Lego Sopwith Camel
Discussion
Browsing the Lego site this lunchtime (actually looking for Duplo for my 4 year daughter!)I spotted this.

I was a huge Lego fan as a kid, and I had some gift money burning a hole in my pocket after a recent landmark (life commencing) birthday. so I figured what the hell - indulge my inner child! I can always claim that I misread Age 14+ as being Age 40+
Now, I just need to explain to my daughter why she can't have Daddy's Special Lego to play with along with her own.....

Just need to get the UniMog now...
I saw that and was quite tempted - that's one big-ass kit! If I didn't have a wife, child and mortgage, and if I wasn't concerned about getting odd looks from anyone who visited the house and saw it, this would have been epic!

£350 though!
This is my first foray into Lego since I was a child, although if I'm honest I suspect that I get as much enjoyment even out of Duplo as my daughter does....
Have any of you tried the licensed Ferrari kits? I think there was was a Lego Technic Enzo and 599 GTB. I gather they have been discontinued and only seem to be available now on ebay at ridiculous prices....

I may know 'someone' who got the Lego Millennium Falcon for his 40th... cough...
Good effort on the part of whoever bought that for you, err him! I was as big a fan of Star Wars as a child as I was of Lego. It's good job none of that was available then or my poor parents would have been penniless!
Tempted as I was by the Falcon, I decided that I would get enough stick as it was for buying Lego at my age, without bringing the added opprobrium of sci-fi geekery into it! (Oh, and it was too big to fit anywhere in my "man room"/office.....)
Have fun with it!
Anyway, to keep this Boats, Planes & Trains related, I hope the Camel sells well so they might perhaps then consider doing other aircraft kits. I'm sure a Lego Spitfire would sell in droves, although I suspect it might be difficult to do the ellipses of the wings....

I'm sure your four year old would love to help you
I'm certain of that - she has loved any sort of building blocks since she was a baby. Which is fine by me as it gives me an excuse to buy all manner of more interesting and more complicated for her to do as she gets older - which she will naturally need Dad's help with.....
