A friend told about this article in today's Guardian newspaper (UK). Interesting article covering many aspects of Lego. Related pictures (great buisness cards!) and the board games sound great.

Just popped back from my local Peter Jones/John Lewis and they had a fresh restock of the Clone BP's 15-20 left, maybe you have a John Lewis near you?

Hi I thought it would be useful if we could start a "UK sales" thread - along similar lines to the "Aussie sales" one. Listing all the deals, offers etc... found online or in-store within the UK. Here is one from Tesco's Direct - Star Wars Naboo Starfighter - 7660 - half price £14.66 http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.201-6403.aspx

Yes looks like the Batman Tommy gun is back :). Also, does Indy have a new tan shirt torso or is that just a German guards torso?

I posted a second copy of the list in error, could this reply by myself be removed? Still want to trade so just leave the top one which i will then edit as needs be.

As you say the blacksmiths backs onto the stable and the oven room backs onto the room with the table and chair. In the other building the dressing room and bedroom become one room, with the cellar/larder backing onto the doorway with barrel room.

It does look like the old brown, but the barrels, telescope pieces and some tiles are in dark brown.

5 fish included

UK prices - Shanghai Chase £25 and Flying Wing £40 as seen today in the Lego shop Brighton.

Ok, ive updated review with lots more pictures. If anyone has any questions or further picture requests then let me know. Time for beer while a gaze at this beauty!

Will try to build asap, might get the kids to help me this afternoon, watch this space.

Hi all, I picked this set up today from my local Lego store in Brighton for £68.50. Here are some pics of the box, contents and figures. Sadly just the one maiden has a printed back, both come with reversable heads. New pieces? Hay cart under tree with blossom The livestock: cows, chicken, duck (mallard i think!) and rooster with nice red plume. Shot of udders Signs Great mechanism for the waterwheel, smooth action as the water wheel works the anvil. Any requests for close ups on anything in particular then let me know! I can't add much to what has already been said about this set before, it more than lives up to the preview pictures, its a truely wonderful set. A minor quibble, the signs are only stickered on one side. The waterwheel/hammer mechanism is great. The furniture design is superb, so simple but beautiful. It was a fantastic build, so many great parts and details. The vast majority of bricks are 1x4 or smaller, it took a while to build (4-5 hours) due to the variety and colour selection of parts. Personally im not a big castle fan but knew i had to get it the moment i saw the preview pictures on here. My daughter was thrilled to see it and immediately started setting up shop scenes while i was building the houses. A real winner of a set that any Lego fan should try and get, at £68.50 its fantastic value! Enjoy :)

It was Brighton Lego store, i have my kids over the weekend but will try and build and review as soon as possible. I thought it was an excellent price! I've posted a few pics of the box, figures etc in the History Adventure forum

Picked up this today in the UK - Price - £68.50

Hi, Thanks for the info. Obviously hoping Lego do re-release! Id prefer to trade for these (7888 Tumbler, 7885 Penguin and 7884 Mr Freeze) than pay over the odds on ebay/bricklink.

Star Wars 6212 X-Wing 7664 Tie Crawler 7665 Rebuplic Cruiser 7666 Hoth Base 7667 Imperial Dropship 7668 Rebel Scout Speeder 7671 AT AP 7673 Magnaguard 7674 V19 7675 AT-TE 7676 Republic Gunship 7678 Droid gunship 7680 The Twilight Indy 7621 Lost tomb 7622 Race for the Stolen Treasure 7624 Jungle Duel 7627 Temple of the Crsytal Skull 7628 Peril in Peru Batman 7784 UCS Batmobile 7886 Harley Quinn City 4210 Coastguard Platform 7992 Container Stacker Plus loads of figs/parts used sets etc.. Thanks

I recently emailed Lego about the availbility of these sets in the future and received this reply. Thanks for getting in touch with us. It's great to hear you're interested in Batman series. We have not made a decision whether this sets will be back in stock again or not. They will not be back in stock before Christmas at least. Is this is normal response from Lego to such questions? They haven't ruled out a rerelease in their response.
