BOUGHT! (Via your website.)

I knew there would be someone else out there who was having the same issue as me. I like your openable door, but it takes a lot of pieces that I might not have. I have considered using stickers to cover the panes, and I might try paint.

Your post just cost me more than £100! :) (I got PotC Mill and London Escape, HP Hagrid's Hut and Forbidden Forest and The Hulk.) Apart from the Black Pearl, I now have all the PotC sets. :)

I definitely care! I used it to discover and order cheap Tower Bridge from amazon.it and cheap Grand Emporium from amazon.es. Thanks for your hard work on the site. I expect you get some kind of affiliate credit for each thing I buy through there though, right?

I'm not a purist, in the Lego sense, so painting the trans-clear ones to look like woodwork would work :D I'd still love to hear if anyone has built their own doors though. I guess hinge parts like this would work, but I will end up with quite chunky doors.

This is excellent news. Is there an existing set that it is most like? Would the Grand Emporium be a good starting point, for example?

I don't want trans clear though. I want opaque. Bedroom doors tend not to be see-through :) You can order the trans clear from S@H for 22p each. The white version of those trans clear ones is only available in one set: The Police Mobile Unit.

They're the ones that only fit the 2x4x5 frames though. :(

I'm building a scaled-down model of my own house, but our internal doors are white opaque wood and should not have see-through panes in them, so the doors sold on S@H are not suitable. On bricklink, I see this door and this door, which would be suitable, but they cost £1.50 each. I need about 14 doors, so am looking for a cheaper alternative for now. I have considered making all my internal doors 2-wide, so I can use those old 2x4x5 frames, but I would prefer not to lose the floor space. So, does anyone have any self-built opaque doors they want to share?

I discovered the other day that you can get 5% cashback from shop.lego.com, if you go there via topcashback.co.uk. Shame I didn't realise sooner, but my last two orders have been over £100, so that's already £10 that I wouldn't have had. If anyone wants to sign up, follow this link and then search for Lego. BTW, the TC-14 promo on lego.com is being added to your basket if you buy anything Lego Star Wars of any value, provided that you spend over £50.

Any Star Wars item in your basket seems to trigger the TC-14 if you go over the £50 in the UK. I bought a Yoda keyring and Modular Firehouse (to open, build and then use for parts) and got the TC-14 included.

Considering they sell products with 16+ on them, I think this is a massive fail by TLG. If you make your own instructions for it, I expect many people would download and build their own. I know I would, if I could get all the pieces.

These are gorgeous to look at. They are well made and well shot. Thanks so much for sharing!

I assume everyone will be buying 5 copies of Weathertop to get all Nine Riders? :)

Fire Temple is £49.99 on Amazon.co.uk at the moment: http://www.amazon.co.uk/LEGO-Ninjago-2507-Fire-Temple/dp/B004OT2S8K I am deliberating over whether to buy it for the parts. Seems like a good deal.

Really nice! I would really fear doing science in that school though.

WOW! Really nice collection.

Just ordered my first modular too! Like someone else above, this was an expensive thread for me to read!

If you stick two 2x2 plates on top of a 2x2 brick, you get a cube. :)

Thanks so much!

I'm not allowed to create a topic here for some reason, but I wanted to share an idea: Could we have a UK thread where we keep track of which types of brick are on the Pick A Brick wall in each Lego Shop? I don't know how regularly people go to their local Lego Shop, or whether we have any insiders here, but it would be very helpful to know whether it's worth heading over to the shop or not. Thanks for reading. p.s. I bought two Apple Tree house a year ago at £29 each, with the intention of building a scale model of my own home. I got side-tracked and only completed the ground floor, but I am now working on the first floor (much harder!).

Yes, it's my default way to buy Lego. :) I've amassed two sets of all mini-figures and even Star Wars Death Star in secret :) I got caught recently, by my wife, but she said she didn't mind it when it's in boxes, but she doesn't like it being left all over the house by the children. I am more of a collector than builder right now, cos I'm too busy with other things, so I don't mind having unopened sets.

Amazon.co.uk have got some decent price reductions at the moment. 22% off a lot of things, like Harry Potter and City. Just search for Lego.

Great photography. My wife isn't too keen on my Lego hobby either.
