You and your partner have proper, meaningful jobs. Lately the fact that my work is really unimportant has been bugging me a bit. Without you, society would collapse. Without me, er... Ehm... let me think...

Well, I think all jobs are meaningful, some a bit more than others.
I bet that there is a someone who really needs the job you’re doing. (Sorry, no idea what that is).

Nice! Is this available now?

Edit. Stupid question, course it's available now because you've got one

Is it?! What if he bought the last one?!

Added some extra drawers. My OCD is killing me... The new cabinet (bottom right with the larger drawers) is 1 cm taller than the ones I already had

My first Technic model...a McLaren Senna GTR. I have a funny feeling this will probably not be my last model from the Technic line. This one rang up at 830 pieces and is 32cm or 12" long. I found it interesting that the steering works, and when you roll the model you can see movement in the engine compartment.

If you like the Senna you should check out the Lamborghini Sian and the Bugatti Chiron. And the Porsche 911 GT3 RS

I can confirm they are great sets. I have them in my collection. Just make sure you have the space for them as they are much bigger than the senna.

They are also a lot more expensive...yikes.

Trigger pulled on the Technic Land Rover... Best price I've seen and I reckon it will be retired soon. That's the 4th kit added currently unbuilt, including the new Star Wars advent calendar.

And I probably won't have a chance over the holidays as we'll probably be in Spain

Still looking for a decent deal on the technic Dom's charger to add to the collection.

And yes, none are planned to stay boxed, I want to build them, just not had time.

Also planning to build a baseplate wall behind my new desk to display some of the kits. (Did some Ikea Lego assembly recently!)

The Land Rover is a great set. Make sure you take your time when building the drivetrain and transfer box. Can be a real pain to resolve any issues once built.

Yes the technic jeep taught me to pay close attention... Had to tear it partially down to correct something, and it's not even close to as complex!

Thanks. I went a bit crazy over the VIP weekend and black friday at the Lego store in London. Just waiting for the new UCS Star Wars AT-AT and UCS Star Wars Falcon to arrive in the mail as they were too big to carry home.

Epic! Think the elf house is created by a guy from Nova Scotia who used to do custom projects and it got him hired at Lego!

It looks like a great set with lots of detail. Not surprised he was hired.

Awesome!

If you ever want to disassemble the AT-AT you will need a SAK: https://brickset.com/article/67650/lego-is-now-designing-sets-that-can-t-be-taken-apart

Had no idea about that. Strange that Lego missed that unless they couldn’t improve it? I won’t be building my set for a while yet.

I really like Advent Calendars. I’ve had the Star Wars set for the last few years. This years looks great too.

Day 1 (if anybody cares

) It's a very strong start with Mando's "Razor Crest". Odd to see this one again so soon, we had it in the 2020 calendar too. It's a slightly tweaked design though so not a carbon copy of a year ago.

Very nice

I remember the one from last year. I’ll open my calendar later today and build mine.

It's definitely a better rendition of the Crest. Most notable is the fact the engines are now more accurately further out from the hull.

Some great looking builds there. Other than your one the steam locomotive looks great IMO.

Locomotive was the winner
