Where from? German Amazon?
It was from eBay, the seller is called dave.gikd - I think he has a few more although the price fluctuates a bit due to the exchange rate. I think I paid €179 including delivery

Ordered the speed champions Audi Quattro yesterday. £18 seems reasonable for a 250 piece lego set. Also have a couple of cobi tanks and red baron to build.

I’d be interested to know how the cobi tanks compare to Lego (cobi keeps auto correcting to covid).

I'll post photos when done. I got the Bovington Tiger 131 and a soviet T34. From what I've read quality is supposed to be pretty good.

First of the cobi sets, Fokker Tri plane. Overall a decent product although the tolerances aren't as precise as Lego and the finish is not as clean.

I’m not allowed to buy Lego at the moment - no job. On furlough. Etc etc etc.

Anyway. These just happened to have my name on them at Argos click & collect this morning.





It would have been rude to have left them there so.......

Let the fun begin when SWMBO finds these, the Defender & the crane!!!

I am resisting buying lego - I've bought some work from home / social distancing lego already, but it's my birthday on Monday and I live by myself.

My question is this - Do I buy lots or lots and lots? smile

Lots & lots & lots.

Keeps me sane.

Cobi T34 finished this morning. 505 piece set for under £30 is good value. Enjoyed building this but one small incorrect part supplied. It was easily hidden so no big deal.

Been looking for something different to cranes etc. I like this a lot.

You will not be disappointed. Probably my favourite ever Lego build. It is simply epic.

With a 5 month old baby around I've done sod all LEGO building for a good while but my partner loves any boat so we've finally found some time to work on the awesome Ninjago boat, Destiny's Bounty.

Love the detail in some of the bigger Ninjago sets and this ones no different. Lots of oriental touches, very few repetitive bits and I get to build whilst my girlfriend hunts for pieces. Works for me!
