That's the plan

I have a few sets tucked away but not as many as I’d like. I will probably add a few Defender kits but the ones which will hold the most value are all £300+ new

Fogwarts school of Snitchcraft and Lizardry.


Family lockdown build started last week of April and has occupied our dinning table for over a month. Some bits are so fiddly that we lost interest for a few days. Without numbered bags a fair ammount of time was spent hunting parts (good job for the family's younger eyes) but it's not like we were in a hurry.

Near the end started to struggle with a shortfall of some parts but it's 99.5% complete and nothing irreplaceable was missing.

All the nanofigs are funky and I'm now going to try and track down figures to add in for Hagrid and maybe Grawp (a whole load of trees are in my aliexpress basket for a forbidden forest extention...)

Completely underestimated the size, it's insane. Probably going to need it's own bookcase or something when evicted from the kitchen.

Is that a Lego knock off one?

Yes I'm pretty sure it's a Lele "Justice Magician" £125 from Aliepress which wasn't the version I thought I was getting but take your chances on Ali. There's better versions out there from the likes of "King" with numbered bags and reportedly better QC for a touch more.

It does violate my previous tenuous policy of not buying direct ripoffs of Lego designs, but I wanted something the kids could enjoy messing with and the cats could jump on without getting stressed about the cost.

I ordered the Creator pirate ship at about 10am Monday - from the Lego store online to get the free Hot Rod recreation. The original Model Team Hot Rod remains one of my favourite sets.

6 week back order for the pirate ship though, quite amazing when it’s in stock everywhere else! They’d better make sure I get my Hot Rod...

Lying fucks, both of us WFH and the doorbell never went

Ordered the Ducati on 1st June, now back ordered till 1st July

Has anyone picked up a Lambo yet?

It's on my purchase order but until we're back in the office they won't open the orders. I won't be back in the office until at least Nov.

Sorry, but that’s quite funny, the one time you need something to do...

My addiction needs feeding, I have about £600 worth building up in the order already, and I'm worried some of them will drop out of production before they open the staff orders again #firstworldproblems

You’ve saved how much over the years? Might be worth taking a hit on a few key sets now, you’ll still be well up on the deal.

I daren't work out what I've spent tbh, but the stuff in my current list would cost close to a grand at RRP so I'll take my chances on waiting

Batmobile
Lambo
Ducati
Boba Fett bust
Fiat500

My Ducati arrived on cue. That's this weekend sorted.

Quite tempted to try one of the £25 aliexpress fiat 500s to be honest.

I've ordered the £25 knock off Caterham, compared to the price of genuine Lego ones you can't fall off.

Good looking DMC

Did anybody catch the Lego house walkthrough yesterday? Live on Facebook every Thursday 3.30pm GMT.

Boys watched it and were very excited.
