It's not £120, it's £179.
I'm tempted.
My boys also got a hefty bounty of more Lego for Christmas. I take great pleasure in assisting with the building.
Ah damn, I was just converting to 200usd to gbp
I am most definitely going to get it
First pic of a Simpsons set
I want this set so bad!
I can't believe the price they're asking though....Tempted to make the most of my money by buying more of other Lego I want.

The conversion is a joke tbh. I would consider £120 for the set, but £180 no chance. Will just find out when family/friends go to america and they can pick me one up cheap.
About to pull the trigger on Jabbas palace and the rancor pit. Both have come down a bit this week and I think both were over priced for what they were.
Couple more months and then I get my share dividend, then that Death Star is all mine, er I mean my sons

Finished a few more frames.
Look great! I need to decide how to store all mine.
I've been trying to find a decently priced display case for my SSD - but because of how long it is I am really struggling...
This is the more reasonable thing I could find but it's a bit meh:

Here's my bolt-action rifle- it shoots lego blocks
Mag out, bolt pulled

Did you use some online instructions? And how is the structural integrity of it? I remember seeing a guy on YouTube years ago recreating loads of real weapons with Lego and rubber bands.

The instructions for the rifle are n a book called "Lego heavy Weapons" by Jack Streat- you can find it on amazon. He's a bit of a genius- the bolt action mechanism is a thing of beauty.
It's solid enough! It shoots blocks about 4 or 5 metres and is reasonably accurate.

How do you secure the figures inside the frame? Are they glued to the little bases they are stood on?

The bases are 2x2 sloped white lego blocks. They are glued to the backing card and then the figures are just mounted on those.
Once I move house and get some time to relax later this month I'm thinking of treating myself to some Lego. What's the best value kit around at the moment for under £100? I've got the Technic F1 car which, given its size, was great VFM.
Either that or a few cheaper kits. Anything on offer?
