70044 Car is the most popular and looks pretty cool on display (I had one on my desk for ages!) On our website for 34.95... but then the Combination locks, safes, etc all go very well as they are unique subject matter.
Ordered, thanks Russ

I got one of those last year - was an enjoyable build, recommended smile

Here it is next to a Unimog for an on-topic comparison

I have seen these in the past and I have always wondered what they are like Russy’s recommendation and that picture to confirm the scale, I had no idea they were that big, seals the deal. One for my brother for Christmas and one for me!

Thanks, Russy. I had to fess up to the fun police but she took it quite well.

Thanks for the orders today chaps. If you ordered earlier on then it should be delivered tomorrow, a full LWB Sprinter of them when out at 4pm.

Glad you like the UGears. Get another thread started, I would love to see your builds! Great models and a relatively good price point.

So, starting 10am eBay have a 15% off certain categories on site. Including the Toys & Games category.

So this includes all of my LEGO listings...

42083 is already keenly priced at £249.95. So with 15% discount you are looking at £212. If you want one I suggest you are quick...

The code is PRESENTS - minimum spend is £20 and maximum discount is £50 - you can use it once on your eBay account.


Eat your heart out - https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/jadlamracing/m.html?_nk...

I deliberated for nearly a whole 10 seconds.... hehe
I was so determined not to buy a Chiron having bought 2xGT3s via Russy’s group buy and then seeing the prices plummet (probably cost me £140 vs what they go for now - no fault of Russ), but at that price I couldn’t resist smile

Oddly the PRESENTS code only worked for a single purchase (for me at least) otherwise I’d have ordered the Mack truck too?

They are normally for 1 order although you can fill your shopping basket from different places and check it all out at the same time. Then use someone else's account if they aren't ordering anything to do another.

Doh! Still, it did stop me from buying yet more sets that will no doubt end up in the 'to be built' pile!

Am I too late for the EBay offer - I'd like to get a UGears model?

Chiron arrived yesterday as well via the ebay offer. Great service. I'd been dithering over the GT3RS which some places had modest reductions over the last week but really wanted the Chiron so had to go for it.
