I love the reindeer minifigs (what's the technical term for an animal minifig? ) they've got now. So much snazzier than the brick-built ones the older christmas sets have had.

Dammit, ended up at the bottom of the last page so will repost...

Oh ffs they've done it again! Opened today's window, and it's the spider-drone thing again Guess I'll have to get back on to their help guys...

Can't believe you got the secret Into the Spider-Verse calendar.

[Frank]

It's weird that it's always the spider-man bags Maybe it's some weird viral marketing thing

[Vermilion]

Well that's just brilliant!

I still have this to build been in a cupboard for years

[Frank]

They actually had to update the Wall-E model to give it a stronger neck joint, so it might be worth (if you haven't already) getting in touch with Lego customer services for them to send you out the replacement bits for when you do start it. If it's one of the first releases you'll need the mod, but later revisions had the new pieces included:

All LEGO® 21303 WALL-E sets produced during or after November 2015 already include the neck stability revision, which includes revised Building Instructions and extra parts. You can tell the production date by checking the manufacturing code which is usually printed in black ink on the clear tape holding the box together. If your number is 47(S)5 or higher, your have the revised set. You can also tell by looking at the Building Instruction number. This number is printed at the bottom corner on the back cover. New revised BIs produced from November onwards will have the number 6162870 or 6162871.

My Harry Potter great hall Christmas gift was a total winner, but apparently you can attach a further 2 sets to it - more occasion gifts ready to roll, double win!

I got LEGO World Map for Christmas.

It was a nice surprise present!

[Frank]

I was pleasantly surprised by the world map. It's a nice chilled-out build and it looks great when it's up Give us some progress pics when you get started!

I ended up inheriting four copies of the Harry Potter art sets off a friend who bought them in the sales and then decided he couldn't be bothered with them. Because they're a lot more geometric it's a bit more... boring, I guess, compared with the world map.

I got the Modular Police Station

Started it last night - definitely seems more complex than some of the previous modulars. Loving it, and only on bag 3 of umpteen.

So many christmassy lego surprises! The most wonderful time of the year

I unwrapped the 1989 Batwing. Haven't ever seen the film, but you can apparently wall mount it without having to make any adjustments (it's got a hook piece like the art sets use built into the base). Did the first bag last night, and it's just the technic structure of the thing. It's going to be huge
