Lego WANT of the Day

Ahh that stall holder has so many Books are my passion, I’ve been trying to find that for weeks now.  Ebay prices are getting mental for it 🙁

There were a couple on BrickLink in the UK for £50 yesterday but they’ve sold now. Of all the GWPs this year that’s definitely the one I’d have just bought as a regular set. Hoping some more turn up on the secondary market for something approaching reasonable prices in due course.

Marmite?

Any recommendations for a biggish set for a (competent) 9yo? I’ve scanned back a few pages, the Concorde came close but probably not interesting enough as a build (and back to £170). She had a dreams space craft last year, good couple of days involved building. Budget ~£100.

The moon lander? Not sure if the price is right though

@jimmy

You should be able to get the FORD car for under a hundred.

I am in continental europe though recently we could get the le mans Peugeot and Mclaren F1 for around a hundred to in the pre christmas sales

Thanks. The ford is perhaps a bit motor-some for her. Doesn’t look like you get much for the money under £100 these days, crikey. This might fit the bill (she said no technics but I think she’d like it)

2nd hand Apollo. My 9 year old loved it. Ended up taking it into school and doing a little talk about it.

Construction crane?

Crikey, there is some big money in Lego now.

I’ve still got the technic Bugatti veyron, unopened and in the shipping case from a punt about four years ago when it was £95 at Argos.   No intention of ever building it as I’d have nowhere to display it. My son, now at Uni, has the Porsche GT3 R/S built, which seems to now go for daft money even second hand.  We’ve also got the huge Mercedes Aroc tipper grab wagon which was a really great build with all the pneumatics.

Scrolling through eBay, there seems to be a theme of high value collectors, with unusual models, such as the carousel, and popular themes, Ghostbusters and Star Wars, looking to hold their value. I suppose these appeal to both Lego and the genre fans so a double bubble market.

I have the GT3 brand new unopened in box in carton after an Argos deal (£130 in 2018). Looks like it might be worth upwards of £600 now.

I know it’s naughty lego, but we bought a Building Blocks Porsche RSR from Ebay for £28. I bought it to show my son it was a pile of shit and will not be like his The Batman and Back to the Future car kits. It came in a bag of bags and no box. The Ali express ones come with a box I have been told.

The instructions were poor, but we always use the iPad app; the process is the same as it would be for the real deal kit so it is fine to use the app to build.

Not a single missing piece although the plastic may not be as hard it all clicked into place as expected. Felt bad for Lego when building it as it was such a theft of their product. Didn’t last for long, I remembered how many kits we have bought in the last 14 years – smiley face.
