And last night, won a gin hamper… oops!


Decided to build this one up recently, as I’ve ended up with a double…

Lego Friends…. But not the separate Lego Friends theme aimed at young girls.. (daughter had about 10 of those sets, so if I run out… I’ll start using hers)

No… Friends as in the TV program. This is the “Central Perk” coffee shop scene, but there’s also the apartments sets.

“How you doin’?”

I saw a 'Friends' set a few days ago. My son suggested I buy it. I told him in no uncertain terms where he could stick it. I'm not a fan!

It was never my first choice to be honest… and the repeats of the programme are very dated now…
I thought it might have increased in value a little after last years reunion, the release of the apartments set and the Gunther actors passing, but no.

I’ve still got a duplicate to sell on if you’re interested.??
 
A clue to the set I’m getting as a comp prize.

This is a Grand Prix car from 2013… set number 42000. Possibly the flagship set of that year.

Has front and rear suspension, steering and moving pistons.
Addition function is the gear wheel at the side that either opens the engine bay, or tilts the aerofoil at the back.

And the prize itself.
Took a couple days to build, just as I was working away yesterday.

The Maclaren F1 race car.
Not as functional as 42000 above, but still has steering, suspension and moving pistons.

Too. Many. Stickers!

So that’s 3 Lego sets, a dashcam and a gin hamper. So far.
 
Went to Ripon on Saturday and managed to drop on these sets in 2 different secondhand shops. Well chuffed.

can i have the two top ones pretty please????

I've been wanting the top one for ages but it commands too high a price normally. It was the first technic set my dad ever bought. I've already got the bits and tatty instructions, but always wanted a good boxed set.

I got them all for £88. And the lego is like brand new - really clean and shiny. Only had to take 10 parts from my own stock to make them all complete.
 
My latest from FB.

Went to pick up the crane for £30 and he threw in the 4x4 for another 20.
Missing a few parts, including the remote control for the car.

Popped in to look at a job today….

“Excuse the Lego…. You wouldn’t think my son was 22 years old!”

You wouldn’t think I was 48 either……


Started on the new mini figure bags… got 7 out of 12 so far. Have a seasonal theme about them… turkey costume, snowman, nutcracker… sugar plum fairy…
Photo to follow when I get them all.



I found a Lego store E. Voucher in my email junk from a family member for my birthday back in July.… £30…

So the ISS is on its way in the post.
 
On its way, and surprisingly delivered today!

Happy afternoon..

Includes itty bitty space shuttle and a couple of micro figure astronauts….

11 out of 12 now for the new collectible mini figures… just missing the snowman, so I think it’ll have to be sourced on eBay now.

This is a fb marketplace purchase. Set 42080. Stripped down, cleaned and rebuilt this past week.
Motor turns a cam that pumps up the pneumatics, which either lift the arms, or open/close the log gripper at the front.

Steering is front wheels and the articulated body.
Cab and arms can also rotate manually.
