First major price drop on the Chiron, now under £250. Looks like amazon have it at this price too
Certainly a better price but I’ll wait until it’s sub £200 which I think will happen.

Someone managed to build a pretty great looking Lancia Stratos using only parts from the GT3. Doesn’t appear to be any instructions available sadly.

If anyone liked the look of this, the guy is now selling the instructions. Uses only parts from the GT3 minus one extra piece you need for the reverse to work on the gearbox.

Tempted to buy a second set to build this one, shame it's only available in white from China.

Same for me. IIRC the Porsche was sub £200 just before Christmas.

I've got the same got it for £100 from Smyths

Took me about 12 hours to build over a couple of days.

Amazing thing when built.

I want to take mine apart and build the waste truck.

It is a LEGO 42078. How don't you know?!?! biggrin

It is a Mack truck with a self loading trailer and a container.

I got it from buzzretailer.com . As I later found out that it has nothing to do with the shop in London as Buzz Retail... Luckily got paypal involved and got the item after two days from complaining... Somehow it was delivered by Amazon... So be aware of it!

Sorry about the lighting...
