***The Official OcUK Lego Thread***
- Thread starter Rameses
- Start date
Clearly not if you look at this thread. Very few of the big sets are actually toys. They are for putting on display to make sure these people never get the chance to mate
I don't see much play value in that or something like the SSD, they are show pieces really. The death star is more like a big set that's for playing with in my opinion.

Lego is quintessentially a toy, ergo to be played with. Just give that SSD to a child and see if it's still a model
Don't get me wrong, I love the stuff and have had it all my life... I still have the Exoskeleton sat in an unopened box, waiting to be built by me or my nephew (unless it sits there long enough to have accrued too much value to warrant opening the box 
)

Marvel Helicarrier arrived earlier 
Managed to get the Ferrari Speed Champions F1 Truck from Argos today before it's officially out. I saw it on the site this morning and reserved it, store didn't actually want to give it me though as their system physically wouldn't allow the sale before 1st March, but after kicking up a fuss and a sob story they gave me £5 off for the inconvenience of having to wait for head office to OK it before release date
Still think it's way overpriced, but as a Lego and F1 fan I couldn't resist...

I think they are nice enough sets, not ones I would buy straight away as most of the non star wars stuff is available for almost half the price in 2 or 3 months by just watching lego on hotukdeals. Then again we have time to wait, my son still has 4 or 5 sets to build from xmas and the lego death star to build! So I can understand others buying straight away.

Is it ****
Art my backside. It's the modern equivalent of star wars duvet sets and those girls who still used to have a room full of dolls or teddies. If you went round a 25 year old girls and she still had her bedroom covered in teddies you would run. Unless she was hot, then you would do it after moving the teddies aside and then run
What would you think if you went to a girls and she had Elsa's Frozen castle on the coffee table. What a nice piece of art, or grow the **** up

It depends what the castle looks like and how it is made.
But are we really going to have a debate on what is and isn't Art?

Saw seven kinds of Speed Champion model in town today, no clue which of it is new
Sunny Loughborough and no buyers if people need it!
