After spending most of the year bricklinking the Barad Dur, it's finally done with a few modifications, it stands 45 inches tall. Thanks to Kevin at BrickStruct for creating the instructions. The model still needs a couple of mods that I will do when I have room to display it.

There was a deal a couple weeks ago at Shop.Lego.com where you got 100 points ($5) for every Star Wars Lego purchase. If you spent $75, you also got a free London Bus promo. Keep your eyes on the Daily Deals and you should catch these deals when they are available.

Lack of flexibility does not good investment strategy make.

I think he made Lego a verb.

Had a lot of fun putting it together. Daughters having fun driving it around and having strange ideas about getting sand into our apartment...

Me too, points from SW Microfighters should about pay for it.

This set will soon be available in the UK from Smyths: https://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/toys/lego-and-bricks/lego-ninjago/lego-ninjago-movie-ninjago-city-70620/p/164489 Some more "lego exclusive" sets are also available at smyths such as the Minecraft mountain cave and London bus, hopefully the UCS MF will also hit TRU soon aswell.

Not a ban, that's just high quality IT staff at work.

Sand Baseplates for $5.58 at Target. 30% off. I’ll take ‘em.

Wow, just wow. I was in the dark ages for the last Falcon and my wife was awesome to me for christmas. This thing is HUGE!!! I knew it would be big, even measured out display options before building but to actually see it and hold it is just amazing.

This has broader international appeal than Doctor Who though, which could be telling. I bet those 99 at Tesco will soon start moving if word reaches HUKD that it’s now retired.

Retired at UK SAH

This is true. Should I tell my "I returned 10 black pearls story" again? Bought 10 on target.com at $90 or something. Found many more at Walmart for $60. Returned those 10 from target. Next visit there were 10 black pearls on an end cap for $99 titled "manager's special."

Interesting thread... I began recollecting Legos about 2 years ago after getting my childhood legos back from my folks and a Lego Christmas present from my now wife, and that's all it took. I focused primarily on City stuff at the time, particularly wanting to build an airport. I always been a fan of Star Wars but didn't get into the Lego scene until Summer 2017 clearance round 2 where I got a U-Wing for $35 or so. Then the Tie Striker for $35, then an X-wing and now I think I have about 8 or 9 large craft (Kylo's shuttle and 75105 Falcon the largest), 4 or 5 small craft (Luke's Landspeeder, Rey's Speeder, A-wing), and a 2 or 3 small scenes. My desk is full I have no room for more, so I find myself asking how to consolidate, what to keep or eliminate. At first I was pretty OCD about keeping the figures and vehicles that came in each box together, now I'm thinking of having figureless iconic vehicles in one area and groups/scenes of minifigures in another. I don't have a HUGE collection but about 85+ minifigures. Kind of want to build my own customer Star Wars themed minifigure stand or diorama. I don't like those displays that each figure has a fixed amount of volume to occupy like prison, I like to think they can be displayed with a little of my creativity as well. As for the future of my Star Wars collecting... can't afford UCS stuff, I will still buy iconic vehicles from previous movies, and will buy smaller sets for the figures and if I think there are interesting extra pieces. If the figure can be had on the aftermarket for a fraction of the set cost I may consider that on a case-by-case basis. Depending on where Disney takes Star Wars I may not be buying too much from new movies and focus on newly designed sets for earlier episodes. May the force be with you.

Yes

Super hero girls

Finally got one for the LEGO Raffle!

Since it’s a larger set, shouldn’t it be a turd? A terd is a very small piece, about the size of a raisin. [emoji848]

In for 5!

Resellers will hate this set a lot less when it starts making them money. See Winter Toy Shop.

Simpsons line is EOL.

Inflation!

Im a massive star wars and lego fan. Got a fair few of the old original releases from the first waves when i was a kid, then in recent years moving in with another lego fan we collect modular, creator fairground, ucs star wars, marvel and anything else that catches our eye/can afford. Very irritated by the current onslaught of expensive D2C sets and never going to be able to have all of them. Although (IMO) disney ruining star wars for me with the latest film (especially luke) means i dont want any new lines from the new film.

Ditto, 2500 VIP points standing ready for Jan 28 ... still deciding on what to order with my Anniversary set

Something tells me that the 5% with tax exempt will be better

Couple more ? tonight and who knows , I just might ..

^ im sure im not the only one who read it as Pog

Found a few 41321 friends off roaders at Kmart for $10. Cleared the shelf. Also found a Scuttler at $79 but that price didn’t beat my Myer glitch $75 Scuttlers, so I left it. Water dragons about gone so grabbed the last 3 of them also. Moral of the story : check your local kmarts. They have random stuff and even more random clearances that aren’t advertised.

TLBM Killer Croc set

Based on comparisons between TLG and TFA just going to leave this here.

I don’t really get the hate tbh. Sure there were unlikeable elements (Leia’s space swim, the whole casino section) but on the whole it was a rip roaring space adventure in the tradition of the series. It felt fresh and unpredictable. I liked Luke as a grumpy old man who’d lost his confidence and faith. I liked Kylo killing his master to replace him (it certainly didn’t go the way I thought). I liked the tension between Hux and Kylo and how they both kept making bad decisions. The Force Awakens was criticised for being a tired rehash of A New Hope and The Last Jedi is criticised for being too different so maybe it is impossible to please everyone.

My ‘Original UCS Falcon, escaping from Docking Bay 327’ enshrined in a coffee table now complete.

My son and I were looking through my miscellaneous boxes of stuff to go through, and we found a used 7623 Indiana Jones Temple Escape I had grabbed off of eBay a couple years ago. No minifigs and no airplane. But it has the important parts. He decided to MOC a little something from it. So here’s his alternative build, with a Speed Champions mini and a Minecraft sword.

This is when I originally built the tower circa 2015 I added mountains, a village, and a Great Wall to protect the villagers from the white walkers but never finished always onto something else.
