Okay that does look really cool.
I always look at lego boxes and think how cool it would be to own them... but then I see the price and I'm afraid I am not quite that into them compared to other things.ย
I do actually have a friend who became a designer for lego though! I wonder if I could reach out to them about what the design process is like and if they ever consider disability at all.0 -

I wonder if I could reach out to them about what the design process is like and if they ever consider disability at all.They are not cheap - around ยฃ80but for the amount of enjoyment that I get, they are not overpriced.... They are superbly made (everything fits perfectly) and Lego support is excellent.They do appreciate (if you don't assemble them) - I am considering buying two of any future builds (build one - keep one boxed) because they do go up, in price about a year after being released.My first Landrover, cost about ยฃ75 but they are nowย ยฃ225 - and evidently, there is a market for them...1 -
Here's my DucatiThe seat doesn't look very comfortable, does it ?

I keep entering competitions to win Lego sets, but no luck yet.ย I love the look of the Atredes Ornithopter from Dune.ย That looks fun to build.

You will have to post a photo when you have completed it. Take care @Wibbles

Sounds like that'll keep you busy for a bit @Wibbles though as Bluebell has said, we'll be expecting photos when it's done. ๐

I think that Lego cash in on this craze - they stop producing certain items and re-introduce them as "limited edition" 12 months later at crazy prices !

Have fun with that. That's one I would love but looking at the size it's just too big and I don't have anywhere to display it. Lego is one of my hobbies too and have a glass display cabinet with several in.
I seen it in the lego shop but it's way more expensive in there. Smyths toy shop is the cheapest I've seen it up to now.

Amazon is the same price as Smyths
Lego are charging ยฃ220

Ah yes, I forgot it's on there too. Enjoy.

I've found with my Warhammer minis that shopping from the actual store is usually about 20% more expensive than smaller hobby stores. I'm guessing Lego is the same then. How weird!

I have also ordered a"Remote Control and Motor Upgrade Kit" -so I will be able to "drive it"1 -
You are correct - but the quality of Lego is so good that its worth it - support is excellent too - where you buy the kits from makes no difference to the Lego support - I have found missing bits before and support send them to you quickly with no issues at all !

Always good to hear @Wibbles I much prefer supporting the smaller shops too, so if you can do that AND get your Lego for cheaper, I see that as a double win. ๐
