My LEGO®-related Rambles
I forgot to mention that at the Bricks & Beers event last night, there were several speed building competitions, and the team I was on each won a Minifig – here is mine.
He’s someone from the Lego Batman Movie, but I’m not quite sure who. He doesn’t look very happy, anyway!
Perhaps mixing him up with my other minifigs will cheer the dude up a bit?
I have visitors coming over to stay tomorrow so I had to go shopping. At the supermarket, I accidentally found some LEGO in my basket at the checkout, oops.
I mostly bought this Joker Balloon Escape (70090) set for the minifigs – giving me a manically grinning Joker and of course, Batman himself. I’m not sure I will keep the rest of the set made up, but I did put it together once just to see what it looked like. I forgot to take a photo before dismantling it again!
And talking of minifigs, I grabbed half a dozen Ninjago Movie CMFs, as I don’t have any of these yet.
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!
