Stupid question - If I "buy" £15 of points, can I use them all in one purchase? I fell foul of this earlier when I tried to get 3 keyrings in one purchase and couldn't redeem them all and ended up just getting naughts and crosses instead...

Just ordered The Endurance - got £15 off using just 600 Insider points (75% discount) then used the rest of my points to take a further £16 off. Got 3 GWP - Shackleton's Lifeboat, the Retro Record Player and Winter Holiday Train. Pretty decent value overall I feel.
Exactly what I just did except my points discount was £45 !
A similar set of orders might have fallen into my Lego shopping basket just after midnight, don’t know how that happened whistle

Yes.

Only one reward per order, but as many vouchers as you like.

I have seen Costco selling the P1 for £219 - a typo or not but not surprised they are sold out.

I got it for £339 in Sept when it first came out - maybe I should have waited.... I find lego a bit soothing and got the Liebherr model a number of years ago - I have the Ferrari Daytona SP3 in the loft along with the P1 - I dont know which should I open first...hmm

You'll probably find they're both very similar builds until you start on the bodywork. It's one of the reasons I'm a bit out of love with Technic Supercars. Under the skin you wouldn't have a clue which car it is and they're all very 'samey'.

Crap. Totally forgot to get some of the £5 vouchers...

Anyway, if anyone wants a code for the retro spinning keyring, I've got 3 codes I won't use - Drop me a line and I'll send them over (free of charge). I'll try to respond as quickly as I can.

I have not built lego since I was a young boy in the 80s, I got the Liebherr model a number of years ago and it was marvellous - its sitting next to a conrad dump truck in the same livery - a T264 model and its heavy.!

I will get one of the supercars made over the Christmas holidays when I can relax for a while.

Cheers

Looks like the Shuttle accidentally fell into my basket over the weekend minus £20 of points.

I suspect that Santa also has the Senna MP4 tucked away somewhere too. I’ll need to look at getting the proper wheels before Mansell arrives in the spring.

Lego will offer the wheels from the Mansell Williams sometime in the future

Funnily enough it was revealed of the Mansell Williams that prompted the interest in the Senna set. FW14 is THE car for me and I couldn’t have one without the other…

I'm limited for space for my lego models (if not I'd have spent a fortune so far). Talking of space, do any of you keep the boxes?

Yes, but flattened in a big box in the basement. Don’t know why really, except I’m a hoarder by nature.

Yes, boxes flattened in the loft, and instructions all kept in a separate box in the loft once they have been added to the relevant iPads.

My issue is I don't have a loft, or a basement and very little in the way of storage areas. The other issue is the empty boxes aren't 'empty' as they're full of unmade sets! biglaugh

I open the numbered bags very carefully, then dismantle sets in reverse order and rebag into original numbered bags as per the instruction. All goes back in the box, back in the 'ready to ship' box if it comes in one, and then onto one of the numerous shelves I have in my spare room / office. I don't have much display space, so sets are built for about two weeks, then dismantled.

Yes, I'm sad (and need a much bigger house...).

I also open the packets carefully, save them and the boxes. Got space for all the models at the moment but you never know hehe
