Had anyone built the Concorde with alternative stickers (the BA ones) like https://www.brickstickershop.com/Alternative-Stick...
When I’ve a bit of time over the weekend I’ll sit down with the instructions and work out how many pieces need replacing

I would prefer to build the BA version as it's the one that's most familiar to me (unsurprisingly). I thought about working out the bricks that need swapping in to make it work but I haven't had the time - someone must've made a list somewhere though I'm sure..?

I like the BA livery Concorde but I expect it will be a complete pain to change an already built model without dismantling most of it. A lot of the pieces are connected from multiple directions with locking pieces so can't just be taken apart like you usually would. All part of the fun though

The answer is 'buy a second one and have a fleet'.

I was lucky enough to fly in Concorde in '95 now that I can buy a sticker set to replicate the appropriate BA livery has swng my decision to buy a set. Pity I don't know which actual aircraft I flew in.

Already visited the site, probably end up oprdering the stickers before I get the set :-) Then see what parts I've already got, or buy new from BrickLink.

[Sway]

Well this is damned cool... Unfortunately, they've only done a tiny amount.



They've said on their Facebook post, if enough people comment then they'll consider doing a proper production run.

Get on it boys and girls!

I've been trying to get into the Leicester Square Lego store for ages since the refurb, but the queues have always been ridiculous, walked past yesterday, no queue, straight in!

I didn't realise they had expanded of the top of the tea shop next door, it's huge.

Anyway, picked up the Telephone box, woman behind the counter asks if I have got an VIP vouchers, I said I will, but not a lot, she checks... £79...



Telephone box for £20, result!

Mrs Megaflow asked how much I have been spending to accumulate £79 without realising!



ETA: Saw Artemis in the flesh...

Its probably best you dont tell her
Ive just cashed in enough points for UCS interceptor and the Jazz club modular.
Hate to think how much that cost.
And also dont think what all/ any GWP have cost

If you remember the date and destination you may be able to track it down. E.g. Heathrow flights can be downloaded here: http://www.lhr-lgw.co.uk/heathrow-archives-1990.ht...

Interesting, but how do you decipher the archive?

My flight was 26:Oct:1996 BA001 10:30 to JFK (I kept the boatrding cards as a souvenir)

Found this one,
BAW001 GBOAG CONC KJFK 1436 1030 1422 V14 4 27R 1 1 281096

G-BAOAG is on the sticker set.
