The Tumbler and Keaton Batmobile are pretty cool 😎

Having a clear out of my sons bedroom and found a new in box, sealed unopened bagged 75055 Imperial Star Destroyer.

The box is bashed a bit and split in corner and I've broken the seal on box to make sure its all there.

They seem to be worth £250+ but before i hit ebay does anyone on here fancy it for £160 including postage ?

I started watching his YT channel a while back but I got tired of the constant moving the city around. He spends a fortune on Lego :shock:

Virtually all of the stuff visible in that TikTok is from within the last couple of years.

I wouldn’t want to have a room which looks like that in my house anyway.

As much as a fan of lego as I am, I couldn't help thinking that's several steps too far.

I expect he funds most of it via the social media channels now, he cashed in a few years back and had a wad to spend by all accounts. He's quite annoying tbh, everything is super awesome.

My little room is a little OTT but that basement is a full time job.

This week has been like a shit episode of Last of the Summer Wine. Just when I'm getting a few weeks of running under my belt post-covid, I broke some ribs by falling over in the airport car park. Rock and fucking roll.

So today I think I'll take a drive and buy a Lego set to keep me amused for the next while as I can't even walk the dogs. Not sure what to go for though... quite liked the look of the Mandalorian one, or any of the Batmobile ones and still haven't got the Ecto 1.... It does mean having to brave the shops though...
Cheers,

Mike.

They're all good but yeah, brave heading anywhere near shops this weekend 😆

Lego is great therapy, more so when it's cold and miserable outside.

Just back from Smyths toy shop. The car park is usually horrendous at the best of times as it's shared with an Aldi, so was reluctant to go, but the roads were empty on the way and managed to get a space straight away when I arrived. Maybe people are avoiding the shops?

2023 Modular was announced in the week (Jazz Club), in case any one missed it. I've grabbed the last few sets so I feel obliged to get this one too. Looks decent.

Initial thoughts on that
- wow, that is a lot of lego
- the camera movement makes me queasy
- how long does it take to dust all those shelves

The big Razor Crest has arrived and I might have been on eBay bidding on a Tumbler, Ecto-1 and a Delorean. As I said on another thread, whisky & painkillers is a heady cocktail.

Still not finished the marauder I started months ago, like others, it is the space to have stuff made up and out that is the problem.

I've been wondering about this... I can probably get some more shelves up in the study/office but need something a bit more permanent. Maybe some shelving unit...

We have the UCS Razer Crest at the office, it's flippin' huge. Very cool set all the same. A few decent Perspex mounts put it at an angle that helps too.

I got the Shelby Mustang for crimbo from my in-laws

Lovely model and the pull back and go AR stuff is a nice addition.

Now need to put up another shelf to accomodate it but that means i'll need more lego to fill it :D :D :D

Nice! I didn't even know these were a thing but will order one for it which should help.

Secondhand Lego... I got a good saving on Ecto-1 but just having one big box with EVERY SINGLE BLOCK, unsorted... its been a VERY long day so far...

Sorting Lego bulk/pre owned is quite theraapeutic if you're in the mood, but it does swallow hours if you're not careful :lol:

i built "The Office US" diaorama set yesterday, for what's basically an office and loads of stickers, if you have any afinity to the show the result is pretty cool.
