Im on bag 8 of 17 already, it’s bigger than I expected it to be.

Apparently its as big as the Technic cars??

I only have the Porsche and it isn’t made up but yes that’s about right (much narrower at the front a you’d expect).

The porsche 911 gt3 RS in orange? That's my favourite of the big cars.
The stand should help. Means it doesn't take up a it's whole foot print. I'm not sure where it's going to go!

Dont do the Lego thing myself but I do like some of the models. Anyway I thought some of you might be interested in The Lego Masters USA, on E4 Tuesday.

Just picked ip another couple of the speed champions models. They are small but well detailed.

I have most of them, they are generally nice little builds.

They really are. I prefer the slightly bigger ones at £18 over the cheaper £13 ones

Yes, I do like the Speed Champions sets. I’ve got quite a few of them and I really like how they manage to get the spirit of the cars into the little models.

Has there been any confirmation of whether the physical lego stores are opening on 12th yet?

Stores are open, mine had full stocks of lots of kits which are currently sold out online plus 4 months worth of freebies depending how much you spend.

Scotland stores won't open till 26th April.

That was 3776 Points (Bluewater) - only obvious thing they didn't have instock was the Fossils - but cant complain at double points and 4 GWPs.

I'd never seen the flower sets before, nice.

 

[b0rn2sk8]

The bonsai tree is back at lego.con too, first time since jan 1st I think.

 

[steve5424]

Gutted that Glasgow store won't be open till the 26th. Damn.

 

[b0rn2sk8]

Did anyone go for the VIP Ulysses Satellite this morning?

I managed to get one after about 25 mins of refreshing but it’s all kicking off on the lego fan sites as lego.com fell over (again...) and demand massively outstripping supply with seemingly most people missing out.

 

[pepp77]

Tried and failed to get on from 9 until just after half past and then boom straight in and sold out.

 

[steve5424]

Lego really need to learn. If they have 600,000 of an item to sell then they will likely need the same amount of GWP. Not the few hundred that it seems to be.

I'm going to start buying knock offs after this.
I was on from 845 to 945 and constantly (on multiple devices) getting a 'accept ts&cs'
When I did get on, obviously sold out.

So I'm returning my lego.com orders. All of them. Colessum, treehouse and blacksmith. Just going to get the copies. I don't care.

Why they don't allow you to buy for 1 day and avoid all this backlash I don't know.
