marzman Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I had a full city, made up of my older bro & sis, and older cousins lego as they'd all grown up. So i had 5 kids' worth! I've got a couple of photos somewhere, will see if i can dig them out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 We've bought my (sort of) bro-in-law a Mini Cooper for his Christmas present. He ised to own one of the last 500 'proper' Coopers that were made - it was British Racing Green too. Couldn't believe this kit when I saw it! http://shop.lego.com/en-GB/MINI-Cooper-10242 Watch the video: "Hi, I'm Andy and I'm a senior designer for Lego....". I HATE you Andy. Seriously tempted at buying some kits myself now. Love that Ghostbusters one! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 seems to be a lot of us buying the Cooper, I just did this afternoon along with the VW camper van. Thats about £750 i've spent on LEGO since Sunday 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetpilot Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Sort of on the subject of Lego, my nephew is a boat skipper (basic terms) and ended up working for the son of the Lego family this year on his boat and got to stay in his home in Denmark (i think). The photos he showed me of his underground car/bike storage, read man cave, were quite staggering. A hydraulic rotating lift that goes centrally to his board room to display whichever car he fancies at the time and too many cars of dreams, ex Schumacher Ferrari, countless exotica and even randoms like a brand new delivery miles 2cv and Mk1 Mx5 to name a couple. Nice to know he is a car man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marzman Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Building Lego and watching Home Alone. Ultimate nostalgia right there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I dug out my old photos from when i was a young 'un. I reckon i must have been about 7 or 8 when these were taken. Wish i had more pics. And then my dad put mirrors along the sides once to make the city look bigger. Also note the elevated train line. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Some very impressive models you guy's have been making. Just spent the last half hour looking at the Lego website & I'm impressed with how it's improved since I was younger. Similar to marzman I used to have a whole city set up in my bedroom with my younger brother. My mothers got some boxes of my old Lego with probably some Technic's stuff in there as well. Tempted to try & dig it out now just to see what's there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodder Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Marzman, dos you roar like Godzilla while playing with that city? You must've looked like a giant on a rampage Impressive setup though, is have been continually rebuilding parts of it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickyZ Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I always wanted this one, I believe it's the biggest ever kit. Some people probably bought their Zeds cheaper than it though.. http://www.amazon.co.uk/LEGO-10179-ULTIMATE-COLLECTORS-MILLENNIUM/dp/B0017V21EY# Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davedutch Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Like a really expensive bottle of wine, you couldn't ever open it because it would become worthless!!! I had so much lego years ago, still have some of it and it's great watching my kids building things out of lego all my boys (youngest is 13) spend hours building star wars models but no chance of my getting them the millenium falcon at that price!
