I told my wife about that kit, she said buy that and I am changing the locks 😂. Best stick to cheaper kits!

I want the Millennium Falcon but the price is eyewatering!

That's fantastic and is affordable too.

I'm fancying having a punt at this tbh:

@Gunk is on with the Bugatti bad boy. I prefer that to the Lambo. Astonishing price...

I like the agricultural or construction models. The rough terrain crane has extending boom and 4 wheel drive.
Not a fan of some that utilise iPhone apps to control. It feels like it’s not in the spirit of Lego which avoided all this screen time app modern crap.

I've just dragged Lovely Wife over to have a look.

I'm hoping that the Bug' has been added to my surprise present list for good behaviour.

Failing that, next Xmas will do.

My wife shakes her head and laughs. She can see the anxiety building as I look at the half finished cement mixer in room. How my lad can calmly resist finishing it is beyond me

Oh believe me, I'd have either of those too if (a) I had any shelf space left, and (b) Mrs C wouldn't kill me. Enjoy!

When I was a kid I loved Lego , my favourite thing to build were towers, skyscrapers etc. I got them to the ceiling a few times. I think it's a little sad that it seems to all about the kit nowadays rather than a big tub of bits and your imagination, having said that some of the Technics kits are really impressive.

A couple of years back my niece bought a lego tower block for her boys. She thought it would look really nice displayed on their chest of drawers. They built it and it was displayed, for about two days until they dismantled it and played with all the pieces. She was livid. I was very proud of them. Lego is a toy after all, not an ornament.

It is also both though. There are some pretty spectacular things done with Lego.

Just glue the bricks as you build then they can never take it apart...play all they want but not breaking it

To build some of the more impressive kits from own imagination would cost a fortune to bus the ‘bespoke’ parts. Agreed the big tub of bits and imagination is Lego at its purest and really brings out the best in kids but some things they could just never build without the specialist parts. To watch them build gearboxes, driveshafts and the like, understand how it moves and creates motion and ask questions is something special. Few toys bring that out in a child. The big kits are great as is the bucket of bricks
