Wow I haven't been on Eurobricks in years. Found this competition and I have to say these are some of the highest quality contest entries I've ever seen. Great work by everyone all around.

Hello, I collected many Technic supercar MOCs over the years. Unfortunately my interest in Technic has waned. This along with unexpected car repairs leads me wanting to get rid of them. I have sold several, and have these few left. These are not my designs and I will be linking the designers below. Will also link to my eBay listing with pics. Prices are pretty much a rough estimate, a lot less than what I paid originally to buy them. However, I am pretty negotiable and just want these to go to good hands. Cars have minor color substitutions in the chassis. I am located the US, Chicago specifically. Will ship internationally, we can go through eBay or Paypal G&S. Will not accept any other forms of payment. Please PM me and we can go from there. Vampire GT by Paul Boratko/Crowkillers. Great MOC, parts are definitely old on this one, could use a rebuild as Technic parts don't sit well over the years. eBay link Designer link Sunbeam Corvette by Jurgen Krooshoop. Lots of rare yellow parts, some substitutions such as the rear tail lights and parts here and there eBay link Designer link Koenigsegg CCX by Jurgen Krooshoop. Very cool doors. I added 2 extra springs in the front suspension for better playability. eBay link Designer link Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 by Sheepo. Manual version.Massive model, lot of features. I made some substitutions in the body work such as all black pins eBay link Designer link Predator Supercar by Nathaniel Kuipers. Have never built anything as unique as this before.

I was in a similar situation to you several months ago. I had always wanted the 10188 but never could afford one. Over the years I had glorified it in my mind and eventually ended up purchasing an incomplete one for only $125!. I completed it on Bricklink and assembled it, but found myself underwhelmed. I think it didn't live up to unrealistic expectations I had as a kid, maybe due to its age and very used condition? Along with that I didn't enjoy the build being stacking blocks and plates. I ended up selling it as it took up too much space. I am glad to see you enjoyed yours, I may buy another one in the future and try to appreciate it again . It still holds a special place in my heart.

Please check out pics in the link below https://imgur.com/a/yUbgODy Due to time, it has not been inventoried however, looks like nearly everything is there. I included a picture of some of the rare parts as well. The instruction manual is mostly in great shape, the front cover is starting to fall off, but the rest of the pages have aged very well. Due to not being inventoried, I am asking 410+shipping(well below Bricklink) but am very open to offers. Prefer US buyers and payment through Paypal. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I can take more pictures if desired. Great chance to get an increasingly rare set at a discount!

Looking to sell my copy of this MOC. 1:8 Scale model of the legendary Lamborghini Countach by aefferen on Rebrickable. This model is absolutely massive and is definitely a great display piece. It features a 5+R gearbox, realistic suspension, pop up headlights, scissor doors, and a V12. I am looking to make shelf room for the new 42110 Defender as my supercar shelf is full and this thing takes up a lot of space! I have made some part substitutions here and there, mainly finding substitutes for the absurdly expensive red #44 connectors. I still have 4 of them in the model, but was able to avoid using any others without impacting the looks or functionality. There are probably other small substitutions in there as well that I cannot remember. Off the top of my head, I remember replacing the 14L soft axles with 12L (not visible), replacing some red thin liftarms with black ones, older curved panels with newer style ones, and replacing the red springs with yellow. I will happily help the buyer navigate these substitutions to make sure the model turns out great. Overall however, I'd say 95% of the MOC is built accurately to the Rebrickable parts list. Taking these substitutions into account, Bricklink gives a price of around $550 to build this entire MOC using a combination of used and new parts and shipping from all over the world. I will price it at $450. Feel free to message me for more details. I am very flexible on price and am willing to consider reasonable offers. I will not provide the instructions, they are the property of the designer. Looking for payment through Paypal so both buyer and seller have protection! This is a fantastic display piece and will contribute to any supercar collection! I am located in the U.S. in Illinois. Prefer U.S buyers, but can ship internationally! More images in the Spoiler

That's a good start, thank you! Just need some help deciphering this image. Does this image mean the spring length is 9.9 cm? Along with this what is the diameter and spring stiffness then?

Fell out of Lego for a year or so and now the bug has bit me again. I've been looking for 9.5L shocks and the prices are crazy on Bricklink. A set of 4 would set me back over $50 including shipping. Thus I was wondering if anyone had found any aftermarket springs that could be substituted into softer shocks (which are way cheaper). Thanks

Being an avid Lego collector and Star Wars fan, this set has been a dream for a long time, but it came into my life at the wrong time (I am currently studying). Despite being away from my collection, I found a deal I could not pass up and impulsively bought this set 99% complete, seems to be missing a few small pieces (greebles). However, I did not think it through and am in no position to enjoy the set. Thus I am parting with it in this condition. I have not inventoried this set, but purchased it from an extremely reputable seller on eBay (100s of positive feedback). The box is beat up and missing one flap. Instructions are included. I understand this is a valuable item and will provide as many details and pictures as needed (pictures of the radar dish, instructions, box, whatever you need) so please reach out as I am motivated to sell. Finally I understand it must be odd that this is the only item available in my shop. My complete collection is at home and is thus unavailable currently. However I have placed over a hundred orders on Bricklink as a buyer, and have sold on eBay many times https://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=trn16. https://store.bricklink.com/Rishab&utm_content=globalnav#/shop?o={"showHomeItems":1} Please take a look and reach out to me here or on Bricklink. USA shipping preferred as that is what I am most familiar with. Also feel free to make me an offer! Thanks, Rishab

Got a used 10179 Millennium Falcon for $450 including box and instructions. 99.9% complete, just missing a few small pieces . Pretty happy with it, but unsure if I will keep due to space reasons.

