The Saturn 5 rocket looks great displayed next to the lunar lander.

Just finished building three of the 2020 Speed Champions sets:

audi quattro
ferrari
nissan gtr

Each build is interesting, with a few nice touches in how the pieces are used. Good to see fewer stickers than before and more bricks pre-printed. Though I do wish they'd stop the stickers entirely.

I'm not sure if the wheel size suit these larger sets.

The biggest problem is waiting until 2021 for some new sets!

I would love the Apollo model but I cannot be forking out £100+ on a Lego kit...

It’s well worth picking it up before the second-hand prices, er, rocket

Nice little build today, only took a couple of hours or so, Mrs Bobbers chose the modified look for the black R/T as it looks so different to the yellow SRT.

That's the Audi built - Nice model, but I don't like how the driver isn't straight on with the steering wheel though.

It's bigger than I thought it'd be too...

Where did you get the Quattro from?

I can’t find anywhere close to me. Argos, Sainsbury’s, Smyths etc all don’t have any stock.

And because I am currently ‘not allowed’ to buy Lego, I can’t buy anything direct from the Lego store!!!

I know they have. However I need to avoid having anything delivered to home - as in I need to physically get it.

Stops me getting s***e & verbal from SWMBO.

Got my Audi in Argos, but on news years day

Get it delivered to an Amazon locker, they are perfect for secret Lego
