West Quay shopping centre, if you enter from the pedestrian precinct in the main entrance it's on the right hand side.

Well that was a let down, having a bad day and the Mrs suggested she gets the lunar lander for me as were in Southampton. Of course the only item they don’t have in stock is that, you’d think they’d carry more stock for the opening especially as it’s a kit they have on display.

My day is now even worse rage

Still only matches some other online prices though. Liebherr excavator is still cheaper on Amazon.

Didn't know we had a technic thread on here. Came across is searching for a Pink Pig sticker set for the RSR Porsche...

Been into Technic since I was about 5 or 6. A long time!! Had a real Lego resurgence over the last few years. Have a fair few sets, including both Porsches but have moved into the world of MOCs.....what a place that is.

Have just finished building this tractor. A Challenger MT965E





A great build and with the Buwizz module, completely remote control from my phone. Drive, steering, 3 point hitch and PTO all controllable.

https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-30383/MK.Technic/...

I'm now 80% of the way through collecting bits for this one though. The biggest model I'll ever have built and she's an absolute beauty.

https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-29848/Lucioswitch...

Watch the YouTube video where a hand grabs it for an idea of scale, but this pic gives a better idea.



Just over 10,000 parts, 16 motors, 3 servos, 1 normal battery box, 2 Li-ion battery boxes and 4 SBrick modules. Again, all run via the SBrick app.

I'm doing mine in orange and yellow, in the colours of a local recovery company as they have a very very similar truck. Have a friend who can make up the stickers too.
