ages ago over time i started grabbing some of the current speed champions sets. just started building a few recently. they mostly seem to have a very similar foundation and styles but differing details. i am liking them so far. anyone else collecting this range? once i get around to one day doing all my modular buildings i imagine them rolling down the streets out front.
Got a Voltron set on sale from David Jones! Now sitting proudly on the top of my pile of shame 😁🙄
My son buys the Lego Speed sets. I think they are really well done.
The engineering on the Lego Voltron is awesome. The way they do the leg transformation and lock them in is ingenious.
My son has the Porsche set. Definitely worth getting. The green 911 is really well done.
Yeah, I think I'll buy it the next time there's a 20% sale on Lego. Ive been walking past it enough times, eyeing it off, I may as well commit :P
My brother got me the TRON set for Xmas, really cool & fun :D wish they would do more.
I got the 3 Incredibles 2 sets (the are "Junior" sets) for Christmas and did them with my 2 sons. Quite easy kits, my 5 year old had no trouble following the instructions. Not as complex as I prefer my Lego, but I love the property, and its something we could do together as a family, so very enjoyable.:D
Picked up the 2 Chinese New Year sets which came with a free year of the pig build too! :)
Might motorise the Dragon Dance set.
Finally ended up with a complete set of Lego Movie 2 minifigures after visiting four different stores. :)
Really got the lego bug. Over the last few weeks as follows:
Kessel Run Millennium Falcon
T-6 Jedi Shuttle
Resistance Trooper Transport
U-Wing
Han's Landspeeder
AT Hauler
Snoke's Throne room
& a stack of mini figures!
Doing my best to restrain myself...... and failing :(
Picked up 2x Bennys squad today at Kmart Rockingham.
Benny's Space squad, introducing Queen Watevra Wa'Nabi, Sweetest friends and Rextreme Explorer, only because I still had xmas money leftover on a coles myer card. I know lego isnt cheap, but the prices on these sets are awful. I really want the party bus but it isnt worth $120! :eek:
Thankfully, I think 90% of the Lego Movie 2 sets look like crap so have no desire to get them and save me a lot of money. I do want the blue Velociraptor and Benny’s Space Squad (thankfully the cheapest). Emmets Dream House is ok. Might get that on sale at some point.
Got the 76127 Captain Marvel And The Skrull Attack last week.
Myer Chatswood have 20% off Lego (with usual exceptions) but it included Betrayal at Cloud City which I bought. The one on display is damaged so I asked to get one from out back. The sale lasts this weekend from what I can tell.
Picked up Benny's Space Squad. The other TLM2 sets do seem overpriced.
The TLM2 sets seem to be excluded from Myer's 20% off sales, most likely until the movie sees a general release.
Photos of bennys space squad?
The squad: Jenny, Kenny, Benny and Lenny. Absent: Denny, Penny, Renny.

Went the the Kembla Grange LEGO show today. Small but definitely worth it. Some very cleaver MOCs. And some very dusty ones too.
To keep it on topic, while there I picked up Emmet’s Construct-o Mech.
Mechs are cool :cool:
Hope its ok to post his here. I spent my Saturday building the Back To The Future/II Delorean. 18 orders from Bricklink (with some colour and part substitutions) and 9 hours to build - this thing is amazing! The shape and lines are spot on, and there are some really neat ideas used by the designer (David Slater) to get everything to work. It really makes a nice addition to the 1989 Batmobile he designed. It will stand next to my Batmobile, Ecto-1 and Johnny 5 :D

Just the one pack of Benny's Space Squad, Deano?
That would be great, Blaster. Thank you.
Just started collecting Lego Speed Champions. Got a bulk set with a bit of missing pieces from the big sets like the Ferrari Truck, Ferrari Ultimate Garage and the McLaren Petronas F1 but the small sets looks complete. Just finished getting the current stuff locally thanks to the BigW toysale atm.
Not my acquisition but LEGO just bought Bricklink. Will be interesting to see what plans they have.
^ It looks like a lot of people online aren't very happy about today's news. Now I don't know if it's just "the usual online whining & complaining" or if the AFOL's genuinely think this will eventually lead to TLG shutting down Bricklink or just forcing people to go & buy from their "bricks & pieces" store.
Who knows what Lego's plans are? Was this just a strategic acquisition at the right price?. I'm just gonna wait & see what happens in the future. I might have to have a look at Brickowl instead...
Just picked up the January(ish) bunch of Rise of Skywalker sets - I won't do a photo, I've got the minifigs in arrangements that are a bit spoilery.
I've actually got extra room on the shelf for once. The whole sequel trilogy area got heavily optimised months ago to make room for Ep9, then it turned out the new (black) shuttle just took the place of the old one, and I decided not to get the Falcon (I did a bunch of mods on the Ep7 one, I think it looks just as good), so even now everything's in place it's looking a bit sparse. At least, compared to all the other areas where everyone's crammed in like sardines.
After giving up on the fishing shack in Brisbane (funny I saw it so much but only decided to bite the bullet when the treehouse started showing up everywhere), I found one in Wagga Myer and grabbed it. Wasn't on the website so was a nice surprise when it scanned at $199.
Edit: also picked up the new ice cream van.
Built the modular bookshop on New Year's Day. Unfortunately that's as far as my 'get a new modular building every day' resolution made it. (I don't like the American look of the diner and garage anyway.)
Picked up the new speed champions Audi and GT-R and battle packs for ep9 and Mandalorian.
My son got the Audi and will be getting the Speed Champions Lamborghini double pack next week. I like the new 8 stud Speed Champions.
Spend $40 at eb games on Star Wars LEGO and get a bonus micro Poes xwing polybag.
I?m a sucker for poly bags and it annoys me that we barely get any here and they can be stupid expensive to get. I?m tempted to pay a few $$$ more for some microfighters and battle packs just to get the polybag. The last xwing came with a kzone magazine.
This one? http://www.rebelscum.com/story/front...bag_186146.asp
The earlier Poe XWing polybag that comes up most in search results looked a bit better.
