Love the vintage space lego. Am trying to put together a complete boxed set of it! 8)

Have totally gone for it on the Winter Village stuff...probably because it's building up to Christmas and it's affecting me!!

Have got 4 of the promo sets, plus the Bakery, cottage and toy shop. Waiting on the post office now, though that seems to be the most expensive.

Will get the two still available on the lego store but waiting to see if they'll do another special offer

Just had a lovely afternoon making up this cracking wee set.
The more sets I build the more I'm getting into Lego.
Great to build, great to display
Tomorrow its ecto1

 

[JuniorChubb]

Nice db 8)

Very cool set.

Anyone care to admit to a Star Wars lego advent calendar?

 

[JuniorChubb]

I've got a chocolate one at work

The Lego ones are too pricey for the shite that they contain.

Admit to it, I have two in the house. my son and I have one each and my daughter has a freinds one. We have them each year, the rock....

Glad I'm not the only one. Disappointed that only 4 days in I have another frigging destroyer droid though!

I've been tempted, but decided against

The son has one and the girls both have the Friends one, we all think they are great Lego is great

 

[sith-smith]

Lego is awesome

Helped repair my cognitive ability after a brain injury.

Love the stuff

Just have way too much of it now and seem to be buying more of it each week.

Now hooked on the modular sets.

Dont collect Lego but them figures look awesome really nice collection mate 8)

Those modulars are lovely, the detectives office for next year looks great. Luckily I didn't get into those when they first arrived a few years back, because if I had I would have even less dosh and no space. A friend of mine in the US has one of each so far and has it laid out as a full city street with a Horizon Express train running round it, looks awsome.

 

[sith-smith]

I have the three that are currently being sold

It's the four that they no longer sell that are going to costly!! :?

 

[monkey_roo]

There are 10 modulars, 9 past and 1 for next year.

Cafe corner: 10182 (2007)
Market Street: 10190 (2007)
Green Grocer:10185 (2008)
Fire brigade:10197 (2009)
Grand Emporium: 10211 (2010)
Pet Shop:10218 (2011)
Town Hall:10224 (2012
Palace Cinema: 10232 (2013)
Parisian Resturant: 10243 (2014)
Detectives Office: 10246 (2015)

Back on the Star Wars front, today news broke that next August will see an ultimate Tie-Fighter, set number 75095, somewhere around the £200 mark we are told, maybe. Much needed

 

[sith-smith]

I fear these modular sets are going to be painful to buy!

 

[monkey_roo]

They will indeed, those two 2007 sets go for hundreds... But the end result would look fantastic and the more of these that come out the more you will want the older ones to complete the run.

Lovely review of the Jan 1st Slave 1 up on Brickset, this is a day one must buy set... - http://brickset.com/article/13331/review-75060-slave-1

I bought those 2007 sets for my Dad for Chrimbo some years ago. Think they were about £80 each if memory serves - he's got some lovely lego sets including some Star Wars - dread to think what they're going for now!
