Now need to be the (retiring soon) Elf Club House ready for next Christmas.
Love those Volvos! I got the McLaren F1 for Christmas which is now built, currently disassembling a Zetros truck MOC Jeep, to rebuild the original… 😁
Not played with Lego in the last 50 years and just got a Porsche race car with free with 4 crossclimate tyres.

Those volvos are ace...
Perhaps someone on here can help. I have a couple of the technics vehicle kits. I would like a motor and a bunch of basic pieces and some gears and shafts so I can make my own vehicles and power them. I cannot find such a thing as a mixed box of technics bits anywhere. any clues?
@tracey : just a technicality - we don’t ‘play’ with Lego, we build amazing engineering construction projects 😉😁😂
Ada, my dog, very much wanted to play with the AT-AT, she was play bowing at it and doing all she could to try and get it to run after her 🙂

Bricklink lets you order pieces individually from a market place. You need to know the parts you want.
you can create a wish list then the website finds the parts and creates an order from multiple sellers.
Went into Lego store Leicester Square a few beers in yesterday with my family (kicking out time at 10pm). Phew that was close, nearly cost me a few quid…
Wow, that's stunning!
Just finished the Ferrari Daytona SP3, and while there are some cool bits (the doors) it’s not as robust, for want of a better word, as the other big car models (Lambo, 911, Bugatti) to the point that you have to be pretty careful picking it up as to not inadvertently knock of a part that then takes ages to reattach. Looks better in the brick flesh than in pics though IMO

Excellent! Much better than all this Star Wars guff 😉 My fave "little ship" design of all-time, I think.
That Lake District build is awesome.
Love it.
Though <nerd>reboot-era Starbuck would be highly unlikely to be anywhere near a Mk1 Viper...</nerd>

Agreed. I do have some minifgure bits for an original Starbuck or Apollo on order.
My wee boy returned from my mum's with my old technic. It's missing some bits and had some Duplo additions but it's being played with alongside the modern kit (and shredded paper and Playmobil).
I have zero interest in Lego so I don't know if this has been already posted but it might interest someone who can get to the Horniman Museum:

Thought some of you might like this. My mate designs miniatures of several large sets.

An admirable attempt, with the driver trying to draw profanities in the snow…
But alas…
Good attempt but my Jack Russell dragging his balls through the snow could have done better
https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/land-rover-classic-defender-90-10317
I wonder if you could extend it to make it a 110?
Am sure it could be extended.
£210 is a lot though
I want the landrover but also want the mew X-wing that launches in May
I think the classic Defender looks better than the newer one. I saw it in the LEGO store on Wednesday. Nice. The Ford GT40 looked good too.
Not too happy about the next UCS Star Wars set being the X-Wing for the 3rd time.
Im not happy about the X wing either, the last one was pretty good, a Tie Bomber would have been much better, or a Mandalorian shuttle, or a tie interceptor, or a UCS N1 Mando star fighter, loads of other options really.
Ferrari Daytona dismantled, time to start this! Looks so much better than the Daytona. Mind you my fingers and thumbs are sore after about 4 hours of pulling it apart!

Dual set coming out in May I think with a tie interceptor and a Mandalorian fighter of some description. The interceptor looks really good for a non UCS set.
Used to love the Lego Castle sets as a kid. Saw this bad boy in the Lego shop last weekend. Would love it but really can't justify the £350 cost!

That’s cool.
A fanciful purchase, loved building it.

Go and watch the BBC documentary on Hubble for some extra Shuttle / Hubble romance. Lego model is indeed a beaut.

The Lego Technic Peugeot 24hr Le Mans set has just turned up...fun weekend ahead with my boy to complete that.
Be interested in that, Costco have them reduced I think
The Peugeot is £110 at amazon at the moment...
And Very it seems.
That's more money than I ever thought I'd spend on a Citroen 🤪.
I really shouldn't look at this thread when I have a bit of spare money. Relapsed Mandalorian has cost me £170 though I do have a nice space shuttle now.
How do people display their models? I have a couple of the technics ultimate car models (911 and Chiron) and now the shuttle. They occupy any spare flat space I can find in the house and eventually I'm going to run out. I'd like to get the other ultimate car models, just not sure where I'd put them!
I have the 911 hung on the wall from the picture rail. There are lots of wall mounts for them on eBay. I have 5 of the large cars now and am planning to make a large track out of 1x1 and 1x2 plate on a wall then attached all of them to that.
A wall mount is an interesting idea, I'd not thought of that. I've seen a few display boxes but they would just seem to make a big model even bigger which isn't ideal.
My biggest issue with Lego was never displaying the models, it was dusting the bastards.
Colleague of mine has just got a lego tattoo... He's a bit keen on lego.
I'm a bit keen on Lego, lucky I don't like tattoos.
OK, this isn't Lego. But it's Lego-adjacent, probably not worth its own thread and too cool not to share.

That’s a definite purchase
Yup.
I've been on the real one (in a museum). That model is just about full size. 😁
Decent price for 2000+ bricks too.
I’ve been on a real one. No museums involved 😎
Definitely buying that
How are people displaying their Lego?
I have the Space Shuttle and really fancy Concorde but, the damn things are huge and we don't have flat space to put them anywhere.
At the moment the Shuttle is on a shelf in a cupboard!
Both air models, so could suspend them from the ceiling I suppose 😀
I've also been on a Concorde, and not in a museum. It was on the ground, unfortunately. But I got to go in the cockpit 🙂
And that model is looking like a likely birthday present to me, next month.
Anyone looking for a job?

Not sure what i was expecting the wage to be, but 23k doesnt seem enough?!
Having been to the hell hole that is Lego Discovery Manchester, I'd want that salary increased by at least a factor of ten.
It's not a building Lego job, it's a kids entertainment job which involves Lego. And last time we went it wasn't in great shape.
We’ve just started displaying the Lego advent calendars. Sold about 20 on Saturday afternoon.
Garden Centre, not a toy shop.
Concorde en route Been looking forward to this for a while
Been wanting this for ages, aliexpress kit just arrived, bought a copy of the plans from the designer as he doesn't get anything from the manufacturers. Apologies as ever for knockoffs but if I could get it from Lego I would.

Concorde en route. Been looking forward to this for a while
I'm going to wait for the second version to come out. Concorde Mach 2 if you like.
Ba dum Tiss..
Concorde is build now to figure out where to put it
My office.
Concord in da house too.
Bought as a pressie for no51Jnr. Actually looking forward to a rainy weekend….
Weirdly Lego seem to have dropped a Shuttle in the box by mistake too. *Cough.
Would love the concorde, but it is massive!
