Hoping this mini figure scale Gemini capsule goes ahead.

Oh my god that pirate one looks awesome! Perfectly timed release with payday too laugh

Just a heads-up, Debenhams have up to 30% off quite a few sets, might be worth a check if you're planning a purchase..

I've been having a sort out and rebuild too (including some of the kids' builds) - Am disappointed in my Police Sea Plane as it is heat and sun damaged and now falls apart if you give it a stern look. Some of this is what I bought from a PHer a couple of years ago and it turns out that the Peroxide sun damage repair that I discovered is only partially effective long term. Definite improvement at least. Turns out that this isn't even close to all that I have as there's a very large box full of bits - And 4 small boxes full - And stuff in my son's bedroom - And a couple of boxes not built - and the Delorean/Ecto 1 kept well away from the main lego - And stuff in my daughter's bedroom.

Damn you with 30% off!






Must. Not. Buy. This...

I've snagged the Mini Cooper S / MINI JCW Buggy set off Debenhams, only a few left in stock apparently, something to kill time during the day laugh

I am far too excited for this, as a kid I had the original black seas barracuda which my dad mostly built for me so this will be a great one to build with my son.
As someone who still has a barracuda on display and also has almost every decent pirate set from the 80s to early 90s in the loft I am very excited about this set!

It looks great, fun, nostalgic and well designed. I buy very few modern sets but that one is a must.

And my employer just announced 3 months of salary reductions. So today is going well laugh

Is it a Lego Store exclusive? If so your only bet might be to pay over the odds on ebay..

Anoher recent purchase & build.... It's a very well designed and detailed set, a must for any fan of plastic bricks and the red side of Manchester!

That does look cool. I'm surprised they didn't choose Wembley Stadium? Could have the moveable roof etc. as part of the design..

Built the Mini / MINI set yesterday (finally turned up, Hermes delivered it 2 streets away, luckily the homeowner re-delivered it for me beer)...

Good little box for the price, the sprung suspension on the buggy was a nice feature.

Likewise, might have been one of the first things I did this morning.

There's a lego shop/experience place that was supposed to be opening in a month or two near me. This appeared outside the other day.
