DC Super Heroes - Catwoman Catcycle City Chase 6858

The last of the bargain sets I picked up after Christmas and my first DC Super Heroes set.  Plus you get Batman with a rocket pack!!

Here's the street scene.  You get what looks like it's suppose to be a mailbox, a news paper stand with two copies of the Lego Times and a bunch of boxes to knock around.
Here's a look from the backside.
Nice detail on the Lego Times' you can almost read the article.
The traffic light is on a hook that can be knocked off with a batterang.
Catwoman comes with her Catcycle.  She has her whip and a very large diamond.





There are quite a few different Batman's out there.  This one has the stiff bat wings and the bat in a yellow oval.  He also comes with two Batterangs.

Heres a better look at the jet pack.


Batman also has two faces.  The white head band is what shows through when he has his cowl on.



Here's a better look at Catwoman.



She also comes with two faces to choose from.  One with her goggles on.
And one without.

Over all a great little set.  And getting it for under $10 bucks was a definite deal.

Monster Fighters - The Mummy - 9462

Another one of the after Christmas deals I found around town.  This set was marked down over 30% and was another of the cheaper one's I had had my eye on for a while so being marked down made it an easy pick-up.

In this set you get the Mummy and Ann Lee minifigures and a skeleton horse as well.  Plus the Mummy's chariot and Ann Lee's helicopter.

I'm sure there's some story to go with all the Moonstones, but I didn't bother to find out.


The Mummy is loaded for bear too! Not only does he have his sword, which attaches to the back of the chariot, but he also has two spears that snap on the the side of the bridal.

Ann Lee comes with two extra cross bow arrows. One goes in her hair, but the other one really didn't have a place so I just stuck it to the side of the copter in an unused hole.

No tail rotor.


Now some mini close ups.

I love all the detail on the Mummy's body.  Very nice.
That continues on the back of the body as well.


The cross bow arrow storage in the hair is pretty neat. Makes her look extra tough especially with the scar.
Ann also has another face to choose from.
Frownie face.

Lego Space Moon Buggy - 3365


I couldn't resist heading out to Wal-Mart and Target after Christmas to check and see if there were any good deals on Legos.  And while there wasn't much I did manage to find a few good deals.

I hadn't picked up any of these small box sets yet and having this one marked down to under $4 I had to pick it up.

It's a fairly simple set and it clearly says on the packaging that it is.  But with the cool helmet backpack it's almost like getting two mini's in one.

Not quite sure whythe moon buggy needs a trenching tool for on the moon, maybe to lay some cable or something.

So Buzz here comes all suited up in his space suit and you have to option to keep him in training mode with his cool blue cap or suit him up for space.


This is the first space themed mini and set I've gotten, but I'm going to assume that there are all sorts of add on's to the backpack.  It has a slot on tome and space on the sides to add things.  Maybe like a rocket launcher or laser cannon.

The only bad thing about the helmet is that the visor is fixed so you can bring it up to see the mini's face.

Here's what he looks like with the visor off.

Not a bad little set.  And the price was right.

Minifigure spotlight --- Computer Programmer

I'll be honest if I wasn't a completist when it comes to these minifigure series this is probably one I wouldn't have gone after, but not having one and pulling it from a blind pack is always fun.

At first I called this guy computer nerd, but he is officially know as the Computer Programmer. Lumberg anyone?

The nerd, ahem, I mean programmer comes with a coffee cup, with the C:\ prompt and a Lego brand computer, which is much more dependable than a Dell.

Sorry that's a little blurry.


Of course 
The laptop is actually pretty cool, you can actually see ports on the back.
And when you open it up it has a keyboard and screen.  It's the little things that can take what would probably be a pretty boring character from the City line and well make him less boring I suppose.
