Could you hang it eg from some threads of some kind. (Never done it but would be good if could be reliably and neatly attached to the ceiling somehow without looking Heath-Robinson)
Another good idea but not practical in my little room it also weighs a tonne !I’ll do a pic later on that top shelf think it might be ok there.
I need to reclaim the loft !

Much better
Cheers amazing value and it looks great. I really fancy the Atari 2600 but just no place to put it :-( I also have all the Nasa sets and a proper UCS Snow Speeder in the build pipeline.My problem is I really enjoy leaving the sets on display I'm not one to build and dismantle apart from the A-Wing which I didn't really enjoy.
Space !! GRR !

Bloody close that, it's got me thinking about jipo Lego. Has anyone built the Ghostbusters firehouse? Your about £600 for one now, don't fancy paying that.
Just finished by first non Lego set, I was dubious how the quality would be, but I’m very impressed. I had the original GT3 when it was released, but later sold it. So thought I’d try that one to see how different it was.
I built it using MOC instructions Pimp My Porsche 1.4 which had loads of improvements and modifications. You have to buy around 200 extra parts for the mods. I’ve also added some body mods of my own t fill in some gaps.
I was that impressed I had to order the RS6, which I’ll be starting now.

After years of watching this thread, I finally committed to buying a Pangu Osprey from YWOBB. Advice I learned only after I bought is to not let Paypal to the currency conversion. The osprey was a set both me and mini-me had our eyes on when first revealed and were both very disappointed when it was cancelled. I had contemplated forking out to scalpers on FB marketplace or Ebay, but I decided to give this alternative a go even though its not 100% accurate to the original.
The pieces are 95% as good, you can tell its not legit most obviously with the friction of pins but overall no issues. No missing parts, lots of spare blue and black pins. I wasn't sure whether I would get a instruction book or a link to PDF, but yes a book and sticker sheet was included in the extremely tightly packed box. The instructions are condensed to 4 steps on each page so its hard to see, many mistakes were made but oddly I quite enjoyed spotting and rectifying.
The set didn't come with motor & battery pack even though all the website & instruction manual pictures show it. I was expecting to most likely arrive without but I didn't notice anywhere in the product description that it wasn't included. Unfortunately I don't have the Lego equivalent of the battery pack in the Pangu build but I managed to bodge something together from 42095 so that the functions work. I recall there was some fuss about gear teeth shredding on the official model, I haven't checked to see if this issue was resolved in the Pangu build but we've not had any functional issues since build not that it gets 'played' with anyway to be fair.
Overall very happy, and will probably buy again. Mini-me really wants the UCS AT-AT which may well end up coming from China too....
Edit to add, i randomly found a package outside today, no idea how long its been there but it contained battery pack, L motor and an old school RC pad so now i'm very impressed (assuming they've survived the freezing temps)!

Space Shuttle Discovery. Not sure how they get them into the country customs free (although I did have to pay aliexpress vat) but anyway. 9 days to delivery. £61.
