Hi folks, I'm in a similar position to Arlie above. I have a collection of sets I'm looking to sell (see below) and wondered if it would be better trying to sell as a job lot or individually - what are people's experiences?

Thanks

Sell big sets individually, and perhaps group the smaller ones. When it comes to large sets many collectors will already have some and might not want 2. Also paying for 1000 worth in one hit is pretty serious !

The most interesting part of that article is the statement that this is the first model in a new series.

I think that's a bit harsh! But, the designer did cheat a bit with new bits.... wouldn't it be nice if we could all ask Lego "I just need you to make these bits"
Not sure about the colour though!

[Turquoise]

Look how accurate other models are such the unimog or the tumbler. By comparison I think the Porsche is poor effort.

With any luck, the orange bits will have been available in another colour for a different model failing that somebody will be parting the kit out & I can buy another set of orange bits and spray them black!

I think that it's intended to be motorised and RC compatible. If so, then with the cost of the radio gear added in it's going to prove pricey!

ETA Having read the guff and watched the video, I'm not so sure now. You'd have to gut it to install radio gear. And I'm with those who thought it more convincing as a prototype.....
