Day 1, but that Baron Harkonnen minifig is so funny.

Do we think the ornithopter will be available in general stores? Thinking I could probably save a few quid by not ordering it from Lego directly.

I think it's supposed to be an ammonite isn't it?

edit: oh having visited the NHM I think I know what it is - this slice of a sequoia.

Got the London Postcard set but the stickers sheet is all crumpled up - will Lego replace it?

Have you seen the other videos on his channel? His main city build is insane:

Seeing that X-Men set makes me wonder - has anyone made an X-COM: Enemy Unknown MOC?

I had (still have, in a box at my mum's house) a few sets from the Ice Planet series - from memory, a couple of 6814s, and one each of 6834 and 6879 - I dreamed about having the base set (6983) with the magnetic rockets and extras vehicles and all those translucent orange parts - the white/blue/orange colour scheme still looks so good.

Bit disappointing to find it's not a model of the ship(s) from Interstellar (2014), but I do like that they've got the classic Lego Space logo on one of the pieces.

I've decided to stop buying new lego and build out what I can from my childhood. Starting with what I recall as my absolute favorite set. My first expert builder set as well. 857 Motor Bike.

...



Oh wow, those photos solve a mystery I've had for more than 25 years - as a child we bought a bag of second hand parts, including those giant wheels, and I always wondered why there was only three of them.

The class 08 looks great as well, though the Pannier should really be in GWR green.

I've had a shipping notification for my ornithopter, though it has to come all the way from Belgium to the UK. I was right next to the Leicester Square Lego store this evening so I possibly could have picked one up in person.

Well that was a fun build. I'll post some pictures tomorrow when I can pose it outside but it's also a chunky build - the core is very solid but the landing gears seem to hold it up well. The wing flapping movement perhaps doesn't flap them as much as I would like but they look great extended and retracted (which is how I will have to display it due to the 70cm wingspan).

edit: oh, and no stickers! only three printed pieces as well, excluding minifigs

I still kick myself I never got the original Technic Droideka, a shame this one seems less complex and adjustable.

Looks pretty cool.

It's very cute if you imagine the knobs are its eyes and the little black slot below them is its mouth :3:
