Littlespark’s collection

[Moley]

My surname, Birch, has a tartan but wasn't registered until '93 so not a real clan.

Taking the opportunity while wife and kids are away to clean out the garage…. So this lot is in dining room for the meantime…… another smaller pile behind me….

Have you thought of getting some sort of counselling ? ;-)

Nice!
I can just see the front end of one of my favourite sets there - the 8860 car chassis.

Yeh I know….. cleaning out my garage!



This is when I remember which parts I’m missing and need to do a pick-a-brick order….

That 8860 is missing a wheel, DPG

Guess who has offered to loan some sets to this.

They better come back in pristine condition!

Set up this morning for this exhibition…
Added a few things to their Star Wars display, but the black shelves are all mine.

They also had a Harry Potter theme, a couple of basic city layouts, big Disney castle…
I suppose I could have taken much more, but they would have needed another room.

Tonight’s project…. That’s the Xmas vouchers used…..

I am 10+, right?

 

[littlespark]

Whoops. That escalated quickly…..

I bought the Bugatti Bolide when it was on a Tesco club card special…. £27 instead of £45.
Built it, and hidden away on the shelf so the wife doesn’t see….

Last week, it was on their clearance shelf… £25. So I bought another one…..


Wife came back from shopping yesterday….
“Look what I got you…. It was a good price, and last on the shelf. You said you wanted it!”

Also got a bag from eBay with the majority of a second 8860 and 8848 in it

 

[littlespark]

Whoops.


I’ll tell you next week when it arrives.

Lego model of King Charles?

 

[littlespark]

I posted the original smaller version of this way back on #16, then the rerelease on #26 with the female led film remake.

This is the big brother. Another competition win.

“Don’t worry…. I’m wearing….PANTS!

So so sorry.

 

[littlespark]

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me….


Not the one I asked for, but can’t complain.

It says 9 plus….. but I’m actually 7 squared….

 

[littlespark]

Picked this up today from Smyths. I couldn’t see anything else I liked. It’s an 18+ so I didn’t feel bad walking back to the car with it not hidden in a bag.

Will start the build tonight.

What did catch my eye was this warning sticker on the bottom.

Ok…. I won’t microwave it.

I wonder if that’s where I’ve been going wrong with my older stuff???

 

[littlespark]

Realised I’d never photographed the Ford after building, so here it is.

Looks very good.
Has steering, pistons, opening doors…..

And a lever that raises the spoiler at the back.

Also got my hands on this. FB find… Was assured it’s all there, and there’s even a bag that hasn’t been opened.

Stepper motors, light sensors…. This is going to be fun!

 

[littlespark]

This was all on its own in our local Tesco. Only one on the shelf, club card price of £72 instead of £90.
Ridiculous prices.

It sat for weeks over Christmas, moved around a little bit…. But I was never interested in it… not at that price.

Then today, Lo and behold, it’s on the shelf next to the usual Lego… not on the “bargain” end of aisle.
Just as I picked it up to have another look, an assistant came along, took it out my hand and slapped a new price on it.

Well, I couldn’t say no to this, could I?

Rare to get such a bargain with Lego!

Rare to get such a bargain with Lego!

Or anything associated with Star Wars.
