    I only really wanted that set for the little one. Unfortunately you can’t buy it on it’s own.

     

    Could build through Bricklink as an option.

  2. I think, although can't be sure, that they are to adjust the suspension arms and stop them hitting the hinge pins??

     

    When my lad bust his suspension arm and noticed them too and just adjusted them so the pin hits the chassis and therefore doesn't put undue stress on the suspension arm.

     

    I could of course be totally wrong!

    Has anyone tried the 3rd party light kits you can get? Been looking at the lights for the batmobile, mustang and even the speed champions sets.

     

    No, one's I've seen are very expensive - looking at £60+ i think.

     

     

  4. Yes Lego has very much changed. Like you I remember when the Lego sets you bought could build not only the Fire Station but also anything else your imagination could lead you to. (My Mum still has the Lego I played with as a kid) OK that is probably still the case today but the vast majority of sets now have very specific bricks making it slightly more difficult. But that has also meant the growth of MOCs, some of which are very impressive. 

     

    Like the newer Speed Champions sets, the complexity increases all the time and the amount and type of innovative building techniques always amazes me. There's some building steps and parts on my Creator Ferrari and more recently Technic Land Rover that are really interesting to get to the desired result, of perhaps just a brick in a certain direction. 

     

    Lego in our house has changed from toys and being played with to kits that are bought to build and display. Hope your collection grows as much as mine 👍🏼

  5. You've gone mad @ChrisT however like @oodboo I do like to keep the larger boxes, although the only one I have is the Porsche 911 GT3 RS one 🤪

     

    They are a pain when you put your finger in the tab to open and rip the entire box 😂 

     

    Really surprised you haven't got them done yet Chris?!
