That DB5 is gopping (at least from the windscreen backwards), it's closer in looks to the car Homer designed than the real thing.
As someone who owned a ‘4, that is an awful, boxy version of a beautiful car. Just no.
Holy thread resurrection, Batman!

OMG.
Yep. It’s on the list.
Yep on my list too
It that the same as has been out for a while, just with 50th anniversary stuff? Son got that years ago. It's an impressive model.
I have 3 of the Lego modular buildings (cinema, brick bank and market square) and have space for one more. Anyone got the detectives office or pet store that they'd consider selling for a not insane amount to save me going down the Lepin/other knock off route?
Sheffield Bricktropolis this year is on the theme of space. It’ll include a 2.8m Saturn V rocket! Think I’ll be taking a wander round the city at some point and do my bit for Sheffield BID.
How was I not aware of Bricktropolis? Doing that for sure, cheers.
Ref Lunar Lander it’s not on my list, it’s in my house... the one positive of s trip to Meadowhall.
Happy Father’s Day!
Lunar lander already at home as well. Wasn't going to miss that.
I hate this forum. Five minutes ago I had no idea that lunar lander model even existed. Now I have no option but to spend 85 quid or my life will be empty.
Similar thing happened with the Saturn 5 a couple of years back.
Yep looks awesome, sadly was already on back-order by the time I bought it! 😭 Will look great with the Saturn V though when it eventually turns up!
Make sure you sign up for a Lego VIP card to get points, plus 6% cash back from Quidco. Also if you buy it this week you’ll get a free Rocket Ride model which if you don’t want it is going for around £20 on eBay at the moment!
Mrs was encouraged to buy a placcy bag in Meadowhall to qualify for freebie Rocket Ride which is a quality little model that a couple of my kids built last night. Like Kennyp I had no idea about this thing until yesterday morning but had to have it in conjunction with Saturn V.
Fingers crossed on Eagle arriving for Fathers Day.
Annoying I missed the rocket ride.
Harleys eh? Shit in all formats.
😆
Will I turn into a man bun wearing, tattooed hipster like the bloke in the pics if I get it?
Not saying I’m in or out either way, would just be good to know.
Not particularly a fan of Harleys or bikes in general, that model is incredible though so I'll probably end up getting it if I see it discounted. Not only does it look great, the moving pistons are done much better than I've ever seen in a technic set (and they are totally hidden once the building work is done 😂) Great review here https://www.brothers-brick.com/2019/07/09/going-full-throttle-with-lego-creator-expert-10269-harley-davidson-fat-boy-review/
On the Lego shop page, what's the orange thingy on the ground beside the bike on the first picture?
The orange thing is a brick separating tool... Saves your fingernails!
That Harley has gone too far for me. It doesn't actually look like Lego.
I think this is tremendous:

I wish they'd put that sort of effort into an original Fireblade, or R1, or GSXR1000 or pretty much any Ducati. I'd be all over that!
I’ve resisted for a month but just cracked on the lunar lander. I put an axe through my left index finger last Saturday so riding is off for the summer and I can do this with the kids.
OMFG. I am getting this.

Monster truck. Tick.
Yellow. Tick.
Remote control. Tick.
Mobile app. Tick.
Can be bought for the kids but built by me. Tick.
... and this one out in October is amazing, though I don't think I want is as it's sooo big and not enough of a toy.
It's cool. The price though!! (says the guy who spent nearly £300 on the Roller Coaster 😂) Just read a review, the app features etc sound well implemented. The performance is not as good as some of the fan-built rock crawlers I've seen (some of which feature more powerful third party motors/batteries etc) but still not bad, thanks to a new element (lego "purists" who think anything except 2x3 bricks should be banned look away now) which is a hub-mounted planetary gear box that gives it a lot more torque than normal Lego vehicles.OMFG. I am getting this.

That is crazy. I bet it'll sell well though even at the rumoured price of €450. Not for me though, went off Technic years ago.… and this one out in October is amazing, though I don’t think I want is as it’s sooo big and not enough of a toy.
I may need to build a garage in the garden for that liebherr...
I had to stop that Adam Savage video 45 seconds in.
Built this with my Son at the weekend.
I can't afford the silly prices that the genuine, out of production Lego sets are going for on ebay at the moment (£600-800 when they were orginally £370 from Lego) and this came up for £70.
I have to say, bar for 2 missing pieces (I've also had this with a recent genuine Lego kit), the set is of very good quality. As the bags/instructions aren't numbered, building is more of a challenge as there are pieces everywhere, all the time. 16 hours it took us.
Almost 4000 pieces and over 1.35m in length. Now - where to put it...

Daffy - what are the chances of hanging that? I am tempted by the Star Destroyer but all of my other Star Wars stuff in hanging in my Cinema room.
For this one, I'd say pretty good. It's fairly solid when handled and everything is clipped/pinned together. BUT, it's very heavy, especially at the back end. As for the proper 10030 Imperial Star Destroyer (which I also have), I'd say no chance as It's quite fragile and held together by magnets.
There's a new Star Destroyer rumoured to be getting released on September 19th, but also that it'll be close to £600.
are there any movable elements to it Daffy?
I'm normally against non-Lego Lego but at £70 for 4,000 pieces, what's not to like.
Lepin version of the 10030 is what I was thinking, thanks for the info, will avoid that for now.
A part of the centre section can be removed revealing a couple of crew pits inside along with the command walkway. The big Millennium Falcon is slightly better in this regard as there are 3 areas.
in a ****ing skip 😂Now – where to put it
started my X-treme Off Roader (42099) build yesterday.
very exciting.
though I did have to do some unbuilding as one of the gears fell out of a differential box...

A snip at £649.99. Same price as the Falcon, just over half the pieces, 110cm long.
Its got almost 5000 pieces, the Falcon had 7500. Its substantially bigger than the Falcon, so a lot of those 5000 pieces are bigger.
Seems fair to me. I’ll be buying one, but from ebay after someone else has bought, built it, found its waaaay too big to keep and then sold it.
Ill then do the same and sell it.
