Ordered one from ywobb, it’s a bit more expensive at £35 but still significantly cheaper than Lego

Is that an official one?

Nope, fan made.

That’s a shame, it’s unlikely to become an official kit

This. I assume nobody has? It’ll be the obvious and inevitable Christmas present for me.

At 350 quid, I'd rather have the Chiron. The Sian just doesn't look that great. I'd wait for big discounts if I'd wanted one. Going to order the Defender.

I got the Chiron for Christmas 18 months ago and haven’t built it

You’ll Love the Defender. There’s no ‘new’ parts but there’s just something about it. I am tempted to buy two more and try and cobble together a 110 with a trailer or something.

The Defender seems excellent value compared to the supercars. It’s half the price at RRP. It also looks better because the Technic panels suit the flat bodywork of the real thing.

You’re right there, the design lends itself to Lego and that feels like they’ve had more time to polish the execution.

LEGO Nintendo set due 1st August. Around 200 quid!

I’m still building the red crane, it’s a bloody big kit with 13 stages.

Should finish it this evening.

Dave!

It’s epic when it’s done though

For £200 I think I’d rather have a real nes, selection of games and a crt tv to play it on

That NES thing is pretty amazing, but seems more like a concept build rather than something people will buy at that price? Or am I just getting old?

I still want a Defender though, really need to keep an eye on the prices.

Really enjoyed building this, fantastic build

I'd love to see the flappy paddle gearbox in action, all I can think of is to get it on a treadmill

Forget the Bug, where's the French Calvin and Hobbes poster from?

Agreed, it’s the best technic kit I’ve used yet.

Also it appears to be a bit more logical as the kids picked up the controls far quicker than other sets.
