My guess it'll end up like the other American cars and be 30% off at some point.

Got some money for Christmas so got the Technic Ducati - interesting build
Daughter got loads of Minecraft and Lego Friends sets so had fun building and ‘playing’

I bought my son the Peugeot lemans car for Christmas (https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/peugeot-9x8-24h-le-mans-hybrid-hypercar-42156) . A decent little build without the complexity of the Bugatti. For the first time ever he was missing a piece (one of the 1x 9 hole lift arms). Luckily we could borrow it from another model so he could continue whilst we order another as a replacement.
I bought the Camaro instead as it is on sale now, I'll get the Corvette later.
I don't have much Lego at all, but I'm posting more here due to some policy changes. I got the Great Wave as an Xmas present, was only £52.50 at Argos before Xmas, or £90 at John Lewis, so I made sure it was the cheaper option. Really nice set but has so many similar tiny pieces, also it's quite 3D due to using tiny birds as wave crests, a very clever idea but I think I'd have preferred more solid, flat pieces, as dusting it could easily send some white plant fronds and birds flying which is what makes up much of the wave texture.
Also the boats are not that distinct from the waves compared to the original artwork or that well realised, but they did a great job on the wave elements overall. You couldn't frame this unless you had a box frame due to how much it protrudes on the wave crests, though the included frame is excellent if a little prone to pieces dropping. It does include picture hook frames at the back so you could hang it as is. Temporarily losing parts of this is a nightmare and dropping it as a whole might never see it being fully put back together again due to lost pieces. I'll possibly even glue parts of it it for a long term artwork being hung up.
Also got the mini Slave 1, Boba Fett's ship, which is great for such a small set, always wanted the original Star Wars toy version of it as a kid, no room for large Lego vehicles and not a big a fan of the giant sets either. This mini version is really great as a tiny set, the great wave sky looks a bit like Bespin too.
Also goes great with the few other Lego sets I have to make a nice little Empire Strikes Back shelf set which I think would be great as a full release if they added a Darth Vader vehicle set to it. I know there many more of these mini Star Wars sets but they are on timed release, so will pick one up if they re-release a set.

I was in the lego store yesterday, I didn’t fancy anything but I was wanting to get the mosaic maker done just for something different but the machine was knackered.
Anyone ordered one online?

Some nice details on there still considering the scale. a lot less dominating then the large scale set for displaying if you don't have space and doesn't look too compromised like some of the smaller versions can.

It was a good one to build, really enjoyed it
Sods law the light kit turned up so now have Tom partially dismantle to fit the lights !
They are much easier to install once the build is complete and just a bit of a fiddle to deconstruct a bit.
