Can you justify buying any Lego?
If you can afford it, want it, have the space to put it, is say go for it.

Same, and the reason I've not even opened the Red Five yet!
And then they rebuild them, that is the point of lego. When I had lego castles as a kid my dad didn't sit there tutting every time I broke it up.

Over the next couple of months I'm thinking of buying a few sets - Lego crane, X5 and Tumbler are on the wishlist 
What surprises me most is the price offered on auction sites and some shops are far more expensive than just buying from Lego direct!

Me too, but probably buy a couple as investments.
Already have 1 sitting on my cabinet. Looks good and was a fun build.

Loads of Amazon deals on at the moment, took advantage of the weak euro price and picked up the 24 hr Racer for £63.
Link! I'm all in at that price!

Nice link. £65.61 is tempting, but I don't think I like it enough even at that price point.

Decided to rebuild the Williams f1 team race forgot how bloody big the thing is. Really need a new sticker set as the original went brittle and broke

Took 8.5 hours in total but my 24 Hour Race Car is finished!
It was a really complex and, at times, rather challenging build but I think it looks great.
Some pics and some side by sides with my rather dusty GP Racer:
Now that there built I can understand why the 24 Hour car has had a price hike over the GP Racer. The GP is a bit larger, but there is far more 'too' the 24 car. The piece count must be significantly higher. I do think the GP was a more educational build though. The way the engine, gearbox and pushrod rear suspension all came together as a unit that was then 'bolted into' the chassis was great. The 24 car was a bit less realistic.
But considering I got it for £60 I am very happy! I paid full RRP (£79) for the GP so this was a steal!
