    Thanks for your reply. Smyths used to do good discounts on big Lego sets but they seem to have dried up. I remember getting Ninjago city for 25% off! I got 25% off Tudor Corner from Argos too recently. I wonder why the NHM is exclusive to Smyths? I'll probably do the same as you, just wait for double VIP points and a decent GWP. I'm half tempted to wait and see if it's in the Black Friday discounts as the sets nearing their end of life often are. But then that runs the risk of missing it all together....

    Has anyone seen a UK discount on the Natural History Museum before? I can't recall one. I know it retires this year so just planning the best time to pick it up

    Looking forward to seeing the entries. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up making a tcg card based on the set

    £146 off the big Charizard/venusaur/blastoise set on Amazon already. Feels like a more reasonable price. Be interesting how much and how often these are discounted

    Yeah I dont like any of them. My wallet is relieved
  6. squiz18
    Sounds good, looking forward to seeing this one. Must be pretty big for that price, and to fit a scene in.

    Saw these figures on bricklink so looks like they went past 150,000 sales. 42,000 / 42,000 / Alchemist’s Shop 40,000 / 40,000 / Sushi Restaurant 40,000 / 40,000 / Privateer Frigate Fortuna 16,174 / 30,000 / W.A.L.T. 14,057 / 30,000 / Antique Collection TOTAL Units Sold = 152,231 I was tempted by the sushi restaurant but didn't pull the trigger. If fomo kicks in I'll get it on ebay. From what I've seen most of the BDP sets don't seem to increase massively on the aftermarket.

    looks like Sushi, Alchemist and Fortuna have sold out, in the UK at least
  9. squiz18
    Looks like the funded bars have gone this time. All but the antique collection just say funded 30 minutes in. I'm most tempted by the sushi restaurant, but think I'll skip all of them this time around. Not enough space and can't justify the spend.

    I'm on the fence with it. I want to love it as the book is so good, but I'm not a fan of the scale, especially in relation to the huge stand
  11. squiz18
    I'll be the first one to say I'm not a huge fan. I think it's too white so the outside looks monotonous. I like the figs and the throne room at the back but the view from the front isn't doing it for me. I love the books and films of LOTR but have held off from the Lego sets. Now seeing this, I'll pick up Rivendell and not worry about 'completing' by getting the others. I don't think they'll display that well all together.

    Its on reddit, if you search Lego Minas Tirith, or join R/Legoleak it's on there

    The difference is when the pre order came back for a second time, the GWP wasn't available. The numbers of available GWPs was in the T&Cs so I think it's likely they sold that many sets (over 32 million dollars in about 12 hours!). Then the second preorder round was presumably a bit of extra stock. I suppose it's the GWP that went out of stock, rather than the set itself. Preorder is unavailable again, at least in the UK Yeah, Jang discussed that in his video. This was the Brickset comment that he referenced which seemed pretty spot on:
  14. squiz18
    Preorders for the big 3 set are exhausted on the US, UK and AUS lego sites.
  15. squiz18
    Good to know, I've edited my post. Think there might have been some confusion as it wasn't showing with pre orders straight away. I've seen people cancelling and re-ordering and getting it. Think people are assuming the worst with this as trying to buy pokemon cards is a nightmare at the moment.
  16. squiz18
    There are a limited number of GWPs available (around 22000 apparently). You do get it with a preorder.
  17. squiz18
    the big set is now on the Lego website! https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/venusaur-charizard-and-blastoise-72153
  18. squiz18
    yeah I like the lighning bolt base and that it's coming out of a pokeball. But the face looks a bit off. Not going to be rushing out to get that one. The GWP press release stuff confirms it's Venusaur, Bulbasaur and Charizard as the huge expensive set. The GWP is exclusive to that.
  19. squiz18
    The Kanto badges GWP has leaked online. Looks pretty good, though the 4 piece transparent lid does detract from it.
  20. squiz18
    So excited for this! Loved the book. I'd really recommend reading it. I hope the film does it justice. Can't wait to see the lego set!
  21. squiz18
    yeah agreed. I was surprised the piece count is as high as it is. But I suppose the perimeter of the building is longer than a regular building due to the quirky shape The 360 degree video clears this up. There are big windows at the rear of the room, backing onto the alleyway.
  22. squiz18
    Is it me or does it look like the smaller building on the right hand side is open at the back? In that photo of it with the car you can see the wall and the table through the front door
  23. squiz18
    Seen some rumours today that the $650 set is Blastoise, Venusaur and Charizard, not squirtle, bulbasaur, charmander. Hopefully hear some more info soon.
  24. squiz18
    Blacksmith has leaked in the usual places. Looks great!
  25. squiz18
    Really looking forward to seeing these. I'm assuming based on the price that the pikachu & pokeball set will be at the same scale as the bulbasaur, squirtle and charmander set. You'd hope they will look incredible for the price and piece count. Question is will they look £800 incredible.....
