Non Technic LEGO

Bought two more sets last week, 75051 & 75052 from Argos, some good discounts floating about.

It's nothing amazing, the engine detail is half decent though. Not sure why a go kart has a headrest, must be quite a comfortable one.

Probably to stop the drivers head from being thrown back when they are rear ended. I used to wear a neck brace to restrict the movement of my helmet when I raced karts. A head rest would have been nice.

Great collection - I plan on collecting all the buildings after the current Star Wars UCS. Unfortunately I don't seem to have anywhere to put it!

I hope you have deep pockets.... have you seen how much the early discontinued ones sell for..... I have the last six but can't see me getting the full set now....

£4-5k should get you a MISB set.

You'll need more if you go for some old UCS starwars stuff though.

I'm only after the current ucs, so shouldn't need as much as you are stating. I'm sure once the current range is collected I will want to move onto previous models!

A couple of thou£ + for a 10179. £1k each + for a 10030 Imperial Star Destroyer + 10143 Death Star II.

I was more meaning for the buildings.

I was thinking of putting together a frame of Star Wars figures and saw this video,

Ok made a start, ok not great but following BlueMR2's suggestion I have joined bricklink and hopefully the rest will be a bit cheaper. I am going to base this on the original three films so no clone troopers etc.

When you buy on Bricklink, realise that unless stated otherwise, you won't get weapons like light sabers or guns with figures, so if you do want weapons check if people have them listed separately.

For example, here are some light saber hilts. http://www.bricklink.com/storeDetail.asp?b=-288188...

Here are the light saber bars to go with them. http://www.bricklink.com/storeDetail.asp?b=-288188...

Remember to check the terms for postage cost and how soon they will be sent out etc, checking seller feedback etc.

A Death Star could be a good start, plenty of figures (and a big model) there.

Agree. Also, its been out for a few years so might be retired soon. The SSD price went up pretty fast so best get in now if you decide you want it.

[Cotty]

If I got the Death Star I would leave the figures in it. But I want so many extra figures they would not all fit. For example I just ordered three members of the band, Obi One Kenobi and Greedo from A New Hope.

The Death star could sit on a turntable so you can view whichever bit you want with a picture frame above with all the other figures in. Or smaller frames for figures from each film.

[AndyWoodall]

Sorry if I've missed a post but I'm thrilled they are proceeding with Wall-E for the next ideas set.

Its working out cheaper to buy the figures on their own. Also I want them together in a frame.

Smaller frames for each film could be an idea though. But means duplicating some people.

Alot of characters have multiple figures. There are 3 Luke Skywalkers in the Death Star for a start.

That frame of stormtroopers, there should have been one a bit shorter than the rest.
