State of the Game

[Rubbernuke]

Nothing at all I just don't have room for it so it'll sit in a box and be forgotten about for three years like the last lot of lego I recently sold.

Not that I'm hovering like a vulture but what Falcon? UCS or the latest playset one?

 

[Rubbernuke]

I look forward to your reaction gif to the prologue chapter, I liked it, so I bet you will be all

Will have to see. I know its on the interweb now, but I need to hold it in my hands and read.

Will I need Cadbury to hand do you think?

It's just the one they released after the force awakens.

If it's in the way it's probably best to sell it, especially if you've got the box, and use the cash for other things.

I used to collect loads of sets all boxed and unopened to the point where my tiny (38m2) flat looked like a toy shop.
Then one day I just sold the lot / gave away to nieces & nephew and used the money to spend on fun stuff.

I have two of its relative, the newest version which is almost identical to yours bar the dish.

All have been assimilated into the Beast.

All I have left now is the Lego Helicarrier, 3 different quinjets and the lego hulkbuster.

Giving serious thought to getting Ecto 1 as a Xmas present to myself.

 

[xzanfr]

Well that's a first, just popped to the shops and was confronted with a group of steam punk carol singers.
I felt an overwhelming urge to either laugh or burn them with fire.

Nothing shouts Christmas more that a bloke in a top hat with cogs clued to it.

I've got the little ecto from some years back and saw the new, big one being built at the show a couple of weeks ago. It's a great looking set.
You probably do something similar anyway but I find it helpful to watch reviews of sets. Weirdly it's stopped me buying as much as I get my Lego fix watching rather than building.
Sometimes they spoil the surprise though.

Here's the ecto review from Jangbricks:

Yea I watch reviews and I live vicariously watching others speed build sets.

Ah JWE2 "Hey, here's a dinosaur I want in game!" with an unvoiced "Please ignore the posing lady silhouettes! It was from a legit site honest!"

I'd have a really, really strong urge to dress as a WH40K Commissar and and carry out the cleansing.

RE: Lego

This is the only LEGO I have, and AFAIK, the only LEGO that's ever actually been mine...
