    I bought it on Monday morning, it's on back order so probably won't ship for a few days.

    It has begun...

    My wife injured her left hand, so it's being constructed slowly. Looks quality so far though!

    It's been retired a long while I believe but it just didn't sell very well in Smyths so they had stock long after it was retired.

    After a pretty lean August and Sept, decided to treat myself and splash out on two new LEGO Creator sets, the beautiful new Assembly Square and the Apollo 11 Moon Lander module. Both ordered direct from LEGO.com.

    Can’t wait for these to arrive!:)

    I've got a Lunar Lander 10266 as above, boxed, unopened, which I've now got buyer's regret on. If interested, PM me... can deliver Dublin area.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    I pop in here a lot but seldom post cos... I hardly ever manage to justify buying sets.

    I bought the UCS Millenium Falcon at the weekend with the Smyths discount.
    I'm 10 hours into the build and still feeling guilty.

    Never feel guilty :)

    I'm currently on the hunt for the Assault on Hoth 'UCS' set for a reasonable price and every review I read hammers home how badly received the set was. Doesn't dissuade me one bit :)

    Just finished building the Lego Friends Ideas set, lovely little thing. The attention to detail is great even down to the shape of the coffee house and positioning of props.

    Had not seen / heard of that set til now, just looked it up and I think it looks great. Why was it so badly received?

    I have the UCS Slave 1, Tie Fighter and Snow Speeder too (that's a frustrating build, so much as brush off it and bits fly off). Bought them over a few years during the sales.
    The last one on my list is the UCS B-Wing...its a crazy price on ebay and adverts but hoping i'll get it for the right price some day.

    The price and that it has the UCS branding on it despite it being a large playset. People get upset very easily over Lego. I liked it but not enough to buy when it released but now that I've a kid, I can see it's real appeal. If I'm not able to get it, I'm sure there will be sets like it in the future that he'll like.

    That B-Wing is phenomenal but you're right, it's not the easiest to find so people capitalise with high prices. Cheapest 'accessible'* one I can find on Bricklink is 278e.

    I'm going in for surgery later this month and I've been instructed to buy a big set to fill some of my recovery time. Reading back through this thread is offering great ideas.

    *not America, Canada or places that have crazy high postage to Ireland.

    Delivery prices are pretty shocking

    I found some of the Lego technic builds a great diversion, the Rescue Helicopter (9396) and the cargo plane (42025) in particular are good sized and fun builds.

    I'm not really a Technic person really. Currently musing over the Assault on Hoth set (nobody is selling), the Ewok Village set (10236) and the new Kylo Ren Shuttle set that's out later this week. Surgery isn't until the end of the month so plenty of time to think. I work with kids in hospital so I might run it by a few of them, get some fresh opinions :)

    Had to do a ninja edit and put the word 'Ideas' in to distinguish :)

    I am increasingly impressed with the Friends range though. Not just 'PINK IS FOR GIRLS' anymore, lots of range.

    Also, just finished The Restaurant at the End of the Universe this morning so your username checks a box in the mood centre of my brain.

    It's a nice looking set, The Pasaana speeder race set and the Resistence A-wing are going on my list now too!
