Not a Lords of the Rings person but that is all kinds of awesome.

Easy up cowboy, you need to keep money for bills, rego and real life s**t as well!

Good work

Update: hopefully will finish my death star tomorrow!

Trust me, I get the little bit extra cash from my night job at coles

 

[Dangas]

IT'S FINISHED! - I will take photos of the minifigs tonight in the Death Star -

 

[Quivorir]

Thats finished? It doesn't have the outer shell?

It's not suppose to, it's designed to be a play set piece.

 

[Quivorir]

Oh wow, thats way less impressive to me now. For some reason I thought it was enclosed but on hinges so you open and see the inside.

There's another now-discontinued Death Star that had the outside but no inside (because it's the unfinished one from RotJ).

^^^^^^^
Exactly, mine is a "play set" where that other death star is a "scale model" which comes with no mini figs

I've got that one still in its original box and not opened at all yet.

Enthusiasts would kill to have that, sell it on bricklink and expect a couple of grand in return.

If I was going to spend that kind of money it would be for the Millennium Falcon.

Don't care that it isn't NIB, I would want to build it. Lego is more fun out of the box.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Holy s**t better not let the missus see that!

There are whispers around a new theme is going to be launched next year, some are saying Doctor Who.

I recently got back into Lego (at 27 years of age) after my mother phoned me threatening to throw all the parts / sets I had accrued as a kid.

After collecting it from her place last year I have started to accrue more and more.

Most recent purchase being 2 of the new Volvo Front loaders (I loved the B model so much, they can both go on display)

I am quickly running out of space for them though. they are currently out of sight in cupboards as the thought of them caked in dust makes me cry.

Shop for me in Brunswick generally seems to have the best prices (www.shopforme.com.au)

I was lucky to get some great classic sets as a kid that I still have to this day!

 

[HirdyLannister]

PICTURES!!!

 

[Jizzy_Wizzy]

Taking pictures and uploading them is hard work HirdyLannister

I'll see what I can put together tonight!

 

[Power Raid]

simply one of the best toys you can buy for kids

 

[Jizzy_Wizzy]

Here's what I have built atm.

I have the Volvo B model which I'm yet to build along with the Parisian restaurant and the new red technic 4x4.
