***The Official OcUK Lego Thread***

It's taking ages for me. I ordered the new Ferrari and it was sitting in the warehouse for at least 2 weeks, it's been shipped but still no sign of it sadly. On the tracking it now just says shipped, in transit in Mechelen (BE), United Kingdom. Been that way since the 12th.

Sadly - my order has messed up.

I ordered and it went through but now I have a cancelled email saying "I have ordered more than the allowed quantity". But I only ordered 1!!

I think I know the issue, I tried to order it in December but it went on to back order. Once it came back into stock, the payment details had timed out and then they messed up renewing the payment so I ended up just cancelling the order.
I think their computer system is detecting the failed order and saying I can't order a second one - even though the order was cancelled!

Going to leave it for now - I am not desperate for it.

Ah makes sense, I ordered the flowers that where on back order - Just checked the site, it says out of stock now. It said they'd take 60 days, i'm not really to fussed about that but I do want the car.

I'm tempted by the McLaren Senna GTR as it looks pretty good and is under 50 quid.

Anyone else pick it up?

 

[BongoHunter]

Ordered the Technic Off-Road Buggy (42124) - fingers crossed the shipping doesn't take forever!

 

[potatolord]

Has anyone bought Mould King kits?

Just wondering whether the motors/ pneumatics are any good and how compatible they seem with the Lego (especially power functions) stuff.

Tempted, just for parts, but don't want to waste my money if it's rubbish.

If I use VIP points on a purchase, do I still earn the full VIP points as well on that item?

 

[steve5424]

Yes you do.

Has anyone ever used light my bricks?

Looks amazing, it’s an Australian company so price is quite high.

Not specifically, but I had a dabble with - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B085FXC1BB

That's what I used for the Falcon. They are expensive, however I'm sure they opened a European shop recently. Be warned though, as there is a thickness to the cables so studs don't go fully in they are also very fiddley (but do look cool).

 

[steve5424]

There us also briksmax and lightailing that do lighting kits.

Either their own pages or on amazon.

Thanks, will have a look further before taking the plunge.

The Ideas Blacksmith is coming 1st Feb. Looks great. £134.99 and 2,164 pieces.

No

I purchased two £179.99 items. For one I used VIP points to the value of £20

For the one I paid full price I got 1440 VIP points (8 per £1) and for the one I only paid £159.99 for I only got 1280 VIP points (still 8 per £1 spent)

Still waiting on a couple more bits and bobs.

Nice! I'd seen a leak recently but it looks better now there are official pictures.

Will go great with the other Expert models.

I think they should do a boxster, panamera or cayenne just for a laugh, or more seriously a career gt but at viron scale.

 

[b0rn2sk8]

This is already on my wish list, aprantly they are going something through the VIP account to go with it but I doubt I will have enough points for it.

 

[GSXRMovistar]

That new Porsche looks similar to the kit Mould King do.
