For a different view, I use Gelida and haven't had any problems (I've ordered 3 items from them).

Another vote for H&H and/ or Gelida.
Used both numerous times (probably about 20 sets) without any issues at all.
Fast delivery to UK, no customs charges, take your pick!

Got both Simpsons sets, well worth getting.

Yep I've used both H&H stores with no problems. I've bought seven Technic sets from them now with another two on the way. Longest delivery time was 9 days which was just after the Chinese New Year.

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll get a set ordered and hope it arrives in time for his birthday in a couple of weeks time.

If it arrives okay we'll be buying more Lepin as he saves his pocket money up and buys the Star Wars Lego stuff.

Did you order the Simpson's House yet?

I've got a real set, assembled once. Yours if you pay shipping?

TFA Falcon slowly coming together. Little frustrating in parts due to floor placement pieces that aren't too clear on the images.

Still fun and an interesting way of how it all fits together. Not sure if this will put me off, or make me desperate to get the big boy UCS!!

If I'm honest I found the UCS so big and eternally grey, and fragile once built, that it significantly waned my enthusiasm for a few months.

Is anyone having trouble ordering from H&H toy store or the block store?

Both are now telling me that they don't ship to the UK?

I still have the original Lepin Millenium Falcon sitting unbuilt in the box as it came from H&H early last year.
Thinking of selling it actually as I simply have no time to build it.

If anyone is interested PM me.
Open to offers.

FYI, it's the 05033 version (identical to 10179).

The Bugatti is already on AliExpress!

Anyone feeling brave? Not sure if £97 for a knockoff is mad (although it’s not as mad as £330 for the real thing)

Gonna do my Lepin f40 and wait for some reviews first I think

Just go for the real thing if You can afford to.
I'll be getting both once the financial situation of mine lets me to. Lego to store and Lepin to build and display.

I was VERY temped in getting the real thing last week, the marketing material was just so convincing at Lego House...

Regarding that picture...wow!

But it will be cheaper in the long run to buy the car and more enjoyable
