My Claas Tractor has just arrived from Jadlam, looks awesome!

It has proper agri tyres on so I tried them on my Unimog, looks great! There is a very slight rub on the front mudguard issue when steering. I tried to find the tyres to buy some more but no luck, part number is 6141782

Probably have to wait until the 1st of August when they are officially released.

Claas tractor is £90 through Tesco Direct + 5% cashback.

Arcos assistance required please,

On pack 4, at the point of connecting the 3 blue pipes. The instructions are a little unclear & looks like somebody has gone over it in MS Paint. I have connected the smaller (2in) one to the piece in the middle & the 2 long ones to the grey boxes on each side.

Is this correct? Or am I doing it wrong?

The claas tractor is only £80 at tesco direct. It shows as £90 but there is an extra £10 off code for spending over £75. Just ordered mine and used club card vouchers for even more money off.
£10 off ends tomorrow so be quick.

8386 - Ferrari F1. I need a replacement engine cover/rear wing assembly due to mine getting eaten by my 10 month old GSD!!!

Failing that does anyone have a complete kit they want to sell - fleabay prices are getting silly.

Brick owl or brick link for the parts??

[fatboy69]

That will be my next port of call -assuming I can find the instruction book so that I get the part numbers.

Found this rather useful for keeping Lego sorted whilst building.

Ikea "Kuggis" container / Divider - £5. The only issue is that I had to get a set to test it out with but the Claas tractor is going nicely.

Interesting although nothing there that appeals - although I said that about the recent launches too and ended up buying the Claas Tractor which is superb.

All I really want to know is when the Caterham is due out.

[fatboy69]

Picked this up earlier for £10.00.



It doesn't float - sank straight away!!

However it does have moveable pistons which on something as inexpensive as this was is good.

Now to dry it out.

Someone's nicked the cylinder head...

[fatboy69]

That's what i thought.

However. It doesn't have a cylinder head which is very weird.

Caterham isn't technic.

Something popped up on the Lego Ideas FB page earlier this week indicating that there is a three week countdown, with teasers being posted up periodically, to the unveiling of the Ideas Caterham set. So, w/c 19th September, I'd guess.
