Picked this up last week. Thoroughly enjoyable build, the landing gear is class...

Very nice. Have a real weakness for technic aircraft myself.

It was a really enjoyable build, I like the older technic stuff. Just can't warm to the modern style. Have 6 technic models from the 90's now. Not sure which set to look around for next.

The two attached were great.

Yep, got it the week it was released. I have the Simpsons House too and there are so many little details in both. I'd definitely recommend either of them.

The only problem is finding somewhere to put all this Lego stuff.

Ohhhh fingers crossed it's happening.

I'm hoping to get Slave I off the family for Christmas and have my own eye on some of the Star Wars, TFA and bigger Technic sets (Crawler Crane, AROCs etc).

Tell me about it! I need a spare room. Or a home office with lots of shelves!

I got the Lego Simpsons House back when it came out, was a little undersized but was fun building it, only seen Smyths got the Mart when I was getting Wall-E, I'll pick it up then when I see a sale as €200 is a bit much I feel.

Also yes, need more room!

Saw this Lego Chima 5 pack on sale in Heatons today reduced from supposedly €80 to €40, anyone reckon it's good value? I've seen one for sale on Adverts already for €65...

Picked one up myself after missing out on the Littlewoods deal, also got the Technic Arctic Truck and the Vader & Greivous battle figures, If I like them after making 'em I'll probably get the other 4 but at the moment the jury is out on them.

Do share your like/dislike, I'm holding off on them for now, I'm not convinced (yet)

Don't mind those two at all. Cody seems okay from the front as well, but the rest are the stuff of nightmares.

SMC92Ian · 19-09-2015 7:40am

Smyths sale is great, I picked up a lot of the bigger sets, built the Tumbler yesterday, my friend was a help, she was sorting out all the bits which I never do, I usually dump them in a big pile and just go haha it was a fun build and bigger than I expected.

NinjaTruncs · 19-09-2015 10:51am

So I built both of the battle figures last night. I wasn't that impressed with the Vader build, however the finished model is really cool. If you want it as a display piece you'll be very happy with the finished model. If you're buying it for the build I'd give it a miss.

Greivous was much more fun to build and looks great finished. It was always the one that stood out as looking the most suited to these types of sets.

I doubt I'll get the other four, unless I can pick them up for half price. I don't particularly like the look of them and I'm not a huge fan of the building of them.

I really hope they come out with a second series with CP3-0 and R2-D2 (although I'm not sure R2-D2 will work with these systems).

Greg81 · 19-09-2015 3:58pm

I just bought Obi Wan. Jango and Luke are still missing from my collection. I am buying as a display models so I am very happy.

how old are you that your parents are getting you lego for x mas and your birthday, you must be over 18 to have a creditcard right?

I was asked what I wanted for my Christmas and Birthday presents, I told them, went and bought the items. They'll be put away until the dates and the parentals will give me the cash for them. Simples.

Saves them having to buy something they think I'd like & the hassle of having to go out and get it. Plus 20% saved in the sale and everyone's happy.

This is the Lego forum, a lot of people here will be getting Lego for Christmas and/or birthdays and are even over 18. I'm in my forties and have gotten Lego either as a Christmas or birthday present for the last few years.

Ermmmm, I'm afraid to look at the receipt and online credit card statement

Wow, that's €819.90 - 20% = €655.92 and I thought I'd spent a lot in Smyths last weekend (Pet Shop, Millennium Falcon, Emmet's Construct-o-mech, Beach Hut and a load of Mixels).

I suppose if you look at it as saving €163.98, that would seem alright....wouldn't it?

SMC92Ian · 23-09-2015 10:17am

See Argos is doing a 3 for 2 now, might pick up the bigger Lego sets.

I was looking at maybe picking up some Star Wars stuff but the Argos prices are crazy on a lot of the sets compared to smyths. Really, really over-priced. I dont know how much saving you'd make on buying three for two.

New millenium falcon is 131.99 in smyths...its 191.99 in argos!!!!!!!
AT-AT is 129.99 in Smyths compared to Argos' 162.49 !!!!!
Snowspeeder is 39.99 in Smyths...51.49 in Argos.

And the list goes on.

:eek::eek::eek:

Daylight robbery to be honest.

(Going by those three examples you'd actually save yourself about 50 quid buying the three from smyths as opposed to the 3 for 2 in argos)
