    This maniac built The Battle of Geonosis with over 250,000 Lego pieces over 2 years ... the wife probably will take it with her in the divorce proceedings ...

    Best build I have done in ages, you’d think it would be a bit repetitive but not at all and it has some really cool Easter eggs lurking in the build. It’s massive! Now to find it a real home!

    My son loves the Ninjago range, and we really enjoy building the dragons together. This is the latest one, and it’s massive!

    How sturdy is the dragon?  Something a 7 year old could handle without destroying?

    The Ninjago dragons look really cool. I also bought the new Creator 3in1 dragon recently. Might build him next.

    This one is definitely the sturdiest of the dragons we’ve built, it’s pretty solid. It weighs about 4.5lbs and the wingspan is almost 30”.

    Anyone do the Bricklink Series 5 pre-order?   I think it is open for another week.  I got the Popcorn Wagon.  



    The Transylvania Castle looks pretty cool ...

    I did the same. Was tempted by the mushroom village and antique shop, but just went with the popcorn cart.

    See if I cave or not. I give it a 50/50.

    Just bought the Krusty Burger and Vending Machine sets, so I should behave.

    I do like the look of the Vampire Castle but I really don’t think I would build it at anytime in the next few years. My wife wants the Keith Haring figures so probably get those when the new Jane Austen GWP launches shortly. I’m waiting on the rumoured Soundwave release in August.

    Yes, the picture I saw of Soundwave looked pretty cool. Transformers aren’t my main focus but might have to pick that one up.

    Wonder if Lego will do an original Megatron?


    It look like Dirty Harry's .44 Automag!



    No way a cop could confuse that at 20 yards away ... Ahh, the 80's :s .  Simpler times

    There’s no chance of Lego doing a G1 Megatron, I think Starscream would even be a push which is why they’ve opted for Soundwave. Lego don’t make realistic weapons or military vehicles so it’s super unlikely. Maybe Galvatron is doable as he’s not realistic looking when transformed. The Constructicons would be viable, also the Dinobots if the could make that work. I would love a Lego Grimlock 😂
