Lego Store or elsewhere?
Tempted to pop into Argos as they have 3-for-2 on toys, but can't guarantee a full set that way.

Geoffs toys (Toymaster) in Loughborough, they kept me a full set behind the counter.
Having a lookie around on GrabCAD today, and I found this...
Incredibly detailed but of Autodesk Inventor Modelling!!!
Each Brick has been modelled, and assembled as per the UCS Falcon instruction manual!! So even the interior detail is there! Just need to remove specific panels!
However it nearly killed my Computer, as the model is HUGE and my memory usage shot up to 4Gb... I've only got 8Gb (7.5Gb due to Graphics!!)... so I've just ordered another 8Gb!!

I really wish I had picked up the UCS Falcon when it came out, I have the UCS X-Wing, Tie Interceptor and Star Destroyer but unfortunately the Falcon came out just after I had bought my first house and I just could not justify the expense 
My main era for Lego would be the 80's, particularly the space lego of that time (I have many boxes packed away) ... as such I really like Benny in the Lego Movie and really like the set from the movie for his spaceship. Trouble was that it was ~£80 from all the main retailers which I can't really justify at the moment ... so I was happy when I found that John Lewis are selling it for ~£60 ... result!

Picked up 16 of the latest minifigure series from Argos yesterday, they have a 3 for 2 on toys until Friday. Had to get help as their systems will only let you buy 10 of anything.
Got six duplicates which is pretty good, now to wait for more people to get them to swap on Swapfig.

Not sure if I'll build it though.
Obligatory

Funnily enough my GF thinks its daft not to build it so I said you can help me if we do it naked. She thinks its a great plan.
Weekend is looking good
