Pics of my Lego haul for this week (actually it's my first set of purchases this year )

I found the Podracers in a small toy shop and after seeing them in this thread thought they looked cool, Sebulba's especially.

As for the others, Littlewoods Ireland had a 20% sale off & I used a code to get another 10% off. Cost me €186.30 as opposed to the combined RRP here of €249.97 for the Star Wars sets.

Doctor Who is for a friend's Christmas present, again with Littlewoods it cost €46.80 instead of €60.

Is the pod racer set front the original set? I had that like 15 years ago.

No. The original was Anakins only. The twin set is a more recent re-release.

Its such a good set. Treated myself to it at Christmas having wanted a Pod Racer set since the moment I saw Episode 1.

I've just got back from a full day at Lego Land in Windsor. The two Lego shops (Starwars and Big Shop) are amazing, could easily spend a couple of £k on sets.

The Starwars area was also amazing, the Millennium Falcon was huge.

Looks awesome. I am going to go soon.

Agreed. Its fun to build and looks great.

There was another old podracers set that also included a third pod racer...cant remember the name, but that was early 2000s.

Are there any older or interesting sets available for purchase or is it fairly much what you'd get in Smyths, Toys R Us or direct off the Lego store?

Same but more expensive except the ucs type stuff which is the same price.

Pretty much the same as the online Lego store. What was impressive was seeing every Lego set available under one roof in themed sections.

Got the Captain America airport set with the mini and giant ant-man figures. Worth it for the giant ant-man @ £53.

The VW Beetle is up a day early for VIP's.

[Diddums]

OMG I must have that!

That'll go so well with the Mini and camper

 

[Broken Hope]

I'd wait though since their site is having issues, can't use my VIP credit and it's not recognising the free delivery for being over £50.

What's a better build in terms of fun, satisfaction and the " oooooohhhh so that's what this does" moment.

Lego Beetle ordered, should go nicely with the Camper. All they need now is a Karmann Ghia.

 

[Broken Hope]

You don't realise the size unless you see it next to a person.

Same !!! Yay !

Surprised we don't get more mini figs with it seeing as all the references in the castle are towards characters not included.

I suspect there'll be more models with the characters included, which you'll have to buy to get. "Lego DLC" if you like.
