All Random Lego chatter!

Other half and daughter in New York and Jersey Gardens. I was in lego store before there and they have reduced sets. Usually as damaged boxes. I asked her to send me pic of what sets are in it there which she did 5 mins ago. Funny they have bricklink sets there as well.

Shame they don't do that in Ireland as I am sure sets get damaged.

I just asked her how much snow white set was and its 153 there as reduced in that sale pile.

December 2017 I ordered the Millenium Falcon 75192 from Lego for 799 euro. At the time there were those AIB offers with which I got 10% off, or cash back, so essentially paid 719 euro for the set. It then sat in the attic until we moved to South Africa in 2021. It was shipped with our belongings, and has been sat in the garage here since. Over 8 years and it hasnt been taken out of the box that Lego shipped it in.

I have now asked a friend to make us a coffee table especially for this set to be displayed. He lives like 8 hours away so will have to see when I can actually collect it, hopefully in 4-5 weeks from now. Then start building the set. Then see which other Star Wars sets will fit into it also to display with it. I am not even into Star Wars myself, never watched any of the movies even. My wife is the one into it and have a couple sets (Yoda, Groku, BB8). So I am paying to have a table made for her sets, so I can have more space in my display case to buy more of the F1 cars. The table costs more than I can buy the Redbull F1 car for right now though, but that will have to wait I guess.

Watch this space for when table arrives and 75192 is built.

Wont be anything mad like you see online where people go all out. Waiting for him to send me the design and dimensions so i can figure out what else i can squeeze in there with it. But yeah, glad to finally be a step closer to building it after 8 years of no progress.

If you download this, it shows the pics of the minifigures in the boxes.

Just arrived today.

Saw you sold it. Kinda wish to someone else as that person is a lego reseller and will wack the amount up.

Ahhh yeah you have to go with 1st come 1st served, like you say shame not a collector instead of a seller.

I say 40 to 50 euro seems to be price on ebay. Bricklink from 20 euro and about a 10er on some of them posted. So not sure if you stick it up for 20 or 30 as you can say thats what shipping is if getting from Bricklink.

I like the new JP fossil, it would go nice with the T-Rex, but I honestly don't have anymore room. If only I could win the Euromillions!

I think I passed that stage a while ago but still keep buying, although I haven't bought anything in a while. Considering using some Insiders points and picking up the Peanuts set

Sagrada Familia has been announced as the much anticipated largest set by Lego.

Preordered my first tank today.

I love their ships, (I have the HMS Victory, Tirpitz Limited Edition, & U.S.S. Missouri), but found their planes not so great. I had the Dambuster edition of the Lancaster Bomber take a nose dive off of the shelf it was on and the bricks actually broke. Also have the Flying Fortress but the wings just don't really come together I find.

They are quite a pain to make though, particularly the Victory, had some very sore fingers after that one!
