LEGO builds for Adults


This practice of people buying hard to find sets just to take the minifigures out before selling them on seems a bit shit like.
I see you've liked a post of mine @HellsBells - have you finished the Falcon yet?

Of course not man. We were going to do another packet the other night but I think we had a couple of bottles of wine instead.

:lol: I've still go the last stage of the Batwing to do, and then the stand after that. Been on months.

Me Home Alone house came the other day - that's tucked away 'til advent.

I got a bit excitable on May the Fourth and put a cheeky bid in on a Falcon set - was winning with less than an hour to go but came nowhere near. Not sure how I'd have played that one if it'd have come off. :lol:
New Great Pyramid set looks class.

My Mrs got me the new Lego Technic Batmobile for my birthday in March, first Lego I've done since I was kid and f***ing loved it.

That would triple the amount of pieces. You'd be talking death star money

MAKE. IT. HAPPEN.

I don't actually think it would take that many pieces. Optimus isn't that big and is only 1508 pieces. Ecto-1 is almost about 800 pieces more and in a similar price range, and a much longer vehicle. The '89 Batmobile was their biggest car I think, and that was nearly 3500 pieces and sold at £220 before it was retired (still trying to get me hands on one!)

The trailer would be fairly straight forward with a technic frame and some larger panels. It wouldn't be complete without the trailer.

I'm pretty sure I saw it coming in at about £150 which I think is pretty reasonable considering it actually transforms.
Transformers passed me by as a kid. I think it was coming to the end of its run when I started watching kids TV.
The first few films were canny, but I appreciate this is for the cartoon purists. It does look brilliant though.

If it sells, which it obviously will, I'm sure they'll do Megatron too. My mate wants Starscream and I think the one that turns into a ghetto-blaster.

Soundwave.

Starscream would be awesome, but probably more difficult to do.

The trouble with Megatron is neebody was ever sure what the frig he was meant to transform into. Was like a gun, which Starscream would use - which didn't make sense as he had to effectively shrink at the same time. Bit daft. Think he might have transformed into a tank/cannon at some point anarl.

This was one of me favourite toys when I was a kid...

Me mother gave me tranformers away to next door's grandkids, but I had intended to keep Optimus as a desk ornament. He disappeared though. I like to remind her now and then how much they now go for on ebay. :rolleyes:

Soundwave - he comes with five cassette tapes which @chriswallace85 will want included. Will look great though
 
We're forgetting that the obvious next step for them will be Bumblebee, but they'll have to get permission from both Hasbro and VW I suspect

Megatron transformed into a Walther P38 which was absolute crap when you played with him as kid. You basically had an oversized toy gun. Soundwave was the same as he would needed to have shrunk too.

Absolutely agree with you about Prime. Best toy I ever had after the Millennium Falcon. He cost £19.99 at Fenwicks when I absolutely convinced my Mam to buy it. She was persuading me to get Megatron who retailed at £16.99 but as above - he was crap. We then went to watch the Guttenberg classic Police Academy 4 at the Odeon - talk about a perfect day

Well to be fair, the tapes did transform into his little scout minions. One was like a hawk thing, and the other a sort of wolf.

Ravage was the panther but he was unique. You then had Frenzy and Rumble which were two little robots and Lazerbeak and Buzzsaw were the hawks

Better memory than me! Were class Transformers like.

If I could get the '89 Batmobile and Optimus, along with Ecto-1 that'll be me three favourite toy vehicles from me childhood, recreated in me other favourite childhood toy. Would the Turtle's van be too much to ask for? :lol:

I never got into Star Wars 'til I was about 11/12, so never had any toys, apart from a daft little Micro Machine's Death Star trench run.
 
Been sorting out Minifigures last couple days . I reckon there is well over a 1000 of them.. many mixed up .

Google lens is a life saver . There is probably 2 grand sitting in a single box if Minifigures on my kitchen table . Soem do the star war ones are worth 20 quid each
