Bought myself one of the Chinese Lepin kits, the Porsche GT3. Went together well and impressed with the result

That will be the one I just wondered as I also am looking at the camper but don't really want to buy both together so was going to do one or the other

So just finished box 1 of the Porsche, The complexity of it is pretty impressive!
However I'm left with these pieces left over which is slightly worrying!

Lol, shouldn't worry about it too much, i've had left over bits even in the star wars micro fighter kits. I used them to mod the microfighter star destroyer as it was a bit plain looking.

I had a few spare parts by that point. Don't remember having the larger back parts though!
The paddle shift gears is simply astonishing! It's a shame most of it gets covered up under the car by the end.

i'm nearly finished mine and i've had those small pieces left over but certainly not those black strips. I think you might have missed something!
So I've been playing Lego Dimensions with my son today and I'm seriously impressed with it.
For those that don't know what it is - you build Lego characters & vehicles which you can then play with in the game, by placing them on the Dimension Portal. The amination of the characters is awesome and there are loads of themed worlds to explore. You can also upgrade the vehicles using the Lego studs collected in game, which triggers a new/upgraded Lego build.
These are the sets he got for Christmas but I sense there will be more coming soon.

Done some more on the excavator today. Stages 3 & 4 have taken around 4hrs but im not exactly rushing. The level of detail and design is brilliant with this kit. Stage 4 has been the guts of the gearing for the power functions. Really happy with the results so far. I have posted pics below. I put them in spoiler tags as I know there is another guy also building this kit so dont want to ruin it too much 
Stage 1 & 2 finished, tons of bags to go!

Big fan of Dimensions, but be careful with the cost: if you want to unlock everything you'll be needing to buy a lot of packs.
I'd highly recommend the Lego Dimensions tracker spreadsheet:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Legodimensions/wiki/tracker
This helps you keep track of your spend and what abilities you have. Obviously the first priority is what characters and themes your son likes, but this has helped me avoid spending on figures that aren't going to see any use.
How is the SSD build? I just ordered the SSD and UCS Falcon for doing in January.
I have a real Red 5 and Tie Fighter so will compare the quality of the kits against those but took the plunge on the OOP stuff.
I saw that loads of people had a lot of issues with the gearbox when it was first released but I have finished box one and I have not had any friction issues at all. As with all Technics I built I just left a little gap on all the moving parts so they are not rubbing. Doing that normally eliminates most problems.
