I went on the Lego site to buy the 'Everyone is Awesome' set but also got distracted by Speed Champions and if you spent £40 you got a free McLaren Elva....



I like the 8 wide size even if it doesn't match the older Speed Champion sets, it won't match the Mustang. Don't like the all in one wheels & tyres but the wheel trims are quite effective.

Really tempted to rebuild it in red...

I got that set a couple of weeks ago and the Jesko this weekend - I like the Jesko, but I'm not bothered about the Corvette, something about it doesn't seem right.

I don't like the all in one wheels either - I didn't emjoy putting the tyres on, but I preferred that to these new wheels...

I got the free McLaren Elva with my typewriter, to be fair it's only matchbox size laugh

The Falcon is getting close to being finished yay! Its not got any smaller or lighter and as to hanging one from a wall the way the outer panels attach it would just fall apart. Good job I'm single though as where it is now is where its going to stay, if I wasn't single I probably wouldn't be far off!

Also did the Friends apartments but only recently got some photos (found it tricky to photograph the details closeup with a phone camera...)

Nice to see some decent photos of the Apartments set and I like all of the thought and details.

My wife didn't watch Friends first time around and is currently wading through it (S9 E13) and is loving it. I am going to be earning top husband points when she finishes and I present her with this set to build. She already has Central Perk (+ various other sets), so this will compliment it nicely.

It's definitely a great set for fans of the show. I think I slightly prefer the build / aesthetic of Central Perk, but being a bigger set the Apartments have more details and little hints at different episodes / plots, so it's nice to have both.

The build on that typewriter looks incredible, biggest mix of Technic and Creator I've seen in a single set.

A working lighthouse has just been approved through Ideas, looks really nice.

Is it much different to the original “big” MF from some years ago?

It's a got a few interior bits to look at, few strength improvements and there's more interest in terms of the external colours used to provide variations for the panels.

It looks great as a finished model, got mine displayed on one of these https://www.wickedbrick.com/products/display-stand...
Was a bit hair raising getting it mounted up though.

Very much like. Starting smooching the wife now for that purchase! She will kill me if I ask for forgiveness. She will kill me twice if I ask for permission.

I get the nervousness about mounting the model too…… I dropped the Eiffel Tower 10181 not so long ago when moving rooms. I labelled as the Brickport Earthquake of 2021!

So, MF and the typewriter. If I don’t post for a while, the wife has found out!!
