Exactly - high degrees of temptation!
I have used them and I agree. I bought first the Saturn V launch pad which was a challenging build ..... and blogged in its own thread. Am waiting for delivery of a space shuttle, Ferris wheel and antique collection modular building.
Sorry if we're going off on a tangent, but is the quality of the pieces and instructions on a par with the 'real' Lego? Are they a carbon copy/interchangeable with the corresponding original?
As I'm a throw the box away type builder, being able to buy 3 creator style cars for the price of one seems like a good idea to me.

Also to avoid the tangent please have a look at my thread for the launch pad..... probably should answer questions there! As I'm a throw the box away type builder, being able to buy 3 creator style cars for the price of one seems like a good idea to me.
But yes and no!

Maybe a connection not quite engaged properly in the steering racks? Or another component restricting movement?
Is it the same no matter which beacon you try? Or is one worse than the other?
Both lights, both ways, one option is to do a partial strip down to see if I can identify where the tightness is by separating the linkages. I didn't build it so I think probably I'll go back through the instructions to check it's been assembled correctly but normally he's pretty good....Is it the same no matter which beacon you try?

'This transaction cannot be completed because it violates the PayPal User Agreement.' - I'm assuming it's something to do with being Chinese 'replicas' (though what I was trying to purchase weren't Lego copies).
Anyone else - or just me?

dont want to upset the Lego guys about copies that is why there is a dedicated site this forum to go to ...on a personal note have only bought copies and excellent value ..I built a GT3 RS Lego for a friend who lost interest in the first stage so I offered to complete ,when built could have switched model could see no difference except the price he paid £229 mine was £82 As I'm a throw the box away type builder, being able to buy 3 creator style cars for the price of one seems like a good idea to me.

Interested to see what you think of the Volvo and Leihberr, I'm in a quandary between those two and the rough terrain crane at the moment 
I've built all 3. The rough terrain crane is the best build, and the most impressive as a display model. No motorised functions.
The Liebherr isn't much of a looker, not helped by the colour scheme. It works well though.
The Volvo sits in the middle - better looking and a nicer build than the Liebherr. The functions are not that good though.

Decided on the Sian in the end which arrived today. Not opened it yet but the packaging is very nicely done and thankfully no damage in transit. Really looking forward to building this one. I also took a punt on a clone GT3 RS from Yourwobb for £70 delivered. I will probably wait and build that first when it arrives in a couple of weeks.

Was that with Yourwobb? My PayPal payment went through okay on a GT3 RS and my account is showing order is placed awaiting shipment.'This transaction cannot be completed because it violates the PayPal User Agreement.' - I'm assuming it's something to do with being Chinese 'replicas' (though what I was trying to purchase weren't Lego copies).
