Non Technic LEGO

Very nice, I wish I had a spare room. However, I think the lack of space is saving me a lot of money

Look forward to seeing some pictures of the Supercars.

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.

Anyone know exactly when they will be in the service stations & will we be able to buy them if we don't buy the fuel?

I have the last set of Shell Lego Ferraris - unopened.

Are they worth anything & should I leave them sealed or should I build them?

Brickset has the story, they are in Asia at the moment and will probably be here next year.

Same here, hang on to them as they're not worth too much at present, But then I do have a built set too!

Those look to be slightly bigger with a bit more detail than the previous set. Hopefully they will come to the UK.

They do seem bigger and a bit more expensive, the old ones have only just come out in Germany so they do take their time travelling round the world.

Review of the cars, the rest to follow.

Thanks for that.

I really like the blue 250 GTO and to a lesser extent the 512S. Not fussed about the F12 and the F1 car - but I'll probably pick them up anyway! I don't normally put Shell petrol in the car so I guess that shows its not a bad marketing ploy!

Did anyone see the update from Lego on Facebook yesterday? Apparently there is some big news coming on Thursday.

People are expecting it to be bionicle, had seemed a bit BBC like Top Gear or Dr Who though.

Well if you look at the Technic thread there's a link which will tell you what it is

I won't spoil it though

I came on to post that. They have the Sandcrawler which is normally £250, at £199 this weekend after the discount, so I couldn't resist.

It's a tad annoying though that the 20% discount isnt available on-line. Also I want the Death Star. It's out of stock. Bugger.

If you can't get it this time round and are prepared to be (very) patient, Lego usually do discounts on the bigger Star Wars sets around May 4th. I got 20% off the Death Star on this years Star Wars day.

[Spanna]

I'm heading to Smyths tomorrow. Should be getting Arkham Asylum and a quite a few smaller Marvel/DC sets for the lad's birthday. Might also get Metalbeard's Seacow and hide it till Christmas.

They have the Death Star in at this one too, Brum shop.

[BlueMR2]

Got my first S12 figure today, the power miner, got a nice classic space inspired mining logo as well.

Waiting for my box full, so no more for now but couldn't resist getting one.
