...so shall I get the Pharaoh and Vampire collectible minifigs!

A little less than a year ago I made friends with a family in WAMALUG. A mom, dad, and their 11-year-old son, Ben. It was nice to be able to talk with them about being a college AFOL and enjoy seeing their son stick with LEGO as he approaches middle-school and consequently the hurdle of the "Dark Ages." They've done nice things for me, and I enjoy seeing them at WAMALUG (and BrickFair) when I go home.

Today in the mail there was a small envelope...one containing the Vampire and Pharaoh minifigs: the ones I wanted! (The mom knew this, hehe.) It was so nice to get a LEGO care package unexpectedly (well, she asked for my school address, so I knew something was coming. But up to that point it was a surprise!)

The Vampire is really cool for the hair, cloak, face, and all around vampireness. The Pharaoh was my first choice, however, since I missed out on the Adventurer's sets, and the Egypt stuff looked really cool. The headpiece is neat, but the scepter is especially awesome. Maybe it is the gold.... The torso and legs also have their uses. (Torso: Space suit for a fleshie.)
