Got it for the boy for xmas one year then decided it was too complex at his age and put it away.
Guess what he's getting this year!

How does it find the golf balls better than an ordinary torch?
I'm guessing it's an LED blacklight torch. Sounds like utter tosh but had lots of good reviews. If it's kack, I'll send it back.I get enough grief for the time I spend on the course as it is - without heading down there in the dark!

You can pick the frame up from Ikea for £8 and buy the minifigs off Bricklink ETA - followed the link... this will be bad for my wealth!! https://folksy.com/shops/framedup

Could you post some info on the bits you used to make it?
Its a Ribba frame from Ikea. If im honest its probably a bit to large height wise, but you can choose the size you like.http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/collections/ribba/
Its a deep frame so you can get a three stud deep lego piece in it for the shelves. I used 20 2x6 plates and 20 1x6 plates for each shelves with a few 1x3 plates at the end. Also 4 per shelf, clear 5 brick high clear pieces for support. You can buy these direct from Lego https://shop.lego.com/en-GB/Pick-a-Brick?icmp=SHHo...
you can order the minifigs though Bricklink https://shop.lego.com/en-GB/Pick-a-Brick?icmp=SHHo...
You need to watch the prices as some of the characters are rare so go for a premium.
Example is Captain Antilles, the guy in brown
Or sometime you can get a bargain buying a second hand battle pack on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_21?url...
I would hate to think what it costs in total, but I just spent £20 here, £20 there so didn't really notice it.

Handy book, kinda frivolous so suite this thread

Fortunately my Star Wars collecting doesn't really extend to Lego or I'd be drowning in bricks I think. I keep seeing a lot of the figures in frames at Cons and always wonder why people buy them when the frame is cheap from Ikea and figures are pence from Aliexpress.
Anyway, this weekends frivolity. My lovey husband managed to order me one of the new Black Series TK Helmets from Asda when they were briefly in stock. It's not bad, I suspect kids will love it. It's next to my RS Props ESB helmet here so you can compare. (edited to add, Black Series is on the left)

If your just framing them, I'd head off to aliexpress and pay about 40p per character... You'd never tell the difference. http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/collections/ribba/

I shall bear it in mind however, if I decide to start putting whole walls of the things together... still have the itch for the Pulp Fiction one!

I like the pop-culture Lego myself, hence the BTTF one and having the DeLorean, ECTO-1 and Ghostbusters Firehouse, albeit boxed and unbuilt at the present. I think the BTTF, Pulp Fiction, Blues Brothers and maybe Ghostbusters mountings would be quite fun hallway or games room decorations.
