All Random Lego chatter!

Just put in my order. My credit card is still acting up for online orders so I had to use his....so I had to behave 😂😂

I got one of the Mario expansion sets reduced from 60 to 39, the polar bear set (I already have one but it will bulk out my winter scene) it was reduced to 9 , I threw in a couple of minifigs....if they are duplicates I've 2 kids so not the worst ..I also had the Ninjago ice dragon set (from insider points)

So all in it came to 56.....I had 4 fiver vouchers ...2 of them were bought on black friday so taking that discount I think everything worked out around 29 quid....3 sets, 2 minifigs.....happy enough.

Gonna take your advice and head to blanch on the 17th see if the 2 gwp are available....worth a punt as they say!

Crowd funding goes live early next month for these. 20k sets getting produced for each set. Only bad thing is there is another crowd funding one in June then October i believe, i wish there was only 2 a year to spread them out as there pricey sets. About 2 sets per series I like so easily over 1k there. No way I can afford them all and then lego sets out that I want at moment but I might try and get 1 per series even. I like the general store and castle this series.

Looks brilliant I am glad I pucked last 1 up in smyths swords after Xmas. That's the eternal problem with lego, not enough space for it all to display it sadly.

Wall mount it? I've ran out of space myself so looking at options. Wall mounting looks good for some of them. I do like having them in a cabinet to keep the dust off though. Haven't built anything in ages and have quite a stockpile. Must breakdown a couple of sets in the cabinet to make room.

The Space Shuttle is the biggest set I still have to build, no idea where that's going to go. I also have Technics Ferrari Daytona and Ecto-1. Oh and Apolo 11, an X wing of some description and several smaller one's I've forgotten. Think I just need a new display cabinet if I'm let put it somewhere!

I don't think Amazons customer service is that good :).

Anyway another Christmas over and my plans to get stuck into some of my kits never happened. Still have Land speeder, medieval blacksmith, tall neck and clone helmet to get through. Sometime I think I rather look at the boxes tham the actual built items.

Double lego insider points from 20th to 24th January also the year of the dragon set from 20th January to 31st of January with 85 euro spend it seems. Not sure if stores will still have the last GWP van for 190 spend as that ends today I believe. Not sure if they will still be in store as I do know the lego stores do keep a lot of the GWP that you get with the threshold been met after the date there due to end so be interesting if this happens on the GWP set. If they do be nice if spending 190.to get that the year of dragon set and double VIP points instore come sat.

I checked in lego store the set if you spend 190 euro isn't in lego store in town but YouTube video says that GWP is to have another run in April so must be why taken off shelf until then. Was hoping it would overlap for double insider points this wkend.

It'll run to midnight (or so) on 24th Jan from memory

You know Lego has gotten expensive when you have to turn to drug dealing to afford it... ;-)

Just done an order there to get over 85 spend to get the year of dragon GWP. Seems they are giving out the Chinese lunar parts polybag even tho not on their offer page. So not sure of threshold, usually 55 to get it. Just make sure your registered for lego insider as usually have to be registered for lego insiders. Not sure if you would get it instore as well as like I said it's not advertised.

Inglewood Street Deal Diorama!

No that was good now to be fair, seems the parts pack was just extra online so when reading comments below and not 1 they advertised online either, just appeared when I put in my order over the threshold.
