I bought this from my local supermarket recently...I'm a stickler for getting my Christmas shopping done bit by bit. I bought my nephew the annual from last year and he really enjoyed it. It was the perfect stocking filler to keep him amused Christmas morning, and he loves the idea of collecting all of the annuals...just like I did when I was little (with the Beano!) It has some activities and stories and I think he will be just as happy with it this year. My copy cost a little less from the supermarket, so I don't mind spending £3-4 for a little bit of Lego fun!
