I am hoping they have some interesting stuff in store, maybe the castle 3 in 1 set.

I went recently, beware the store isn't a Lego store it's a Merlin owned store and prices are high also you can't use or collect VIP points. There are some Legoland Windsor exclusive sets but otherwise I didn't think it was any better than a 'normal' Lego store.

The exclusive castle set 40952 isn't just sold at Legoland Windsor - I bought it at the discovery centre in Birmingham. The discovery centre also had previous years' Legoland sets such as the driving school, the entrance portal etc, so don't feel like you have to buy them because you're there: https://brickset.com/sets/theme-Promotional/subthe...

Working Lego pinball machine for £190, anyone?

I'm tempted by this to go in the display with the PacMan set...

I'd need to be able to stand it up through, having it in the "playable" orientation means it wouldn't fit in the Billy Bookcase I have!

Did you build it with the 'illegal' technique for the headlight bricks or adjust it? I haven't built mine yet but I'm not sure if I'll stick to the instructions - probably only if I am going to take it apart fairly quickly.

Illegal? Not sure what you mean. Seemed to go together fine.

Some nice stuff out in June.



Next build is either the triceratops or the wet beaver sea otter.

Still not built my model t as I’m waiting on wicked brink to send out my order for the display box.
They are a terrible company for getting back to you or evens sending out your order. I always vow ipnever to use them again but do. This is the very last time.

I really like the large scale Mustang and Camaro models but hadn’t really kept an eye on the Icons series so missed the Cobra, Countach and 911 models. Duly rectified with an order last night, only shame is they’re not all to the same scale.

So cute

Bought my girlfriend the Lewis helmet when it released, after starting it the other week she got to the end only to find something had come loose and she needed to start again. After her second (successful) attempt she's now decided Lego is her new "thing" and she's been asking what else she can build, eyeing up my large sets

I pointed her in the direction of all the smaller ones I've bought her over the last 20 years so she's cracking on with those, plus the Hoonicorn which I donated as it doesn't take up much space.

At least I won't now get as m in grief (hopefully) when she finds the sets I've hidden

How is it all as model? Any play value once built or pure shelf queen

It’s pretty good. Fairly robust. The roof you have to take a bit of care with folding it.

I really like that, I'm hoping that they do Pirate / Soldier and Robin Hood / Knight themed ones as well!

They've already done a pirate - https://legohouse.com/en-gb/press-releases/a-minif... - but limited to selling only at the Lego House in Denmark. I got one a year or so ago for about £90 delivered but they've gone up since then. Still worth keeping an eye open to buy at a sensible price.

I've just finished building the 3 new speed champion sets above, really liked the supra and the hoonicorn

Bricklink Designer Programme series 11 sets were announced a couple of days ago.

On the upside, not really liking any of them will save me a good chunk!
