Atat arrived. I'm waiting till I've finished my exam next month before starting so it will either be a congratulations or commiserations treat :cry: .

Enjoy! Can’t wait to get the ATAT. Possibly when it’s next offered on the Lego website along with my points.

Went into the store to look at the justifier, but even at 5x points I just can’t justify the cost.
 
It’s pretty normal for everyone but Lego to run promotions on Lego. I only ever pay full price for the sets Lego only sell or they are on a good gift with purchase deal like the x-wing was this week.

Anything sold by a non-Lego retailer will at some point have at least 20% off then.

This weeks been a bit expensive got the Razor Crest and the new x wing and I still have the at-at to build from when Smyths had 20% off it earlier in the year.

Yeah 20pc off Rrp is the max I'll pay.


Between ebay and 3rd party retailers, buying lego at Rrp is mad.

Only time I do it is if I want a GWP. So far that's only happened once.

Live chat is very good. They always resolve.

Unless you paid for expedited it's only 4 working days.

I find that can take 5-7+ working days to dispatch on normal service at busy times but then it comes by an express 1-2 day delivery service.

Same. Hasn’t even been processed yet. They really are poor at dispatching anything. Meanwhile this arrived from Amazon in a day, eventually going to be added to the cantina build:

I bought the Throne Room in the recent sales too.

A lot of these diorama sets do look great on the bookshelves and display units in situ. Even if they seem to be a bit lacklustre in reviews.

Well that was painful. An unexpected Lego refund on May 9th. Contacted Lego support today, can’t find my order. The system clearly broke. What hurts the most is the system losing my 200 custom brick order that I put together over a few weeks. Think I’ll just stick to Amazon in future.

So the new 89/92' Minifig Scale Batcave is out soon.

The batmobile included looks great. The batwing is launching in a separate set @£35

A few more alt brand builds, firstly a Dodge Charger from Mould King, similar to the Lego Creator Mustang it can be built as a standard car or modified with the big engine. Has adjustable rear height to set the stance which is pretty cool.



A couple of Speed Champion sized cars, note the the Mould King cars (Corvette here) come with a display case.


Then this one from Jaki, fav recent build. Interesting assembly techniques, great quality pieces, loads of them plated or printed (no stickers) and all for less than £25. Anything similar from Lego would be well in excess of £100+

I like this too! Better than most of the lego sets of late!

Finding it harder and harder to be inspired by lego recent releases.

Not sure if it's me or lego have changed slightly.

I think it looks terrible myself. Just can't see where I'd put something like that.

So just got out the hospital after getting a kidney transplant 2 weeks ago. My younger bro came to visit and has bought me set 75257.Millenium Falcon for me.

So I've got something to keep me occupied for a few days. I was shocked to be honest.
