It's this, but throughout July not March like it says there, and in store only now.

Cheers, I realised they must have come back, I have a few of them already.

Oh wow - I had the original one. Think my mum still has it (in bits) somewhere

Wow...

Won't be on any of the legit Lego news sites as it's technically still a leak, but Lego themselves have teased the outline of it so it's genuine.

That looks very cool but there's an irony that the plastic brick version of an old console will cost you as much as buying an actual new current console...!

OK, so that's a NEED

Add it to my list of summer building .......

I think the scenery might scroll when you turn the TV Knob?

Brilliantly, not only is it a Nintendo, it’s connected to the TV we had when I was growing up. Where do I sign up?

First lego thing I've built in around 30 years besides helping the kids a few years back. I can see why this is addictive.

And I converted it to right hand drive!

Now, about that rough terrain crane....

Yu, and the new Mario figure interacts with it.

£209.99.

May just be the one single Lego set I want more than any before.

So

Much

Want

Having a lot of fun with this at the moment...

A sparkler, a red light torch and a minifigure suspended on a wire...




Suspended on a wire...




A small section of bedroom built and lots of carefully positioned phone/torch lights...




Compressed air and dirt...

This weeks task was to fill an IKEA display case with a Lego sea for the Steamboat Willie set.





I thought 1,676 round 1 x 1 pieces would be sufficient. Oh how wrong I was!

So 6,778 more bricks are on their way to me from all round the world to complete this task I could have got a very nice Lego set for the price I’ve paid for these pieces

However when the misses found out how much I paid I got “that’s ok they keep their value them bricks, I paid more than that on some art last week”

I wonder how long she was originally planning on saving that one for

These are great, surprising how well it works.

Do you have a Flickr page? I know lots of Lego obsessed people who I think would like those!

Yup: https://www.flickr.com/photos/harry_s/albums/72157...

I had some 'atmosphere in a can' arrive today so that'll be fun to play around with when the sun is out.

Those action shots are great!

Saw this on Reddit, MOC of the Quadra car from Cyberpunk 2077!

I ordered one of these lamps at the end of May. It hasn't arrived yet and I can't wait!

What did you order and where from please..?

It was an advert on Facebook, these guys https://allstarview.com/products/apollo-space-rock... - NB this isn't a recommendation yet but I'm not naming and shaming either

Well I am! I ordered one on the 20th June. Delivery made today while I was at work, so I've come home to find they've sent me a Chinese knock off Saturn V rocket and not a lamp! Very, very annoyed!

Oh dear, I took a punt on one as well - but it sounds like mine won't be any better then - I'll try and refuse the delivery in the first instance in order to get it refunded immediately by PayPal. Sounds like it's 'significantly not as described' anyway! Ordered on the 17th June and it's still in Russia apparently... Did you pay with PayPal, ie. can you get them to sort it out?

Even more annoyingly I actually cancelled the order before it shipped but they ignored every email. Can you post pics of what was sent?

[ch37]

Turns out fog in a can and sparklers really don't mix, started a small fire today!

Thankfully Rescue survived and I got the shot...
