One Christmas tration I've made my self maintain, is to build the ever growing collection of festive Lego sets, to decorate the bookshelves. In a week or so, I'll take them all apart, so they can be built next year.
Anyway, first up, is the oldest item in the collection, the Elves. 40205 Seasonal Elves Workshop is reasonably absorbing, but I put it, and all the other sets together, while watching Richard Osmans House of Games.
40498, Christmas Penguin came next. The odd thing about this set is the giant snowflake hidden in the base. You spend several minutes assembling it, and then it's hidden from sight. A bit wobbly this one, that penguin is heavy, and only attached to the base with a single stud.
Now we have a mixed bag of Father Christmases, including 40206 Christmas Set with Rotating Arms, at the back, and the weird looking 30478 Jolly Santa Claus Polybag Set. A Playmobil figure has crept into the scene too, because I played with both as a kid.
Finally, we have 40744 Christmas Ornament Selection, which I picked up in the Lego shop in Battersea Power Station a few months ago. These are really clever, not many pieces, but the results look fantastic.
Anyway, that's the first festive post this year. Look out for more to come. You have been warned...
