Bought the Artemis today, a grand haul of points meant I only “paid” €92 and still got the GWP love

The built-up example in the window looked amazing, can’t wait to get started on this one cool

From the above post (thanks for the link), my Concorde stickers arrived today, only ordered them on Thursday afternoon, so a pretty good service from the Netherlands. Good quality too.



I've been through the instruction book and ordered all the bits from Bricklink. Whilst some will be parts of the set, the stickers cover multiple pieces at the same time, so I've ordered the whole lot.

This is pretty perfect timing as I'd had an idea on how to display the Concorde, and had already bought the below pieces ready. Anyone guess...?

It's a great set, sold mine recently to help pay for a very expensive downstairs bog. Unfolds like a transformer.

Ah, do they list the replacement parts in their instructions? That's handy - I tried finding what I needed using the list posted on the previous page but got nowhere.

If you happen to have a list you could copy/paste from Bricklink that'd be incredibly helpful! Am going to get the stickers ordered.

On another note, the wheels/stickers for the McLaren arrived a week or so ago but I've not had the chance to open them yet - will let you know my thoughts on the quality etc when I get around to it.

The sticker site tells you what to replace, but not in detail, so I went through the instructions and added the parts to a Bricklink wanted list step by step. I decided I'd replace the red plates with white and not use the stickers they provide to cover them over. They also seemed to have missed the two 2x4 tiles, which have the printed red stripe about half way up the fuselage, and the two 1x6 tiles with printed line near the tail.

I can't seem to send attachments through the PH mail system, so send me a mail through my profile and I'll reply to you with an file you can upload to brinklink.

Uploading to Bricklink is not as straightforward as it should be. Ignore the upload button within a new wanted list as it doesn't work from there with Bricklink xml files!

Do this:
  1. Create a new Wanted List.
  2. From the Want icon (top right), click "Upload" from the drop down list.
  3. Choose your newly created wanted list from the drop down menu next to "Add to"
  4. Select "Upload BrickLink XML Format"
  5. Copy/Paste the contents of the file I'll send you (opened in text editor).
  6. Click "Proceed to verify items" (bottom right).
That should work and you'll have 43 items in your list.

Disclaimer, I've not built it yet, so yet to double check if my list is correct.

Massive thanks to DrG.

It’s always a tad risky buying used sets (even if you have a box full of ‘other bits’, but this was 100% bang on!

And considering this set was released 9 years ago and the developments (unique parts) used in modern sets I don’t think there’s one unique part in this set.

It’s lovely!

I'd love them to do more of the Creators cars (although Creators seems to have been moved away to things like the 3-in-1 sets).

I have the F40, Mini Cooper, Fiat 500 (blue and yellow), Aston DB5, 911 (plus a second 911 to make into the Countach), Caterham, DeLorean, VW Camper (T1 - I wasn't a fan of the T2), London Bus, Beetle, Mustang and Land Rover.

Definitely on my list. The reviews suggested it's not as repetitive as it looks.

Glad you like it. Remember it being a very satisfying one to build.

Is it just me or has the GWP gone - I thought it ran until the 26th? I was going to order some things, but I really wanted the cafe...

Sold out, I think. The Mars Rover and space bike went even faster.
