I got the Beatles Yellow Submarine (21306) set for my birthday, and after enjoying a meetup at the pub with friends, I came home and decided to build it with Alistair “helping”. There were five numbered bags, not too many bits in each so it was easy to build when ever-so-slightly squiffy after the pub!

Most of Alistair’s “helping” seemed to consist of placing the Brick Separator in random wrong places. “Unauthorised Brick Separator In The Bagging Area!” 

Eventually I managed to get the brick separator out of his hands for long enough to finish the job properly. I loved the minifigs, and the really original use of red frankfurters as the conning tower railings!

So all in all an enjoyable build. The only thing I will say is – what the hell is this? Also included in the set…
