Hope they have been glued
Frustrating time with the Bricklink antique cabinet. The shelves are a pair of large plates only supported at the sides and rear. Only needs a slight front movement for the centre "light" fitted across the joint underneath to fall off. Simple solution would be leave those off but I have lit them. An awaiting Brickowl basket finally ordered with the addition of 2 x 12 and 1 x 2 plates to strengthen the front each shelf.
Instead put together the GWP Tribute to Da Vinci. Only has one sticker for the mirror
Comes free from Lego with £135+ purchases or alternatively as I did can found on eBay, Facebook etc at varying prices. I paid less than half some are asking for it

Bricklink antique set completed. I rearranged some of the ornaments to improve visibility IMO. Strengthened the front underside of the two upper shelves with a 1 x 12 plate plus 1 x 2 plates to either side for visual effect. Also the reverse curve side roofs were strengened on the underside with a 1 x 4 plate to either side.
Lights added with round 2 x 2 plates added under the supplied yellow "lights" to accommodate LEDs.
Fits inside a case designed for the London phone box.

I’ve started to collect Lego mini figures as trip souvenirs! I find a Lego store in the city and get a custom one printed to commemorate my trip.

I've been browsing this book, it's been on my shelves for quite a few years
Lego has some curious facts stated (book released in 2009)
1. Circa 440 billion bricks have been produced since its inception, that's 62 for every person on the planet
(36,000 items a minute are produced)
2. There are (apparantly) 900 million ways of using six standard '8-stud' bricks of the same colour
(who calculates this!?)
3. Circa 306 million tyres are produced every year, making Lego, the worlds largest tyre manufacturer
4. Enough 'Mini-Figures' have been produced to be claimed as the 'worlds largest ethnic group'

As stated, Gerald Scarfe gifted the sketch, which was then Lego'd

Anyone seen the X-Files Lego? I'm putting 5€ bills in a jar right now, trying to save up for it. I did greatly enjoy off-brand, Lego-compatibles, but this is the first set in years that got me excited.
I didn't know that existed. I may have to see if I can find it. Weirdly Jame's other shows (aside from Man Lab) were all excellent. I enjoyed Jezza in Germany, because it's kinda fun when he makes fun of us, but otherwise the other two just didn't measure up in terms of side-projects.
