Hi there


Please no one burn me, but my girlfriend knows I love Star Trek and so she got me a LEGO Enterprise, however its not lego, it is Mega Blocks, something I'd never heard off but it seems LEGO don't have rights to Star Trek stuff, anyway I have LEGO stuff and to be honest there is really no difference, same concept, so being building this on and off since new year, its a few thousand pieces and its being great fun building it, was not expecting it to be as large as it is, but it is awesome:

Spoiler: Pictures

That's a nice Start Trek build, might have to look around for that one.

And not gonna burn you but considering what she gave you, I hope you gave her a bit more then what you said below in another thread !

That's one expensive Christmas List !

Threadripper 3970X £1889,99
ASUS Prime TRX40-PRO £409,99
Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 64GB £379,99 x 4 = £1519,96
Cooler Master Masterliquid ML360 RGB TR4 £129,95
Cooler Master V1300 Platinum £160
KFA2 RTX 2080TI HOF £1499,99
Corsair LL120 RGB Fans Triple Pack £74,99
Steelseries Arctis PRO Wireless £269,99
Glorious Gaming Surface 3XL £29,99
Lian Li 011 Dynamic £119,99
LG 34GK950F £999,95

Total: £7,104.79

Someone is gonna be a bit broke buying all that (or maybe sell a car to finance it? ).

And here I thought the case I found for £366 (roughly after conversion) was an expensive Christmas Wish for myself !

I got her the mouse mat so all sorted.

I am pretty terrible at buying presents in all honesty, I got her a few things, but I do feel she out did me, it is hard when your girl friend encourages your hobbies and buys you stuff like that or even worse car parts, why she is a keeper.

I did get her a Sonos One, but in a way its a joint present as we both use it in the house for google assistant and playing music etc.

Was half price a few weeks before xmas at Argos. No way would i have paid £120 for this.

I did the same - my lad is 4 loves trains and Lego too. Bought him this in the same sale before Christmas. enjoyed building it with him but I’d have been a bit grumbly at full price!

Built my first of the new 8 wide speed champions today. 76895 Ferrari F8.

Absolutely brilliant set, fun build, 100% worth the price hike on these.

I just found this Lego stand and case site, they look amazing. Ordered the Batmobile stand and case with background

Now that is brilliant. Might get a few. My Yellow Submarine and Central Perk.

Amazon had the Y Wing up for 150 down from 220RRP, snapped it up.

 

[b0rn2sk8]

The RRP of that set was only £169.99 so not really a bargain. It’s retired now though so I wouldn’t expect to see it drop much. Check brick link/eBay to see how much they are selling for on there.

 

[DampCat]

160-200 on eBay at the moment, the 220 was the max Amazon price, my mistake

Looks like a Lego ISS due for release Feb 1st

I was hoping for a moon buggy to go with the lander but that will do...

Too few pieces for me.

Looks great, quite pricey though. The cost of the stand and case for the Lego Friends Central Perk is almost as much as I paid for the set. Christmas present for the Mrs who was never given Lego to play with as a child (unlike her brother), she seemed to enjoy building it with my daughter.

Awesome, more space based Lego to feed my addiction. If only I could find the Shuttle for cheap enough..

Nice one, I might have to get the mount for my Saturn.

I think the stands and bases are priced okay. The moment you add a case the price jumps up but if you look online, eBay etc... the case prices are inline with the prices on those sites.

Got all these to make with my son, he is only 3 so i do the making but he finds all the pieces and puts the odd bits together, he loves racing cars so is very excited.

Has anyone voted on the new ucs set? I'm torn as i think all choices would be worth it.

 

[b0rn2sk8]

I did, it was the nebulon frigate for me.

I was torn but can’t see that working in a non-UCS form, the other one I fancied was the bomber but that could work in a non-UCS form.

Hard one, I think the Frigate would be a more enjoyable build but the Tie Bomber would just look great.
