The trailer build has started, I'm loving this as much as the camper

hope you dont mind me asking but how did the instructions come? electronic of hard copy

[djdest]

As a PDF, it also included coding that you can cut and paste into bricklink to add everything needed to your wants list.
If you buy the full kit with bricks needed you get printed instructions, but it works out a lot more expensive

Finally got it finished

I'd love to know the story behind this lot, you'd think a serious collector would put them on Bricklink or similar as opposed to some random auction house.

They sound used, so possibly the collection of someone who has passed away or moved somewhere they can't take them, eg abroad or a retirement home etc...

I assume you can only bid in person? I'm after a cheap/2nd hand Mini Cooper so I can rebuild it in a different colour

[djdest]

Not sure if anyone has seen this site, I chanced upon it when looking for something else





Chrome bricks can be ordered from here:

Online as well apparently although I have no idea how exactly. You'd be best off emailing them.

Finally got the death star finished today. Epic build, between me and my daughter's it took about 20/25 hours over two weekends. Nice attention to detail on this kit.

[BlueMR2]

Looking good.


Only a few days to go for the LEGO Batman Movie Now.

I can't wait for the Movie especially after watching the trailers. I'm not keen on the new models barring the batcave but hope they'll grow on me after watching. I prefer Batman to be a bit more serious I think and the minifigures are horrendous.

Anyway here's a link of some BIG lego!

That's cool!

Anyone interested in the VW Camper itself?
I've one at home, with the original box and instructions, that can be for sale.

[djdest]

I could be tempted, I'm toying with getting another one to turn it into a crewcab, pick up or van

[RC1807]

Let me know. :thumbsup:

Went to see lego batman with the wife at the weekend. She enjoyed it surprisingly.

Though sadder times today as I'm clearing out a lot of lego as new house doesn't have the display space old flat did.

I've got the UCS SSD and it gotta go but looking at bricklink all prices for various sets seem rather like....Hopeful.

Is bricklinks any use for selling sets as if it's not great I'll use ebay.

Saw the batman movie yesterday, greatly enjoyed it

And today i put together one of the new speed champions sets, the AMG GT3, and Lego have again found a way to improve these little sets, the stickers now have a transparent background, meaning you can colour swap models! I was considering picking up a second AMG to build a road version (seeing how lego already provide the front for that), but now i can do that in yellow or bright orange as well, to set the model apart from the agressive GT3 version

[Lurking Lawyer]

On the subject of Speed Champions, I built the GT40 set earlier in the week. I really like it. The GT40 is one of my favourite cars of all time and Lego have done a pretty good job of rendering it in bricks. The 2016 GT looks great too, albeit rather more like the various GT cars that have already been produced.

It's certainly not the 'manliest' set Lego have ever released, but at about 1/2 way through, fair to say I'm really rather liking it

I've just ordered that to build with my daughter, when we've finished the GT3.
