Lego WANT of the Day

Latest addition:

And as part of the fleet (the ones that’re currently built anyway):

I built this MOC from Je_Brickworks

<script async src=”//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>

And this one from IBrickedItUp

<script async src=”//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>

Built this one before Christmas.

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?

Have you looked here

Build this at new year.

@tracey : just a technicality – we don’t ‘play’ with Lego, we build amazing engineering construction projects 😉😁😂

When I was 5 that would have been a mouthful 😃

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 🙂

@Mikkel Just for Ada.

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…

Model of the Lake district anyone?

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

Colonial Viper from rebrickable

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.

👍 so say we all.

ION – road trip?

Bricktastic, the UK’s largest LEGO event is back for 2023!

Or,

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.

Big job on…

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!

You could always try a mini version.
