No Fatale this week . . . have some Legos instead!

So, whilst I hunt for my next Fatale I decided to take some time off and build something. Recently, a most wonderful shop store was oppened in my home town - a Lego store that is. I have been checking out all that this magical place has to offer, but I had not quite gotten up the nerve to buy anything. And then I saw it. It has a Harley Quinn figure in her harlequin outfit? I'm all over that! And so we bought The Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape.

When I was little I had two buckets full of Legos - a boy themed bucket and a girl themed bucket. Then I went to daycare and they had them, too, but I recall that someone had donated a bunch of Legos and then knock-offs. The bigger kids knew the difference, but the younger ones did not so the Legos and the knock-offs would get smashed together and never come a part again, hehe.

Now that I'm a bigger kid, I see all these amazing Lego Sets and they are so different. The Lego ladies have ANATOMY on them (yeah, that's right). You can build world monuments. They even have a VW Bug. I went to ECCC and someone had built a scaled down model of the Borg Hive.

They have Lego for just about anything and what they don't have you can ask them to make. No seriously. Check this out:

This site allows people to upload ideas for future Lego kits and then allows the public to vote. If the idea gets a certain number of votes then it will actually be reviewed Lego and then, maybe, become a kit. There is a Zelda kit and a Portal kit coming out soon - I will fight you for them! Or maybe just whine a little bit . . .

In any case, have some photos of the building process. Good night everybody!




What is happening here? Riddler and Mini-Riddler?



Harley Quinn's hat, no, head dress. It came in it's own little package!
