Latest LEGO Purchases

It was my 30th a few weeks ago and my girlfriend wasnt working at the time so couldnt get me anything, and she got her paycheck last week from her new job and after a few days hinted she had got me something from it. After a few days of teasing me about what she got me, "rocket ship", "submarine", etc, today after a few drinks she said "plane" and then tried to take it back. It turns out she has gotten me this:



The cargo plane. :D:D:D

It should be arriving by post any day now. I'll post up pics when I get it.

Looking at this thread makes me so jealous! I have sets in my parents house for years ago, with partially missing pieces, must see if I can find them! Had airport, two police stations (one had a separate jail cell!) and a fire station.

Where does everyone keep their completed builds or do you just un-build them?

HorseSea

I think most people unbuild them, personally once they are built once they go in with all the other LEGO parts, very few sets are kept separate, I just don't have the space.

Necronomicon

I have all my prized ones on display, have limited space in my current living situation so I have a bit of rotation going on.

I'm normally only a Technics man, but I pulled the trigger on 10244 The Fairground Mixer today, it looks like great fun to build

Hi again everybody, fixed up my Batman set with parts from Brick Owl! Check it out on Adverts.ie. Also, I am looking for a large set, preferably a modular. Trades anybody?

NinjaTruncs

Added the Container Truck to the collection last week, it's the first of this years sets that I've purchased. I fear the summer will be an expensive time for me as I try to catch up. Along with the release of the 2014 flagships models.

Couldn't resist buying this one recently! Have it in a cabinet now beside a load of Nanoblocks sets which makes it look massive!

Well done on actually getting it. I've never actually seen it available for sale on S&H, it seems to be constantly sold out.

HorseSea

It looks great in the photos. The stickers put me off though - I hate stickers.

Looking forward to the new Lego City Artic theme sets coming out, going to pick up 60035 first I reckon, looks great.

Yeah it wasn't in stock when I ordered either, but I decided I'd be happy enough to wait a month or two and be surprised when it showed up!

Completely agree, and when I was making the giant crane last year I never put any stickers on it. Longer term they just flake away and look terrible. However, I think this set would be fairly lost without them! The branding actually looks good on the containers and you need it for the display plaque too! Took a while though as each work Maersk is a separate sticker!

NinjaTruncs

It looks really good, but there are so many containers they could have justified printing Maersk onto them. How long is the completed set, looks quite long.

From memory I think the box said about 60cm length. At first I was disappointed making the base as I thought it'd look longer, but once it was built up I was a lot more impressed. First non-technic model I've made in years bar my wedding cake display!

I got 1030+1031 & 1032+1033 on ebay recently. They tend to be arond €150 on bricklink but I was the only bidder £15 each! Postage was a bit expensive.

I got 852 about 2 weeks ago. Nice but smells of pipe smoke which I hope will wear off!
I built 857 recently from scraps and bricklink parts orders.
I am working on 8858 from parts, no rush! Real versions tend to be very expensive.

Early birthday presents are the best!

Having a lego store half way between my boyfriends house and mine is actually just evil. Every time I go I spend way too much time in there and way too much money. My current purchases...

1) lego mixer



2) vw campervan



3) ghostbusters



I'm gonna be building for a long time!

I'm moving in 2 months and got the simpsons house and 2 modulars as well to move. Thank god for those brick separators. Makes disassembling it a lot easier

REally want that Ghostbusters car!

Just bought The Lord Businesses Evil lair and the super cycle chase in Argos. After reductions and vouchers, I only paid 80 euro for them. BARGAIN ALERT! The two sets include all the key minifigures: Emmett, Wyldstyle, Vitruvius, Lord Business, Uni Kitty and about ten miscellaneous others. Delighted with these two fantastic sets. Also, Lego batman 2006 set has been reduced to 100 EURO FREE POSTAGE. Rare set that looks great on display. One of these sold on ebay sold for 130 without a box recently. Check out the adverts ad for more details. Happy building guys!

Very taken with this - back to the 80's

Bought metal beards duel, the melting room and waiting for a response on a few movie polybags and figures. EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!!

Got Anakin's Jedi Interceptor and Grevious Wheel Bike for E20 each in Smyths during the week. The Interceptor is cool if fairly unremarkable, but the wheel bike is great, very posable with the four legs and the big wheel in the centre gives it a sort of Steampunk feel almost, wasn't expecting to be as taken with it as I am.

And Maggie makes sixteen. This is the first CMF line that I've completed. No real interest in doing that before. I've also been extremely lucky with them. They're really easy to discern, but 11 blind picks from four different stores resulted in only one duplicate. I managed to pick up 5 braves in a recent set, practically had a reservation there.

Also, Ecto 1 arrived.

I bought the Ghostbusters set as a late birthday present for my son (age 29 )
He was chuffed, major brownie points for me.

Tempted to get this. Reminded me of the space ship set I had as a kid. (497 based on a quick bing).

Got the full range of 8 (including 30310) and made them all this weekend. They are all cool, love the snow plows and the tracked drilling truck.

Considering making a 'diorama' for the range.
