I went for the Lightailing set. Was about £33 on Amazon. I don’t really know where to go for the acrylic box.

Nope never. I'm actually no longer in Rutherglen. Just moved to Dalmarnock a few weeks ago. I know a Steven that did work there in early 2000s.

Several evenings into the Mould King Monarch Star Destroyer (something like bag 3 of 20+) and this thing is insane, absolutely massive and a really interesting build. I know the non Lego stuff is questionable but the quality of it and the value for money makes it hard to ignore.
If lego don't produce something I want soon in going to end up brand straying badly!
The ISD in the pics above doesn't look great as all. Glad I didn't get it. That monotone grey makes the details hard to see.
I totally understand its accurate. Just really not keen.
I'm still undecided on the colosseum. Holds interest at ive been. Not worried about the boring build. It just seems a bit lacking. But can't figure it out
There are so many naff sets coming out it's hard to know if I've missed any good ones.
The shuttle was a stand out gem

I see the daily bugle 76178 is already out in stores, they snuck that one out quick.
Had a look in my store and it's very impressive.

I’m not into Marvel but I had a quick look.
The building itself doesn’t look like a particularly interesting build (grey and repetitive), it’s all the stuff that’s stuck onto it that adds all the character.
I’m sure there are lots of references in the build which are completely lost on me.

Same, it looks like great attention to details. Same with the Friends apartment, there are loads of little easter eggs for fans of the show.
Just did a quick price check on a few of my collection: The 10221 Super Star Destroyer is going for £1.1k, and the 10030 Imperial Star Destroyer for £1.9k on ebay! I've got 2 of each BNIB, might have to start storing them some-place safer! Even the 10212 Imperial Shuttle is at £800! (Also 2x BNIB) Another 20 years and let's see how they all get on

Do you never build any of them, or just buy them for profit (scalp them)?Just did a quick price check on a few of my collection: The 10221 Super Star Destroyer is going for £1.1k, and the 10030 Imperial Star Destroyer for £1.9k on ebay!

I wanted to get that Shuttle when it was £350...
I always bought 2 of every model I wanted, 1 to build and 1 to keep. I used to build quite regularly but I also bought loads at a time so I ended up with quite a backlog, then when I got married and had kids I stopped having any time to build them. People still buy me them as gifts now (my sister always gets me 2 of each haha) and I still occasionally by them for myself as well, but they just go straight on the pile. I plan to break some out to do with my kids when they're old enough.
