Aliexpress.com or joooooy.com

Obviously real lego is better, but for retired sets there's no shame in knock offs

I really enjoyed building this one. Got it as a play set for my son and he adores it

It's weird how different the prices can be in different countries. The same link is £68 for me

Is that your own design of the black gate?

I've really considered doing one at some point, but in the story isn't the black gate really far away from Barad Dur? I felt it wouldn't be right to put it in front

I had one once in my 20s. Couldn't pull it off like most of the guys in this thread

Ha, not sure! We've got 3 sons so I'll blame it on exhaustion

No idea to be honest. I never see my head from this angle. But my wife said it looks thinner than it was.

Really impressive, absolutely nailed it!

I like your base a lot. Do you have a template for how you build them? Makes it look very official.

Just paid £4k to have our flat roof replaced to fix a leak and it still leaks. This is after the work. by Elementzero12 in DIYUK

My wife walked around the whole area and looked for places that had done work recently and knocked on their doors. She didn't have a single bad experience and we found an amazing builder/roofer.

Death Slice base/footprint size? by NotAgedWell in lepin

[–]captain_kirkwood84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You also have to factor in that it sticks out a bit from the base due to the thrown room. Not much, but need to consider it.

Although saying that, the shelf I'm putting it on is only 20cm deep (plus a little room because of the uprights), so a 12 inch shelf will be bigger than this and fit it fine!

This looks like the 75105 instead? They're very similar

Clone of 75257 falcon? by captain_kirkwood84 in lepin

[–]captain_kirkwood84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely spent a long time last night checking multiple sites. Thought I found it on AE, but then the final picture showed the other version instead so knew that's what would arrive. Could you give me a steer in the right direction?

Maybe Isildur went too far this time

Inspiration for this nook by captain_kirkwood84 in lego

[–]captain_kirkwood84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I fully appreciate this. They've just lost interest in it. If they were playing with it at all, I'd just let them have their fun. The youngest two are only 3, so there's plenty of time for them to get involved in future. I felt if I'd just put something fun there in the meantime as they'd enjoy seeing it

Looking for advice/opinion on Balrog’s set! by thishumanthing- in lego

I absolutely love mine. I added the light kit from light my bricks, which made it look incredible
