Giant Glossy Lego® Storage Blocks In Nine Fun Colors.

A long time ago I introduced you to Lego-like furniture in the form of Luna Blocks. Now, fun new glossy plastic storage bins, officially licensed by Lego® and made exclusively for STORE, are available in 9 fun colors. Included in the collection is a large LEGO man head (also called a Minifig head).





The sad news is that they're so big, STORE can currently can only ship the LEGO storage boxes to UK, Ireland, BFPO and Benelux countries. They say it's simply too expensive to ship to North America, Australia etc., but have claimed they're working on it!



The large bins have 8 knobs, the small bins have 4. The LEGO MAN (minifig) storage head is available in one size only.

Minjjoo's Small Door For A Big World.

The minjjoo children’s door is an interior door with an integrated small door. All three parts of the door – door leaf with built-in small door, doorframe and handle set (one for the small, one for the big door) – are available separately.



The minjjoo children’s door makes the little ones feel big. Via the small door children have access to their own room and their personal world…




This door can even be be painted upon. They have a waterproof white chalkboard-coating that can be drawn on or written on with chalks or water soluble markers which can easily be wiped off again with a wet cloth.



Suited for kids older than one and a half years, it's available in two sizes, each in versions opening either to the right or to the left.



You can order either only the door leaf or the leaf including frame and handles.

The door can simply be attached to an existing doorframe. You can also order a corresponding doorframe along with the door.

For installation of the door frame additional materials are required, which they do not provide. If in doubt, you should enquire with a professional.
