Saw that in the lego shop last night, it's huge! The photos don't really get over just how big and impressive it is.

In the lego shop they have little bins containing the recommended motor and battery box for it (sold separately), don't know why they don't just include them in the box and charge a bit more, annoying that you have to buy them separately!

For a £300 odd set, if have expected the motor to have been included. Seems like a bit of a swizz....

[quote=SunsetZed]Thanks to Cliffe_Mafia for the excellent spot and for sharing the bargain he located.

I've spent the past 3 weeks downloading instructions, rebuilding and cleaning the models that were built (sometimes not correctly!). Based on the sets I've built (which is all that I could identify) there are 20-30 pieces missing that I may order from BrickLink.

In addition to the sets pictured I've got a large box of pieces (maybe 300-500 bricks, something like this plus approximately 50 minifig's that I need to re-assemble.

I've taken a picture of the 3 most distinctive missing pieces, does anybody know which set these may have come from or is there a way to work it out based on the brick number or anything like this?

£20 very well spent in my eyes

Missing Pieces:


The recycling brick I think is from set 60000 (Fire motorcycle)- recycling bin on fire:

I am wondering if anyone here can help me find a brick I am looking for to complete a model destroyer I have almost finished.
I am trying to find 4 grey mini antenna 73587 with a grey base and antenna. It seems they are part of the millennium falcon kit so are in demand and Lego are out of stock.
It used to be possible to buy the grey antenna with other colour bases but I cannot find any of these either as this would allow me to swap around bases.
Anyone got 4 spare grey mini antenna or know where I can buy some at a reasonable price?

Here is a photo of a white and black one I have.



Alternatively any ideas of a different block to attach to a single vertical peg and give me a horizontal antenna or beam, it could be quite long. Picture below is the mast, I have the radar domes and supports, it is the four horizontal poles (looking like a ladder on its side in the photo) that I am trying to add into my model.

Edit:
I know I’ve got some you’d be welcome to have, but I’m pretty sure mine are white or black bases

Thanks for the offers. I can find grey bases, it is the grey antenna that are hard to find. I think it is possible to swap bases.
