I see from EVO's instagram they are currently building the GT3 kit.

Do we think they are going to be tricky to get hold of this year?

I don't think so. If you're interested, there's a group buy here:

I've just seen BA have started return flights to Billund, approx £90 return plus hold baggage fee (23kg allowance...) Who's up for a factory visit?
One of the factory tours is on at the moment, it's roughly £2k for the 4 days i think, possibly more now. You've also missed the booking window, which fills up the years tours in about 3 minutes.

Looking at my VW Camper and Mini Cooper I have noticed that a lot of the white bricks are starting to yellow. What is the best way of making them white again?

I bought the new resistance x-wing, which other than colour is identical to Poe's x-wing. I still prefer the original though.

and don't put it near a window. Faded Lego takes a big dive in value.

New Creator set out next month of the VW Beetle. About £85 if that price on the box is in LEI. Sadly missed out on the last beetle & not paying the silly prices for a boxed set now so this should fit the bill nicely.

Finally - is that a leaked pic or has it been announced officially?

What pieces are used for the wheel arches?

ETA: the flat bit in the wheelarches makes it look less like a Beetle and more like a Renault 4CV or Morris Minor. Won't stop me buying it.

It's not announced yet - that picture came from somebody in Romania who managed to buy it.

Yes I saw it in Bucharest too last week (not my photo though) I did not think much of it at the time as it wasn't in a lego shop, I just thought it was some Romanian rip-off tat and kept walking
