“ Highly swooshable, play features include an air-to-air missile loadout, detailed cockpit, working rudders and ailerons, functional landing gear, and a custom pilot minifig.”
I really like “highly swooshable”!

Take him to Alnwick. Not just the castle. The Swan Hotel for Obi , the original fittings from Titanics twin sister RMS Olympic. Almost 100% the same as Titanic -
NB. Grand staircase, Revolving doors and the restaurant is in what was the 1st class lounge

Google the White Swan, Alnwick. There are LOTS of photos on the net.

If my memory serves me, that base was for the old Lego fire house. I had it when I was a kid.

That’s right, that baseplate is about thirty years old now.

Those ships/speeders are awesome! They remind me a lot of the things my youngest brother used to build.
It’s quite amazing how good young kids can be at building with those special blocks. I don’t think I’ve ever been that good.

Pictures coming after I figure out how to smuggle it into the house past Karen…

So, Discovery I picked up as my traditional end of semester treat to myself (got it early because the set is getting harder to come by), and then a couple of days ago, this popped up on my radar on Facebook Marketplace- built once, then put back in box with all the pieces verified- for less than half retail price (this one is also hard to get hold of).
