This is a bigger waste of money than that person's football cards. But have fun with your toy
Agree! I can think of so much more I'd rather spend £350 on. I'm guessing you don't have a mortgage, car to run or need to pay for the cost of living?!! Lucky you being able to waste that amount of cash on an achievement like that...

Quite an assumption there!
As it happens, I don't have a mortgage, but I do run a car.
As I said before, I consider this to be a long term investment, as well as something fun to build, so I don't consider it to be a waste.

I watched a documentary on lego and to build a custom mould is around £150,000 so there are VERY few custom parts made for anything due to the massive cost.
Also lego are the worlds biggest tyre manufacturer lol.

The Forklift Transporter, which doubled as a Car transporter (#8872) was my fav lego kit.
The One Arm digger (#8837) almost had me in tears of frustration trying to build it. (It doesn't look it, but it was one complicated mofo)
I was saving up for #8868 - Logger - before I decided I grew out of lego. One of the few regrets in my life.

Where as in actual "this is fact" land, the opposite tends to be true
On an aside, I love star wars lego - although pretty much only the old stuff! Wish I could get hold of some TIE fighters
Aye, it doesn't look like it contains any more custom pieces than the classic "space lego" from the 70's and 80's.
Nothing like the modern "pirate lego" range, where half the hull of a ship is a single moulded piece/
