Good to have a review of the trip. The series of videos showing what went on made for a good watch. Iain was very sensible to book a hold bag and bring materials to protect his purchases. Ryanair and airlines generally can be very sniffy on bags so turning up at the gate with multiple bags could end in a real pickle. Glad that the prized purchases made it home safely. Thank you.

Thanks. I am always very cautious when it comes to baggage and airlines, however next time I would probably just bring all my sets on the aircraft, especially if I went out of season again.

Terrific video Iain because it was so informative. Really had no idea that Bilund in a day was doable. I dare say you’ve inspired many with this video. Regarding Ryanair and luggage. Out of season they are definitely more relaxed.

Hi Iain, love the content and videos of your hauls and travels. When you do go for your brickshows, what do you use to label what you sell? Is it a fixed template on a label machine or something else? Been trying to label up my stuff (especially minifigs to sell) with key information using sticky labels, but just curious what you use?

I use Microsoft word and 3x7 a4 label sheets

Great video and fantastic information re trip. I've never been to legoland but wanted to for years. The closest to me would be Edinburgh and flights significantly higher than Stansted. How many pirates do you think could get on plane home in a rucksack and handheld, 4? 5?

My travel buddy Duncan got 2 sets in his rucksack and another 2 sets he just had in a Lego bag.

Going with free luggage coming back with paid for cabin hopefully it will fit 3 pirates and the new set
