***The Official OcUK Lego Thread***

Think I will pick up the Red Five X-Wing tomorrow but since it doesn't come with Luke in his orange jump suit. What is the cheapest way of getting one of those figures so I can put him in the cockpit? :p
 
Have to say the Lego store staff are pretty awesome.

Mother went in and got me some Lego for christmas and they asked if she had a VIP card, Said she didn't but I did and the Lego was for me anyway. Women asked for my name, looked me up and confirmed she had the right account and added the points to my VIP card. Extra £5 off thank you :D

That figure is in the Snowspeeder (75049) set. It does retail at £35 but has been down to £22 recently.
 
I am actually quite confused and torn which set to get. I'd like one or may be 2 of these max, I don't want all of them.

I want the Tumbler mainly because of the Batman and Joker figure, I don't even think the Tumbler itself is that great. It looks to have a few flappy panels which seems lazy and there ought to be more bits that it can do I feel, like proper technics suspension or something. Plus, because it is all black, it is hard to see the detail of all the pieces

The X-wing although is nice, what I really want is the Millennium Falcon as a Star Wars piece. It is also annoying that it doesn't come with Luke ! Although the price is good and looks impressive. £140

The Simpsons' House. Actually my favourite in terms of execution, looks and what it comes with and I can actually play with it like a big kid lol. £170

The Crawler 4x4, I like Technics and this has a remote and motor !!! Again, I can drive this in the garden. £100

What is more important to me is the build, I want a satisfying build and a fun build. I know they are all in the line of look for the right piece and put it on but some can be quite tedious. I like some build where you can see it taking shape more as you progress, the Millennium Falcon one looks great for example.

So taking away the Tumbler, which I don't think I really like now that I thought about it. Which of the 3 left is best bang for buck in terms of building process? I am leaning towards the crawler, seeing it has actual mechanical moving parts.

I have the X-Wing, the Tumbler and the 4x4 Crawler. My favourite is the X-Wing, it just looks stunning and it's pretty big, the tumbler also looks great and being black doesn't take away the detail. The Crawler looks ok but just because it has motor functions don't expect it to go tearing around the garden, it's epically slow. If you want an RC truck, you'll be best off buying an RC truck not a lego model.

I don't have the Simpsons house partly because I don't like the Simpsons and partly because I don't like the way it folds out splitting some of the rooms in half which would make it difficult to play with, if that's your bag. They should have made it more like a modular building in my opinion. It will look good closed up as a display piece though.
 
If it's that epically slow then I won't bother, I was hoping for at least a tiny oomph.

X-wing and perhaps the Simpsons house it is then.
