I also don't like it.
I think having a colour background same as main colour hides details.

They'd look better without a backplate

I'm going for the 45° angle for mine

For 45 degrees I assume you mean sideways on, otherwise they're going to stick out loads

Honestly I don't like that. The top down view of these cars is the least interesting thing about them

Maybe a colour matching horizontal floating shelf for each car may look better

That does look good and you can fit a lot more on. I've mounting the batwing, the chiron and the rsr in a line vertically amd that's basically the height of the wall :cry:

They’re pretty cool, might have to get them.

Smyths has got a spend & save on lego running in parallel with existing savings.

Managed to get the falcon onto its stand and onto its table. Glad I did it after completion of the underside (bag 10) and before the top panels going on. Made it much easier. Only one lower panel fell off during the process. I can now just clip the top panels on as I finish them.

He says confidently yet nervously.... :cry:

Don't worry someone will knock it off the table :cry:

I want to get the Delorean before it go Out of print. And perhaps the Ghostbusters car.

I say yes for sure get the Delorean

I watched the first 2 back to the future films again only about 2 weeks ago

The Ghostbusters car is already end of life. GO GO GO!!!!11

The DeLorean only came out this year, its got at least another year on it yet, if not more given they could not keep it in stock for most of the year.

£10 off at Zavvi is that's what you'd call a sale

They have £30 off the Ghostbusters car as well.

Job jobbed

Roys.co.uk have the Ecto-1 at £140, but it seems collection only.

Once its' gone, it's gone I guess.

I see the ISD is officially gone now, OOS at lego.com and John Lewis who was the only other stockist.
