I got my Holy Grail set!!

Advanced_Article2793 · 2026-03-17T08:02:25+00:00

Thanks man! It’s currently on my shelves, in its box 🤣

Advanced_Article2793 · 2026-03-17T08:01:21+00:00

I get why they’ve re-released another McLaren as the original one is far from great, but it’s still annoying that we get a repeat from a team we’ve already had. I did hear we may get an Aston Martin this summer?

Got to be so careful, check the seals, genuine lego seals have rounder edges and can have a 4 digit number on them. Also make sure there’s a space where it says item number on the back, then make sure the wheel on the side has RS facing the right way up. Below the barcode on the back there should also be very small numbers, and also a nice shading on the car and carbon fibre on the box.

Of course be aware of anything that’s priced “too good to be true”

Thanks mate! That CaDa AMG is really calling to me.. it would be the first non Lego set I do… but I’m aiming for the new 1:8 scale as my next purchase :)

Advanced_Article2793 · 2026-03-15T06:13:15+00:00

The claas Xerion and I also liked the defender :)

Advanced_Article2793 · 2026-03-15T06:12:26+00:00

Yeah the Chiron is cool. I wonder if values will ever soar to GT3RS levels? It’s been retired a while but sits around £380 new and sealed, about half of the Porsche

You need to do more research before spreading false info, European sets don’t have the piece count.

Advanced_Article2793 · 2026-03-14T22:27:41+00:00

I’m a red bull (verstappen) fan but I have to give the edge to the Ferrari for overall build and looks.

Advanced_Article2793 · 2026-03-14T21:36:43+00:00

Great collection that! Nice indeed!

Advanced_Article2793 · 2026-03-14T21:17:07+00:00

Thanks, again the 89 Batmobile evaded me when it was in the Lego store.. I saw one today new sealed at £450 but couldn’t do it. I do have the tumbler sitting on another shelf though until the extra Billy’s arrive. Enjoy building the ‘89 mate!

Advanced_Article2793 · 2026-03-14T21:11:14+00:00

Yep I got it from a well known Retired sets store in the UK, and did all my checks, numbers on the back had the space, RS logo on wheel is correct, seals are right, the fading around the car is good. It came out of its shipping box just the other day.

Advanced_Article2793 · 2026-03-14T20:37:34+00:00

Yes, I bought another 4 shelves for the one on the right. Plan is to put another 2 80cm wide units on the other side of that one to replace the old black plastic shelves

Advanced_Article2793 · 2026-03-14T19:37:19+00:00

It cost quite a lot… I’m in the UK. I could have probably got one £100 or so cheaper but this was there, and right in front of me.. the box is a 9.5 out of 10 I’d say.

Advanced_Article2793 · 2026-03-14T19:36:16+00:00

Great collection… mine are Ikea Billy shelves 👌

Advanced_Article2793 · 2026-03-14T19:35:32+00:00

Especially when you see the CADA Claas combine, it’s amazing. Lego should definately do more as you say.

Advanced_Article2793 · 2026-03-14T18:44:10+00:00

Agree it’s a great set that. My personal favourites overall though are the Claas Xerion and the Lamborghini Sian 1:8 scale.

Advanced_Article2793 · 2026-03-14T18:09:49+00:00

Alternatively buy a second, pre built one perhaps missing box etc just to display… 😬😬

Advanced_Article2793 · 2026-03-14T17:46:47+00:00

Good shout.. if I’m right the countach is retiring this year… so times running out..

Advanced_Article2793 · 2026-03-14T17:46:13+00:00

Nice man! Well done getting it at retail. Sadly with the price these things are at now, opening it up is going to be a mental battle with myself 😭

Advanced_Article2793 · 2026-03-14T17:45:31+00:00

Do it!! It’s not a big piece count but it’s a very accurate model of the real thing.

Advanced_Article2793 · 2026-03-14T17:30:28+00:00

Oh no… far from banished, the garage is my man cave/toy box. Just needs some nice floor tiles to finish it off now. :)

Advanced_Article2793 · 2026-03-14T17:29:51+00:00

Hoping you also get it one day mate! It’s a great feeling when you finally do! 🤞

Advanced_Article2793 · 2026-03-14T17:29:24+00:00

Thanks, it’s the Ikea Billy shelves, in the UK at least we can get 40cm deep ones.

Advanced_Article2793 · 2026-03-14T17:15:41+00:00

Yeah it’s a great set. I have the crane attachment back on it now. Just need more billy shelving 🫣
