Superman brand store model
Posted by Huw,
Grogall has sent us the instructions for the in-store build of the Superman model that was available today. If you didn't get to a store yourself, I suspect you'll be able to build it from parts in your collection, although the sticker will be a problem.

Please note that the printed part count (31) doesn't correspond with the parts list on the instructions (40 parts shown). This model will also be done in the US (CA?) on the 19th as a special Monthly Model Build event.
I'd also assume the 12+ is way off, given the small number of basic parts as well. Likely would be 6+.
Whaddya know? Grogall again.
:P
JK, thanks Grogall. Keep up the good work! :D
Is that symbol a sticker or printed cause either way I'm not getting it.
I did this today with my boys - Mayhem in the store. I thought the sticker was particularly bad - actually marginally wider than the brick it was on.
We went to Sheffield, total carnage!!!!! Couldn't organise a you know what in a brewery :-(
I will forgive them this time as I do love visiting the store :-)
Also nice to meet and have a chat with Richard aka bricksan, nice guy and he had a mr gold to show off too!! Want one so bad.............
Yeah, this is happening Wednesday the 19th here in the US.
Leemcg - Which Lego store did you visit?
@Nesquik It was the Stratford store. Not to be disparaging to them, actually. They clearly had instructions from head office that just weren't practical with the number of people wanting to be involved. People get very attached to their place in a queue and I saw some getting really angry that someone else "who was here after them" had already had a go. I sorted out my boys pieces in entirety so that they didn't need to be looking for pieces, and then someone started helping themselves. Lots of pushing.
But then when I went back at the end of the day (see forum, had a special Father's Day model on display) they told me that their supply had lasted until half an hour before the store closed, so plenty for anyone who got there early.
Wow, Superman's really let himself go.
I'm sorry but that looks pretty bad I could build it from myparts but once seeing it I don't think I will...
@Trandoshan, if you think this Superman looks a bit porky, you should see the common comics renditions of him in the 60s - 70s....46" waist at least! :-)
@Trandoshan, yes, that's the George Reeves Superman, not the Chris Reeve Superman! ;)
