Friday night done right.

I love Star Trek and TNG is my favourite series. I also love Lego.

I was very excited to see there was an Enterprise NCC-1701-D Lego set being released and thought it might be my Christmas present to myself.

It was released in Australia today and it’s $600 AUD! 😭🖖🏻

A rectangular box with a clear plastic window showing three silver cybermen and a cybermat inside it. The box has the BBC Doctor Who logo in the top left corner. Along the bottom is “The Fourth Doctor” and “Revenge of the Cybermen (1975) Collector Figure Set”. The bottom right corner has a gold “Limited Edition” and on the right hand side it indicates 5.5”/14cm scale.

Team Christmas lunch then the Hijinx hotel to play mini golf and do the escape rooms.

Our team names were “Whatever” and “I don’t mind”, which is not reflective of the fun afternoon we had but typical of a team full of introverts.
