I got it for my Birthday. Amazing set and a fun build I thought.

Bowser is about 27/28 cm from Tail to Snout.

The base is 14.5cm x 39/40cm

On my display, from the very end of the tail, to the front of the base is around 21cm.

EDIT:Though Bowser isn't attached to the base, so you can move him around to see what works.

I will have to move a few things about, but it will fit on the shelf. :toot:

Thanks for your help.

Edit: Ordered it. Picking it up tomorrow from Argos.

If this is still in stock around Christmas then I could be sorely tempted.

I'm tempted to get the Pac-man set, but I'm hoping they'll release a new Ghostbusters Firehouse when the new movie comes out, so i think I'll save my money for that.

Saw the Great Wave set on sale (save £20) so went for it, slightly annoying build but I guess the ones with loads of studs/the same pieces are nearly always going to be not quite as enjoyable. Looks really good once done though, just about to get it hung up next to The Starry Night set, I wonder what famous work of art they'll turn into Lego next.

Still waiting to see if that rumoured Deku Tree set is legit.

Edit, and its on the wall :toot: It might be slightly skew-whiff but I'll just say that adds character (in part thanks to what I can assume is poor quality walls/plaster :capnscotty: ).

A t-rex doesn't want to be fed, it wants to hunt.

I got it the last time it was on offer. It's a great build, I'd recommend it.

Double VIP points this weekend alongside 11% Quidco and two free sets means I've crumbled and ordered the Pac-Man machine.

For the next week or so on orders of £200+. What I didn't check was the small print and that may be an ex vat amount. :( I guess I'll find out when it tracks.

That's all right, just send it to me and I'll claim the VAT back for you as "construction materials" or "important art stimulation protocols".

Filmed a new vlog of the Leicester Square Lego Store a few weeks back, it's changed a bit since my last visit, and the museum section has now been replaced by a NinjaGo area.

It does look a good set, although while I appreciate they've done the best they can with Chewbacca's face, it look like he's seen some stuff :lol:

Think the Ghost/Phantom looks like a nice model too, still waiting to see if that rumoured Zelda set is actually legit or not before buying any more sets.
