The LEGO Corner

Depends on what you mean by 'knock-off' and the context of the post

Custom Lego is cool - especially minifig's where people have printed new stuff and accessories that Lego would never make (guns and the like) - that's where I think something isn't pretending to be official and is it's own thing - there are some amazing things out there.

Seeing 'knock-off' clone brands which are just ripping of Lego is interesting just to know what is out there, but the issue with clone's is the same as repro stuff - it is fake and there are too many people who know it and still try to pass it off as the real thing.

Saw some knock off lego minifigures at the weekend and to be fair, they were hard to differentiate from legit Lego apart from the plastic used is a bit shinier.

This looks absolutely brilliant, a must buy surly.

Some nice looking SW sets heading our way as well.

For anyone that is interested…

Almost all my Lego has gone to Vectis and will be auctioned on 7.8.24.
The auction catalog is now live and taking bids.
Please feel free to make huge bids so that I can retire in the style that I've become accustomed to.
Many thanks in advance.

What a set this is going to be, and a reasonable (for Lego) price too.



If only I still collected Lego…perhaps I could start a new collection?

Definitely one I'm adding to the list of things to get!

I took advantage of the Lego sale at Argos to grab this today. I'll post build pics as and when I get around to it.

I saw that, looks like it will be a great build.

Are you a MISB collector or a builder?

 

[lejackal]

I've still got the space shuttle and Concorde to build. Should have focused on them before buying another set but there you go.

 

[lejackal]

Has anyone built the Home Alone house? Good build?

Builder for sure

I have. Enjoyed building it. Even bought the light and sound kit!

 

[lejackal]

Super. I've eyed it up for a year or two, I feel this year is now or never.

 

[sith-smith]

I started building it while watching home alone on Christmas day '23.

I built my UCS AT AT. And then it collapsed!
