What is the cargo plane build like? I didn't realise it had power functions.. even more tempted now!
I enjoyed it. I thought it was a good build, and its quite big once its built, and the engines, landing gear and front loading bay are motorised. The flaps are manual. There are a lot of the fixed shape pieces and stickers though.fatboy69 said:

This afternoon I've finished the Technic Pickup 42029 that I ordered from Russ at the same time as the Volvo.
It wasn't a bad build, and I quite like the truck although some people have been fairly critical of it. The bottom pics show it with the wheels from the 4x4 Crawler on, which I think make it look better. I'm also now going to add the motor functions to it.

Finally succumbed & bought 10225 R2D2 from a well known high street retailer beginning with A & ending with S.
It came down the chute & I was given the box. It was slightly damaged. So I rejected it as I keep all my model boxes no matter what they are.
Was told that this was the only one left in stock, they were not expecting any more & a quick online check revealed no more anywhere within a 25 mike radius.
So I complained about damaged box, limited supply of R2D2 etc & guess what?
The store manager refunded me £25.00 & let me keep the £5 money off voucher that I had just been given.
Result - R2D2 for just £125.00!!!!!!

Bargain, I was lucky and got the R2D2 when it was on three for two at Christmas with said retailer. I have got as far as opening one of the boxes but no building yet...

Help me out folks, I need to find a modern equivalent of the 8448 Super Car..
It's not in production any more and the only one on Amazon is listed at £599!
I used to have it, but it's been largely destroyed and I no longer live in the same house.
I'm feeling the need to build something as vehicularly accurate (double wishbones all round, dog leg box, etc)..

For anyone considering this, don't, it was rubbish. Expensive for what it was, no real imagination put in to it, just used to fund someone's collecting. I was expecting a room bigger than my lounge and at least some custom builds.http://www.portchestercommunitycentre.co.uk/events...
