I like the G Wagon but not any of the others.....
G Wagon has got to be the easiest car shape to make from Lego, you could make a passable effort from classic 2x4 bricks hehe
Want to like the Aston set but the Vantage just looks a bit Meh and how different will it be from the Previous Vantage in the Valkyrie set? scratchchin

Off the back of enjoying the Himeji Castle so much I picked up the Pyramid at an ok price (compared to Lego.com) and, again, really enjoyed it even though the white outer skin is repetitive. The “during construction” details are nice too!





Now, of course, it’s May The Fourth week so went to my local store and bought the Tie Interceptor, which was (pun intended) flying off the shelf. Three gifts with purchase and double points will help to buy the Artemis later this month…

I'll be up for that. Happy with that postage too

No rush, as and when you find the box and instructions

Found them:



Box was flattended for a house move but pops back fairly well.

Do you want to send me a message and I'll start digging out some packing material?
Amazing. Nice one. Will message you on here

Just a heads up - I was in Sports Direct earlier today and it looks like they have 20% off their Lego range - picked up the Senna McLaren for £56 smile

This points business, how does it work?

I have the Lego builder app and usually log my kids (and my!) sets there as the ‘extra’ set of digital set of instructions are very useful!

But I’ve only just clicked on the whole QR code points business which seems to work on a whole separate website. Do I now need to go back through any paper instructions one by one and register everything for points?

And is it actually worth it?

Yes, you scan a QR code on the front of each set's booklet, and that gives you 20 insider points.

I'd say it's worth it - doesn't take long, and the points do add up.

Yes, points are through Lego Insiders site, which is separate from the builder app. Not sure why.

That's in my to-build pile.

The big £700ish one was a bit much for me, and the £120ish one is strangely "plain" looking. This one looks ace.

Awkward but cheers. This weeks birthday purchases have been added, I shall await a wet afternoon to go through all older instructions and tot them up!

Currently building the Star Wars corridor set with a rather over excited 7 year old…

Did you get the Troop Transport at Smyths? I thought it was a Lego Store exclusive?

Nope, sorry.
Top 2 Smyths, rest of Lego.

Enjoy!
Just started the Falcon build, looking forward to it.
Looks like the Transporter has sold out, no doubt going for silly money on Ebay tomorrow.

Accidentally popped into my local Smyths this afternoon and, although the sets were full price, they had a promotional item for over €25 purchases of Star Wars Lego, a nice little keyring (this may be region-specific?). So I bought the Droideka and registered the points on the app. The last time I built one of these was the 2001 Technic version!

One down.
Good little build, like others have said, more enjoyable than the UCS falcon was.
