<Neil>

Just been browsing this and thought I would leave this here, was a great build

Minirotty

Not a very good pic Neil, what is it?

<Neil>

The helicopter from Avatar.

Minirotty

Looks pretty big, is it?

<Neil>

About 1200 pieces iirc.

Size wise foot long and about the same wide. It's been awhile since I made it

I do remember that I didn't quite have enough parts in the right shade of grey hence the black and white photo

<Neil>

Well it's still listed on this site 1800 pieces!!

Better pictures too

well i've spent the last few days looking and there is a few i'm interested in just not pulled the trigger on getting one yet. I do like those trucks you have. Whats the going rate for the big rc one that carries the smaller red truck?

I'd definitely recommend the Mercedes truck, I really enjoyed that one.

I've just got the Porsche but not started on it yet.

been reading the lepin facebook page and there are some cool stuff on the page. Only thing that gets me is one guy charging lego prices for the chinese stuff. every time someone posts up they are after stuff he's posting the link to his page. why pay someone a substantial markup for something you can do yourself for free and save loads

Minirotty

Hi yeah its gone mental I've got 4800+ members already! I'm adding more admins too as its to busy for me.

I dont know who you refer to but can you report his posts next time you see them please?



I've made another technic model this one a bull doser with grab hand.

Bargain off of Shpock £25 haha they go for over £100 on ebay but defo not worth that much at all! Its quite simple compared to others I've made.

One of the best threads ive read on here for ages! Really cool and very interesting. I always remember for Christmas when i was about 12 i got the big Lego Technic JCB with the front and back hoe, was a great model and i spent my whole birthday building it and didnt stop until it was done. Im not sure of the model number but do you know the one i mean. It was around 1992 roughly.

jaiscossie

Just searched on Google and found it, would be a great one to add to your collection if you dont already have it, was quite an early piece i think.

Sadly i dont have it anymore, my parents took it to the charity shop as didnt think i wanted it anymore !!

Minirotty

Itnis something I also searched for at the start of my collecting as I remembered it fondly but when I found it, it wasn't as I remembered so I wndes up getting the new Volvo frontmloader, modern version of JCB model and absolutely loved it.

Guys name on the fb group is craig baker (has a picture of some animal upside down in its basket with the word weekend below)

he's the one who started the ilovelepin group selling the stuff on there for a big markup. Quite a few people have complained about him and his prices in his posts.

I want the falcon but i'm damn certain i'm not paying his huge markup just because it has a box.

have you found any of the sellers that take paypal yet, I saw aliexpress is taking it now?

Minirotty

Yeh hes contacted me asking if he can sell on my page, I've not decided what to do about trader adds yet tbh

This is my group

Ive used Aliexpress many times so far, excellent service.
They only pay the seller when you confirm items delivered.
Started collecting after reading this thread.
So far I have got to build, 3 Porsches (white, green & orange) and 2 Ferraris.

Minirotty

jason_nike

It was your fault I bought them.
Starting this thread got me looking lol
They are great models and well worth the money.
Got 2 Ferraris to build too

Minirotty

All finished, will take bettrr pics tomorrow

Minirotty

Haha I've had lots of people blame me.

They are fantastic value for money

Minirotty

I already changed mirrors on white one from red to white but also wasnt happy spoiler wasn't colour coded so did that too



















Also all on display now

jason_nike

Yep agree, great value for money.
When I ordered the white and green, they took 5 working days to arrive, fantastic service and no missing parts

Hope you well on road to recovery too mate

Love this thread here's something my eldest built bout year ago loves his Lego not yet into the technic

Marcyg

The gt3's look great. Keep eyeing them up myself but will have to wait till our house move. My wife collects regular Lego, the big creator sets, she's got all of them including a few Chinese specials! She got a whole room for it in our new house so I think we may end up with our own legoland!

I have for sale a brand new boxed claas xerion tractor set.
Never been opened and bought brand new by me.
£85 delivered.
Bought a lot of car parts this month and this set is going to sit about for a good while before I get around to building it so I fancy selling it.

Apart from that I have finished the merc truck which is a brilliant model and quite complicated but easy to build.
I'll upload pics later!
