I am happy to announce that the radio play version of The Ideal Order will become available soon as a podcast feed. The radio play was recorded with a group of talented actors here in Christchurch. The play consists of 12 episodes each of approximately 30 minutes. A new episode will be released every week on Friday. A new episode will be released every week on Friday. Here is a short summary of the book:
Dr. Rob Park’s life is out of order. His estranged wife is leaving him, the relationship to his daughters is strained and his academic career is at a dead end. He escapes into the cult of LEGO and the study of classification systems. By sorting his collection of LEGO bricks he reconnects to his daughters and he maintains his sobriety while maneuvering in the bizarre world of academia. Prof. Dr. Smith and his newly found Adult Fans Of LEGO help him to find a new structure for himself, his brick collection and his family.
The Podcast is also available on Apple iTunes, Google Music, Stitcher, TuneIn.

In my attempt to create the Unofficial LEGO Color Guide I had to acquire several rare watches. None of them had any good photos posted online, so that you could see the actual colors in detail. Notice that the colors are often the wrist band’s elements. So here you go, a short list of rare LEGO watches.
This watch was released in 2000 and it allows you to explore the night sky (northern and southern hemisphere). The watch also game with other wrist bands, but the pictures here show only the chain elements band. The transparent blue elements on the wrist band are in a unique color.
This watch came with a compass attached to the wrist band and the watch supports outdoor navigation. The Army Green color of the wrist band elements and the watch attachment are unique to this watch.
This watch is unique since the watch element itself can be attached to three different holders. In particular the carabiner mount is special. The Gun Metallic color of the arm wrist elements is unique to this watch.
This watch has no particular function, other than telling the time. The color of the metallic blue wrist elements are unique to this watch.
This watch was three different wrist bands and some rings to attach to the main watch elements. The neon yellow of the watch ring and the wrist elements are a unique color.
The LEGO company released the record breaking number of 859 Minifigures in the year 2016. We are truly struggling with photographing this incredible number of figures. The main problem is to get access. The LEGO company initially agreed to give me access, but pulled back their support.
I need your help to continue the Minifigure Catalog project! Are any of you willing to allow me to photograph your collection? I could potentially visit you, or you could lend them to me for a week. I would be more than happy to pay for the shipping and I would also agree to making a deposit.
Without your help the catalog series will have to stop and no further books or updates to our App will become available. Both, Nic and I, are putting a lot of love and labor into this project, but the current rate at which the LEGO company produces new Minifigures, we are not able to financially justify the project.
Please, get in touch with me via email (info@minifigure.org) or personal message if you are able to help.
