I built the 20th anniversary Slave-1 over the weekend. A decent build if a little repetitive. Hard not to compare it to the great UCS build but the little version actually looks really good with the minifigs and is a bit more Lego-like. Nice Zuckuss and 4-Lom figures too.
Big nerdy complaint (that is really tiny but bugs me) - they have new Han hair (which looks to me more like the guy in the recent movie rather than Ford in Empire) but the carbonite version still has the old hair.

Well this is interesting. Lego has bought Bricklink: https://www.brothers-brick.com/2019/...-julia-goldin/
The interview is interesting because she says there is no conflict of interest but it feels very clear to me that there is - Lego, the primary market, trying to take control of the secondary market. What happens from here I guess hugely depends on their intentions. They could make this a hugely positive move and a way to serve collectors and enthusiasts. Or not. If it were a normal company, I'd automatically assume a negative but Lego isn't really like a lot of big companies in that it is still privately run and essentially family owned. So it will be interesting to see where this goes.

Raced back to the Discoveryland store today, the 40433 Batmobile set that's a free giveaway with the £220 large scale version offer ends this Friday but reports started that stores have begun to already run out of them. Looks like it's genuinely going to be a rare set. Turns out that only the Birmingham (I'm guessing) and Trafford stores are able to sell them off the shelves and they were nearly gone already too but nabbed one. Winner!Last edited by Neon Ignition; 03-12-2019, 21:14.
