Want!

Two of my life-long loves, Lego and Star Wars, came together a few years back, and have been very successful in parting me from my hard-earned cash ever since.

The latest addition, Ultimate Collector Series Y-wing starfighter looks just stunning:



Somebody think of a good reason why I shouldn't buy one!

Nope. Looks great. Buy three.

The, at a guess, ludicrously large price tag?

Stop being sensible.

But why? It's so much fun to watch you squirm...

If you want to buy Star Wars Lego then I have a large amount of it in my front hallway.

I think there is a Y-Wing in there - but not that particular model. Maybe there is just the X-Wing.

I'll take photos when i have time - but I'll try to check whether there is a Y-Wing tonight.

It's probably this one:



Which was one of the original sets, but has just been re-released.

If you're interested in getting rid of any of it, I'd be more than happy to take it off your hands for a reasonable price.

yes - that is the one precisely. I see how your first Y-Wing is fancier than this Y-Wing.


If you get lego will Jack play with it?

Yes, the new one (and all of the Ultimate Collector Series) are much bigger, and more accurate, but not to scale with the Lego men.

Both are cool, though.

Can't think of any good reasons why you *wouldn't* buy one.

Your (nearly) wife?

Soon-to-be wife?

There are many reasons.

1> there are nicer stes to buy, the star destroyer, Rebel blocade runner, harry potter train, tie fighter set and cargo train all apring to mind.

2> Its not compatable with mini figs, and therefore is s dust gatherer on your shelf, rather than a toy.

3> You need to get the X-Wing First

4> Remote controolled outdoor lego car springs to mind

5> as does technic ferrari

oh - bugger

just but them all, and get alex's lego TOO!!!
