The 919 is Cada brand bought from Yourwobb, absolutely recommended.

£47 delivered.

This one https://www.yourwobb.com/collections/cada/products...
It's gone up 20% since I bought it last June, probably most of that in shipping.

Seeing as this appears to be a page of experts, can anyone please suggest where to find the above model at the best delivered price from a reliable seller...

I've used them several times now and always found them excellent.

I really really like both of them but haven't been able to justify the cost to myself yet. Regretting not having a punt when that red 917 was listed at £90 last year.

I'd always wanted the Wall-E model I bought for my brother a few years ago for Christmas but prices are silly, even for a used set. I took a $27 punt on this one from Joooooy:

https://joooooy.com/products/in-stock-star-series-...

I've not bought any non-LEGO kits before (after rediscovering a real enjoyment of it as we went into lockdown) and have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the Joooooy version.

Two small issues with it: first is a droopy head (which was a LEGO issue too originally) but I've taken a punt that the build's the same as the genuine LEGO one and ordered the parts for Chris McVeigh's modification. If it's not quite the same I'll work it out somehow.

The second is that the tracks don't run all that smoothly but as I'm not going to be actually playing with it it's not too much of an issue. Overall the Joooooy kit went together well, no missing pieces just a lengthy trip to get here really. The colour-matching of all the parts was spot on (even LEGO seem to get that wrong on some kits!).

Thumbs-up from me for just £22 delivered.

I don't normally get non Lego items unless they are unobtainable like the MOC stuff,

Recent one is this 'Optimus something or other' from Ywobb

Very solid, fun build if a little basic. Clear instructions and separate bags for each section. Lots of extra parts left over as well. Stands at around 40cm high and looks a lot better than this picture.

Joooooy are arriving via air mail at the moment hence times under two weeks. Wish/Ali etc could realistically be 4 weeks plus.
