Thank you for recommending this set! I really love it. The modular aspect is just fantastic. I shouldn't but temptation to get another one is great. Only negative thing is that they come with stud blasters.

Ah. Missed that news. Thanks.
Glad you liked it! It would be really easy to buy another and build it out... basically no customization required... almost as if they intended for people to do exactly that...
I missed out on the Figurarts and it's a little expensive now.

Size comparison between London Bus and Camper:
Looks good sizewise but I still cannot stand how blocky the front is, specially the wheels.

I might get it if there's a mod eventually that needs only a small amount of pieces to smooth out the front
There seem to be 2 of the CITY big cats available on Bricks & Pieces - the black jaguar and the leopard (unfortunately no tiger).
Then the Venus flytraps (although slightly already over BL prices)
From others the tile with ticket print from Carousel might be interesting. Maybe the Cafe Corner print from Assembly square...

That sounds like a challenge, you can beat your high score! UCS Falcon will help.
edit: I'm so fucking weak, AA, fun at the beach, Speed Champions Mclaren and some bricks and pieces order with big cats (thanks for the head up papluh) ordered.

Which sets are those?Just done the sums for the week.

If you can list them without looking you don't have enough.
How much was the Red 5?
You're all bad people. I have to take it easy for a while now, but I've got the ones I really wanted apart from the Saturn V.
R2D2, Tie, Slave 1, Red Five, Wall-e and Ecto-1.
Still want Saturn V and Snowspeeder, but I have time for those as they are recent releases.
Fortunately I don't care about minifigs or modulars

You went in right away with the UCSs. That's admirable. I started small with cheaper Creator sets, thinking they would satisfy me. They did for a while, but the hunger grows.

Yeah it looks like Disney Worlds Cinderella Castle except it is symmetric. If I ever get it, I will add another brick to the right tower (the gold one) to make it higher than the rest of the castle
Honestly, I got Slave and Tie before they retired and both R2 and Red 5 were relatively cheap (£160 new and £153 used) I figured the longer I waited the more it would cost lol. There are some creator and ideas I'd like, but they are all a bit more reasonably priced hehe.
Yeah it could be a problem if I don't control myself. Not fussed about the smaller sets so hoping keeps the clutter under control! Just wish I'd done this a long time ago and got the Falcon and a few others I'll now never own (unless rereleased).

You need to pick up the creator expert cars, the camper, mini and Ferrari are all excellent builds, especially the Ferrari, some really nice techniques used in that one to get the shape right.

I also go only for the OT UCS sets.
Right now i have all the sets i've ever wanted, so i have to wait for the new Falcon.
Just buy some small sets that you can mod by yourself or make your own creation.
This works out for me...........so far at least.
probably.
Just ordered the Capitol Building for a friend of mine (not into Architecture Theme) which was also wanting the Saturn V.
my wife probably ordered the brick bank for my birthday later in the month.... i hope
so thats around 500 points for us...
Saving for Carousel or Ninjago City...got around 20€ so far....but with those 500 points ...still a long way to go lol

Newbie question about Lego points: The system works in tiers, once you reach a certain number of points you can spend them. But what happens if I try to use my amount of points between tiers? Do I loose the points in between?
No u keep them.

It gets easier when you see posts like this, so thanks for that! I daren't total up how much I've spent since joining the thread, but it's not a small number. I feel liking breaking a grand is the real entry fee.

Legitimately, it was the Saturn V that started all of this and I don;t even have it yet!
That sucks dude. I hope it comes back in stock for all those that still need to get one. These Idea sets have been a real mixed bag when it comes to availability. Some sell out immediately and stay hard to find, and then some are plentiful and get discounted. I'm wondering which one the Fishing Store is going to be. I may not be able to get it till Sept.3rd because of paycheck.

The Saturn is what got me interested in Lego too. Luckily I was able to grab one. Not from the Lego site though.
Since then I've bought some other sets as well. A mix of small and big sets. And my wishlist is pretty big. I've found a new hobby!

I just ordered a bunch of parts to make a few of my own. They're certainly very easy to work on. You just need a metric ton of those SNOT parts.

No, tsk tsk to you for doing the sums. Never do the sums.
Ahh I always do my sums. For everything. Spending Tracker on my phone lol.
Originally to help me cut down on buying so much food at work but just generally useful to see what I'm spending every month that's essentials and what stuff is just whimsy.
Someone said this table is good with some Lego plates glued to the top for kids to play Lego on

any input or better ideas

I use this for displaying 'scenes'. It's dirty cheap and has an excellent hight for kids sitting on the ground. Baseplate + kraggle might work, but why would you?
My Lego "shelf" will be full when I add the Parisian Restaurant. It will be overflowing when I finish the speeder bike.
Going to need to store some stuff. Definitely getting the fishing store. Saturn V would be an impulse decision if it ever comes back - not sure that it would ever be at the top of my list.
Very much looking forward to the TLJ walker and starship. Wasn't into Lego when those came out initially and will be excited to have them.
Also keeping one eye on Assault on Hoth. I feel discounts coming. No one wants that thing.

So I completed series 17... I am curious as you display your minifigs, guys. Do you place completed series in order on displays/frames/shelves or do you spread them on your cities/MOCs/sets? I am not sure which way will work better...
So Channel 4 - here in the UK - have just released details of their summer programming lineup, and one programme in particular (In the factual entertainment section) looks intriguing:
How good it is will be dependent on how talented the contestants are and how well-pitched the challenges are, but I'm cautiously interested.
