Lego WANT of the Day

The Porsche is a nice build. Nearly finished mine now.

Woops, might have just ordered the Porsche. £144 from Tesco at the moment.

Luckily I already have the Porsche 😀 and can confirm it is a very nice build, the double clutch gearbox is a brilliant 'What? Aww cool!' thing.

£144! Must resist........

Back to £180 at Tesco - phew that was close. I get to keep my cash and shelf space for now.

Anyone got their Saturn yet?

John Lewis have been flogging them a bit early..... A colleague has one built already - well jealous.

Oh, it's out? JL are showing out of stock.

I got a £150 voucher for ten years' service at work a couple of weeks back... must see if any of the listed stores carry it.

Yeah JL have sold out. My colleagues box had a sticker on it saying not to be sold until the 1st....

Saturn V live on Lego.com now . Just ordered mine .

It's now on back order , snooze you lose

Yep, backorder for me too, got to wait a week now 😥

Mines in transit

Erm! I may have just bought myself the Saturn V. I just happened to walk past the Leicester Square Lego shop after a post last exam drink.
😳

Nothing wrong with that.
Mine is on back order from the lego website.
Going to try and resist so i can build it with my son in a couple of years when he is old enough

Happened to be in London yesterday for a meeting, luckily plenty in store to pick up.

I wondered if I might save it until Christmas so I can build it with my Dad and Brother, but the temptation may be too strong.

No chance chaps

Holy crap, how big would a lego borg cube have to be?

Should you build one then worrying about the size of it would be the least of your problems.

This forum soooooooo needs a like button.

Blast off! (Well, dispatched last night...)

We need pics!

Houston, we have a problem....

...yodel are the delivery company.

Fear that it may burn up on re-entry.

Either that or they'll deny it ever happened

😆

The horror...

sure the t-Cut is going to buff this one...[/url]

(hadn't realised how big this thing was, it's only when the guys picks up the back half towards the end that its full size shows up)

Houston, this is tranquillity base. The eagle has landed!

Its pissing down with rain, what better reason to sack off riding and build a rocket this eve 😀

Just a thought, be cool if they did a crawler and launch tower...

Gave in an ordered. On back order until mid July, but that's not a problem.

Biggest problem will be refraining from building it! I'm having a go at 'investing' in Lego.

Owned: GT3, BMW GS (+ quite a few others from childhood)
Want List: Merc Arocs, Claas Tractor

Porsche kept me busy for a week of evenings.

My old landlord does that, buys boxes and boxes of boxes of kits and minifigures, when they are on offer in supermarkets or wherever, waits for them to be discontinued (could be years) then sells them.

You need a [i]LOT[/i] of space to store it, landlord had 2 lockups and a 3 bed house literally almost full of it....

And don't give up the day job...

Where from, Lego directly?

I'm kicking myself for not ordering it from John Lewis when it was in, it didn't occur to me but I've got £150 in gift vouchers that I don't know what to do with and one of the retailers I can use them at is JL.

No real point backordering IME, by the time they are back in stock they'll be plenty judging by previous highly sought after sets e.g. Ghostbusters HQ. Plus there is the outside chance of some kind of promotion before then to get a bit more value out of it.

Oh, I'm not expecting anything massive from it, and I normally always buy Lego to build as I love the stuff. But because of what this is, I feel it may become a proper collectors item once it goes out of production.

Yes, online Lego store. I'm in no rush for it, and certainly not prepared to pay the 200-odd quid that filthy speculators are already asking on Amazon 🙂

Deeerrrr Deeerrrr...... Dun Dunnnnnn

She's finished!

Decent build, bit fiddly in places, but good fun.

That is truly awesome.

How long did the build take?

Couple of evenings, with mstomhoward assisting. As you can imagine, there's a lot of repetition, building x4 of everything, so that was a help.

Going to have to get one of these. It'll go nicely next to the boys City Space Shuttle.

It's back in stock at JL.

And they have one fewer in stock than they did five minutes ago. (-:

Oh yeah, and I used the vouchers I got from work for ten years' service, so it cost me £9.99.

Been more than 40 years since I built anything from Lego, but I so so so much want one of these. The moon landings were one of the earliest things I remember. Made a huge impression on me.

Mentioned it to MrsKenny expecting a "Don't even think about it" response when I mentioned the price. But amazingly she said yes. Now just need to find one in stock somewhere.

Not sure I'd go work somewhere for 10 years for the chance to buy some lego for a tenner, but each to their own...

(-:

I got absolutely zero for my 10th year anniversary, back in January, not even an acknowledgement. I'd have been delighted with a Lego Saturn V.

Squee!

[i]Hello, we're pleased to let you know your order is on its way

Your order xxxxxx is due for delivery by Hermes within 5 working days from the date ordered.
[/i]

Apparently the parcel is 2.48Kg. Surely to gods it's not two kilos of Lego?! Cor.

Pretty much: I carried the box across London, and home from the station.

There's actually nothing inside the box, other than Lego and instructions. Not even any molded plastic trays. Just bags of Lego (yes, I know Lego is molded plastic

Not even any molded plastic trays

What madness is this?!
