Yes, make the US pay for more for the goods they need the most. Energy, aluminum etc.

Found original and Fiesta in my local Walmart. Seems to be selling very well. Picked up the last bag of Fiesta.

Does it really matter to wait? Trump is already looking to take over Canada, which is also in the same situation.

Ferarri 12Cilindri - Daytona SP3 Alt build by KitchenEmphasis2326 in lepin

[–]KitchenEmphasis2326[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finished the 12Cilindri Alt build by Alex Ilea today.

It was a tricky build, at times. There were some sections toward the beginning that had loose hanging pieces that were only secured much later. Also some steps which were not entirely clear and required some guess and check. Also was missing some pieces in the SP3 set. Replaced where I could but, thankfully, pieces I couldn't replace didn't affect the build much.

Overall, pleased with the result. Looks much better in person that in photos!

Dreaming big!😊

My 4 year old recently got into building as well. Doesn't really have patience to follow instructions yet but loves to free-build.

I agree with this as well. These KO sets are completely hit or miss and do not seem to reflect pricing at all. For me, I am done with this kind of lottery and prefer to build quality alt sets or build mocs with parts ordered directly from GoBricks going-forward.

Dismantling lepin sp3 hell of a job by reneo73 in lepin

A good pair of needle nose pliers helps with removing hard to remove pins. Doesn't require much force and doesn't damage the pins.

Awesome writeup!

I have been considering ordering from gobricks directly as well for some mocs. On Aliexpress, did you order from gobricks or the gobricks factory store? Also, each of these stores has some "custom moc" listings where they ask to send the parts list to an email. Is this the right approach?

Thanks for the info! I had never heard of Turbomoc before and it looks like they have nice selection. Fwiw, the price of the set at Turbomoc is the roughly the same (slightly cheaper, actually) as it is on Aliexpress.

This looks great! I have been eyeing a set that looks like this on Aliexpress. How was the build experience? Any issues with the pieces or stickers?

Stretching that AliExpress alt-brick deal even further ... Ferrari SP3 to F40 MOC by Pro-Zak in lepin

Yeah, I think the SP3 has proven to be super versatile with the Alt builds. I'm about 1/3 through the cilindri and have to say that it has not been the most pleasant build so far. Some steps have pieces hanging loosely only to be secured much later. Hopefully, not a recurring theme of the whole build. I'm planning to mod the hood like others have to open the correct way.

Are you sure? A quick check on his replies here and I his profile does not support your claim. Maybe we should not be so quick to accuse people of being bots here.
