LEGO Gifts With Purchase Xmas 2020

This is just a small look at the GWP items from the last round of holiday offerings.

First we got the awesome Charles Dickens set over Black Friday weekend. (Review coming)

Then we got these three. Two of which were in store only.

The Frozen set was a gift with a $50 Frozen purchase. BB-8 was free with any Star Wars purchase over $40 and the Skater set was with any purchase over $150.

Awesome giveaways from LEGO. Individual reviews will be coming.

For those looking for awesome winter figures the skaters have nice sweaters on.

Cat Butt

I picked up some parts in the BAM (build a minifigure) area of the store the other night when we were at the adult (yeah right) build. I was hoping for the Winter/Valentine’s parts I have been seeing on the web (penguin, pink elephant head piece, pink torso with red heart, heart shaped glasses head, ice king). But no such luck.

I did get some black scottie dogs, charcaol kitty, dude in suit with bowler hat, and a few left over elves.

Once I was home and playing with them I noticed on the back of the cat the odd placement of the sprue mark (the piece of plastic that is left attached when the parts are molded).

It is at the exact spot of a cat’s anus. Yup, LEGO has unknowingly given us cat butt.

The scottie dog did not have this ossue as the sprue was on his back.

I am probably going to have to paint one. Just because.

Newstand Adult Build at LEGO Store

Fun build at the LEGO store tonight. But I thought it was for adults (well 15+). There were a bunch of under 15 kids there. Doubt they would let me show up for the dragon build.

This is the first build I have done at the store that has included a minifigure.

This is going to look good with the bookstore.

Apparently our store did not get the right parts as we did not have 1×6 plates in sand blue, but were rather given those in dark bluish grey.

Please Note: Even a build done in the LEGO store still has cat hair on it! Boris goes every where with me. LOL.
