Or Rickenbacker. But not a Strat, unfortunately, I was hoping for a more refined recreation.

The UK is still Europe too, just not the EU! ;)

Given the not so streamlined edges I am still waiting for the LEGO MFN edition. ;D

Probably I can't play that too

True, I saw it on the german website too, but didn’t really check the rest of Europe😀

Yes, it is an understatement, because it was a huge thing for us to have done. Don't worry about us, we will be fine! That's all I am saying on the subject, because you know what they say about politics and religion - they shouldn't be discussed at the dinner table - or on forums, especially AMIT! ;D

Oh my life, what a lego set! Very nice indeed...
I'm not getting involved in the Brexit debate on here and actually I'm not sure this fantastic forum is the place to discuss that...
-
And of course it's available in the UK too!! :wave

Disappointed Mark wasn't mentioned in the ".. few of the icons who have played a Fender Strat" :think ;D

Indeed, and they had the audacity to mention EC! Anyway first impression and it looks good. The guitar is based on a 1970s Strat and they have big headstocks like the model. I'm not keen on the 5 way selector switch and will do something different. Love the in depth amplifier with all the electrical parts inside! I will take the plunge and buy one...may even put a small MK signature on the headstock too!!

let the brexit games begin!!
Boris asks for German Lorry drivers, after the ones from Poland denied his offer (to work over there in Brexitland until December to save Christmas for his people and his ass, after he kicked all those people out of his country) I am absolutely speechless about this guy and the way he treats people, his own included. Just imagine how desparated he must be to - especially - ask ze Germans. And how much more desparated he will be when he gets their answers. It would be really ridiculous if it was not so sad!
P. S. Good luck with the Lego set. Maybe Easter 2022? Corned Beef City is the MK song of the hour it seems.

FULLY agree

Just don't know what it is with some people. Hints and mentions every other week of the B word is bloody annoying and frankly none of your business. You are not British and don't understand as a majority we don't feel European possibly by not being on mainland Europe. I am sick to the back teeth of this. Certain people, including a so-called moderator, have been showing themselves in an extremely poor light in what is supposed to be a Mark Knopfler forum.
I for one am more proud to have left the EU than the day I voted after the way they have subsequently treated us. I would go as far as to say they are evil, but if you want to be a part of an organisation that tried to block vaccinations and PPE coming to the UK (thereby risking lives) then you're welcome to it. Nice folk at the EU. :wave

Actually well put dmg, I have read some 'political' trollop today on here. It's funny we've been having an excellent time on this forum of late but it seems a few 'bad eggs' come along and spoil things....Who is the supposed moderator on here putting questionable comments on here I wonder? This person is not a good advert for being a good moderator it seems...
Quite frankly I thought I wouldn't reply because this really isn't the place to discuss politics but I'm with dmg in saying mind your own business. We are all here to discuss MK - nothing more nothing less...

Relation to the thread??
-
As related to the thread as many other themes I guess. Your last two posts, first the one to dmg and then directly after that the one to me made me laugh (again) because of their different approach.
And it's Pottel who is attacked by dmg here in a pretty rude way, Knopflerfan, with calling him a "so-called-moderator". Just to let you know.
dmg, I don't like to be told what's my business and what's not. To say Brexit would only be related to me if I was British, shows a very narrow minded view in this case somewhat. Or am I for example only supposed to hear German music and no MK, only because I am German?
After the last years of crazy political debate and behaviour of especially Boris Johnson, Brexit was made as annoying as f@%k by the British government to all the world, not only to Europeans. Be assured that you are not the only one who is annoyed. If any, I was attacking Boris Johnson and not the British people or personally you. That's part of discussion culture.
I see a direct connection in talking about Lego as a present for Christmas (it's not UK made by the way) and the current bad situation in British supermarkets indeed. But maybe MK will bless us with a new song about it (My Bacon Beef City) so that dmg allows us to talk about it here again.

I am into Lego by the way but stopped buying it as it is totally overprized and has lost it's spirit long ago. Last sets that were really good are the Saturn V and the Routemaster Bus. This year's product lines mostly are not referring to children anymore but are targeted to Adults only, wealthy Adults. The same ones who generally buy overprized concert tickets or Deluxe content.

Let’s stop talking about politics on AMIT please. No good will come of it. There are thousands of other places to talk politics online if you so wish.

Sorry but your post is ill-informed and childish (Brexitland, I ask you ::)), no doubt fuelled by the leftist mainstream media and pictures of broken down refrigerator cabinets. I have seen no empty shelves near me.
The small lorry driver shortage, and it is very small, is due to a backlog at DVLA brought about by Covid. Although Brexit was originally the issue for the shortfall it would've been solved if Covid hadn't arrived. But this is the issue here: the Polish drivers have found out they're better paid back home because they were getting peanuts here and driving down wages for everybody, and this is the same for many other industries. Some of these migrants are living in very poor conditions sharing an overcrowded flat - it's modern slavery. Tell me that's right. This is one of the reasons I voted to leave.
I was under the impression politics was off the agenda but the digs have been brought up once more. I ignored the first few in this thread but you can push a man only so far. Hero worship the EU in your own time please, I've no problems with your politics. Just don't keep putting digs and jibes on here.
Can we all make a promise collectively from now on never to mention the B word and respect to each others countries?
Edit: Just seen your post Dusty - fully agree.

About time you posted something Knopfler related as your last 15 posts have been total and utter boll€€€s.....

Not from you thank you.
Better check yourself in judging other people's posts as bollocks, bullshit or whatsoever. And please don't start the cry again about rudeness! You seem yourself think that your very own rudeness is okay. Thank you for checking out my post statistics.

Why are you on this forum? You only come on here to cause trouble! The forum has been really good of late and then whenever you post anything it's all negative and absolutely non Knopfler!
You actually come across as anti-knopfler to be honest....
-
Actually not.
I post things and get strange answers and comment on those answers. I detect that it's inevitable to post something and not get an answer from you on everything obviously , as I said last week already. So it seems that's part of "our" problem. I was already here when you never knew anything about Amit and I tried to leave several times but it's impossible to delete the account as I learned so you have to bare with me. ;)
If MK delivers something good, I am the first one to post nice things about "The Master", I promise.
I am interested in first reviews about the vinyl box. Let's hear.

With regards AMIT, yes hands up you were on here first, but not sure if you are implying I should leave here and so will ignore that. I think the main issue is the way you write things and yes hands up I may be one who reads it differently to how you think you wrote it. I promise I'll be a bit more lenient with my answers towards you...
With regards the Vinyl box set you will have to wait until Christmas day or shortly afterwards for an update! Ive, added a 'first impression' photo of it on the correct thread...
-
Respect then for being able to wait for so long.
And funny enough, Christmas fits with this thread also. ;)
Dusty is a vinyl guy, too. So maybe he will write something.

Alas both Dusty & I are bound to wait until Christmas as our better halves have bought them for us....very impressed with both the presentation and also the packaging of the box set thus far....
The only negative I'd say with regards the vinyl box set is that it would have been nice if GH & StP were gatefolds rather than a single sleeve with two Vinyls 'wedged' in!!
Did you buy the CD boxset?

Unfortunately my request fell on deaf ears and this thread has turned into a shit show so I am reluctantly locking it.
