I'm selling my UCS y-wing and looking for something to replace it
Oh that’s ace. What’s with the wee roller trap thing?
Ghost trap innit.

Heresy, Lego is for collecting not selling (although my missus has got wind of the second hand value of my loose Lego (£11.6k), that doesn't include the UCS Lego or the lads Lego).
Db5 is a really good build. I think I preferred the mustang though
Probably mentioned already.... but the £650 Millennium Falcon is what I wish I could afford... or fit somewhere once built

You've got 11 grand's worth of Lego BY WEIGHT? Shit the bed.
I got the Aston Martin for my 40th. It's great, love the ejector seat

Well yeah but it's not from either of the two films is it?
Read up three posts from your original question.
No it's worse than that, I've got £11k of catalogued parts, loaded on Brickowl which calculates the current value based on the current prices which vary daily. 102000 parts and counting. That picture back up the thread is actually my loose Lego storage.

You catalogued each brick individually?
I mean... christ, do you want to buy some Lego?
Moreover,
Where do you live and can I come visit when the current crisis passes?
Sweajnr (6) and I built the Chevrolet as a lockdown project. In terms of technic it's only the steering and the engine. It's good value as build, build B model then rebuild A model is a reasonable length of time.
We've also built the cement mixer. A much more technical build but no B model.
I find myself eyeing up the car transporter especially as it's also got the B model but it's a big kit....
Cougar, I'm pretty close, just north of Bacup in Rossendale!
Ooh!
Anyone interested in doing some swappage?
Last year I swapped a Caterham for Merak's Saturn V. It took me most of the year to persuade #1 son to build it with me and he loved it and has asked for more.
Would anyone be interested in swapping a Lunar Lander 10266 for the Saturn V? Or maybe something like the Defender?
Or WHY?
I'm selling my Lego Technic 42043 - Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3245 on eBay if anyone is interested. Absolutely mint, assembled once by an adult (me). Now disassembled, complete with unused stickers, instructions, box etc.

@Rich_s I have a complete boxed Technic Volvo excavator 42053 if that's of interest? Been meaning to ebay it but only to make room for something else
@davosaurusrex
Thanks - I'll speak to him when he's back from school and see if he's up for it. He had mentioned space but I do like the look of the Ovlov.
Cool, let me know. Just remembered it has the motor kit with it which operates the boom and lights, brings the RRPs pretty close together as well I think
if you were ever going to get the UCS millenium falcon - now is time 15% off at john lewis

@slackboy that's not the cheapest it's been lately though, was £520 @ JL when they were running their Lego promotion in Sept. It's been offer loads recently too... I wonder how many have been bought & stashed away as "investments"? Surely too many to actually make it worthwhile? Would love to build it but it's just too big (and expensive even when on offer! 🤣)
but it’s just too big
Fear not.
Although I suspect if I plonked that bad boy in the middle of the lounge Mrs Door may have something to say...
@creakingdoor most of those look a bit meh as it's just a big model unimaginatively displayed but there are a couple where it's been built into a coffee table and also a diorama (hanger scene etc) surround by Stormtrooper minifigs... now they look really cool... 🤔
@zilog6128
I'd want to display it and put some Star Trek mini-figures in there, just to piss off the Universe!
But I won't, because I can't afford a divorce, or the MF come to that!
Credit to HUKD, but ASDA have the Bugatti Technic for £200......no, don't want it.....must...be....strong.....
The Trump one is beautifully observed, right down to the ridiculously long tie. The big complex mocs are amazing but I reckon the small, really constrained ones are more impressive

For 42083, the Chiron? Same on amazon btw
Giuliani is specifically the ‘Four Seasons’ event
Love that Trump figure!
Over lockdown I've built the Falcon and Star Destroyer ... I'm now struggling to hang them! Wow they are big and heavy.
The Falcon has a habit of exploding if not handled carefully and needing a full rebuild. I built a 5ft star destroyer at Christmas but couldn't lift it when complete.
@stumpyjon, what are the boxes you're using for storage?
Visited my mum a few weeks ago, and rescued my Lego collection from the attic. Rebuilt my beloved 8865 and was amazed by just how much easier it is to build if you sort the parts first!
Rebuilt my beloved 8865
I had one of those, regret selling it to my mate.
That Trump figure is genius, so many details in such a simple figure!
The logo, the pot belly, the droopy chin, the hunchback, the overly long time and even the small hands! Bravo 👏
Don't forget the wall.

The key thing is the compartments lift out, much easier to find pieces, tip them out, rummage put them away. The organisers with the fixed dividers area pain.
For big stuff I use the Really Useful Boxes, good secure lid.
Thanks. I've got Really Useful Boxes for other stuff, but none of their dividers/trays looked great for Lego.
The Star Destroyer is very um, grey! I think it should be ok to hang as it has a reasonable center chassis. The Falcon does just fall apart even if you look at it slightly funnily.
*Whispers quietly* Most of my ‘Lego’ is Chinese knock-off.
*Whispers quietly in return* any particular brand you'd recommend?
Slight tangent, but tonight it is our Scout Troop’s Lego speed build competition, but I thought that some of you lot may fancy a go too.
Rules:
1. You can only use 1 mini figure and 20 4x2 bricks.
2. You cannot counterweight them or prop them up with anything else.
3. You have three minutes for each round.
Round 1) How high can you get your mini figure off the table?
Round 2) How wide can you make a bridge with your mini figure on it?
Round 3) How far can you cantilever your mini figure off the side of the table?
For added jeopardy, if your figure falls off you have failed!
Go!

My friend, *sorry, my friend is also interested*
I too have a "friend" who is interested.
