Finally got around to building the Republic gunship. ****, she's huge!

A little repetitive to be fair with the 2 wings and sides, but still enjoyable to build.

Probably still one of the most enjoyable builds for me. It’s a shame the scale is all a bit off, but it’s a cool model.

Really enjoying my Ecto-1 build so far. Some really nice details inside too.

I've spent the past few months breaking down and readying for sale 80 or so Lego sets. These ranged from £10 sets to things like the Haunted House. Currently got 17 Speed Champions sets for sale and am pleasantly surprised at the amount some have got to (end tomorrow evening) - 76897 for example is upto £46.

The worrying thing for me I think is even with these sold my Lego app says I still own 80 odd sets.

Out of interest, where do you sell them ? Facebook market, eBay or somewhere more Lego specific ? Have a few unopened technic sets I may consider moving on since they take up so much space.

I’ve just been using eBay. I’ve done all auctions as 99p starting + postage.

Whether I have got good money for them or not I can’t say but it works for me.

Worst way for lego as a seller usually, look at sold prices vs buy it now. I reckon on average 20-30% less.

I always pick up some proper bargains from auction format as a buyer.

As a seller I watch auction format sell way below my buy it now sales on the same items..

Looks like you'll need a bigger display shelf

Bought these today

Spoiler

And finally got around to getting some display units in Ikea

Needs some LED strips but I'll sort that another day. I've another one to be assembled, too and will likely need a few more

It's just sat on top of this unit for the time being, I've another unit yet to be assembled and have to sort out some LED lights for them. Work in progress basically!

Getting there slowly

First time seeing this in the LEGO shop here so I picked it up - used 16,000odd points so ended up costing nothing

I thought Lego Uk was on Spendmore Road?

This seems like a good time to mention our new MM section

https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/community/for-sale-collectibles.188/ Smaller audience compared to ebay though.

My last 9 sets for sale went up last night. Cool though. Would Funko's be allowed in that section?

 

[{SAS}TB]

75360 and 75364 Builds - got Yoda's Jedi Starfighter off my eldest for Christmas and the New Republic E-wing vs. Shin Hati's Starfighter off my wife

Got round to building them over the last few days. Quick and easy builds but a few techniques I hadn't seen or done before and very enjoyable few hours

 

[SaBBz]

Got the Milky Way set for my birthday - looks like a fun build with over 3,000 pieces, and I’ll definitely be hanging it on the wall once it’s done!

 

[ThundyCat]

I think its time.

Been putting the build off far too long.

Keep us updated with build pics! Never got this one in the end, but will probably get the Venator.

 

[xaldub]

Wish I had the space for the AT-AT, ISD, Venator etc .... I built the Titanic just before Christmas, but I'm in the position now where I pretty much have to tear down one model to put up another.
