70902

It’s been years since I got any LEGO for Christmas, but this is the first Festive season since I emerged from my Dark Ages – and I was very lucky with what Santa brought me this year. It’s cheered me up since I’m feeling rather ill at the moment. I will enjoy building them and it should take my mind of my lurgy.

Pictured are three Architecture sets – New York Skyline (21028), US Capitol Building (21030) and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (21035). Plus Simple & Powered Machines (9686) and another copy of the Catwoman Catcycle Chase (70902), which came as a freebie from Amazon I believe. The machines set will hopefully be useful for building some GBC modules, along with all the Technic bits I have in the Bucket Wheel Excavator. The show I will be exhibiting at is in mid-January, so I need to pull my finger out and build something for it!

I got home late last night from the London AFOLs Christmas Party, so I had a proper look at my haul this morning. My Secret Santa gift was set 70902 Catwoman Catcycle Chase. I also came away with a City Police Microlight Polybag (30018) from the Pass The Parcel, a little bag of bits and 3 light bricks from the AFOLs and some GBC balls from Alex so I can have a go at making a Great Ball Contraption module for a show in the New Year.

It didn’t take long for Catwoman to start cracking the whip to get her set built!

But first I tackled the Microlight, which was very quickly put together.

Once I had finished building the Catcyle Chase, I added the microlight to complete this little vignette – Catwoman is trying to get away with some precious jewels, but the Policeman, Batgirl and Robin are hard on her heels.

I probably won’t keep the set made up for long, but I do like the minifigures – especially the purple ones!
