aye need the parts list... very tempted hahah

There's a link to an .ldd file that might have a parts list.

From what I remember, it was fairly standard technics parts, but there was an awful lot of lego needed for that one.

Jack street's lego guns book is worth a look. The Enfield carbine in particular, is excellent.

Doesn't look like the saturn v is being released?
Certainly no hint of it

Just ordered the Crocodile Locomotive. No one seems to stock it anywhere, even on the Lego site.. Back order with delivery end November!
Came with some free mini Mindstorm robots and double points..

In stock at John Lewis

Don't normally do buildings and mini figures as such. But. I love this and think it deserves to go into production. Guitars? Records? Cars? Art Deco building?

Not too far to go to the 10,000.

Very similar to the diner though. If it had an actual car wash built in then maybe...

I was just about to post the same offer.

The Sian is £299 and with £40 off its £260. Great price. But the Chiron for £199 is a total bargain.

Extended return window too (until 28 Jan 2021) if wanting to leave unopened until Black Friday, etc.

Batwing ordered. Used some VIP points so got it for £150 (plus another £7.50 equivalent in new VIP points and whatever TCB gives me). Can't complain.

Had a look at the 89 batwing on display in my local lego store tonight. Loads in stock, lack of decent freebies though.

Doesn't hit the same aesthetic as the 89 batmobile in person for me.

Disappointed they didn't do a minifigure compatible batwing freebie. Perhaps they have an updated one on its way to retail in the new year.

Looks amazing in pics. Not as good in real life?

Quite a Cool GTO created from the Sian. But that colour match. Ewww. It's bad. Really bad.

Compared to how good the 89 batmobile is vs the 89 movie aesthetic is; for me it's not close enough. The cockpit, ridged wing edges and a lot of exposed brick studs don't afford the same accuracy.

However as a lego set, it is still a great representation but it's not quite enough to persuade me to buy it. Had they included a minifigure scaled version like the batmobile, on balance I would go for it.

The above is a personal perspective and I imagine most will love it.

The 89 Batmobile was a flippers dream. I bought one on release direct from Lego with the mini batmobile included as a freebie.

I built the big one, which was fun , but the variation in the blackness made it look like crap , so I sold it on , used, immediately, but without the mini figures. They were sold separately for £70. The big Batmobile went for £170 and the free mini Batmobile went for £75.

Quite a profitable build. I felt really guilty afterwards.

Not!

Love that model, but those colours, terrible and distracts so so much

 

[b0rn2sk8]

That’s pretty bad, some of those parts have almost an orange hue to them.

Its really sad.
I'm going to be getting the sian knock off at some because of the terrible colours on the official set
The knock off sets have the colours spot on apparently

Spoiler: Bootlego Pics. Please do not open if easily offended.

Nothing wrong with the colours on mine. Every single panel , pin , flex axle is the same colour.

Why Lego can't do this I have no idea.

That's the serving hatch. I used to do puppet shows for the kids through that.

It's an old house...
