I wasn’t initially too fussed about The Mandalorian N1 Star Fighter UCS kit, but revealed yesterday, it looks really good:

Expensive for the piece count and the bottom could be better, but nice nonetheless.
Lighting kit looks good @daffy
I finished the Enterprise 1701-D a couple of weeks ago. It was a fun build. Next up the Type 15 shuttle pod.
Been waiting for a Mando UCS N1. Theres a few instructions out there but they are difficult to build and contain at least one ludicrously priced part. Be out for my birthday.
Clearing my mums house and went through my box of old lego, to get a few sets build so they could come home with me.
First castle and first x-wing
Oddly appropriate.
I have pre-ordered it before I realised just how big it is going to be.... It's going to be amazing but I'm really entirely sure where I'm going to put the finished model
MrsMC has said the price seems quite reasonable. And I've made sure my Lego mad adult kids know it is out in time for Fathers Day.
Phwoar. I’ve got the 911, Chiron and Ferrari form this series already. Been struggling to justify buying another after the first two (the Ferrari was a gift) but I really want this.
I'll wait for the Chinese version at an 1/8 the price.

Whilst I'll acknowledge that a lot of Lego's licenced stuff does seem rather expensive for what you get, the widespread willingness to wait for IP to be stolen in the race to the bottom will do nothing to inspire creativity in the long term.
That's true but I'm not sure who is losing out. I'm never going to spend £400 on the official Lego version even if it was the only option and that's probably true for the majority of people who'd consider the knock off.

There are outliers (in both directions), but they're not significantly different from non-licensed models IME. My mental rule of thumb is 10p/brick, this is £400 for over 42k bricks so is on the cheaper side.
I strongly believe that a recreation of PS Waverley is long overdue

Noice. I've made the mistake of trying to sell some sets on Marketplace, and I thought car tyre kickers were bad. 😂
I'll be going to see this:

I've just been given the Endurance for my 50th. It looks amazing.
Now, do i make a start tonight and be up until 03.00 working on it, or resist .....
Oddly appropriate.

This….
It was a fun build and quite effective, but the finished article is really tall! Won’t fit neatly anywhere on my office shelves.

That's a few levels up from a 1989 Lego Pirate ship!
It’s a nice display piece, but not a great build. There’s only really 4 colours and the whole thing is pretty much symmetric down the keel and even fore>aft in some respects.
It all goes together well enough and is very sturdy, but little in the build is interesting from a new techniques point of view.
The sails and rigging are definitely better than the old pirate ships.
Building this has convinced me that I wouldn’t enjoy the Titanic kit.

I always wondered about this with some of the architectural builds. Like, it's interesting as a place I'm sure, but how would you make the Colosseum build exiting? The Saturn V is a great model, an interesting build and has some really fun techniques, but by Stage IV you see instructions like "x96" and just want to cry.

Yeah, I bought a fully built titanic (much cheapness!) and took it apart to rebuild. I was involved in a couple of long Teams meetings at the time, so I know it took about 6 hours to pull it apart while trying to look interested (got blisters on my thumbs!).
The rebuild started well at the bow* but the middle bits were a bit samey. Got proper bored by the end though, and while it's a fantastic piece of kit in it's finished form, I wouldn't do it again.
*Ok, so I made a mistake at the start - the very first instruction is to use a 8x2 flat black piece with holes in. I used a 8x2 flat black piece without 'oles. This became very relevant when, after 3 instruction books and about 1100 steps I found I'd used the wrong piece, which was the mounting point for one of the supports that holds up the entire model. A substantial amount of disassembly was required and child #3 learned some new words.
Birthday icons 911. To go with (ahem) a significant birthday 911. The Lego version is two models older than the other one. Would have liked it in grey not white. Will post when built.
The new LEGO Star Wars - Super Star Destroyer has finally been announced for release on October 1st. And unlike the last one, this one actually has a finished bottom!
£649 of your English pounds!
Apart from the ottom though it does look remarkably like the other one I've already got which is pretty good. Would rather have something new like an Acclimator or an Arquitens class cruiser or even a Gozanti transport ship.

Well eventually I put a new shelf in just to put this model on
sold. Its close match to my 1st Endurace that was murdered by an audi driver and is now reduced to turbo duties.
i have 20quids worth of points so this, a wall mount and some canyon stickers will be ordered.
