Thats about 50 quid cheaper than normal isnt it?

Closer to £35 cheaper, but a bargain nonetheless!

 

[Scrutinize]

Is anyone else a fan of the Cobi Small Army series of military construction toys, namely the tanks and planes? e.g. https://www.amazon.co.uk/COBI-2477-...+tiger+131&dpPl=1&dpID=51RisO-CUNL&ref=plSrch

Although not Lego, it's fully compatible and looks great with various mini figs atop. Good solid construction too and best of the non-lego Lego compatible systems imo (ignoring lepin / fakes)

My 6 year old finished the Porsche GT3 RS over the weekend. He did a surprisingly large amount of it by himself. Loads of bits left over though...

I'd never seen the Cobi stuff before but that's really cool. I'm very tempted but I've no room left as it's all filled with Lego SW models.

The Cobi stuff is new to me, the WWII planes look OK

It's good value and fun, usually a 2 hour+ build. Bar Amazon the Tank Museum down at Bovington has a good selection being the originator of several exclusive sets. Pic of my Lego B.A. Baracus atop a Cobi Chieftain for scale.

That will be for the engine rebuild.

New LEGO Creator Expert James Bond DB5..Just announced

Doesnt look too bad..if a little dull

Looks so slab-sided to me, I'd rather save my money for Voltron

 

[Ugley_Matt]

Not keen on the DB5 at all. it looks more like a mini with those angles rather than the nice curves and body lines of the real thing. I guess thats why they stuck to doing flat sided vehicles in the regular lego and used the technics for when they have a curvy body.

 

[Tobywon]

Having been very excited for this, I am now very disappointed, that's horrible, no DB5 shape at all, all that hype to produce that, it's embarrassing, can't see it being popular looking like that.

 

[theone8181]

Its finished

I preffered the build of the snowspeeder to slave 1 though. Looking at the info sheets on the front slave 1 should be approx 4 times the size of the speeder .

Lego Bucket Wheel Excavator for £108 on Amazon Prime sale.... Appears to be a lot of lego for the money!
https://www.amazon.co.uk/LEGO-42055...ion/dp/B01CCT2ZIG?ref_=Oct_DLandingS_PC_NA_NA

Delivery received, straight into hard mode...

 

[Tobywon]

It's a great build, even the dump truck is fun!

 

[theone8181]

Had i not bought the speeder a couple of weeks ago i would definitely got the excavator (its on my wish list).

 

[PinkFloyd]

I ended up skipping the excavator in the end. As much as a part of me wanted it I remembered I've still not finished someone I was making a few years back due to other distractions so passed on it. Another time maybe!

The carpet, rug and fire place make that picture look so cosy.

I had to move the millennium falcon today! Put it in one piece in the back of the car on a blanket and drove very carefully to the new house! Was quite an effort!

Going up the stairs was not fun!
