Hey all
Just after a recommendation for Lego for my son. He's just finished the McLaren F1 which he really enjoyed. He was after the Lamborghini Sian next but havent noticed any on sale over the last few weeks and it looks OOS in many places.
Any recommendations on a similar challenging Lego build? Preferrably something along the lines of the F1 McLaren but I think any set that is a challenging build would be good.
A set on special would be ideal!
Thanks
That one looks like a good next buy. Thanks for the recommendation :)
I was in the same position, having first built the McLaren F1 and looking for the next challenge, my next build was the Land Rover Defender. I highly recommend it. It's an amazing build, especially the internal mechanical componentry. Get it before it sells out, you won't regret it.
If you are seriously considering the Sian, this retailer still has stock: https://www.justbricks.com.au/lego-products/technic/42115-le… and can confirm the retailer is legit, ours arrived last week. It's technically on sale so it fits your criteria lol.
Thanks for the store recommendation. I saw on past ozbargain deals it got around the 400 mark. Was hoping for another sale at that price!
If it’s in the budget Amazon has the Ferrari onsale at the moment with 19% off

Yep I saw that one. Looks good but a little out of price range … Was hoping to spend sub $400
Protip with sharing URLs/links, anything after and including the question mark can be removed and the link will still work fine.
Should have mentioned I was looking at around sub $400. A bit of a challenge with the Lego price inflation
bugatti
Looks like a good build. Crazy what it's retailing for currently. Almost double compared to some sales last year :(
Get the BMW M 1000 RR
This is cool! Looks like either this or the Land Rover. Im a bit of an eBay noob. Whats the best discount codes to use? I see its on Big W ebay
Ford Mustang
If you're brave, you can dive into offbrand sets. Brands like CADA are actually pretty good.
This has opened up a whole lot more to look in to. Have you purchased from that store before? Any other retailers that sell CADA sets that you know of?
Yup bought heaps from them before. Sea shipping take ages but the air shipping is a lot more expensive and I reckon there’s no guarantee it’ll get here before Christmas.
Yourwobb.com is a little more expensive but they ship quick.
How much for McLaren set? Whats a good deal on it?
Its 196 currently at Amazon. That's a good price I think. It has been cheaper before though
I have no idea if this is a good deal or not, but the big AT-AT creative kit is sub-$1k on Amazon, allegedly nearly 25% off:

The Land Rover Defender is quite the challenging vehicle build with an 8 speed gearbox and on special at Amazon. Will probably retire soon.
Not as sleek as an F1 car obviously but as I say, challenging. :)
