Picked up the Aston Martin and Kylo Ren Shuttle for my brother in laws Christmas presents. Hopefully he'll enjoy those.

Jesus, how much do you spend on christmas!

Well, decided I didn't want to wait for christmas, so built the batmobile over the weekend, fun little build to be honest, a couple of things that I didn't like with the way that the rear bodywork curves up over the wheels, but other than that, very happy with it.

I wasn't too sure about the Batmobile, but saw it in a LEGO store was much bigger than I thought it was - looked awesome
How is everyone's post Christmas Lego building going?
Built my mini Batmobile and my ship in a bottle. The Batmobile is great, can't wait to get into the big version in the coming days.
The ship in the bottle on the other hand was a bit of a disappointment. I really like it but every large transparent curved panel bar one had deep scratches on them, it really spoils the model. The one remaining large panel and a few of the smaller square ones have lighter scratches all over them. I've emailed customer service, let's see what they say as its now discontinued and sold out. Did anyone else who bought this set issues with theirs?

My Mrs got me the 911 rsr. I got myself the ucs falcon
. She didn't know until Christmas eve
. Ice started the Porsche but I'm not starting the falcon till I get my mancave built. I've seen a semi-verticle stand so can put it on a desk, and have a tie chase it. I've got the lights too (very overpriced, but I'm sad). When I told my Mrs about the lights and that I'd looked into which tie was the right scale she rolled her eyes at me and called me nerd.

I've finally bought myself the Saturn. I noticed on the website that it was due to be retired soon so thought I'd snap one up before I missed out. I can't wait for it to turn up now!
Can't wait for it to be retired!

I got no Lego for Christmas 
my eco warrior sister decided this year was a 'no presents for adults year' and honestly it was a bit crap.
Oh well - good excuse to treat myself!

Lego stores (in store) have loads of the 89 Batmobiles and the free minifig scaled Batmobiles in btw; although not available online, its all gone to store.
Birmingham store has been selling the mini one on its own but a couple of the others i've been in this week are still holding off selling and only including free. They did say will be selling it soon most likely as over stocked so keep an eye out.

Got my first Lego set since I was a kid coming today. I love Friends, so I thought I’d try the Central Perk set. If it’s good I might even get the LED kit for it too. Make it a display piece.

On the Lego ideas page, there’s a great Mary Poppins Cherry tree lane set that would be great to build. It’s about 1k short of the magic 10k support mark. Get voting please lads

Built another Lego set for my son. I’m actually glad he doesn’t like building and just playing, as I’m really enjoying building some of these at the moment.
He’s now got every Lego Avengers or Spider-Man set out now though which is a shame as they’re the only ones he’s interested in so means I’m not building. I’m almost tempted to start my own Star Wars collection going
This one was a nightmare to build on Christmas Day evening, took 4 hours and the instructions were awful. Really unclear as to where all the bits they said I’d need actually went

Wow, opening that plastic bag and smelling those fresh bricks. A swathe of misty eyed childhood nostalgia came sweeping over me.
