Tesco have double clubcard points on lots of LEGO at the moment. Just picked up 42009 Mobile Crane for £ 60 worth of clubcard vouchers

That Mini Mini is cool, when will it be released to the great unwashed?

1st August

This thread needs more WWII tanks!

 

[Kishywish]

Definitely gonna buy it!!!

I bought my wife the lego VW T1 camper van for her birthday (she's not a lego fan).

That mini will be just perfect for her birthday this year - it's fantastic.

 

[Burned_Alive]

The VW Beetle?

You know that's worth a small fortune right?

Will defo be getting The Tumbler when it becomes available

 

[Cavallino]

SO folks, how does one get VIP access?
And when is the Tumbler available for us non-VIPs

 

[Skeeter]

Buy something from the Lego.com store or a Lego shop and sign up after purchase.

And 1st September.

The Exo Suit is available on the 26th at the Bluewater store, with Peter Reid there signing boxes.

Thought you meant the ex-footballer and manager there for a minute till I Googled

 

[Cosimo]

Very tempted by The Tumbler.

 

[Skeeter]

It needs to be available for considerably less than the £160 Lego are asking for it though.

 

[Simian]

How's £117.10 (USD to GBP conversion)

I might get my friend in the US to get me one at the Lego Experience in Illinois and send it to me as a gift!!

 

[Skeeter]

Hmm...

It seems a bit... I dunno, lacking, for a £160 set...?

 

[Simian]

Lacking... LACKING?!?!...

WANT NOW!!!

 

[Cosimo]

Hmm...

 

[Lisapete]

LEGO Technic 8070 , Seen a few on eBay and tempting

 

[Grandmaster Fap!]

Heath Ledger Joker only in that set? taking bets on how much those will go for on ebay?

 

[Skeeter]

Lacking what?

I dunno, I just expected more for £160. Maybe working steering? Or an opening canopy rather than just removing plates in the roof to see inside? And the flap movement seemed a bit flimsy.

But then it is a UCS set, which seems to be very much geared towards big static display models.

I just look at my Technic GP Racer that was less than half the price, is 50% bigger, and has working steering and moveable engine cover and rear wing, and can't helping thinking the Tumbler is quite poor value for money?
