I love the Solo Speeder, that looks really cool. 8)

I really enjoyed it. And although people often say Lego is expensive I think for what you actually get it's not too bad. This was £20 on Amazon, it's got three bags with **** loads of bits in and takes a good while to build. We did the Rey speeder and now this. I think I'm gonna just pick up the odd small speeder/vehicle set and build them!

Everythings expensive these days! For what you get it's not to bad really. Both my kids love Lego and I think it's the best value toy because they play with it over and over.

Hogwarts is getting close now.
Bit of tinkering with the castle and the. Some focus no the quiditch pitch and hut...

 

[monkey_roo]

Beginning to deal with the quidditch pitch.
A bit larger than planned....

 

[Palifan]

These HP sets are massive, my son would love playing with that.

Looking good

Ian

Well, I learnt a massive lesson about lego over the past week.

I have started to buy and build the modular buildings. I was in the Brighton lego store about 3/4 weeks ago and noticed brick bank was on its way out. They had loads, and I didn't have the spare dough so I left it there.

Can't get one for less than £100 over rrp now. I had no idea they would go so quickly and sell out so quickly.

So a friend of mine spots one on Facebook. It's used but one of a number of modular buildings this guy is selling. He wants £100 for the set and instructions, which seems fair. I ask all the pertinent questions, is it complete, is it real, is it played with, are all the mini figures there, are any bricks discoloured and so on and so on.

All the answers come back good. He sends me some pictures of his collection, all built and nicely displayed. Only built once, displayed behind plastic to stop dust, never played with and I even have found the box. So down to his house I go.

The sets all bagged up and ready to go. He's even gone through the inventory and checked it the day before, so I pay him the money and off I go.

That night I started sorting it. I separated all the colours out and immediately bells start ringing as there is clearly some lego that is not genuine in there. Once I had separated the colours I decided that I would go through all the pieces and see what was what. I have a magnifying glass, a tiny hand held microscope and a strong led light.

I probably sorted through the first 100 pieces and at least 15% were fake. Not all the same fakes either. I didn't really know how to spot fake lego. An hour with that set was an education. Luckily, I have a lot of real spare pieces to reference and I quickly learnt how easy a fake would be to spot.

I sent the seller a pretty terse message and to be fair, he quickly got back to me and offered a refund. He apologised and played it dumb but it was pretty obvious he was lying when he said he had disassembled the set and packed it straight away. It was either missing a lot of pieces or, what's more likely, got broken down into a container with a lot of mixed lego and then the set was just made up from the inventory.

The moral of the story is don't buy second hand lego, and if you do, check it before you take it.

Now, if anyone sees a brick bank for sale for rrp or close (129.99), can you tap me up please.

How lego has changed...fake lego! Next you will be telling me they have garlic on bread!
On serious note, enlightening even when I havent one piece of lego. Whats a brick bank then?

I was so intrigued I googled it and understand now it is actually a "bank" building. Thought it was like a collection of rare pieces but its actually looks a complex build.

 

[robpmarsh]

Bought a few new sets recently

 

[Robstyley]

Bought a new set recently:Millennium Falcon. It's so great!

That's a monster that big Falcon, would love to build something like that.

 

[Robstyley]

We just did a little Yodas hut build my daughter and I. Cool set! Really enjoying building lego. Might have a go at something bigger sometime.

 

[sith-smith]

Yoda's hut looks to be a good build

I've now started the long journey of building these...

[Mini99]

Has anyone pre ordered the new Ideas Flintstones set yet?
Available for VIP Menbers now.

 

[Palifan]

I'm not so sold on the mini figs for this set or house even though I thought i was a nice idea. I don't think they pulled it off as well as they could have but it'll be interesting to see how it sells.

Ian

 

[Mini99]

I have ordered it as I hoping that it will look better in hand.
Should be here today, so I'll let you know.

 

[monkey_roo]

Likewise - i think they missed a trick not including the sign, but overall the set looks fun, the figures look great and i think it will be lovely, and at 55 it really is great value for an ideas license set... Looking forward to building it tonight

 

[robpmarsh]

No way I was paying £300 for the SDCC set.....bricklinked for £20.....just need better tiles on the sides.
