In answer to the above question the DeCool Chiron is £99 shipped on Yourwobb and £77 from Jeremywhatsup I've bought from both shops although not a Chiron.

But the linked AliExpress site no longer has it. I was very tempted but it had some very poor reviews on the quality of the kit. Hopefully someone has another go and does a better job.

You can still buy the moc instructions from Bricklink I think.

decided just before Christmas that I really wanted the new Batmobile set...and found one on FBM for £150 less the figures...which I wasn't fussed about anyway.

Anyway, got it all built and decided to do yet another timelapse...so a link to it is below

Love this set next to the Tumbler and Batpod and really can't believe how big it is

Has anyone ever bought anything else from AliExpress outside of ‘Lego’?

Watches? Tech?

All the parts for the technic lego there, plus found an extra 'gift' at the bottom of the box for a mini Bugatti (with one wrong piece)...

Hi, I have just started building this model also purchased from Yourwobb. Did the mini Bugatti come in a separate bag from the main model?
i have one big bag of parts unlabelled which is bag 1 and then several bags within larger bag labeled 2-6.
Thank you
Ian

If I remember correctly, it was inside bag 6. I downloaded the instructions from the net...

Lego has won a substantial Chinese copyright judgement after a court upheld all of the first-instance rulings on 18 existing infringement claims, originally handed down in favour of the Danish toymaker against a Chinese rival’s ‘Lepin’ trademark.

A statement from Lego revealed that the company had now received “favourable final decisions” from the Guangzhou IP Court in China, and this “marks a significant legal victory for the Lego Group to combat against imitators.”

Shantou and its affiliates (makers of the ‘Lepin’ products) must now pay Lego a total of RMB 4.7 million ($680,000) in damages, cease all forms of infringement immediately, and make a public apology on the websites of China Toy and Juvenile Products Association and Guangdong Toy Association.

Rectification / Clarification of the services of YourWOBB

Today I had good email contact with Loy from yourWOBB. Earlier I posted a negative review because yourWOBB did not respond to me for about a week even though I sent him several emails. This happened exactly at the same time I ran out of options about a package that wasn’t delivered and asked him for action/what to do. Because they usually answer really fast, it felt like radio-silence from his end.

Today he told me that he did try to answer me via mail, but that I did not answer him. The strange thing is that I did not receive his emails. I checked my spam folder, I checked if I had blocked his email/extension, etc. Mail from other people and companies did come in; I tried sending mails from other providers to myself and that went well as well. And nobody else said emails didn’t arrive.

Due to this technical problem this situation became way worse than it should be. yourwobb also did sent it to the right address, it turned out the Dutch postal carrier gave me wrong information, my sincere apologies for this. Unfortunately it did not arrive at the other address. I told yourwobb what he could do about it (call the Dutch company for an investigation because in The Netherlands only the sender can do this) and yourwobb told me what I could do (call the post company to ask about this, but they cannot help me much as a receiver of the package), but I think there was some misunderstanding between us on this topic.

So, bottom line: Loy did try to answer my mails, but I did not get them, and he did sent it to the right address. I feel bad that they got negative publicity of me, because they did not deserve that at all.

Furthermore, they promised me to send another package with another postal company.

Very unusual as LOY has always responded with 24hrs to any enquiries I have had with him ,always very courteous in his replies and actions .Sadly not all suppliers are the same had no end off problems with one company sent wrong colour, did receive a replacement in around 10 days ,but trying to return the wrong item was a nightmare given no less that 3 address's 2 in Germany 1 in the U-K. eventually got contact who paid carriage and goods returned ,will not use again .

I love having the parts separated into bits. I have boxes with compartments; one compartment for one part, or I'll group by type, such as all gears and cogs in the same section. My boxes all have lids so I can move them easily. Helpful when the wife moans about me taking over the dining room table, I can easily move to the office.

I saw the Friends kit displayed in the same case as the Stranger Things set in the local toy shop.

The Demogorgon was in the cafe, playing the piano. hehe

That's amazing!! I also like the MOC of the republic Cruiser too, which I think is on a scale to the UCS ISD's etc.

Ok so too much to drink Friday night and bought a Super Star Destroyer. Got it for £74 and it was delivered a week later (last Friday). Over 3 thousand pieces and 1.2 meters long!

I wasn't expecting it to be any good, its seems to be 10% of the equivalent LEGO (who would pay that??), but I'm two-thirds through and no missing parts yet and the quality is amazing (aside from the STAR WNRS banner).

This is my first model, and I'm finding it quite a mindful exercise putting it together so will very likely get another one, probably the large Falcon.

Did I just get lucky or are others buying these - I got it from WISH. I also ordered a t-shirt with Pingu saying Hoot HooT Motherf*cker but it hasn't turned up yet - my missus is now banning me from going online when I've had too much vodka biggrin[url]
