So far I have only sat here and eyed up the box. I think it might be time to get building.
Saw that set in the store, huge box. You have a lot of fun ahead of you
Working my way through the Mercedes-benz Arocs, very enjoyable build.

When I look at that, I can't help think that it's a 3D jigsaw puzzle.
It looks like a really fun build also.

Nice to see some of the new Lego Star Wars out in the shops including the Yoda / R2D2 starfighter sets again.
Apple don't car mounts. As I said I don't have an issue with cheap accessories. It's about blainat clones. IMO any real Lego fan would not touch this stuff with a barge poll
I consider myself a Lego fan, and as such I want a Collector's Edition Millennium Falcon.
Now, since Lego themselves no longer produce the kit, they cannot benefit from my custom this time.
So I am left with the option of either £150 for a Lepin kit, or ~£3500 for an used official one.
Not really a choice in my case.

I bought myself the Porsche set. First lego set I've had so nice I was a kid. Genuinely staggered by the design of it!
Done the first 3 stages, nearly done now.

Or brick link for £600.
Easy choice.
Edit. Even better you can spread it over months so you barely notice the outgoings.
Yep... Do it as a project over a year or two. And know you have the real product and not a fake

Hi folks. So after my initial posts in this thread I have finally got myself something to build.
Started off with a lego city advent calendar.
Then my awesome wife has bought me this:
Cant wait to get stuck in but due to family/friend visits I cant get started till thursday.
In at the deep end a bit - havent built anything in a very long time! So excited though!!

Nice choice, i ordered one today and will be picking it up on Thursday
Oh noes I'm not a real Lego fan. As someone who has spent upwards on 3k-5k in the last 3 years (I daren't add it up) the thought I'm not a real lego fan doesn't really matter to me.

I'm interested in getting the LEGO Technic Mobile Crane MK II 42009 to build as it is a nice challenge and a colleague and I were thinking of getting it for work (school) but he passed away before we got the Lego.
Typically Lego have retired the 42009 so, as a newbie to modern Lego, what are my best options for buying it? I've found it on Ebay but also on BrickLink. There are a few packs for around £190-200. Are these the full pack with 100% of the original box?
