My latest lego sets...

 

[MrGudz]

May or may not be this years May 4th UCS set. I'm tempted as I foolishly sold the previous release…..

I think I will have to wait and see on the X-Wing - luckily I have the older. But with the rumour mill swirling around a major Clone Wars wave later in the year....
UCS Venetor Class - c£650 (although we have also had the rumour the big UCS could be a sail barge....)
The Ghost and a T-6 Shuttle (from the upcoming Ashoka show)
Republic Gunship

That is a lot of lego and a lot of cash.....

Oh and in classic Lego Land - an updated Eldorado Fort from the Pirate line......

Man Lego is killing me....

A couple of years ago my sister gave me a ton of Lego for my kids that belonged to my niece and nephew. They were born in 93' and 96' so loads of sets from the late 90's/early 00's. It was all mixed up in one huge bag and we had no idea what was there. At some point I sorted it out a bit and took out all the blocks and plates etc. We've built a few things with it but my kids have hardly played with it and they have a lot of their own sets anyway. So the other week I decided to try and identify some sets browsing online. Discovered there's quite a few Harry Potter sets and some Star Wars! My daughter and I picked the parts and built the Hogwarts Express, Knight Bus, Dumbledores Office, Escape from Privet Drive and a set with a big black spider. I then identified and built an original Tie Bomber which is complete, a couple of Tusken Encounter sets, an Obi Wan Starfighter and a Gungan patrol with a few parts missing. There's definitely many more sets I haven't identified yet, it's quite enjoyable discovering what they are and building them and all the more cool they were my Nephs.

Fantastic, that must have been a big load if Lego to get those sets out of it.

Just bought a job lot and have a few sets from the 70's/80's/90's to move on- general town stuff really. Anyone here collect it or should I just hit Facebook and or eBay?

Those will sell well…so iconic of their time.

Great set…and probably worth a pretty penny now.

Certainly goes for a few quid on eBay. For me it's a nice bit of entertainment for my youngest and keeps him away from my Discovery.

Took the plunge on this when Argos dropped the price. Worth it at £45 but I'd have struggled to justify it at the RRP

I really like these dioramas That Lego are doing. The new Emperors Throne Room looks really nice.

Love seeing some of that 'vintage' lego - the sets were basic by comparison to today - yet almost perfect - the shuttle is a real charmer

However, looking forward to this weekend - May 1st is when the promo's start and a fair bit of Jedi 40th Lego going on sale (albeit some of it pushing the boundaries on the price front)....

I really don't want to spend £67 just to get the speederbike and figs

What's the chances they release them as a small set without the frame and trees?

I'll end up buying this just to get them because it will really finish of a shelf in my room so if anyone wants the background let me know
