I’ve got the dozer on the way from Zavvi, got it 30% off, the trade off is I have to wait weeks for it to arrive, as it’s come from over seas.

This is my latest project, wasn’t going to get it, as I’m not a big motorbike fan, but they had one built in the Lego shop and saw how detailed it was..

BMW M 1000 RR

My collection spans from 1979 to today, I claimed my older brothers Lego when I was a toddler and never looked back. The picture of the half build Colosseum doesn’t do the size justice, it’s absolutely huge, and heavy too. All the tubs are full of more sets that I haven’t put back together yet. We’ll be moving this year so once they have their permanent home then I’ll rebuild everything. Meanwhile the unbuilt sets continue to pile up.

There’s more tubs and unbuilt sets that have already been packed up, and more on order, including Titanic. Tell you what though, they’re making the sets more adult and charging adult prices too!

Diagnosed Legonitis ..Prognosis is managable by regular injections of new kits but deemed incurable .. but what a disease to have .

I have the other ailment . Modeltrainitis...similar prognosis , similar treatment .. Associated conditions include R/C Syndrome , Carnuttus/Fourwheeldrive disease , Rod/Reel/Boatitis ,Fordfan Syndrome and several other serious afflictions resulting in prolonged treatments compounded by bouts of enjoyment and achievement to the patient ..

Every time I look at my 50 HO locomotives , 300 plus rolling stock , three or four different Analog or DCC control systems etc etc.. I temper the cost financially that it's only as I can afford it , the sheer fun to build and run.

,Been at model rail for about 20 years now , over that time guessing $20,000 so about $1000 per year or roughly $20 a week ..

Good mate has the same thing with R/C aircraft but is now also into LEGO . Newest aquisition is the Milenium Falcon ..

Go with LEGO .. Can't go wrong .



In the meantime if you have any of these conditions a help and support service of great value and assistance is Australian Ford Forums . This online service provides many consultants and specialists for any concerns from whatever of these diseases affect the patient ..
