It does seem random delivery times. Ordered the Landspeeder Monday and it arrived Thursday.

The Muppets look good. As someone mentioned I also get the full set from fleabay and the frames from the same store as linked previously. You pay a premium for the set but at least there is no duplicates and no messing about.

Has anybody got both the T1 and T2 campers please, just wondering how the T2 looks against the earlier van.

Are they around the same size.

The old one is great but the newer one's reviews were pretty awful. I skipped it as a result.

Continuing on a recent theme of vintage (90s) sets, I managed to complete my Res-Q collection. I am still technically missing one, 2962, which was a promotional set. I'm sure I'll be able to get my hands on it at some point, but I'm not paying £40+ when more than half is postage from America.





Seeing as my birthday is upcoming, and it's the first time I've seen one below £100 for quite some time, I decided to treat myself to 6543 Fly 'n' Sail Marina. A set I had as a child, but it ended up mixed in with general Lego/lost.

Has anyone got any muppets mini-figs yet? If so, is there a code of some sort on the packet to identify the character? I'm after "Animal" for Mrs Ash (he's the only one she'd want), so wondered if there was an easy of finding him (without going to the nearest Lego store to ask).
I've just fished through my desk bin and found out 2 empty packets. Both have exactly the same codes on them. The bar-code is the same, and there seems to be a production code which is the same on both packets (09S2).

Animal looks like it's the one with most components, so select the fattest packet smile

Alternatively, use the toyshop in Sidmouth, as one of their assistants had a 100% success rate in predicting the minifigs (by feeling the packets) for my children about 10 years ago! Perhaps they still have the magic fingers?
Excellent, thanks for the info, I had heard that some stores were able to separate them and know what you were getting with previous mini-fig collections, I'd assumed the bags were coded, but if it's just a case of "copping a feel", I'll try that.
Thanks all.

I had that Fly-Sail Marina set, that was a great one.

I'm sure I've still got most of the bits of it floating around in the kids boxes if I ever wanted to reconstruct it.

Getting there.

It’s a lovely build. Couple of weak points but from the looks of it the bits are secured down later in the build.

Excellent. Probably buy two and make a whole big one though.

Why the effing jeffin won't Lego allow you to pre-order/pay for the Delorean?

Mised the first batch and have had notifications setup since. 3 times now the notifications have either come in late at night (after bed) or 4 in the morning.

Even though I check in at about 7:30 AM they're always sold out by the time I've logged in.

GRRRR!!!

Was hoping to snag one for my son's 17th next week, but looks like no chance of that frown

Ironically I ordered Red Five Helmet, Mandalorian Helmet and Lukes Landspeeder only late yesterday!

Fantastic build. The mechanism that turns and moves the roller is genius.

It's another of those sets where they have added a few studs here and there to show it's made of Lego when they could have easily used tiles.
