Time to admit we have a Lego problem 🤣🤣 ended up putting the F1 set back but ended up with 10 sets which include 2 GWP and 2 key rings! Used our points which we had built up over the last year.

We got:
Jaws (DHs birthday)
Tropical toucan (GWP)
Lucky knots (GWP)
Yellow taxi
New York postcard
3in1 Playful Cat
Mini orchid
Tom & Jerry figures
Red double decker sight seeing bus
Lucky cat

Mickey and Minnie Mouse key rings.

Wowwww! That’s the dream 😍

Ordered the Tudor mod. I had £33 in Insider points to use against it so that softened the blow a bit. It comes with two GWPs, the corner kiosk and Lucky Knots. The latter isn't my bag at all so I'll likely sell it and recoup a little more money.

Now to actually finish the last modular I started...

Never been interested in Lego but really tempted by tuxedo cat. Looks like my Timothy

It looks just like him. You have to 😀

These are the sets currently up in my husbands office , they are all in display cases with a backdrop which does affect the picture quality. The lighthouse is lovely .

@ReginaaPhalangee that is very nice , are you going to get it a display case ?

I'm not sure. It's currently sat in my sons room, but will look into the cases

I think I will buy the new modular. Having not yet started the previous modular. Whoops! Consoling myself that I’ll either find the time or end up with more valuable sealed and retired sets if I literally never manage it (unlikely). The GWP (newsstand iirc) looks awesome.

Happy building in 2025 Brew

I really want the new modular too, but I’ll have to wait in order to save for it 😊 I love the GWP too!

Hope to see photos once completed!

This is cute. Not the kind of thing I usually go for, but...

...I also have a bit of a thing for Grogu Baby Yoda

Exactly this . I'm not one for random sets usually stick to botanicals and Modular's but I find the pandas rather enchanting . I'm going to get the lucky bamboo set for them to rest under , my own little scene .

Thus is quite a portable build. The mini figures can come off in transit

It is, but I’m not sure what to make of it 😳

@Pumpkittenspice I have a big long wanted list of January 1st sets.
Unfortunately at my mother in laws until the end of the week and not much suitcase space left. May have to just get a bunch of the collectable minifigs !
Technically these will be my Christmas presents. I always think they should do the January 1st sets a couple of weeks early so Santa can deliver them for the big day 🧑‍🎄🎄

StrikeForever · 31/12/2024 15:55

We’re going to go into the large Lego Shop in the Metro Centre next week when the kids are back to school and it’s quieter. So we can check out all suggestions.

What about the Tiny Plants set? You could wrap them in cling film to make sure any pieces are contained

Good suggestion.

I’m eying up the mini orchid.

Also, we’re away in Tenerife for the first week of February. We’re not sun bathers, so there will be time sitting in the shade reading. Now that we’re bitten by the Lego bug, we thought it would be nice to have a small Lego build each. Any suggestions for this? I think they need to be;

  1. pretty solid when built
  2. not too many ‘sticky out bits’ (less likely to break in luggage)
  3. not too big

Or the 3 in 1 camera set. That’s a pretty solid build!

Yes 🙂

I’m loving this friendly, chatty thread. It’s rare there is a discussion on MS these days without someone being arsey isn’t it?
