The Tumbler looks good however having wasted £150 on 10225 R2D2, a kit that I hate with a passion, I can't justify spending another £160.

Should have bought the Camper Van & the Mini.

R2 is currently sat on the table looking at me. Doing naff all. Just sat there. Watching me. Annoying me immensely.

Is this the R2 you dropped down the stairs?

I'm currently mulling over Simpsons House (£180) vs Chima Temple (£99) for my boy's birthday soon. He's into Chima and has good load of it but also likes the Simpsons and the set would be great in the space in his room. The Lion Temple will leave some cash for a Camper/Mini though... For myself I might add.

Yep. Rebuilt it but still don't like the end result. It's just so dull in comparison with the other Lego stuff I have got.

Currently got the 4 x 4 Crawler in early build stages as well as the Millenium Falcon. Much more interesting than R2R2.

Why do you hate the R2D2 so much fatboy?

Edit: I think you answered my question in the post above, d'oh!

If you mean the new one that retails at £90 then Amazon have one left at £66.99 http://www.amazon.co.uk/LEGO-Legends-Chima-70146-P...
If you mean the older one that is EOL good luck, but they wee sold half price in a number of places at £50 when stock was being cleared out.

Benny's SSS is £54.99 at John Lewis at the moment.

Bennys Space Ship is the best of the recent sets, including Technic.

I never fly it around my office at home during teleconferences

It would look awesome mounted vertically on a wall.

Ordered, looked when it came out but didn't think it was a £70+ set - also had some money on my JL account so was only £46.16 delivered!

[BlueMR2]

Anyone at Knightcon tomorrow?

[fatboy69]

I bought Bennies Spaceship 2/3 weeks ago - cost me £70 from ToysrUs.

A very good build, colourful & has some decent working features. Far better than R2D2!!!!!

On the verge of getting the Camper Van although it seems to be out of stock at the moment which is annoying.

1 bennys spaceship ordered, thanks for the tip.

[Blakeatron]

Started the tumbler last night, did a couple of hours and finished the 2nd book (out of 5!)

Have to say I am quite impressed at the moment, was not sure about it to begin with BUT it's batman so had to have it, glad I did now.

Something to look forward to...

LEGO Supercars 2015

75899 – LaFerrari
75908 – 458 Italia GT2
75909 – McLaren P1
75910 – Porsche 918 Spyder
75911 – McLaren Mercedes Pitstop
75912 – Porsche 911 GT Finish
75913 – F14 & Scuderia Ferrari

I only hope they're not in the same scale as the Shell promotion that happened a while back.

That little lot is going to cost an awful lot of money. Nothing on the list that I don't want!!!

I'm a bit disappointed with the full list (apart from the supercars). The only thing grabbing me is -

71009 – Simpsons Collectable Minifigures Series 2

and maybe the Pirates theme. I was also confused as to why they're doing Jurassic Park years after the films were released but see there's a new one coming out.

Do we know yet whether the 2015 Supercars are mini-kits like the Shell Ferrari ones or "proper" kits, like the Ferrari 1:10 Racer series from a few years back....?

Some are the small kits and a couple are med/large going off the prices

[Bullett]

It's the technics 24hr racer that looks the most interesting to me.

[BlueMR2]

There are a new set of Ferrari Shell cars on the way as well, the prices listed for those above are way too expensive to be little polybags.

Thought I would post up a few photos of the LEGO Town I have slowly been creating:
