    Bennys Space Squad are difficult to come by, but managed to get the last one in a toy shop I was passing by over the weekend. Going to need more of them to take on all the Storm Troopers.

    Sorted my previous storage issue with an ikea shelf and an LED strip to backlight the buildings. Here’s hoping they end the skyline series now :D

    That looks incredible 11/10

    Cheers - very happy with how it turned out. They are overlapping a bit, hence hoping there's no more, but I'm sure it would take another one or two. I think Washington is rumoured to be up next at some stage this year.

    It's an incredible build, one of my favourites!

    Good timing too as its being or has been retired.

    Went out to Smyth's this evening to pick up Assembly Square, but went 'off-piste' and went for Ninjago City.

    My wife's eye roll was slightly extended when I also picked up Benny's Space Squad on the way to the register :o

    This should keep me busy for a while...

    Bought a bunch of the speed champion car sets, they are pretty cool IMO. Nice level of detail and interesting builds... I would happily pay 5e each more for printed pieces over stickers tho.

    Bought the Chiron last week and it was delivered today, I think I'll hold off on making it until I figure out where I'm going to keep it. the Porsche is just collecting dust in a bedroom.

    I would love to buy this set but alas I simply don’t have the space for it in my apartment...

    ...which means I must try to buy a bigger place. :D Given the state of the Dublin housing market, I’d be doing well to manage a 2 bed terrace in Portlaoise...:(

    I store all my built sets that aren’t in display cases in stackable Wham plastic storage boxes, 32 litre, 45 and 80.

    The standard Roller Coaster model can be split in 2 for moving, I plan to build this so I can split in 3 or 4 and hopefully store in 2 or 3 x 80 litre Wham boxes.

    Over on holidays in the heart of England at the moment. Picked up this nifty little LEGO Creator mini red London bus set for about €14 in London Heathrow. :)

    Ordered the Dragon Boat Race & the HP Knight Bus on Lego S@H, got the free rocket ride and a free HP polybag too.

    I would have preferred the Dragon Dance set over the Boat Race but it's not available here unfortunately and I don't fancy paying BL prices.

    Got this for fathers day. As you may know from my previous posts, big fan of the architecture series and architecture in general, but this one was something else. I had expected it to be quite repetitive and it was a little, but it was an absolute joy to build. It's solid as a rock when complete and it's massive. Hoping for more at this sort of scale.

    I see you can get the year of the pig with dragon boat purchases online only. If you didn’t get it added to your basket let LEGO know and they should add it for you.
