Just building the Scaled-up Minifigure, and it's an awesome build - quite involved and very clever achievement of all the angles. Recommended if you're into interesting builds. Downside is it's exclusive to Lego and the Lego stores, do only available at RRP ($80).

I have my eye on that. It looks fun

New Disney 100th anniversary GWP looks worth getting if Disney is your thing. Should be available from July 1 but only with Disney purchases. Not sure of the threshold.

$1049 for the crane

Who the **** spends that much on one piece of lego?

And if I were going to do it, there's about two dozen lego sets worth $600+ that I'd buy before this.

Yeah, you're spot on. There's a few of those huge sets I'd love (eg Titanic), but there's no way I can justify that sort of money. These days I find myself buying smaller sets and keeping an eye out for savings. My last purchase was the Friends Botanic Garden for $79 in the Target sale.

The most expensive set I've ever bought is Diagon Alley, which was $600 at the time.

My biggest will be the Collesseum when/if it comes back in stock but using $150 off VIP points voucher.

Not really interested in technix or cars luckily.

Will be interesting to see how this sells. Lego shouldn't be for rich people only.

I'm not sure how well the $800+ sets sell - there must be a market because there is a steady release of new ones. Wasn't long ago that the range topped out around $500.

I guess Lego are now directly targetting adults with disposable income, which is a relatively new market for them. These mega sets do have widely varying subject matter presumably to hit fans of those subjects who may not have previously considered buying a Lego product.

Luckily there is still a focus on excellent affordable sets. If anything I think Lego may be spreading itself too thin.

I just want more art sets now and I will be happy

Not a big Lego fan but the Relics exhibition at the museum of SA is FANTASTIC.

Definitely worth a cheeky trip to beautiful Adelaide!!!

Anyone else seen it?

I think Neese posted some pics earlier, and was impressed by the exhibition.

Paradoxically, probably not. In the Crane Enthusiasts Forums there is much discussion about how unrealistic this set is compared to its prototype .

Yep, I had exactly the same reaction. It's very well done.

 

[Jatz]

That is bloody awesome!

 

[Toump Ass]

I do miss having that opportunity to show kids your loves and see them adopt them though.

My kid couldn’t give a shit about any of my interests. But I’ve caught their love of Black Sabbath and vintage hot wheels cars, and I'm pretty sure the wife is getting more out of Lego than they are.

That look fun.

It's basically a parts pack but lends itself to some interesting creative activities.

Great Wave on the way. Been charged for it

If there are any Technic heads here, the two new sets John Deere Skidder and Mars Rover Perseverence have been added to Target's current sale (20% off).

I posed the question before making a big pick a brick order (for Voltron) about how they’d arrive.

Turns out they all just come in one sealed bag. This build is going to be a disaster… over 2000 unsorted pieces, and I’ll be building using the phone app for the first time.

(This is one of 6 bags)

 

[Neese]

Librarian me would love sorting all of that out.

The phone app instructions are great imo. The ability to rotate the model is so helpful.

My problem is space - I live in a small apartment, and I don’t have a big dining room table or anything.

I will have to sort them, I just don’t know how yet.
