Serious bit of kit here, collectors series Falcon, weighs in at 10kg!, looks a lot of fun albeit very expensive.

10kg? It's closer to 22kg.

It is a beast, but it is also a hard build. It is at the very limits of Lego's mechanical properties imo. You can hear it cracking and feel it flexing when you pick it up plus it is virtually impossible to move without bits of it breaking.

Oh, and it is the largest production set that lego have ever made.

I was going to get it for "my Christmas" build and started looking at where it was cheapest.
Don't even know why I looked at JL, but really glad I did.
I expected that the order was going to be rejected at checkout, but it went through!
Looking forward to Christmas now!
If I see one on offer again I'll let you know.

Cheers.

Been building again.

This is my fourth attempt at building a system scale Hogwarts and easily the best so far. There are still a few issues with the angles of the buildings and bits, but overall I think this is a pretty good 'Lego Scale' rendering of the building. No idea where it is going to live though

3 for 2 on LEGO at Argos right now......just in case you wanted that Kessel Run Falcon or AT Hauler :lol:

Thanks Rob for the heads up.
I thought that the sets included in this offer was quite limited :?
I'm waiting for Black Friday!

Symths toys have some reasonable deals on line at present, not sure about in store.

Love the Hogwarts, amazing work. 8)

I built the Solo speeder with my daughter tonight. Love it!

I love the Solo Speeder, that looks really cool. 8)

I really enjoyed it. And although people often say Lego is expensive I think for what you actually get it's not too bad. This was £20 on Amazon, it's got three bags with **** loads of bits in and takes a good while to build. We did the Rey speeder and now this. I think I'm gonna just pick up the odd small speeder/vehicle set and build them!

Everythings expensive these days! For what you get it's not to bad really. Both my kids love Lego and I think it's the best value toy because they play with it over and over.

Hogwarts is getting close now.
Bit of tinkering with the castle and the. Some focus no the quiditch pitch and hut...

Beginning to deal with the quidditch pitch.
A bit larger than planned....

These HP sets are massive, my son would love playing with that.

Looking good

Ian

Updated now.
Lots added, full pitch, train and viaduct, wooden bridge etc...

Love the Hogwarts set up, amazing.

If this gets into production what an amazing set this will be!

I got a couple of sets for Christmas and I've got one I don't want and want to sell. It's the brand new Sandspeeder 75204. I'm after £25 + postage at cost. PM me if you would like it, thanks. SOLD
