Whoohoo one very big bag 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.

External tank and boosters anyone?
its 750mm long

I might!

Made the space telescope so far

Just finished this... some of the engineering was a little tenuous , the engines seem to hold together based on a single stud!, But it was only C$44 delivered.





it had 2 skids at the front, but nothing at the rear, so seemed to sit nose up until I added a third 'foot'

This arrived from www.joooooy.com today for approx. £155 delivered. Its the first non-lego kit I've purchased so hoping I won't be disappointed.

I don't think you will be. I've found them excellent. Only real difference I've noticed, is that sometimes the colours aren't quite as rich/vibrant. Otherwise, not bad at all,

Has anyone tried the Ecto 1 from jooooooooooy?

I have some Star Wars bits (destroyer, Death Star) that I am looking to move on, where would you guys advertise them?

I fancy that but the finished size stopped me buying it! Don’t know where it would go

Neither do I yet.....

[Drumster]

So far so good, honestly can’t tell it’s not Lego. Instructions and build quality is excellent. 2 bags in (another 22 to go) and 923 pieces gets you this far….

Anyone know where the big tomcat came from? Can only see mini one on joooooy.

I got mine from Aliexpress for about £85

My latest build, went together ok, though the friction pullback motor doesn’t seem to work( wow, was looking forward to that…), but for 45c$ it’s not bad, the frogeye is 1:18, just to give you a sense of the scale





I think the wheel arches don’t look accurate, as the series 1 &.2 had a more slab sided look, but I guess there are limitations to what can done.




Faux UCS Slave1 and a UCS snowspeeder to do next…

started this one at 8pm last night, and just finished, its a monster


45 bags that were numbered, but not in any meaningful way, as the parts were required from bags randomly, rather than sequentially, so a lot of hunting around was needed

As it arrived


once released....its amazing how they get it in there - 45 bags!





this thing is 18 inches from top to bottom!




My fingers hurt now!






this was 110 c$ delivered, its pretty amazing for the cash.

Oh dear I've discovered the super-MOC sets on jooooy and by proxy the other super-size ones - the absolute daddy sounds like the 60k piece Notre Dame.

Lots of very cool ones though, my wallet won't thank me

[JerseyS2000]

Huh - probably shouldn't have posted this in the non-Technic Lego forum first... didn't want to upset people. Anyhoo...

My birthday present has arrived from Aliexpress.



Same scale and creator as my Lepin F-14. Thinking of making a Top Gun Maverick display with these bad boys...

Like the Tomcat, it has lots of functionality. Retractable undercarriage, moving flaps/tails, vectoring exhaust nozzles, weapons bay doors. Very cool.

Hi Stussy, I am interested, what payment method do you accept? Ian

[Stussy]

PayPal would be fine, drop me an email and we can sort it from there, your settings won’t let me send one to you
