It's one way to persuade your Mrs about Lego

My wife wasn’t thrilled when I put this Lego Millennium Falcon on our wedding registry. To not seem completely self-indulgent, I told her I’d wait until we had kids to build it. Today, after 10 patient years, the adventure begins.

I never knew Jadlam did bundle deals on the Speed Champions stuff. Now if only Lego would release more than 2 or 3 desirable ones a year instead of the crap limited edition concept car type things that you wouldn’t recognise on the street, let alone in Lego form.

Titanic Museum in Southampton have a Lego thing going on at the moment, retired sets for sale there too. Surprisingly, as it's unusual to find a bargain these days, they had some Star Wars sets up for grabs comfortably below actual sold eBay prices.

Do you know if it’s on tomorrow and do you have to buy a ticket to get in to the seacity museum to access it?

My wife went down with my son today as I'm at a wedding, I believe you need a ticket for the museum and it's part of that.

They only sent me a few that were in his price range so no idea what else they had, he just said lots of 'old and rare' stuff. I think he's come back with the Mandalorian Armoury/Forge set, and knowing how much money he took with him it cost roughly the same as the Armorer minifig costs alone. I also saw some Last Jedi/Rise of Skywalker sets in his photos.

What’s the museum like?

We’re planning on a long weekend in Belfast later this year and it’s definitely on the ‘possible things to do’ list.

Never been to Belfast but really looking forward to it.

The Titanic museum is in Southampton, in what used to be the old Civic offices.

Yeah, still in the outer box with a suspicious wife occasionally asking what's inside...

I built the Magical Unicorn yesterday. It's ace, and is now on the shelf behind me in the office so that everyone on my Zoom and Teams calls can admire it too.

This.

Lego are really starting to take the p now, as they're seeing a lot of adult collectors getting involved.


...which is a massive bloody headache when it's your kid who's the main collector in the house. That's >2 years pocket money for the lad, and it's WELL out of birthday present range.
