    This might have changed since I last tried, but last time I went to use all my points in one go, the site was charging me for shipped as my actual spend was less than their threshold for free shipping.

    I thought that would be the case too, but I went as far as the checkout with my existing points and it still seemed to be applying the free shipping - so looks like (hopefully) they have changed it. I'll confirm when these VIP points are added and I pull the trigger :)

    Mind posting pics when you install them?

    Didn't install some of the lights for the diner as they're flashing LEDS and we want to use the sets as a lamp of sorts. :)

    Enough bandwidth to bore a hole through both buildings and slag everyone therein :)

    Never mind the wifi, it looks like there is a growhouse in the top floor of the restaurant...

    That bit actually photographs very badly... The leds are behind the seashells in the roof and make them glow beautifully.

    TBH, I'm far happier with the light kit for the restaurant than the café. While it suits the 50's Diner theme, there's an excess of light IMO, and I particularly dislike the flashing LEDs. I prefer the more muted / natural look of the restaurant scene and suspect that lighting kits for some of the other sets e.g. the Brick Bank / Town Hall etc are more likely to fit with that aesthetic.

    My three year old dragged this out from under the bed in the spare room last week and said “Daddy, Mammy got this for your birthday, is it your birthday today?”

    It wasn’t.

    Built this over the weekend. I don’t know what it is about Lego but I always look at sets and think they look great, but you can’t appreciate them at all until you build them and see the thought process behind how they go together. This set is mind blowing in terms of detail and cleverness. Highly recommend it.

    Just got the best belated birthday present, the new Porsche 911 RSR! Can't wait to build it and display beside the GT3 RS. I didn't even know it was being released and had to find out by Google it was only released yesterday.

    I’ve been on the fence with the GT3 but running out of storage space for something that size. I see they’ve announced 2 more architecture skyline sets, San Fran and Paris, to be released New Year’s Day tho, so I’ve something to keep me busy!

    My house is an option :).

    I saw the new Porsche I'm Smyth's today, I didn't realise it was a one model set. No 2in1 on the box and no b model shown on the back. A little disappointed with that.

    Anyone notice 90% of lego city sets seem to have a helicopter, what the hell is legos obsession with helicopters, I'm saying this because my young lads birthday is coming up and he loves lego city, he got 2 large sets for Xmas both of which had a bloody helicopter in it and his bedroom is like a private airport at this stage, I was gonna get him the hospital but guess what there's a bloody helicopter in it, I think I'm just gonna have to get him the mining set... Not a chopper to be seen

    Don't forget Planes too, I stocked 3 sets at Xmas all had nearly identical looking planes, I think Lego city lads are just lazy and out of ideas.
