***The Official OcUK Lego Thread***

To add to the collection above, I accidentally ordered the 4x4 Crawler for £99 and have also just ordered the Unimog..... was worried that it might go EOL shortly and didnt want to miss out!
 
Visited parents, dug around in loft, found a big box of LEGO.
colour separated, bagged, washed and dried, now in process of rebuilding.

Figure the stuff is 25 years old for these newer bits, dating back to 30 years old for the elder stuff.
 
Taken well over 6 hours so far, maybe 7+. Still got the rear/bottom to do, then all the panels, so still got 1/3 of construction to go.

£350, still available from Lego stores - dont bother with etailers who charge lots cos its 'discontinued'.
 
Ohh, lots for a model, I am thinking of a Tower of Orthanc for later this summer, I think RRP is £169, so hopefully there will be discount somewhere at some stage.


Anyway, at the weekend put togethere my really old stuff, at least what was left of it, in the best order I could find.

Starting with some Space stuff circa 1988ish.

and then the older stuff, around 33 years old I think, 1980ish, unfortunately I didn't have all the pieces remaining so one entire starship remains unbuilt, as I only have its windows and the registration plate tile, but one was mostly built, and the starbase was almost complete, just couldn't extend the running track far enough.

Moonbase Beta one and a couple of little space trucks of the era

Finally some Lego city stuff, again, not complete
Ignore the Chimera stuff, that's very recent and was £4 on discount at tescos, so wife bought it.

Between 1988 and 2013 I bought no Lego, since the start of 2013, my wife started buying discount packs, we've the entirety of last years LOTR range, and plan t continue and get this year. With some random starwars and ninjago and chimera stuff thrown in.
Only really interested in the LOTR set, maybe with Hobbit as companion.
 
I really like the bit in the Lego Movie trailer where Morgan Freeman is listing the best of the best and mentions 1980's space guy, your first pic reminded me.

In related news it has been confirmed that the next Travellers Tales Lego game, after Marvel, will be the Lego Movie game.

One for the Lego fans, thought it was just another Lego clip on you tube, but no it's a film coming out next year :D

 
I've become a kid again.



I've been hunting on eBay and some nice kits there I want so much so have a watch list the length of my arm. Some from when I was a kid that are still new and sealed!!! Trip to Ikea for a much needed cabinet I think is a must before I build them.
 
I accidentally picked up a B-Wing the other week for just over £110 in a Lego store, that is on my list to build.

The bought the Chima Gorilla set yesterday as I could get it for £30, and it looks very impressive and clever how it all fits together.

Also on the to build list - most of the Marvel SH sets, and a couple of Modular sets, but I have to build them with the wife!
 
Dont know if anyones interested, but the Lego Cuusoo BTTF Delorean and the Lego Technic 41999 Exclusive Edition "BOSS" 4x4 Crawler" have just been released and are now available to buy on the Lego store....

Only making 10,000 of the Deloreans and 20,000 of the Exclusive 4x4 Crawler so I doubt they'll be around for long....
