I have it.

I bought two of those last year so I can have traditional eight reindeers instead of four. 8-)


Nice! Does it look good with the winter village stuff or do you have it as a standalone?

It is a standalone and it is display on the fireplace.

Bought the polar bear set today from the lego store in Southampton, along with an elf keyring.

Finally got the Home Alone house and the Friends apartments :toot: maybe the most of the double points offer plus got the free extra sets.

I’ve got about £80+ of VIP points now, was hoping Thor’s Hammer or the Jurassic Park T-Rex breakout set would go on sale but alas neither have.

Has anyone got the Table Football set? Wondering if it’s worth a purchase.

I would like to see the table football set in person because on photos it looks tiny, I have the T-Rex breakout set and it looks really good and it was a fun build

I got a look at the Table Football set a few weeks ago at the Westfield Stratford store and it did look quite small but I would like to have a proper go on it and see what it plays like.

It would be the worst game of table football you've ever played

Isn’t there supposed to be another Lego Christmas themed VIP set coming? One of Santa’s Workshop that connects to the recent Elves set?

Had a visit to the London store last week, have to say it’s amazing inside. Some of the sets are bloody brilliant too, makes me wish I liked it more to get that involved.

But how on earth do people have the room for some of the sets when they are built is beyond me. :lol:

This is my struggle at the moment :slol: Thankfully there hasn't really been much recently that's been an essential purchase. I keep eyeing up the Delorean, though. It's got to the point now where if I buy *anything* new I have to rearrange everything and dismantle a few sets to make space for it :lol:

I deliberately picked Central Perk instead of the ISS earlier this year because I just didn't have the space. I like smaller, mid price sets that are fun to look at but don't dominate the space they're in.

I do actually worry how many sets I’d have if I firstly had the money to buy a lot more sets and secondly a room dedicated to showing the models off.

Went to the Metro Centre LEGO store with little man today.

Picked up the Christmas Penguin and Polar Bear kits to build together and created 3 Mini-Figs;

Person working behind the till asked him if he was looking forward to Christmas and he said no because his birthday is tomorrow :lol: She then ended up giving him the Christmas Train Creator kit for free, which was super kind (apparently it's a freebie if you spend over £40 normally) and he was over the moon. Should be some simple kits to get him building proper kits.

My polar bears are now made up, it is a gorgeous set so you did well to get it.

Heading to a Lego Store myself tomorrow for a browse.

So very tempted. Especially as I can do it at 5 months for £26 interest free so it's not as painful upfront....

It's arrived, didn't realise how big it was despite seeing it in the LEGO store a couple of weeks ago.....

Should keep me busy this Christmas.
