I'm going to email Russ and put a deposit on the Porsche kit, I'm telling you this in case he sells my kit to someone else for more money. Then i'll have to take him to court

Wow that's nice.

Shame the tyres are on backwards

@ Vixpy1

Do we start the roll call of members for the group buy now?!

[russy01]

Excavator = £180
Porsche = £250. Ready to take RC components, will be finished in a classic livery...

Going to be an expensive Summer! Don't forget the Tractor too - that's really nicely done! IMO it should have been the Jan release instead of this crappy helicopter!

[kev1974]

There is a Volvo telehandler type thing as well, not seen a video or many photos of that yet.

I'm up for the Bucket Wheel Excavator, the Claas tractor, and said Volvo telehandler, should a deal come together

[russy01]

Yea the smaller truck thing looks pretty decent too and will probably just as well as the others because of the price point - but in fairness it didn't get much of a look in today as I was immediately drawn to the excavator and porker.

It's very likely that a deal will come together for these, as they are general assortment products that are available to everybody. Unlike the Dr Who (and other special sets) where availability is patchy (as the independents get the leftovers from the national accounts.)

Excellent news Russy

[x5x3]

these are looking great - can someone remind me - 2H availability = mid July to my door?

[Vixpy1]

1st Aug usually

[russy01]

Official launch 1st August. Stock in to me mid-end of July.

cheers - booking holiday now

[Blakeatron]

Porsche will be ordered!

Like the look of the tractor but it won't be on my list, the bucket line is impressively large but again doesn't do anything for me.

Really want to know what the Star Wars ucs set this year will be.

[Bullett]

I think the Porsche for me.
Like the Bucket excavator and tractor but they don't really do anything for me.

[fatboy69]

So it looks as though 'some bloke i know on the Internet' will be solely responsible for causing me, & countless others, quite a lot of grief over the coming months.

Sodding hell Russy.

You are a nightmare!!!!!

[Krikkit]

That bucket excavator is incredible, what a monster!

Damn.

[blueST]

An actual Lego Bagger 288? I'm going week at the knees. I'll be in on the group buy for that bucket wheel, if only so I can reenact the greatest video on the 'net

I haven't done any Lego for almost 30 years, but have enjoyed looking at this thread, although never thought i'd end up buying any lego again. However, the 911 GT3 RS might just be the model that brings me out of retirement!

In that case, maybe I should put 'letter of intent' / deposit down with Russ asap!!
