Trouble is that Smyths have the Sian on offer at £239.99 & the Space Shuttle at £139.99 so which one do I get?
We getting this question when the answer is obviously to get both. If there is any further debate get the Sian and post the same question in the non-technic thread and then follow the advice and get the shuttle.

Obviously the correct answer is 'both' but if only getting one I would say the Shuttle - it's one of the best Lego builds I've done so far.
^ this.The Shuttle is incredible.
Just recently built the shuttle, and not only is it a hugely fun build, but it's a fabulous display piece as well. And it sits really nicely alongside my Saturn V!

Worth knowing; any Argos stickers can be easily removed with a heat gun but like you, I keep all the boxes in as pristine condition as I can so I won't accept a box that looks like it's been chucked down a flight of stairs..!
The box I got this morning looked like Gareth Bale had been hitting it with a golf club for an hour!!!mcdjl said:
It'll upset/please you lot to know that I've binned all boxes that my Lego/technic came in.
I decided it's no harm to keep them stored flat in case I ever decide to sell them on in future as boxed ones are a lot more valuable/appealing when used. If you're never going to sell, it's never going to be a problem for you!The Brummie said:

Just ordered the BMW from Amazon at £118 which is supposed to come in protective packaging. We will see!!

Oops.
Just bought the Volvo 6x6 (42114).
£160.09 thanks too a Very 20% discount code!!!
Space Shuttle (10283) & Sian also inbound on Monday all being well.
Had a good look at the Ferrari SP3. Its a big no from me.

That's an arse - was it dumped somewhere by the courier? Presumably you didn't sign for it in that condition..!
It was click & collect so assuming damage done by currier.Never had an issue before - so it has been returned.
The other issue is that the 20% discount code has expired & I have been told that the replacement will not be subject too the 20% discount!!!
Not impressed.

It’s just a box, they just go in the bin surely?
You can see the bags inside - who knows what's fallen out? Better to return now than risk not being able to return later and have an incomplete model.Also some of us retain the boxes for if/when we come to sell them on - boxed ones are worth more down the line than unboxed ones.
