I've been strategically leaving the Saturn V page up on my laptop here!

I told my Mrs if I get a good mark in my ou coursework I'm buying a falcon, lead balloon springs to mind when she replied. I'm just wondering what will win out, her or my addiction to lego. It's not helped by December being bonus month.

Falcon is a good build, and it's a lot of bricks for your bucks.
My Tantive is still in its box along with the Snowspeeder and Y Wing. Getting lazy in my old age.

From what I heard it may be US only and due to investment value I can see that going fast

Yea I had noticed that. Seems to be either smyths or John Lewis, I've not heard of half the other shops before, even Argos doesn't sell it but then again it's a niche product I suppose.

A couple new kits here, again not proper Lego so I know that divides opinion but I'm a fan as they offer interesting models and builds. First up a technic Morgan 3-Wheeler by some unknown brand. The model itself is pretty good and the build was interesting, plus its a decent size; however the parts for this one were very poor quality, plastic felt very brittle and the fit for a number of pieces such as connector studs/rods was quite loose.
Next up a non technic model, a 911 by a company called Mould King. Really really impressed by this one, fun build and it looks great but more impressive is the quality of the kit, other than having a Lego stamp on the pieces you honestly wouldn't be able to tell the difference. They do a couple of other cars from this range and tempted to pick up.
Lastly tidied the loft a little, 'almost' agreeing with the wife that there may be too much of it now and getting a little crowded....need to fit another shelf to fix that!

Dam i was all set to order the falcon then lego have emailed that they will be doing a discount on stuff for black friday. I'm going to have to wait and see what they do, i'm getting the shakes lol.
They did the 30% off this weekend, a couple of good models in at staggering prices as well, it would have been nice to get the wind turbine as I already have the included ideas sets
@theone8181 John Lewis have money off the wind turbine, shop around 
No chance on a discount on the falcon, most discounts are on sets they can’t shift easily or are being discontinued at the end of the year.
Hence things like ship in a bottle and the app controlled bat mobile are on offer. Both were very expensive for the piece count.
