I guess the little indie shop I used to get my stuff from marked them up a bit too.
Aww man, I used to love man o war too. I wonder where that went...

Yeah, I thought 40 quid was a bit high.
I remember going into the little indie gaming shop in my hometown with (probably) 30 quid clutched in my hand. I guess I was about 12 and I think it was the most money I'd ever had at that point and I'd saved for ages to get it.
When I proudly went up to the counter holding the huge box the lady behind the counter said "It's very expensive, are you sure you have enough money?"
I just realised that the 2nd edition was before the turnover rule, which is why I didn't remember it and had a hard time getting used to it in the PC game.

I've just built some of the Speed Champions sets - Lamborghini Countach, the 1970 Ferrari 512M and the Merc AMG twin pack of the F1 car and the Project One superhypermegacar. I'd always overlooked them until now, but they're great sets and pretty affordable. Must. Resist. Collecting. Addiction... I got one of those when they started using the new chassis piece. Collected everything since. Great builds, and kid friendly to play with. For the most part

Picked up the M1000RR as I’m a sucker for motorbikes and the V4R was ok but not amazing. Looks massive so far and I’ve only done the engine, thought I could build it with my eldest but it’s too technickie for her so far. I’ve got the Saturn V stashed away for the summer which should hopefully be more her speed

Oh shit that looks amazing!
I was tempted to pick up the Horizon set last week when I was in town. But decided to wait.

Official pictures are online. I'm not yet sold on the way his head looks. It looks too 'flat'. The rest of the model: Amazing!

Shit, I forgot the Horizon set came out this month, and can you find it anywhere? No you bloody can't! 😅 I managed to pick it up from my local Smyths Toys - though this was over the bank holiday weekend when it released. They all seem to have sold out now. Not started building it yet, but it looks good - there’s plenty of detail in the model and who wouldn’t want an Aloy minifig!? It seems to have sold well judging by the present lack of availability, so I’m hopeful they might put that rumoured Thunderjaw set into production… Optimus Prime looks great. I definitely want that… my wish list seems to keep growing though… I’m still “considering” the R2-D2 and The Delorean BTTF set!

I take it back about stock of the Horizon set! Not many in stores, but Smyths are pretty good buying online. Sets I’ve order from them have been well boxed.

Back in the old place, one of you magnificent posters put up a post and picture about how they made a minifigure display from an Ikea frame.
Would love to see it again

Mounted the Saturn V today. Used this (https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/753926496/wall-mounting-kit-for-displaying-apollo) mount in the horizontal configuration, which I think I found linked here or in the old place. Very happy with it!

I've spent the past few days building the new Technic Ferrari for Brick Fanatics. Review went up this morning. It gorgeous, but a mindscrambler to build.
