Yeah the Bat cave is really looking nice.

And looking at the size of it all. It's going to be £200 or over I'd guess.

I take back what I said about them releasing Lego based on Star Trek. They're releasing so many nice sets already. It's hard to try and keep up with it all.

I was hoping £120 at the most
 
You guys making my life "difficult". :p

Been thinking of buying a box or two for a while, and now seeing the Ghostbuster Headquarters it's even more tempting, together with the Ecto-1 if so. Or couple Technic ones, anyone got some good pictures or personal views about the following ones:

42009 - Mobile Crane MK II
42030 - Volvo L350F Wheel Loader
42042 - Crawler Crane
42043 - Mercedes-Benz Arocs

Or any suggestions on another Technic model ?? Used to love building these in my younger days, had loads of Lego then. Gave it all away though when I was around 20 to my sisters kids.

On another note, had a browse around for the Millenium Falcon UCS version, found a site where you could buy the Build Plans for it, lowest price was 399 EURO for it ! :eek:

Start with the Pet Shop, for 2 reasons

1 - It's basically 2 buildings for the price of 1.
2 - It's been out the longest, so would be first to be retired.

Also, it's also on sale at Smyths, or you can try to get John Lewis to price match.

Search YouTube - there are loads of reviews and timelapse Lego build videos. I was looking at those above models last week. The build looks fun but the controls for the operation looks very fiddly.

All of those Technic kits are great fun to build. Personally I'd say that the Volvo Wheel Loader and the Mercedes Arocs are the top two out of those 4. The former has radio control functions, and the latter has cool pneumatics to experiment with. Nothing wrong with the other two kits but they have fewer functions to play around with in my opinion.

The Technic 24 Hour Race Car is about £55 from Amazon Germany at the moment, which is a steal!
 
Bought a few sets for the nostalgia value last week and it rekindled my childhood love of technic!!!

I have:
75102 Poe's X wing (built)
75095 Millenium Falcon

Technic:
42036 Street Motorcycle (built)
42039 24 Hours Race Car
42028 Bulldozer (built)
42037 Formula Off-Roader (built)


I think I will buy 1 more, so the question is:

Mercedes Truck or Volvo digger (both around the same price)?????????????
