Lego house: the final saga

Posted by Paul Regan at 11:04 am on Tuesday September 22, 2009

The house might be coming down, but there’s one last little request James has for us before the Lego toy story is over – the cat has gone missing.

After filming the last scenes at the weekend, security allowed a few members of the public to have a nose around the house and Fusker – so named because he’s a Lego recreation of James’ real cat – has disappeared.

James told us last night that Fusker was a unique addition to the house because he was built by a fan, rather than one of the team of Lego enthusiasts enlisted to work on the project.

So… we’re starting a Lego cat amnesty. James thinks it’s important Fusker’s creator has a chance to get her celebrity toy back.

If you know where he is and can help get him returned to the Top Gear office, there will be no questions asked. We might even view it as slightly heroic. But only slightly.

The address is:
James May, I’ve Found Your Cat
Top Gear
Energy Centre
201 Wood Lane,
London W12 7TN.

Come on, do the right thing… And join our Lego house Facebook group.

    Awww, poor Fukser. I hope it’s gets returned, but if not… I believe Lego cats are quite easy to clone. ;-)

    On a practical note – I was there on Sunday afternoon and Fusker was by the door curled up on a little stool, I took a picture of him.

    They weren’t letting anyone in then, so it was after that happened. It’s really sad that someone would nick him, what a sad reflection on our country.

    Well when we got there this morning to help with the teardown, all the furniture was gone. I believe it was taken by either Plum Pictures or Christina the interior designer. I’d assume one of them has it. Maybe it’s hiding inside a box.

The most impossible type of evidence to find. Iwill keep looking and helping.
