JCC [LEGO IS AWESOME] It's like Christmas come early!!

Supported. That needs be a thing. And in my life.

 

2018 Speed Champions set images released. Not a theme I usually follow, though I got the Maclaren for jingoistic reasons. I wanna make a Ferrari 308 / Magnum PI MOC so some of these will make a nice base.

Which McLaren, @jp-30? I have both the 720s and the P1.

I think I need that 918, and probably the dual 911s. I already have one of Mark Webber's Porches:

 

The 720S

 

I have no idea why the P1 was yellow instead of orange, McLaren's signature colour.







The 720s is perfect though, especially with the Woking-based designer minifig and design station.

though, full credit for using a snowboard as the active spoiler on the car:

 

New Harry Potter set revealed.

That rubber ducky shirt on the new Robin minifig is way too cool for him, so I made it a new owner. Thomas Magnum.







Need to BrickLink a couple of bits (red mudguards, and 2x1 red cheese slopes for front skirt) to finish it properly. Next up TC and his chopper...

 

@tom

 

I found a good deal for the Tower Bridge set so picked it up the other day. Today I opened it up, and there are 29 bags, and it was before they started numbering them or had them sorted. So I’m sorting by colour. It’s 4,295 pieces, so this may take a while...

 

In what I'm sure is going to be used against me even more when I talk about being socialist, I simply don't have the time to build that UCS Falcon due to work and a myriad of other things. So I sold it. For more. lol.

 

It will only be used against you because you have more in common with ticket touts than actual socialists.

 

Ender get of Diggy's account

 

No, he gets off on my account.

 

kinky

 

lol Vivec, you have an adult job now, you have to put the childish things away.

No, not the Lego, the socialism.

@jp-30, I've seen the latest wave of Speed Champions in stores here, so should be in NZ?

 

If anything, my years in the workforce have made me more socialist.

 

I liked the post but it sucks that you sold it. I wanted to see you build it.
I was even wondering the other day if you'd already started.

Oh well, now Diggy will have to buy it.

 

If I must...

 

LOL. Yes, I’m sure somebody will “suffer” and build Vivec’s Falcon for him.

 

Yeah I'm saddened by it too. But between Star Wars Destiny (FFG trading card game), being tied up, video gaming, magic the gathering, work, shows i like, social stuff, etc, there's no real time for Lego anymore

 

Make children!

 

Being tied up, you say?

 

with other things like work and video games. Poor phrasing on my part. Best don't say much else.

 

Vivec you sold an item based on the purest expression of humanity yet; price equilibrium. You not only engaged in a fundamental of capitalism; you enjoyed it.

One of us!
One of us!
One of us!
One of us!

 

Yes, I bought the Ferrari 488 today. Gonna use it to improve my 308GT from a few posts back
