It's 2 proper plasterboard fixings set with the right tool, with 4 fishing line loops, secured with metal crimps nerd

I am currently ‘not allowed’ to buy trainers or Lego.

So I have a conundrum. Do I buy the Lunar Lander, the Harley Fatboy or the car transporter?

Tempted by the Lander & the transporter. Not sure whether the Fatboy looks a little chunky having seen one built.

Anyone built all three & if so which is the better model?

Can’t comment on the fat boy as don’t have that one but own and have built the other two. The transporter is probably more involving as it’s a technic set so is more ‘interactive’ but I’m a bit of a space geek so prefer the Lander which is a keeper, the transporter will get sold on at some point.

I went to Leicester Square and saw the fat boy, I didn't buy it because the forks and other silver parts look a bit too grey and it made it look a little plain if I'm honest.

Couldn’t decide between the Lander or the transporter. So just bought both.....

I can hide the Speed Champions stuff I bought last week but not sure how I can hide two fairly large boxes.

Really liked building both the car transporter and fatboy, don't have the lunar lander though!!

Picked up the Speed Champions F40 and two Sennas today.

Why two Sennas? Well, Sainsbury's had both cars in stock, £13 each. Little label by the Senna - '2 For £15'.... Asked an employee to clairfy and the offer was only for the Senna silly

No idea why they didn't make the offer for both cars, but hey ho. Still got two though, £15 for a pair of them isn't bad I guess, I'll keep one box sealed and hopefully swap it with someone.. Any interest??

I was about to say the same as the Argos offer so matching but both are the same company now.

I did the same with the Senna last week.

I had picked up 2 F40s before Christmas on the same 2 for £15 promotion, but it wasn't included in it when the Senna was (and the Senna wasn't in the offer when the F40 was.) Go figure.

I like the new Quattro, even though it pains me that it looks out of place next to all the smaller scale SC sets. The new Ferrari just looks like another generic red Ferrari set, and the GTR doesn't do much for me. Which is perhaps just as well, as they're a harder impulse buy at £18 and I have no room for any more anyway!

Thanks for the Argos / Sainsbury's tips chaps, had an £130 gift card lying around so ordered 4 Senna's (1 for son's birthday, 3 for his friends birthday's throughout the year!), more such tips would be appreciated and then I can crack on with the rest of the SC sets (or other good ones on offer!).

Gutted I missed the F40 offer.
