Following on from this, those two still haven’t arrived but a third one shipped on the 3rd of September arrived. I’ll take it! Nothing too interesting, most of that was in the second order.

I’m in the same boat waiting for the two that shipped on the 24th of August. I think it’s a combination of the slow shipping plus the crazy AusPost delays. Had a package from Big W take three and a half weeks going across the city. I am a little nervous but going to keep being patient and have a nice surprise when it finally gets here.

I built it yesterday and ultimately it was disappointing. The interior really does feel like it was rushed more than anything else - given how much the sides open it draws more attention to it. Upside is I’m excited to mod it to build all these details in, like more accurate engines, brick building more of the panelled exterior.

I only recently discovered B&P after seeing someone post a haul of gold pieces from the Monkey King Warrior Mech on insta. I did a test order of gold only on 24/7 (2 piece types, 400 in total), then a more substantial order on the 25/7 (54 piece types, 593 in total). Both of those got shipped on Monday after a couple of weeks in Warehouse. Not large per se but definitely different in part spread. A third order from 7/8 is still In Warehouse. Local sourcing here probably plays a part in that too. Signed up just to say thank you to the lovely people in this thread. It’s been a delightful realisation that you can source parts from sets that otherwise would be out of my price range or low on my priority list. https://nostalgic-wilson-b2026b.netlify.app/index.html in particular is an amazing resource to just browse in. This has really got me delving deeper into part specifics than I have previously and I’ve greatly enjoyed that process.
