Public service announcement for UK #LEGO fans, double loyalty points from June 19 to 23.
Yes, the weekend before payday. Yes, they do want to bankrupt you.
Yes, you’ll buy things anyway.
That’s how it works!
(Don’t buy things you can’t afford, obviously.)

Today isn’t the most exciting New Lego Day…But this set commemorating Hulk’s decision that the best solution to Thanos is to drive a customised monster truck directly at him, but with Hulk acknowledging health and safety concerns so putting on a crash helmet is one of the best things ever.

If you're celebrating, Happy Valentines Day! And if you're not, absolutely use it as an excuse to build some Lego!
Either way, have a great day!

Lego do refer to their parts using that terminology, especially common in Technic parts.

Probably unsurprisingly, my girlfriend also quite likes Lego. I don’t think she’d complain much if I got her a Lego set for Valentines Day. And even with that in mind…
…I still don’t think this is a great suggestion for a gift idea, Lego.

According to the medical profession the ban is for my own good…Apparently.
But this time of year is definitely Lego season. I got the Endurance for Christmas, but I need to move furniture round before I can build that. So it’s my first Ninjago set on the top of the pile. Such a nice set.

That can go above the shelves. Easy. How about the Batcave set that I never decided if I loved or hated?
(Losing a lot of book space now, admittedly.)

These guys are going to cause a bit of a fuss when their sets release, aren’t they?
It’s very on brand for the show that the image they’ve got has them surrounded by Duplo…But ignoring it to play noughts and crosses.
Who’s excited then?

Listen, I'll be honest...I have no idea what is going on here or why this will come into existence after January 1.
What I do know is that I need it.

I think that Bricklink set was specifically designed to match up with the A-frame, so almost rude to not buy it!
Have you seen the Lego Friends camper van that’s coming next month? Looks ace. If I see it cheap I’m going to retheme it as a food truck as I am building a MOC of those.

You can also just use ChatGPT. Upload the pic in the app and ask it to write alt text. See pic!
I’m not a huge fan of AI, but for things like this it can reduce the effort involved and you can still improve the lives of those browsing who benefit from alt text.

If millennials stopped buying Morrisons Alcohol Free Christmas Puddings with eggs on toast they’d be able to afford a house.

The forthcoming Lego City Soapbox racers, main set and additional ones.
Maybe a slightly niche collection for UK-folk I think, but I’m sure with both a toilet and a hospital bed implausibly rolling down a hill they’ll find an audience here in Last of The Summer Wine fans.

So many comments of "why does it come with a fish?" when that one came out. Almost more fun than the figure.
Always a fan of a Lego magnifying glass too...Second photo absolutely unnecessary for the listing, but who can resist, really?

Bill Watterson. And he’ll say no, as he’s always said no to any type of licensing.
Did you see this set, a gift with purchase a couple of years ago? Officially no relation, but I’ve always assumed is a homage to C&H!

Yes, it shows what is inside so you don’t have to guess. If you’re on an iPhone I like this app:
apps.apple.com/gb/app/minif...
As it lets you do more than one at once. Stack a handful, scan and see. This is the guide from the app’s instructions. Dead easy, been 100% accurate for me!

They’ve got so much better in the last couple of years, especially loved the fox set. All three builds looked great. Have you seen the panda/orca/penguin set releasing Jan 1?
Almost impossibly cute.
Great pics too, obviously!

Well, that was probably worth a countdown timer for (twice)! A whole grid of F1 cars are heading to your Speed Champions collection...Plus F1 sets designed specifically for becoming part of a Lego City.
This is some fun stuff. Expensive overall, but fun.
Thoughts?

I’ve not seen this one before, out next month. Not a fan of the buildable figures like this, but the wings definitely take it up a level compared to others…
Pun not intended, but absolutely left there when I realised.

Does this one count? If not, yes, it’s the first one. It’s a gift with purchase, ie. Free when you spend enough, so get browsing. People will sell the one they get too though, too.
I’m planning on getting the set released next week but I’m concerned it’s going to go out of stock by then!

You should get this guy from the CMF range to sit in the front row like the Coventry fan who made the Crucible change its rules to prevent football shirts.
Yes, I am a minifigure nerd and also from Sheffield. Does that show? Probably.

I'm very, very tempted by The Endurance and I don't really know why. I'm not a ship person, I don't have any strong feelings over the original voyage...But it's just a lovely set.
