Where did you pick them up? All sold out as now discontinued.
Gutted as I wanted one to buy after Christmas.
I bought one from Smyths Toys just before Christmas, I think it was about £30 under RRP at the time too. Their website has it listed as being able to order for home delivery on the 11th Jan. You could try any nearby toy stores and official Lego stores to see if they have any stock left.

They had two in Smythes Salisbury when I went in on Monday if that helps?

Did it charge you £133 instead of £119? the prices are all over the place.

Just checked my order on the Lego website and they have charged £119. To be honest I didn't check the price when I first ordered it as I had drunk a few shandies!

I'm midway through the falcon myself, an enjoyable build. Wouldn't mind kylo Ren's ship but not sure I'll get sign off from the financial director if I want any hope of the firehouse to go with my fresh built ecto1!
Just finished the falcon. I've got, I mean my sons got, kylo rens shuttle coming next week for his birthday smile

Long time lurker in the Lego thread, but thought I could be useful... The Lego Shop in Brighton's Churchill Sq had at least one Tumbler when I was there on Sunday.

Ive just flipped them for £200 profit here in NL.

I think they will go up quite quickly. But im happy to have turned a quick deal around. Thats paid for my Arocs truck smile
Goed gedaan meneer Langzaam biggrin

I went to the UK just before Christmas and bought a couple of Doctor Who sets from ToysRus in the UK for less than on the UK Lego website but when I got my NL credit card bill even with no commission from the bank for foreign currency transactions with the poor exchange rate the two sets were more than they would have cost buying them from the NL Lego website.

Anyway - I still have an unopened Tumblr in the attic so might just keep it there along with an untouched Death Star biggrin

Just ordered the Ghostbusters Fire Station - but that's to build smile

Anyone seen any of the 2016 sets in the shops yet?

Would have loved to get the Brick Bank for the wife for her to build over the next few days but cannot find it in stores and it's not on any of the online stores besides Legos own. Can't believe Lego don't do a next day delivery... So spoilt by Amazon Prime. Can't face a trip to Westfield so may have to wait a bit longer. Our local Toysrus has a great AFOL section but the guy that runs that was disappointed none of the new sets came in with their delivery today.

You'll only get the brick bank in a LEGO store or S@H. Loads of 2016 sets in the LEGO Store, quite a few at Smyths, but low amounts of stock there.

They had more than twice the number of Ghostbuster HQ's to Brick Banks in Leeds, they actually didn't have that many Brick Banks.

Managed to get a few new Series 15 CMF's this morning and plenty of baubles.

They have very little sale stuff in really, nearly all the stock is 2016 sets.

Time off is a dangerous and expensive time - since Christmas I have purchased the us tie fighter and x-wing, the 6 new build able figures and this morning I have ordered the ghostbusters hq.

A few months ago I had a big sell up as decided I would never build anything!?

I'm in the process of building set 10248 Ferrari F40 at the moment (although I've built it as RHD as on sped to the LHD setup that the manual shows), it's probably taken about 3 hours so far and I've still got most of the body work and the engine to build as yet. Will add a couple of pictures if anyone's interested, certainly different from the star wars stuff for the boy.

Strangely enough I build all the vehicle's in RHD just finished the 42043 Arocs with detail on the Cab mirrors aswell but left the F40 LHD because they are... But a nice compact model and a great build.

I built my VW Camper in RHD then I realised it had German number plates so it has to be LHD. Took a while to rebuild it again. So before I build a vehicle I check where it was registered! Slightly off topic, I would like to see the next Creator vehicle as a Citroen DS, but I think it will be something American such as a classic Mustang as we have not had a vehicle from across the pond.
