The Peugeot is done.



What a cracking build.

I agree, I built it over Le Mans week and really enjoyed it and it is nice that the finished model actually looks something like the actual real thing!

The Peugeot was much better than I expected when I first saw it. Clever suspension, and the hybrid drive bit is nice.

Also a high workings-to-stylings ratio.

Just looked back and last time I posted in this thread was just after receiving the Mercedes Zetros 42129 as a Christmas gift.

Enjoyed that build, my first with RC capability and interesting with the ability to switch on the central diff lock as well.

More recently I bought myself the Audi RS Q Etron 42160, as with some discounts I got it for £105. Not quite as engaging, and quite a quick build. I think I managed it in a total of 6 hours across two sittings.

On the plus side, much quicker than the Mercedes, better gearing on the motors.

Both added to the collection alongside older mobile crane, small excavator and concrete mixer sets.




The Peugeot 9X8 is next on the list, requested as a gift this Christmas if the wife is stuck for ideas.

I'm sure I saw recently that John Lewis have a "spend X get Y off" on Lego sets, but I can't for the life of me find it anywhere.

Anyone seen anything? Or have I imagined it?

I think the discount code was 'LEGOSPEND' but it ended 31/10.

Where's the best place to look to sell Lego these days?

I'm getting to the point where I've not had time to complete a load of kits in the last year, so contemplating moving them on.

There's a non-motoring marketplace section on PH, I assume this sort of thing would be allowed?

Cheers.

Bizarrely I thought non motoring had gone for some reason!
