Really tempted by the Sesame Steet set. All the little details are so cute. It's on sale at John Lewis at the moment too...

Hey guys, thought I'd stick my head in here and let you all know that Tesco (in-store) have currently got the Lego Classic yellow tub on Clubcard offer, reducing it from £40 to £20. I grabbed one for my kids as a stocking filler. It's the 10698 tub, like this:

We must own about 10 different Lego storage tubs and containers of various sizes, and yet still my children insist on just leaving it all over the floor! I tried to get them on board with setting up different boxes for different types/sizes of brick but nobody was interested in the idea :lol:

Bought a whole bunch of sets for them this Christmas, annoyingly they are now all old enough to do most of it themselves so I won't get much of a look in! :(

Has anyone picked up the Lego Marvel advent calendar? Just opened the first door, but it's the wrong set :slol:

The instructions on the door are for Tony Stark, but the pieces behind the door are quite clearly for Spider-Man

I opened our one and it was Tony behind the door. Could the tray have been inserted the wrong way round or something?

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Will be interesting to see if every other set is in the wrong place :lol:

For minifigs it will be fine but a bag of little pieces no clue how to assemble could be a bit challenging.

Oh, door number 2 has the right things behind it! Bit disappointing, though.

Ordered Santa Sleigh! (It was out of stock for a while). Damn you Lego. It was only one order per customer. :x

Multiverse advent calendar seems canon.

Got tempted and bought my first proper lego set in years last weekend...

I've clearly lost my edge, as it took me bloody ages to do.

I would guess they just gave you an extra Spiderman in place of Christmas jumper Tony. Get on to Lego support and tell them whats up, they might send you out one for messing up.

Yeah, I've pointed it out on twitter but their social media always ignores me :( I'll get on their support peeps at some point because they always seem *incredibly* helpful

I wish the builds in the Avengers calendar were more... Avenger-y. Where are the microscale Stark Tower, or a Quinjet or something? It all just seems to be minifigures and random city-style builds :(
