Stoffel76 Posted August 8, 2018 Share And in case anyone is curious... Price on the Bugatti? R6500.... I thought the idea of toys is that they're cheaper than the real thing?? As awesome as it is, I could never justify that kind of money for a Lego set... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amberdrake Posted August 8, 2018 Share The new release Technic sets are super cool.IMHO better than last year.The Bugatti and Porsche are both cool but super costly altho the Porsche was only 3.6k odd if I recall correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a Lego set that we think our little one will enjoy when she's a bit older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amberdrake Posted October 9, 2018 Share Lego is stupid expensive tbh, But it is by far the leader regarding block types.Lego casting's are always perfect, I have alot of lego dating back to 1990's and not one came mis-casted.Lego also has set sizes to a very high tolerance. You can see them on X-Ray. Other building blocks feel cheap fit less than perfect and often contain mis-casts. I have started collecting the classic boxes for my Daughter as they don't contain any specific plans are intended to allow creativity. The Friends lego is a favorite with my friends kids (boy and girl) WeekendWarrior80 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Friends lego is a favorite with my friends kids (boy and girl)That's for sure... The Lego quality is something else! So last night I couldn't anymore... Years ago (and I'm talking still the days of Kalahari.com!), they had a crazy special and I got the following set at about 50% off... https://www.lego.com/en-us/videos/themes/technic/42008-service-truck-137acbc2d1df4a35bec8221ddb57d08e##sp=1 At the time, I managed to stash it away unopened in the cupboard... My self restraint finally ran out last night... But the look on my 4 year old boy's face made the wait worthwhile! Got about halfway last night... Quite a complicated built but with some lekker components - pneumatics and electric motor etc Amberdrake and Swany05 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite one is the unimog. But sadly having kids now means that the technic sets for daddy are no longer going to happen as frequently.

Or… Buy them on special now... You know, like an investment... Amberdrake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
