Same; no issues for me buying from them.

I was in a rush and at work so didn't translate the page .... I guess that was partly my own fault but I inadvertently signed up for Prime ... It literally took me a year to sort out between Amazon and my card company.

Amazon UK said nothing they could do and no one in Amazon DE would talk to me in English.

Ah ok

If you avoid that it's fine;) and if you use the app it's in English

I recently got the trench run diorama and dagobah for pretty much the same price as just dagobah they seem to get decent discounts straight away on new sets

Some of the Lego con stuff is pretty good, the castle though... How much!

This though. This I'm definitely buying...

Im trying to cut down on my Lego addiction, but that might just be a must buy

I was going to restrict myself to the upcoming speed champions stuff as I've been a bit mad with it of late but this is a must for me ...

Why have they changed it from the original? It’s nether a ‘proper’ Galaxy Explorer, nor a significantly new model.

They don't make some of the elements any more, they would have to remake the tooling for many parts such as the screens and the cones for the boosters and that would be expensive just for this set.

Exactly - I think it's a nice homage, that doesn't harm the value of the original sets, but tweaks gently at the nostalgia strings.

Interesting pivot from the Speed Champions range, I wonder if we will see more movie/TV tie-ins with minifigures, Lotus Esprit (Spy Who Loved Me), Jeep Wrangler Sahara (Jurassic Park) and Ford Country Squire (National Lampoon) please!

I doubt Lego would need to remake tools. The cones are in loads of current sets. They might have safety holes in some of them these days, but fundamentally exactly the same parts.

That would be nice. I’ve gone off of a lot of the speed champions models they do at the moment, I don’t have interest in concept cars and low production models, I want things I recognise and that other people will recognise.

My speed champions addiction will require me to get these whether or not they're decent or nice, but some other tie ins would be nice. I had exercised restraint on the few sets I don't have (the 3x ferrari set, the Mercedes and Ferrari full F1 sets) but I did get the F1 truck for not too much and managed to get the FXX on ebay for a not ridiculous amount (took a lot of hunting)

I genuinely don't want to know what they have all cost me, considering I've got almost all of them...

Not sure i'll have room for this, but i'm sure I can find space on the shelf opposite barracuda bay

I think I'd like that more if it was made with the specific wall pieces and BURPs, but cost nearer to £100. There looks like an awful lot of 2x1 grey bricks with brick texture to put together.

It's too good for early 80's castle
