Who cares what they call it?

At a guess? Investors

If it doesn't have UCS on the box it isn't a UCS model. Now leave it there.

Theres no ucs seal on the red five...

UCS = Expensive. That's about as specific as it gets.

Or the Tumbler IIRC

Does anyone know what delivery courier Smyths uses?

I should probably ask the people in this thread...

Is it rude/wrong of me to deploy the Kragle, when the Lego in question is an individual kit, intended for display, won't be merged into anything else... and is quite fragile?

I almost had it built, but then the wife sent it flying so will have to start again from scratch.

Never, EVER*, deploy the Kragle. One day you'll move, or need something else to take its place, and you can't disassemble it. Or maybe you just want the pleasure of rebuilding it.

Whereas you could disassemble and store it or sell it - and Lego keeps it's value excellently - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/...a-better-investment-than-shares-and-gold.html

(*Unless you plan to deploy said plastic bricks into the back garden in a Miniland fashion. Which is a dream of mine...)

Hermes according to their website.

The Kwik-E-Mart and Pet Shop are both £20 off but the Pet Shop is only available collect only in Cardiff, 120miles/2 and a half hours return trip doesn't make the trip worth it.

Why did you have to say that. I've spent way too much over the past month, but i want the kwik-e-mart.

I need to stop visiting this thread.

 

[Skeeter]

Its really bad isn't it! Lol.

 

[MrKnifey]

I have the Kwik-e-Mart.. Not got round to opening the box yet!

 

[Nismo]

Has anyone seen any Series 15 minifigs in stores yet? They were meant to be released on the 1st but Lego had them immediately out of stock, and only Smyths seem to have a provisional date of 11th Jan to get them in.

How much was it unboxed? I really like that set, always a fan of the gunship and the dropship would be great to go with it

 

[physichull]

I paid £270 for it (I know!).

Too true. Sadly this hasn't worked for me... and thus I now have a Kwik-E-Mart on the way

Firehouse is still in warehouse, and my card hasn't been charged, they've never replied to teh first email I sent them, so guess I'm going to have to phone them to find out what is going on.

I'd suggest checking with your local store directly. The website was showing out of stock of the Pet Shop for St. Helens, but I was in there yesterday and they had 3.

I ordered one of the Creator models last week and like your it's also still in Warehouse, I am guessing there is a backlog to deal with
