Lego WANT of the Day

Just found out that the Artemis set exists. So now I really want that. God knows where I’ll put it tho. Already have the Saturn V, ISS, Apollo 11 and Discovery.

I’d also buy this if it ever comes out – https://ideas.lego.com/projects/10a3239f-4562-4d23-ba8e-f4fc94eef5c7

My son was never into Lego as a young kid, but seems to be keen now at 13. Anything to keep him off screens!

This was a present from him to mum, whose favourite animal is the giraffe. They had fun making it together.

Just picked up the Dune ornithopter for £105 in John Lewis, that’s £45 off.

Not a bad few hours.

Does the heli have a working swash plate?

Morning, has anyone built the Disney Stitch set 43249?

It does. It’s battery powered so has a working winch, blades and retractable undercarriage.

The cowling at the front slides forward to allow you to see the MRH working, standard sliding doors, etc.

I’m toying with the idea of a lighting kit for it.

I posted this elsewhere on STW earlier, but I bought a flego Yamaha bike and lighting kit from https://joooooy.com/ .  The light kit was excellent, I’d recommend.

How a bout a Turing engine?

That Turing engine looks wonderful.

Doesn’t it!

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.

This. 100%.

I’m currently about 2/3rd of the way through Diagon Alley and have got to thinking. If I wanted to design my own model of eg my house and garden, is there an app or something similar that I could do this with. I’d like it to have the ability to let me design and create the model, hopefully step by step. To know how many of each type of brick I’d need would be really useful too.

And as above, isn’t Endurance just SO good!

@Ambrose , yes I think off the lego website there is a design tool.

My friend uses it for all his designs: https://www.instagram.com/minimodularguy/

Oh the Endurance is fantastic, love that.

No1 Son just won this!

Hah, took me a minute, that’s pretty cool

Im torn between the Artemis set or Endurance set as my new years eve set

Oh man, that’s the first time I’ve seen the Endurance… now I really need something I didn’t know existed.

But with a huge backlog of sets to build, and absolutely no space for an 80cm wide display, it’s probably not going to happen (ie I’ll get one on sale and put it away with the others).

Just seen the moon buggy, that is now in the list. Double points this weekend for Lego insider members and a few free gifts.

Move over, UCS

Only 55,000pcs.

That is pretty magnificent tbh.

Woah, that’s a helluva build.

I wonder what the interiors are like?

That’s a good question. Let me see if I still have the source.

Links to Flickr / Insta in the video text. The short answer is it’s largely structural with a few ‘hero’ sections.

Lego Concorde down to £117 at Argos.

As a new customer you can get 8% cashback via TCB and using vouchers from workplace discount schemes save another 6% which makes it £100!

Lego Star Wars Venator is down to £373 which through similar shenanigans can be had for £320.

Endurance is why I am always fearful of opening this thread.  It looks fantastic

The submarine on the shelf above the falcon looks really cool too.

Lego Space shuttle is available for £135 today through Lego Insiders and you can also get 20% cashback through topcashback.

£108 including free shipping by maths.

Took a punt on an AliExpress set.

Instructions were a little on the small side for my eyes at times but at £21 delivered I have no complaints.

That’s a lot of not Lego for £21

My set was £17.something plus tax.

A little over £18 (+tax) at the moment.

I just found this on AliExpress:

￡46.11 | 1642PCS Technical F1 W14 E Performance Speed Car Building Blocks Brick Compatible 42171 Vehicle Model DIY Toys Gift Children Kid

https://a.aliexpress.com/_ExC8nUU

Ignore that £46.11

My better half has ordered the Endurance after we watched the excellent documentary… should be a fun build over Christmas (currently on back order until 9/12). We went to the brickfest in Gloucester a couple of weeks ago. It was nowhere near as good as the massive one they do in Swindon, but still had a few interesting displays.

Some of the 2nd hand stuff tho (built once, now out of production) was mad money. Star wars esp.  Big star cruiser was £750!

Reposting this from 8 months ago with a price drop:

Selling my Liebherr R 9800 (42100) for £225 plus P&P (or can drop off local to West Cheshire). Bought it from neilforrow of this parish back on page 27 of this thread and it’s been sitting on the study floor since then. Mrs S has said time to move it on. Message me if interested.

Hhhnnnnnnn want it want it…. sadly can’t.

Uhhnnnnn very tempting, also west cheshire… maybe in the new year!
