Just disassembled all of mine pending a house move. My hands are literally bleeding!

The falcon was an absolute pig, it is not designed to come apart.

Moved mine whole

I know this isn't the kind of thing you guys would like to talk about in here but needs must... i have around 28 unopened Lego sets ranging from you basic Lego city cars all the way up to the Lego Sandcrawler that i need to sell. Obviously there is ebay (Horrible fees) Facebook marketplace (Lots and lots of specialists/people offering 10p) are there any places anyone can recommend i sell these from? Like i say it hurts me to do so but i've been off sick from work for over a year now and keeping a house over my families head is more important. I guess... Lol

I did that too for my falcon, just laid a sheet down in the car to catch any bits falling off

Put mine in a mammoth TV box. Was well worth it. I remember how long it took to build !

Harley Davidson turned up today, hopefully I'll get some time this weekend to make a start. Saw it in the shop the other day too, didn't realise how big it was

It’s been asked a couple of times and denied in the past.

Dis86 · 19 Aug 2019 at 15:01

Yup. It would be great but sadly is a no.

Finished bag 1 of the Harley tonight, looks decent so far, some nice touches already

So on the lego store the saturn V expected shipping date has moved from 30/08 to 16/09. Hoping my order isn't delayed further.

I've just ordered one from john lewis. I'll keep my lego shop order open to keep the VIP points then sell the set on when it eventually (if ever) comes.

Built the Apollo lander at the weekend and Flinstones ideas set. Both great little sets, some nice touches on the Flinstones set and the lander was great as well.

Got the Mercedes Arocs next on my pile of opportunity. Thinking I will buy the treehouse as well, has anyone got it? Thoughts?

Also waiting for the new Liebherr Excavator

We'd get a ton of people signing up just for that with no interest in the community or OCUK store I'd imagine

No reason you couldn't have the same usage / membership rules as the current set though

Damn you.. winter fire station now on its way to me!

Brickwatch is a cool site which tracks Lego prices. Unfortunately with the Sterling worth about as much as a bag of crisps I can't imagine it's particularly good for you guys

https://www.brickwatch.net/en-GB/

Also Taj Mahal @ £191 WTF??
I paid £250 on John Lewis back in April (albeit with Las Vegas & Great Wall of China Architecture in a bundle) :mad:

It's £300 RRP; how is £191 "20%"?
