I have the urge to build a really big Lego model. I saw the shuttle Tydirium (?) today, it looked fun and pricey. But I kinda want to build a big castle. Do they still do those?

Not at the moment. Next year's Nexo Knights theme might be up your street though...

If you're really desperate there's the Monster Fighters Haunted House (or possibly mansion), Vampyre Castle or a couple of LOTR sets that are close. I've got Scooby Doo Mystery Mansion and Ninja Turtles Lair to build.

Ebay, buy yourself a big lot of castle type lego and build your own or follow some online instruction as best as possible. Almost certainly cheaper than buying a large set new. If you want sets and can still find one LOTR Helms Deep is a lot of fun

As part of a work Christmas/Star Wars quiz, we had a tie-break question that asked how many pieces were there in the Lego Ultimate Collector's Series Millenium Falcon. Of the two teams that took part in the tie-break the answers were 80 and 150. A little short of the actual 5197!!

I just bought the LOTR dwarf king hobbit set, really nice even if it is in loads of pieces when built!

Or not. my LOTR-Fu is weak tonight... Looks like £40-60ish without the minifigures. A bit pricey, but it does make a good core for a larger castle. Got the Hulkbuster set today. Looks like much better value than the usual couple of minifigures packed in with generic vehicle that so many of the sets seem to be currently.

They are nice, both Moria and Helms Deep. However, this is the castle I used to have: lego.wikia.com/wiki/6080_King's_Castle My, how Lego has progressed...

Bought my first Mixel today. I feel a little bad about the fact that I mostly bought it as a parts donor - I want the small ball-and socket pieces to rework an existing design. Might actually assemble the Mixel as it is supposed to be, before its parts are cycled into the Polecat rebuild and the general parts supply.
Saw the Ninjago "build-your-own" adventure set in Asda for a tenner - was very tempted - there are quite a few good bits and pieces in there, but I've just spent £70 for a pair of new specs so perhaps in the New Year. It's not like I'll have that much design-and-build time until I'm the other side of revision period anyway.

The Hulkbuster set is great. 3 standard Minifigures, Hulk minifigure and a 6 inch tall mech suit that is one of the most clever and fun builds I've done for a while. When complete it has loads of articulation and is rock solid.
