Last vicar on the shelf

 I succumbed to temptation this morning at the Garden Centre. I was there with my youngest for breakfast.  I had no intention to buy today but…

He was the last Lemax vicar on the shelf, so I just had to buy him and his friends below-


They have been put away until much nearer Christmas when they will feature in some snow fights as targets, to be avoided hitting at all costs and in some seasonal Albion blog posts and games.

  2. They look really - cool - what are they actually intended for, being sold in a garden centre....I am a bit confused!

  3. “Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat ...” Glad to see your garden centre haul of targets, sorry snowy NPCs.

    “He was the last Lemax vicar on the shelf” is definitely an opening line, chorus or title - to be written - one maybe for Howard Whitehouse?

    1. Perhaps a lost seventies BBC sitcom?

  4. I always like seeing these figures but have never bought any. I always feel I should get Christmas figures for an invasion of the North Pole type game, but never really sourced 25/28mm figures for that - the Lemax figures are a bit big for my purposes. Look forward to seeing how you use them!

  5. I buy some of these every year to add decoration to the train which runs round the bottom of the Christmas tree.
