Now that's the millionaire liftstyle that I think a lot of us wouldn't mind, a private plane with what looks to me like a 911 racer in the back. Plenty of spare space for beer too.

I need to start buying Lego again one day, currently I have enough expensive hobbies to keep me poor.

There are too many awesome Lego-themed shops in HK and I'm too weak to resist temptation :'(

Just picked this up from the store:

Pretty cool little build and the minifigs are nicely done.

Can't wait, this would be a great addition to the T1 Camper Bus

 

[killpanda]

I'm definitely buying one when released

 

[mclarensmps]

I'm getting that for one of my really good friends when it comes out. He's a proper Mini buff! Maybe when I do that, it will entice me into buying LEGO again... but I don't have money, I keep spending it on my other hobbies haha

 

[Matt2000]

They've done a really nice job with that, there's no mistaking it. Glad they didn't go overboard and put the Union flag on the roof.

 

[TerranCmdr]

Dammit LEGO, I've always wanted that camper van but this I simply HAVE to get.

RAEP!!!!!! :lol:

After 27 years and a lot of kits, this is the only lego i have left.

When i have a descent place of my own i might get some new technic of even that robotics thing.

 

[TerranCmdr]

Recently rebuilt the Haunted House that was semi-demolished in our move last year. Thought it would be cool to do a timelapse.

Have you guys heard about this site Rebrickable?

I had heard about it before, but hadn't checked it out since it got a facelift. It's pretty awesome - it lets you input all your sets, then you can see what you can build out of the parts you own (I'm trying to build a UCS X-wing). I just took a trip down memory lane last night seeing what sets I own.

Just built the list of the sets I have in HK:

http://rebrickable.com/profile/elpanda/sets

Would be much longer if I brought in all the sets I still have at my parent's place in France though


The feature showing you what sets you can build with your parts is quite misleading though, it gave me a 20 pages list of sets I can build, but it keeps telling me that I miss x number of parts to complete pretty much any set I've clicked on.

 

[Cowboy]

I tried rebrickable, meh.....like killpanda sais, it mostly gives you a list of sets you can 'almost' build, which is sorta like almost fucking Christina Hendricks.

Besides, with the thousands of different lego bricks produced over the years in dozens of colors, and the 'found in just a few sets' parts, giving you millions of different possible bricks/combinations, the ods of taking a small to medium collection of sets, and with them you having ALL the parts for any big set, matching colors and all, is almost 0

Man that was a complicated sentence....I need to go lie down.

 

[TerranCmdr]

True, but it's nice to know I have 96% of the parts I need to build the UCS X-wing, and it tells me exactly what parts I need to get from Bricklink. Very handy in my opinion.
