    Got my table. Unboxed the set for the first time on 8 April. Been building a bit most nights. Finished it last night. Put it into the table tonight. Result.

    Thanks. Yoda's lightsaber only literally just fits in the height. Like I cant tell if the glass actually touches it or not. And the Millenium falcon has not much gap on its sides between it and the glass. Just the length that has some space.

    Will maybe look for another set for the corner where the little green set is at the moment, she has been wanting an R2D2 for a while. Or C-3PO maybe, just need to check the heights but think it will work too.

    In smyths as well. You could buy a small lego star wars set for 10 euro and get this. They had them in Swords smyths there. We got 2 of them. Just ask staff as there at the tills. Plus the free polybag.

    Hey,


    can someone help me identify this lego set please. It might me a single set or part of multiple sets. Some bricks are probably missing.
    thanks

    The part to the right is

    Set 76387-1 Hogwarts: Fluffy Encounter

    I think the part to the left is:

    Set 76402-1 Hogwarts: Dumbledore's Office



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,257 ✭✭✭Greg81


    Thank you that's 2 set Identified.

    Looks like there might be the third one (part with the columns on the left).

    Yeah definitely 3 sets mixed together and lots of parts missing. There looks to be bits of 76389 Chamber of Secrets in there. The part with the columns should have a roof with a tower, and other bits are also from that set.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,257 ✭✭✭Greg81


    OK, I’ve just gone through the set’s photos, and it is in fact 76389 Chamber of Secrets.
    I also have some spare parts I managed to salvage, so I need to check what is missing.
    Thanks for your help.

    The microfig exterior/minifig interior was a brilliant design choice.

    It looks fantastic and I think I might have to pick it up. Also comes with a Grond GWP which is very nice

    I'm starting to want this now 🙈



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,923 ✭✭✭Macker1


    Certainly worth the wait and glad to have the chance to save in advance over the last few months. Few sets on their way in June but this is number 1 on the hitlist.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,344 ✭✭✭✭Heroditas


    I felt a bit dirty but ordered a Nifeliz kit the other day. It's their-ATV military vehicle. Think it has about 3000 parts. Kinda interested to see what these kits are like and justified it I so far as it's not a direct competitor to an actual rela Lego kit.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 841 ✭✭✭Jayd0g


    be interested to hear how you get on with it.

    Have heard reports of these kits being more tricky to get blocks to connect.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,344 ✭✭✭✭Heroditas


    Reviews seemed very good (yes, yes, I know... it's Amazon) so hopefully it'll be enjoyable. My last Technic set was the Red Bull F1 car and I was a broken man by the time I finished it 😖

    Loving the look of 11380 Road Bike but don't wanna get screwed on a set that might drop in price medium term. Think I'll at least wait for a GWP. Anyone got thoughts on the price? Discounts likely? I paid nearly full whack for the Earth/Sun/Moon set a while ago and not long after it seemed to drop quite a bit.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,547 ✭✭✭RGARDINR


    I would hold off for sure. I never usually buy sets full price. Would hold off for double insider points which apparently there is in June sometime and also a Leonardo da Vinci GWP. Defo don't get it at full price. You should never get a lego set at full price in lego store unless GWP or double insider points. Its in Argos so could drop in price there if your close to 1 up north.

    Grafton Street closed due to the serious incident earlier this morning. Just an FYI for anyone heading into the store this morning. No ETA for opening.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,547 ✭✭✭RGARDINR


    GWP. Seems to be from 19th June and will overlap apparently with double insider points and threshold of 150 spend. Now there not confirmed as of yet but meant to be.

    Finally finished it last night after the guts of three weeks building it. I really need my eyes tested because it was extremely challenging trying to figure out of parts in the instructions were black or dark green.

    A review of Nifeliz in general: the box didn't look that packed but my god, every inch of it is jam-packed with pieces.

    The instruction book was huge and weighed a ton. Downside to it was the glossy finish on the paper which made it hard to read in bright light, particularly daylight!

    Instructions were very clear and only one or two parts seemed a little dodgy. It's a very robust set. The bags are marked very clearly, e.g. Batch 2, pages 211-256.1 so the bag is clearly marked to follow certain pages.

    Very impressed with it but it somehow lacks the warmth of the Lego kits. Definitely the most challenging set I've ever assembled though. Would I buy another? Possibly. The U-Boat looks pretty cool and isn't all Technic like this one was.

    LEGO have unveiled what may well be their most elaborate and expensive set to date, the famous Gaudi designed Sagrada Familia church in Barcelona, set to be finally completed this summer after 144 years of construction. Over 12,000 pieces in total!

    I'm very, very tempted, but at €750 for this Architecture series set which will be available in September, I'm gonna have to start saving up…

    Brilliant Review, thank you very much!

    It looks like decent value then, I'll have to take a closer look again.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,547 ✭✭✭RGARDINR


    GWP in early July apparently. Now this is just the concept version of it. Not sure of threshold either. Apparently around 150 spend.
