I've used the site linked many times with no issues but haven't bought this item, just wanted to share as it's potentially the GT3 for £37 inc postage.

With a new account, you can get a $5 discount when using PayPal, and for an extra $0.99 you can get a set of Paw Patrol characters.

I'll be telling the missus I bought the Paw Patrol characters and got a free orange GT3...

Millennium falcon shipped, the real question is whether I can resist the temptation to build straight away...

Well, if you want to have it complete for Christmas you may want to start it asap!

All i have to do now is somehow sneak yet another 'lego set into the house!

I have resisted till now.....and now I have a War Series Compatibility Millennium (falcon) and an Classic Film Television Building Blocks Puzzle Educational Toy (X wing) on the way, I am going on the basis its better to seek forgiveness than ask permission!!

A question of the link to this GT3 ,I was under the impression that this was a copy of the Lego/Lepin /Decool model .I raised a question and was told no instructions ? so how do you make it up ? Do others think like I do this is a copy and will come in bags and a set off instructions like my Lepin kit came in as the base price of $95 is what the other copy kits a priced at and they are clearing stock on a Black Friday sale or have I got it wrong ?

You can download instructions from the Lego website as pdf's

GT3 is back up to £72 on that link.

Which is probably for the best as I still haven't built my Super Star Destroyer which has sat in its box since 2016!

Thanks for reply ...I have instructions I got with my Orange GT3 from Lepin so have some reference point and as you say can use the Lego PDF .I just found it strange that the reply said no instructions and another reply to some one else's question said it had 800 parts got me thinking what have I bought as clearly it has 2200 parts or there about .Will wait to see what comes do not really need another ,but found the build very therapeutic in my spare time

Falcon has been released from customs so should be arriving any day now. Not bad given it was ordered 8 days ago.

[woodysnr]

Just had confirmation back from PP and Gearbest that they are refunding my monies ,I find this sharp practise as they are still advertising the goods for $79.99 .I purchased it the day it went on order for $45.99 and they had loads of stock.I certainty will not buy any goods from this place again ,obviously they where selling it to cheap hence the reason for buying it ...the old adage is correct ...if it sounds to be to good to be true .
Anyone else had the same response

Yes me too - just got a mail to say refunding my paypal payment, but no other explanation.

Piss poor if you ask me.

[woodysnr]

Obviously sold it too cheap ...as said sharp practice .I sent off a email to PP and Gearbest voicing my dissatisfaction about there trading standards .Certainty will not deal with them ever again ,

And me too. They've not done themselves any favours on this.

Now showing it at $38 shipping to uk that is new ...as said not good business practice .Might just bite the bullet and buy the Chiron from H&H on a deal this Friday

[Shappers24]

After clearing customs my order went north to Manchester (I’m in South Wales...) and last night it was apparently delivered.

So... may be a case of being given the wrong tracking info, but will leave it a few days and see what turns up.

[Shappers24]

Wrong tracking number indeed given by the seller. Have now got a new one, this time for dpd... unfortunately the new tracking info says it was due for delivery on the 19th, but they’ve yet to receive the order from the seller.

Seller is being less then helpful, but have to wait until 24th December before opening a dispute.

Used a different seller this time (lepinbrickstore) should have kept with my usual one - h&h....

Ha anyone built the Lepin caterham?

Is it any good?

It is available on Aliexpress for <£20 so I am tempted

I have. It's excellent.

I may have just accidentally bought myself this as a little christmas present

And it has arrived today.
Quite pleased with that, 2 weeks from order to it landing. I'm not going to start building it yet I am keeping it as something to do between christmas and new year

[jumare]

I know I'm being lazy but can somebody recommend a source for the Roscoe F1 cars (I want to buy the Eagle F1).

In the past I bought the instructions (online access) for the Lotus 49B but didn't get that far as I couldn't reasonably source some of the parts. I think I've probably lost my login details even if it's still available but I'm hoping that some of the parts from the Eagle kit (e.g. wheels) could be used for the Lotus model.

Quite tempted by some of the Lepin Titanic models as well, anybody else gone down that route or is everybody just buying Star Wars and Porsche GT3s.
