5?!

5?!

Decided to try the 'lego goes up in value' thing.
See if it works

Same! Fortunately managed to buy them at the equivalent of £55 each when JL had a ridiculous deal on.

Where did you order the Saturn V from? If it was the lego shop online you'll be waiting a while.

John Lewis. Order has gone through so here's hoping

Is it just me who things the cheap porche looks terrible.

I feel it would taint the bigger porsche technic set sat near it

There is something about it that just looks off.

I dunno if it's the colour scheme or that it doesn't look like a car or that I'm used to the premium technic models but I just can't see the appeal.

Loool lego snob!


Only technics I have is the 911 but still boxed away, haven't even built my saturn. Haven't even built my kwiki mart!

Last one I finished was the batmobile before I got married. Then about half way through bubba fetts ship before my eldest was born... Give me a few more years... Haha

A few bits built recently, firstly the Lunar Lander which I was trying to avoid until I saw the Adam Savage review, detail on this one is great.

Then a couple of kits from the far east, firstly a knock off of the Technic stunt racer although rather than having the standard IR RC setup found in the Lego kit this has a all in one (receiver, battery, motor) unit which works over bluetooth, which can be controlled either with the provided controller or downloading an app for your phone/tablet. All works very well and the quality of the kit is as good as Lego itself.

Lastly this one which has impressed me the most, just £14 for a small technic type kit with 1100+ pieces including a pullback motor. Quality of the pieces is fantastic and the instructions and stickers are also very good, although the colour of the blue stickers isn't the same as the plastic. For a small model it really does a good job of the 911 shape.

I started with the smaller sets. Like the star wars non ucs millennium falcon, poes x-wing

Then I got the ucs tie fighter, ucs falcon, ucs (knock off) imperial shuttle, technic porsche 911 gt3, chiron, saturn v Etc


Now I don't really have any interest in the smaller sets.
The small sets look like toys, the large sets look like display pieces.

Never been keen on the ucs cutaway sets. Battle of hoth and newer death star.

Same, I’m well into things like architecture and the ‘adult’ space stuff these days.

I’d do the modular buildings but you can’t get the older ones anymore for a good collection.

Taj mahal is my favourite, bought off ebay second hand think it's in a plastic tub in my parents loft now

It was the Simpsons house that got me in to lego, then I just couldn't stop

I'm caving guys, i'm going to buy my son the 76119 batmobile for his 3rd birthday. I've let him play with the small truck from the bucket excavator and hes ok with that (although he has also asked to play with the chiron, but thats not going to happen).

 

[NVP]

That looks way more fun than the big one was

Not to tell you how to parent, but why not go for the LEGO 76137 Batmobile instead? Bit more age appropriate and probably wont fall apart as much while he's playing with it.

The other kit is for 7+!

Waheeey I only have to wait one more year before I can start getting the kids lego!!!
