Monica and Rachels Apartment. Looking forward to picking it up!

DaveNoCheese · 09-05-2021 6:36pm

A leaked image doing the rounds on Instagram shows Joey & Chandlers Apt, the hallway and Monica & Rachel's Apt from the perspective of the filming crew, similar to the Central Perk set.

pcadhain · 09-05-2021 10:28pm

Looks good and full of references. That Janice minifigure is the most accurate of the lot too

Exclamation Marc · 11-05-2021 2:49pm

It looks amazing! I thought I'd completed (most) of my lego spending for May but I guess not!

Luke skywalker bespin in the star wars magazine out today. Was a duel pack with a micro tie bomber and that mini figure. But there was another magazine same one but not the minifigure with it but micro ATAT. So you might get one or the other depends on the shop selling them.

Found this interesting just recommended for the neighbors kids as we live by a river. How long it will last is another thing, more a bath toy I suspect.

Probably been mentioned before as it seems to have been around for about a year.

Amazon - LEGO 42105 Technic Catamaran to Race Power Boat 2in1 Floating Model Toy £25

Plenty of good pictures in the reviews.

RGARDINR · 15-05-2021 5:42pm

Up in the parents attic some sets I would of left there over the years. Loads more but mostly city, ninjago, marvel and dc

RGARDINR · 15-05-2021 5:42pm

Sorry no ha eventually I will build them. Says me with no more space for lego.

Kavrocks · 15-05-2021 10:06pm

That's some collection of unmade sets. I'd be happy if I had that.

17-05-2021 5:21pm

Between the Friends apartments, the creator castle, the new Harry Potter wave and now the Daily Bugle... The next few weeks are going to be expensive! Lego should just take money direct from my salary at this point

You mentioned Harry Potter and I'd just been looking at this https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0813QWS29 not a kit I'd seen before. I follow lego bargains for neighbors kids. Luckily don't have to spend my money on them.

Yeah some great sets coming out now. I just need a bit of a lotto win to get some lego funds together now ha.

davetherave · 17-05-2021 7:05pm

I see from the email that Looney Tune minifigures are out. They look neat, must have a real effort at getting them. I had no interest in the minifigs before the Harry Potter Series 2 set from Sept/Oct last year. I think I saw a post about them on here, I'm blaming you lot anyway.

The Continental Op · 18-05-2021 5:54pm

Can anyone tell me if this is a good deal or not https://www.amazon.co.uk/LEGO-42100-Toy-Multicolour/dp/B07NDBGW4G/ £302.62 at checkout.

Its on a list for recommendation for some neighbors kids with a dad who is an engineer.

Who will play with it most? Your guess is as good as mine

That's pretty cool looking, while normally I wouldn't be interested in sets purely for their aesthetic I may pick this up, I definitely won't let some faux outrage about woke bull**** stop me anyway!

I doubt Lego are making this to pander to anything other than their wallets. Who cares either way at the end of the day who the target audience is?

It's a visually striking set and I will definitely be picking it up.

It's like saying Lego are pandering to petrolheads by releasing the Porsche 911

Agree with you, their target audience is people who will buy their products

Exclamation Marc · 20-05-2021 1:04pm

Politics don't bother me but it's a truly horrible looking set.

The minifgures are lost on the backdrop (and I'm sure that's intentional) but it's rank to look at.

It may have been improved if they incorporated that "Everyone is Awesome" into the design.

Niska · 20-05-2021 5:07pm

I see the Daily Bugle set was mentioned earlier - it's on the site - listed for 1st June. It's big all right - 3770 Pieces.

https://www.lego.com/en-ie/product/daily-bugle-76178

qwabercd · 20-05-2021 11:25pm

Think I'll go for the bugle next. Had considered the friends set, looks fun but the finished article doesn't look that visually appealing to me.

The bonsai tree is back in stock in case anyone had beem waiting on it.

Has anyone done any of the nijango builds? The nijango city gardens set looks fun.

Niska · 21-05-2021 2:21pm

A nice feature of the Daily Bugle set is that it fits with the other modular building sets. Hopefully the falling window cleaner section can be built as fixed or removed.

The designer has already confirmed that it can be restored with the pieces in the box.

Ordered the friends apartment on Wednesday morning and it arrived today. Been awhile since delivery was that quick.

RGARDINR · 23-05-2021 2:13pm

In sports direct in Charlestown they have some of the new ninjago sets out and Infinity War lego sets out. Seem to be put out a few days early as not a June release.

Spocker · 23-05-2021 2:15pm

Sports Direct sell Lego?

23-05-2021 2:27pm

I was hoping to find some of the new sets in Smyths Fonthill but the que to get in was absolutely massive (around the corner past Elverys) so didn't even bother looking.

Not necessarily Lego related, but I was out Tallaght way yesterday, said I'd pull into the Smyths to get a handful of the new Loony Tunes minifigs. My first hint should have been having to do two laps of the car park before getting a spot. No queue to get in but my God, and I appreciate it was a sunny Saturday afternoon but the place was jammed.

Couldn't see any of the minifigs along the lego aisle or up at the stands on the tills, only the "normal" and the Mario ones. Asked someone, he asked someone else who beat his way through the crowd and came back with two and pointed towards the tills where he said there was more of them if I wanted more and promptly disappeared. It was only as I was queuing up that I realised he had given me one Looney Tunes and one Mario, both white bags to be fair and he looked under pressure. Looked over where the stand was, again only saw Mario bags, dumped that one and got out of there. And that's my story of how I went to hell and back for a single minifig

I tried Smyths in Naas on the way home but no luck either. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of larger sets Smyths seem to stock now. Was v close to walking out with a haunted mansion

Legged it into Brandmax beside it though and picked up one of the new Harry Potter sets. They had some of the new Disney Mickey Mouse sets too. Thanks for the heads up

Yeah smyths have nice big sets now, the haunted mansion is a nice looking set. I think a lot of great sets coming out this year. Still have to get a few star wars sets myself that are retiring this year and then the next wave coming 1st August. Hopefully smyths might do 10 euro off 50 this year in September but probably not as they didn't last year over covid so might be same deal this year.

Hopefully as be handy, more they didn't want the crowds in last year over social distancing and be mad in the shop and q etc.

I keep flip flopping on it. It comes with great minifigs but the actual building looks a bit meh.

I'm the the same boat. I'm not big into the modulars but I do have both the Ninjago City and City docks sets. And will be getting the Ninjago City garden set. At least those three compliment each other.

I'll likely pick up the bugle down the line when it's on offer

I would recommend getting it, if I could I would. Sure look at ghosbusters HQ, sells for mad money now, I can see this set when it retires selling for mad money down the line. So will save people in the long run then for not buying it.
