No, the whole architecture rnge is targetted at adults I think? And a lot of the Creator Expert sets (modular buildings etc) are also labelled 16+ but they know full well it's mostly adults that buy those. Nobody else would have the disposable cash to buy those, build them once and then leave them sitting there in a streetscape for ever.

I daresay some of the mega sized Star Wars stuff is priced and aimed at adults too.

James Bond 007 Lego, bit missing.
My son is pretty methodical when building Lego and was totally distraught last night when he couldn't find a specific part, it's a common part around the kit but one part short it would seem. Never had this before.
It's the curved part that forms the front wings and rear boot lid.
Bit from the bootlid in the photo.
Pic for guidance.
Where do I write to get a replacement please.

They are very good at sorting things like that.

We got a Minifig that had no legs so I contacted LEGO. E-mail back within a day saying they couldn’t send the missing bit because they don’t bag the figs themselves (or something) but they’d send a new Minifig. A week later a packet with 2 Minifigs arrives, airmailed from the Netherlands to Australia.

New Lamborghini Speed Champions set coming on Jan 1. Looks good, but a bit punchy for a 2 car set @ £54.99, given that the similar Jaguar set is £34.99. Looks like 8 stud width models is the new standard.

Late notice but for anyone near Bristol my local Adult Lego group (GertLUG) is organising the Bristol brick show which is on this weekend. 10-5 both days.

It's going to be pretty big this year with 250 displayers and traders and definitely worth a visit if you're free or have little kids.

All for 2 really good charities as well!

With Christmas around the corner and a Lego decision to be made which would you go for?

Which of the Star Wars UCS sets would you go for, anybody got all 3?
Y-Wing
Tantive IV
Snowspeeder (appears to be retired)

or the Lunar Lander?

Thanks, that was the direction I was heading. thumbup
I'll be heading to the new Lego store in Southampton, so it'll depend on what they have, I am fairly happy with any of the above either way. but the Y-Wing will likely be my first choice.

I’m assuming they’re more pieces and higher cost now?

Maybe we'll get more Group B cars (I hope!). There's a nice 205 T16 in the Ideas process
