I'm getting a new bookshelf delivered tomorrow so I had to move things out of the box that was in its way.... The big loose Lego boxes don't have instructions, but this lot has builds....



I'm not even sure that's all the instructions...

Just finished the Icons Land Rover. For those of you on the fence about this one, be in no doubt that it’s a truly excellent build - up there with the Shuttle for enjoyment and detail in my opinion. Lots of Lego, lots of features. Brilliant. I built it with full options and the V8 engine naturally!

Good ol' Amazon. Despite requesting it was boxed, left on the doorstep, covered in stickers and as a final bonus, absolutely battered and open...





It's surprisingly hard to find info, but I think all the bags and bits are there (13 in total, plus 2 loose rods).

It's always worth ordering with Gift Options if you really need it in a box for some reason. I'd be going back to Amazon on this though.

I've returned Lego to Amazon over slightly damaged boxes. They won't quibble at all.

Costco have the Endor speederbike chase diorama for £62.

https://www.costco.co.uk/Toys-Baby-Child/Toys-Game...

But I bought it at full price with the Super Star Destroyer (which seems to be an exclusive with Smyths) to get the freebies and double points. Mostly I wanted the little Death Star II.

If anyone's interested in the coin thing I'd happily sell it at a sensible price. There are some discounts for points - £100 off the Razor rest for 100 points for example. Or, if you buy it in store then you get 5x VIP points. Which are worth about £120, I think.

Tempted by the £100 off the Razor Crest from a value perspective but it's not a great-looking model imo. Can anyone comment on whether it's a good build at least?

I think if I'm spending £400+ I'd much prefer the Rivendell set.

Just ordered the VIP / GWP Star Wars bits from ebay, the limited edition coin and the X-Wing polybag, as I didn't want to spend the money required to get them laugh

On the Star Wars theme, just sorting through some boxes and found a sealed Lars Family Homestead Kitchen set that I’d forgotten I had.

Up for sale for a sensible price if anyone missed out on it (not really my thing)

I'd never heard of that one so looked it up - it is delightful.

I've got it and built it and it's a sweet little set, my children use it as a kitchen on the houses and other things they build.

Mine is in progress, I'm going for a halfway between full off-road and standard (with V8) currently a convertible.

You've got the wheels on back to front, it looks better but fouls the bodywork when the steering is turned.

Mine is still "in the warehouse".

On an unrelated note, there's a teeny-tiny Defender on the way.

Nice but £13.49

For a 'classic' Land Rover how about this.

I suspect that £13.49 means it'll be a gift-with-purchase.

Looks like the sort of set you see in proper Lego stores but rarely anywhere else. It's a great looking little build but the price is a little excessive!
