I just saw this, and I can't help but feel it's overpriced extravagance for 1200 blocks. But, [i][b][u]I want it[/u][/b][/i].

A mate is curator or organiser or something to do with it.
This was one of my favourites when I was a kid. I saved my birthday, Christmas and paper round money for what seemed like an eternity. It didn't disappoint.
Fixed your link. I coveted that also.
I was a pirate Lego man myself. Or rather my brother had the pirate stuff and me the soldiers. I re-bought most of it a few years ago between contracts and we finally had our 'battle royale' in my mum's swimming pool. Our other halves and even my children looked on in strict contempt... 😀
I don't really get the attraction of lego but I just saw this and thought it might be of interest to folks on here:

brilliant lego technic for clearing up lego 🙂
Right, thanks to you ne'er-do-wells and your tales of Amazon discounts I'm now the proud owner of a 42050 Drag Racer and a 42037 Formula Off-Roader. Ordered on Saturday morning and delivered today, which will go nicely with my 8417 Superbike 😀
Who needs Lego shuttles? It's all about spaceships, surely?

SPACESHIP!!
I want that so very badly.
😆 Spaceship.
this is true, it's good to see them using old stuff in a new way, but my son's kits seem to have a [i]lot[/i] of bespoke parts. Having said that he's only got a few kits and it's been a long time since my own childhood so I guess these "bespoke" parts may be fairly common across the modern range.What is very common these days is innovative & imaginative building techniques

And as the father of two daughters, I find the gendered nature of the kits - all pink and princesses - to be a bit depressing. Though I note that my girls have much more fun with the bog standard bricks than they do with the kits.
The "girly" kits are a relatively new thing. I gather that Lego were quite open when they were introduced that it was because their existing ranges weren't selling to girls very well that they introduced such obviously gendered kits.

This is a great book. Written by the guy who designed the Lego Ideas Exo Suit.
Introduced the grand daughter to Lego via the Doc McStuffins kid's TV show spin-offs.
That was a year ago at two - she still kisses all the characters goodnight and puts them to bed.
She'll happily play with her six year old nephew's Star Wars, Creator and City stuff, but the cute characters she recognised from TV played a big part in attracting her attention in the first place.
Technics soon.
