    I build whichever model I like least (A or B) first, then take it apart and build the other model which I display for a while, however space is an issue at the moment so I breakdown some sets and store them away to display newer sets. I've only space to display about 6-7 models, three of which I keep constantly build so I rotate my other 3-4 depending on the size of the models.

    When I get more space (i.e. move) I'll hope to have a wall with shelves to display all of my sets, I've about 30 Technic sets so will need a fair bit of space to put them all up.

    I figured they weren't giving them out, just thought I'd chance my arm :)

    Well, that and we got a copy of the Marvel Superheroes game last month without receiving any, didn't realise they had them.

    I saw that in the flesh yesterday, it did nothing to steel my will power :pac: It's a beast of a thing, enjoy.

    I caved and ordered this year's addition to the Winter Village theme, #10235:

    However, I ordered it last Tuesday and I still haven't gotten a dispatch email, getting impatient/worried.

    I really don't have room for this with our current Winter Village set up, but it's a nice headache to have really :)

    I saw this built and in a glass case in the Lego shop in Copenhagen and it looks amazing. I was going to get it for myself for Christmas this year but am going for 10225 R2D2 instead. I couldn't resist it after watching the designers video.

    Indeed he will.

    If he doesn't it'll be the worlds first Lego-related tiger-kidnapping.

    In fairness if he could get us 50% off for Lego, he would be a king around here. :D.

    I guess there is a "catch" where we cant get involved. :(

    Though if he did ever do the right thing and put in a big boardsie order it might look a wee bit questionable if he orders half a dozen Millennium Falcons :D


    Do it.

    No boardsie deals I'm afraid.. I get a certain amount lego at a discount per year. Gets used up by family. I do a lot of business with them.. Has its perks, annual trips to billund, factory tours etc. Needless to say I'm my nephews favourite uncle

    Word of advice. Dont go boasting about having a 50% discount on Lego, on a Lego thread.

    The flimsy story about getting a Lego "allowance" doesn't help things.

    I distribute lego educatoin kits, I have no problem doing boardsie deals, as I have done in the past, on anything I distribute.. You can see my store here, it's getting an update in the new year with more products.. anyone looking for anything pm me.
    Unfortunately I don't distribute retail LEGO hence the reason I can't get discounts for everyone on it.. If anyone is ever looking for anything specific I'm more than willing to help out..

    If I had a Lego discount I'd be like "Hey everybody enjoy paying RRP for lego, lolz"

    I'll prob get banned for this but ironically I spend so much time running workshops with lego that I rarely build it outside of work. Christmas is the only time I really build at home..
