Properly iconic, I'll be buying that Williams as soon as its available.

Oh hell aye! I'll be pre ordering that asap!

Notice the chunky rear tyres this time too, hopefully I can upgrade the Senna to match.

Oh my, love Red 5. Jimmy will remember me going round the Silverstone museum looking for it. Day 1 purchase.

Oh that’s cool.

We’re doing a charity secret santa at work with a local kids charity, so I’m using it as an excuse to hit the Lego store in town this weekend

Just noticed, if you scroll down that link, the new F1 Technic Ferrari is there too.. if Technic floats your boat. These are pretty big models, great displays.

My son bought this, when it came out, just to get the official Fives clone figure, he built Vader and Fives and the rest is still in the box!

I placed an order for a couple of things today at the Lego Store online (double points, some insider discounts and two free gifts). And spotted that I could pre-order Red 5 so I’ve done that

Happens a lot that, farming sets for the figures. For some reason Clone Troopers are sought after?!

I'm ready to throw the Jaws set in the bin as the front bow section of the boat is as solid as jelly. There's a couple of little pieces which don't quite line up correctly meaning they're under pressure constantly which in turn just makes them keep popping off.

Sounds like a case for “THE KRAGLE”!

I'd forgotten all about that! 100%.

Too many small pieces? Guess you need a bigger boat




I’ll see myself out

I haven't started mine yet, but now I wanna leave it in the sealed box

@jamcg

@KiwiDave I was really enjoying it up to this point! Don't let it put you off. When you're putting the bow together and you get to two small light blue pieces, just don't put them on which should work. As soon as you get to that part, you'll know it.

Are you sure it's put together right? I remember people complaining that the Caterham was a bit fragile and I didn't really notice when building but really it was; it was an Ideas set so wasn't necessarily as robust as Lego's own design. But I've not seen any complaints about the Jaws set. Haven't built mine yet though.

It's No.1 in the physical sales charts (and that's about 1/3 of our sales so far). Rather proud I must admit. Oh, 82k+ concurrent players on Steam at one point too.. huge numbers for a childrens game..

Good things come to those who wait, it's free on Epic games next week (I hope Epic pay a decent amount for these giveaways Barry)

Got one of these for the secret santa thing I’m doing at work.
They had one built in the shop and it looked cute. Already kicking myself that I didn’t buy two

There must be something in it for us yeah, we've updated some Harry Potter titles recently too (3rd party did it for us) which is bringing some lovely revenue

Been watching the Lego imposters games closely too, Horizon getting middling reviews/users.
