LEGO Anniversary

I'm not a huge, mega hardcore LEGO fan or anything, but the franchise does interest and humour me. I've been wanting to buy my boyfriend the huge LEGO motorised (yes, it moves) AT-AT which is about £80, and the size of a cat - OK, I mainly wanted to buy it for myself but I was a poor student and asked my boyfriend if one day we could buy it and split the costs.

Anyway, on our Anniversary (my very first year-long relationship) I was presented with a huge box, and lo-and-behold, he bought me the damn AT-AT as my Anniversary gift..

If you're not familiar with building LEGO sets, you would normally find one instruction booklet/step-by-step guide showing you how to build your new model - well, this box had three booklets, and about a gazillion bags of LEGO housing a gazillion billion pieces (kay, 1137 pieces to be exact).

My gorgeous boyfriend on the left, knowing that he will be up all night trying to finish building this.

Sooooo yeah, there was a lot, and it took us awhile, I think it took us about two days? We got up to here on the first day before I finally managed to drag boyfriend to bed (Yeah.. he actually did most of it. I got pouty in the first stages because I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING.)

Impressive, huh? Then I was too lazy to take photos of the final finished model with my camera, so instead here it shall be in shitty mobile phone quality.

Beautiful isn't it? It's our baby. I wanted to name it Molly.. or something. It's very unfortunate I did not take a video of it walking either, so I shall steal a youtube video for you to see.
