Top Gear 42109 lego is £61 on Amazon. That seems quite cheap - wasn't it over £100?
Tempted at that price even though it seems a bit meh compared to other sets.. Thoughts?
The Senna is only £44 but looks a bit naff.
I looked at the Top Gear car at that price (half price) and went to buy it but changed my mind as thought it looked a bit pants. Think the Senna is £45 normal price. I quite like the Monster trucks and they come down to £14 on occasion on Amazon. Also fancy the Jeep Wrangler too.Tempted at that price even though it seems a bit meh compared to other sets..

The Senna does look rubbish, then again so does the real one.The Top Gear one even at that price still looks expensive.
The Jeep was a nice one to build
I think that if you're looking for a powered model, the Volvo hauler at £165 is much better value than the Top Gear car, even at £60
2,200 pieces vs 460 ish, plus the resale will be much higher on the Volvo if that's a factor. The used eBay prices on the Volvo are not far off the Amazon new price, so if you buy it now, build it and wait for it to be discontinued, I think you'd easily get the money back.

And the Volvo is great for scaring the cats or getting your other half to pop a cold one from the fridge in the load bay and drive it back to yourself2,200 pieces vs 460 ish, plus the resale will be much higher on the Volvo if that's a factor.

This arrived earlier.
Genuinely had no recollection of ordering it but having it here on my dining table and looking at my bank statement it would appear that I did indeed order it, at a great price on Amazon, the other evening. After having consumed rather a lot of beer. Oh well.

I was very pleased to see how thick the instructions were!
I seem to remember some posts about alignment when building the engine?

Really really enjoyed that (WELL worth the £109 paid, thank you Amazon). Being a Land Rover, how soon before it breaks?
Next up. A non Technic one
You don't hang about with these do you? I tend to spread the build over a week. I'm tempted to strip mine down at some point and rebuild it into the stadium truck.Next up. A non Technic one
Looks like they've finished building the lego Discovery Centre and shop near me, and now it's just a case of waiting until they're allowed to open. Anyone know if they tend to go for big launch events with lots of discounts?
Shop looks pretty well stocked from a peer through the window.
