Technically it's not false advertising. It's just people daft enough to pay the prices.

There's a guy in the lounge who posted a thread about this today, he got a refund, including the postage, on some RHD car mats he bought from a UK seller (poster lives in Spain) and then complained they weren't LHD (apparently it was the UK sellers fault for not stating they were RHD), he used 'item not as described' solely on the basis the seller hadn't arranged the mats in the correct order in his photo (absolutely nothing wrong with the mats). I assume the seller is now down the postage of around £16. It's this sort of st that puts me right off using Ebay.

I have just ordered a Helicarrier - estimated shipping date 4th March.

Free drilling rig and Winter Soldier mini fig.

Power options sold out - might wait to build until I can buy them (and redeem my VIP points against them).

Very excited! I might be 43 but I still feel like a kid inside biggrin
BOOM! Finally got order in and realised I had £40 in unused points. So Carrier, Digger and Winter Soldier for £229 smile

Thanks to Russ's group buy on the Le Mans car I also ordered two power sets, so good to go for both!

Well spotted wink No, out of stock.

As said above, daft that they don't use the same one as the power functions set? Will improvise at a push!

I think they have the rechargeable one in stock, at around £43 a piece silly.

I was in a local toyshop yesterday and they had lots of speed champions on the shelf... strange that they have them before the online LEGO store.

The Ferrari team truck and F1 car looked quite cool yes
I did look in Intertoys yesterday but they didn't have them - maybe takes longer to get to the provinces of NH wink. I did see on brick shop.nl they had the full set with a slight discount over the prices on the Lego store but . . . . . .well Batmobile too.......

They were on the shelf in the entertainer as well yesterday. Nearly picked up the Porsche set as it's my birthday on Wed and the Mrs hasn't got me anything yet.
