Did you get these on eBay then?
Have made an offer on one on eBay (a bulldozer), but the first digger I posted today was on bricklink. The grabber + power functions is Amazon
You should go for something bigger like the Falcon, that'll take you a good amount of time to build, how long did the crane take to build, couldn't of been long?
Not at £2000 ~ £4000 a go I can't afford that at all, it's big but it's not Technics, that's where my real love of lego lies, in the engineering.
The big 42009 Crane that I got was what I'd call a casual build, around 20 hours. Took my time, and it's one of the first kits I've built in years so I took my time and enjoyed it.
X-wing took an afternoon, and B-wing took an evening, both a pleasure to build
Are you getting that Simpsons set?
Nah, tbh I don't see the value in it, it's great has a lot of quips and details, but that kinda stuff just doesn't do it for me. I like gears, sprockets, reducers, linear actuators and pneumatics!
I'm not a fan of all the 'pre-made' pieces you find in the more kiddy sets now, like.. instead of making you build something, they'll provide is as a single moulded piece kinda thing? Does that make sense? I get why, totally, younger audience. But I was young when I started building lego sets I was fine with any set I had at any age... So from that point of view, I still don't like it
I don't really like how the Simpsons characters have fully moulded pieces either, they're not in, what I consider to be, the traditional 'minifigure' style, but again that's just my opinion.
Edit: Where is that chopper for £70?
Also is that death star the first one? or the 'new' one ?
