystal fragments inside and speckled glimpses of the crystal from the outside too. This will be a much desired piece at Brickies especially as the blue translucent crystals are always a favourite, so combined with a boulder it will likely cause quite a reaction! I personally think the LEGO Minifigures that come with this Lunar Roving Vehicle set are great. My favourite element is the torso of what appears to be the driver of the Lunar Vehicle. [...]
