Just by way of PSA, Quidco cashback on purchases via the Lego website is up to 5% from the usual 3% for the next few days.

Thanks for the prompt - I'd never even realised it was usually 3%. Always forget to check! I'd already ordered the Millennium Falcon which is still a great deal.

Merlin gave 10% off in the lego gift shop when I was member. Might have changed of course.

Cool cheers. How utterly bizarre though that the Lego store in Windsor is not run by Lego and won't accept Lego cards! It's a Legoland FFS!

The Lego store here at Disney Springs accepts the VIP card/points etc and also allows 10% discount to Disney Annual Pass holders on Disney based Lego products.

Have you been to the Windsor one? There's hardly any lego content there once you've been through the small world Miniland bit, other than the odd sign with a sticker of a lego man head on it, and what there is is so faded after being abandoned by Lego group when they sold the place in 2005!

When was the last time you visited? There's a complete Star Wars installation with tonnes of Lego in it. I've been an annual pass holder for a good few years now and they do keep the park updated, albeit looking a bit jaded in places - but all theme parks are like that.

No, I haven't been there yet. I went to the original one in Denmark as a kid and would like to go to the one out here (though from the flyers I've seen it does look quite "childish" (I don't have any kids)).
Out of Interest Stig, how much is an annual pass?

In effect, our passes have been 'free'. Collected enough Tesco Club Card points to get two adult and two kids passes (ironically not accrued enough this year yet and the old passes expired shortly after the park opened for the 2017 season).

Legoland normally do a deal when the park is closed before Christmas. The shop is still open and if you spend a certain amount (think £80-90 last time I saw it) you get a free pass (just for legoland) for the next season

Not very realistic - the spectators appear to be behind a chain fence...

It's all about R2-D2 (and the mini beatle).

Just got the mini R2 with the new snow speeder.
Kept the Mrs happy for 10 mins.

Cool thank, and cheers to the poster below to say about getting a free pass with a spend at the Legoland Lego Shop.

R3-M2 with any LEGO Star Wars purchase from LEGO while stocks last or until the 31st? of May.

Treated myself to a few things in the 40% off May 4th offers. No idea where it's all going to live when it's built.

Anyone interested in this http://www.bricktoynews.com/lego-carousel-10257-se... will go nice with my feris wheel & fairground mixer

I went shopping to buy a couple pairs of shorts and MAYBE (money is a bit tight ATM) a pair of sunglasses (for my holidays) and came home with a couple pairs of shorts, a pair of sunglasses, and the Nasa Apollo Saturn V set from the Lego Store.

Was just passing the store so casually asked the guy on the front door if they had a set in... his face lit up and he was around the back quicker than I could say "please don't let me buy it".

Something to do over the weekend. It does look great, though!

Got this today, nice build and not too many stickers.

I bought mine from the Lego site last night as soon as the option to buy came up. Got an e-mail saying this morning saying delayed due to being sold out .

I suspect demand may be higher than anticipated.

Just went out in my lunchbreak looking for it, not a single one in the city yet

might pick one up tonight if i have the time to swing by another shop, they tend to have a better inventory, so might actually have sets on release.

I did the same - ordered 2 Saturn V rockets and 1 new Speed Champions McLaren 720S.
Luckily got an email tonight saying they had been shipped.

This looks amazing - I remember seeing it on the ideas website but never thought it would get released. I can't wait
