Prime day sale on atm. Got big bowser for my daughter (160) and the at-te (87) so not too bad.
Just realised the at-te doesn't actually sell for rrp anywhere, but something of is better than nothing.

Took advantage of teh double VIP points to grab the Bookstore modular and Winnie the Pooh for Daughter (later investment as she is currently 2 and loves it).

My hand was forced. Girlfriends last day at Waitrose/John Lewis so using her discount for the last time :( it's made Lego much more impulse worthy!

Lighthouse set is one I've wanted from the start but never pulled the trigger, and the Santa house is for her to set up at Xmas along with the elf one we bought last year!

One last hurrah :(
 
iir it means the large technic piece came in a seperate bag or loose in the box. you'll be working from bag number x needing those 2 red pins from that bag x plus this loose part.

Currently building the 1:8 scale Technic Ferrari and I don't know if its just me, but the little pins seem to be more difficult to push in. I remember with the Porsch they pushed home easily with a satisfying click, but with the Ferarri i'm having to tilt the part around and apply a lot of pressure.

Is that the number 51 Le Mans car or the Daytona?

So it looks like Lego have indeed changed the design of their pins from the Porsche, Lambo and Bugatti to the new Ferrari Daytona. I knew they felt different, but I broke both my thumbs a few months back and thought it might have been due to that. The left is the old design and the right is the new. The new pins also have a small slot in the side that's absent from the old pins. Its weird as it looks as though the right/new should be easier to insert with the longer slots, but I'm wondering if they have maybe changed the material to a less flexible plastic and the new longer slot design is to combat the lower flexibility... Either way its definitely less satisfying to build with imo.

This is the problem I have with many of the supercar models. They all feel the same under the bodywork.

Yeah definitely true, but I just love the look of the finished cars as display pieces.