A bit late, but all I can say is wow. This is a new standard for what can be done with Technic bodywork. Think my Porsche will have to go for this, if I can get past those rare pieces

I am using an Ultimaker 3 at my university. Covers are currently printing, and I filled about 80-90% so hopefully it works out

What aftermarket springs do you use? I built Sheepo's Jeep with softer ones, thinking that it would hold, but the entire car sags to one side

@Carsten Svendsen Thank you very much for this information! I will see what I can do with it

I was wondering if anyone with a dial caliper or something could provide me with dimensions for the 8653 wheel covers? More specifically would need the outer diameter and thickness of the area that covers the tire, and the diameter/thickness of the area that goes within the tire as seen in this pic I have access to a 3D printer and was wondering if I could try my hand at creating something similar for myself

Missed an eBay auction so came here. Long shot, but looking for a used 42056 Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Condition doesn't really matter to me. It can be missing parts and beat up, as I am just looking for something to part out. Thus not looking for instructions/box either. If anyone has something feel free to shoot me a PM

Has anyone had any luck with the Toysrus closing sales?

To preface, this might be a dumb question, but not familiar with the part since do not own 8880. I was wondering how the wheel 2998 connects to an axle? I know in 8880 it requires the use of special hubs, but how exactly does it work in set 8857? Is it just held in place by friction due to a bush? If so, does this method work well?

Sad to see this happen. End of an era IMO. Would love to buy a MOC or two from you but prices for them are much easier to be swallow when split up into Bricklink orders rather than upfront . Best of luck with the sale

Been away from my collection for a while, but decided to build this model. However, lacking a lot of white pieces in my collection, I decided to build it in an unconventional color scheme as I had a lot of pieces shared from Pvdb's Mclaren F1. IMO the end result turned out badass, but let me know what you think The finished model is seriously fantastic. Probably the best supercar I have built so far. The way it all fits together and has a bit of sturdiness to it is amazing. The gearbox is fantastic considering it comes from the pre-Porsche era and doesn't make use of something 100% reliable (for example Didumos's 90 degree stepper mechanism). It works every time and have not encountered any problems despite using one worn out rubber band. During the build it often feels like working shifting is a dream that is never bound to happen. I was playing around with it while building and kept thinking to myself that "damn this model probably won't work in the end I'm going to be disappointed", but when it all comes together wow it is ingenious; The doors are great too, and having build Jurgen Krooshop's Koenigsegg, it is interesting to see how both builders tackled the complex mechanism. The only problem I experienced is that my left door has a lot of friction, but still works. I only have a few critiques of this model. First off the lack of HOG is a bit annoying, but makes sense as the model is really dense and has no room. Also would break up the fantastic body lines. Next the front suspension is pretty much maxed out, meaning no travel at all. This doesn't really bother me as it really gives the model a low look like the real thing. Finally, and probably the most annoying, is the instructions. I'm not sure if its the fact that I haven't built in a while, but wow these instructions were really frustrating at times. A lot of modules require forcing and bending in order to make them fit resulting in two broken pins for me. This could have been avoided if they simply placed a few pieces in before hand, but instead the builder is required to do a lot of wrestling with the car to make stuff fit. I particularly found the rear axle and doors really difficult to fit on, but there were quite a few areas where you really have to use force, which was always worrying as I didn't want to break any drivetrain stuff Overall though, what a fantastic supercar. Definitely staying on my shelf and highly recommend building it to anyone interested. For people struggling to find rare white pieces, black is a viable option IMO. Most of the pieces aren't too hard to find, just need about 13 of those rare black bushes, and around 50 3L black pins to make the body look better. Also easy to substitute the 14L axles with 12L and a connector. If anyone wants the Rebrickable parts file for the black color scheme or has any questions, feel free to ask

10177 787 Dreamliner missing around 5 parts for 20 dollars at a used book store

Hey guys. I'm looking for a set on the smaller end to keep on my work desk. Just want something to keep my hands busy if needed. I was thinking something such as 8837, a small set with good functionality, and price well under 50 dollars, although it does command a premium now due to the metal hook. Any suggestions?

Every single time you make a new car, you get exponentially better even at such a high level. Can't wait to see what you come up with next as this looks fantastic

Nice review as always Jim. The pictures are as crisp as ever and IMO it seems like the get better with every review if that's even possible. On the other hand the pictures do a great job of showing so much of the color vomit in this set. I thought it would end with yellow axles and such, but TLG has added even more than usual. Orange 1x2 liftarms? All those yellow connectors and liftarms? And then the different coloring on either sides of the chassis. Gearbox is interesting looking, Claas tires are nice. always good to have something large scale, and the color is nice, but that in no way redeems anything for this set. IMO its one of the most disappointing sets in the last few years.

This looks great! Guess it can be used for some Lego tofu deliveries

This is looking fantastic so far! IMO something about it reminds me of the Jaguar XJ220 not sure why. Also nice that it incorporates pop up headlights
