I’m assuming they’re more pieces and higher cost now?
That's a given!

RRP on the Audi is EUR 19.99. I'm guessing that will translate to probably £17.99? it may even be a straight £19.99.

I like the Audi, am meh about the Ferrari F8 and the Jags and Lambos can go do one given the price point for the new two-car sets. As much as I like the Audi though, I'm not sure I want one bigger 8 stud wide car that will stand out like a sore thumb amid the collection of 6 stud wide ones......

Love that Audi, but no way i'm paying £20 for it... will wait for the inevitable supermarket half price deals.

It was mentioned in Saturday's email to UK VIPs but not in the Sunday one. No sign of it on the shop website either (not being added to baskets). Just the Christmas Tree with purchases over £120.

My guess is it was announced prematurely and will be a future offer.

That, or it sold out really quickly and they have run out of stock.

Space 1999 Eagle ? I really fancied having a crack at this until I discovered it was nearly 120cm long and would probably cost close to 2k in bits ! :

Great idea selling digital plans for kits.

I saw some designs (not the one you were pointing out) though where the sellers were saying you might not be able to get all the pieces in the colours needed which seems a bit pointless.

Just had something crop up on my FB feed, lego have purchased Bricklink apparently, not sure what impact it will have on users or the AFOL community yet.

Never underestimate how fast freebies can sell out online.

You may get lucky and find a store with one left though.

Indeed. Good job i stayed up last night to order the 89 batmobile with the mini free one.
Looks like the freebie has already sold out.
