Anyone considering it should probably build their own

Here’s another unwise Lego build:

Muppet theatre this week:

Where did you get that from? That's awesome.

[Jobbo]

The theatre is a Friends set from a few years ago which I bought intending to put Muppets in it. And I’ve finally done so. The Muppets were a series of collectible minifigures which again I bought a few years ago. They seem to be madly priced now so I’m glad I did; if you like some Lego buy it before it goes out of production and prices ramp up.

That's a shame (for me). Minifig prices are silly. DJLet2 wanted some star wars ones and they were £10+ each, and nowhere near the most expensive ones either.

[Jobbo]

You had to be canny with what you buy. Most Star Wars minifigures are going to be available in multiple versions and probably included with some sensible priced current sets. Get them in the regular discount sales at Argos or Smyths - generally price-matched by Amazon - and that’s the most cost-effective way.

That's what we've been doing, but for those ones he sweet talked grandma when she took them to a toy shop.

Picked up one of these at the weekend, haven't opened it yet and I'm not expecting Lego levels of inginuity but its a Honda innit

I went to the Lego store to get an upscaled blue spaceman on launch day. Being a Sunday the Birmingham store in the Bullring opened at 11.00am, but I remembered there was another store at the Discovery Centre and that opens earlier. So I had my shopping done in a civilised way before heading over to the Bullring to see the queue

After being amused and going elsewhere, the big queue had dwindled enough for me to go straight in at 11.15. But the mania which leads to the queues outside stores is surely evidence of a bubble. Wonder when it’ll pop?
