There’s a Lego instructions app which has all the kits on.

here’s the parts list for the 720

How much will it cost all in once you've replaced the missing parts out of interest?

Tesco have a few of the Speed Champions on offer atm if you have a Clubcard.

Made a start on the Quattro today...  I was given a Tesco gift card for Christmas so thought it was about time I used it! 

The box says 7 years but I don't think it'll take that long...

Also noticed the back page of the instruction book contains the same reference as the app pictures above.  I know yours is an older model though so may not have it.

The app is the same instructions book, it’s just a bit easier to read if you’re using a tablet. Being able to zoom in is handy for some of the bigger sets.

Lego released a VW T2 camper at the weekend...  Looks cool, but costs £150! :unsure:

I’ve got the T1 camper from a couple of years back, they could have done a brighter colour for the T2.

theres a F150 raptor coming in October.

Why is Lego so expensive anyway ?

Especially the big kits! Son saw the big Bugatti on the TV a while ago, he went daft and wanted one, that was until he saw the crazy price.

People's interest in Lego really grew since the beginning of covid19, 

I started collecting Hotwheels for my six year old son last January; I'm finished now 😅

They make a nice display piece; I've tried best to get real life models which are achievable to purchase the real models, although some models cost me as much as 40 pounds yeah just for the one model,

Paid our eldest daughter 20 euro to sit and put a Dyno label on each shelf and a corresponding label under each model; this way our son can play with them while maintaining formation in the shelves, 

There staged in rows of different type from recovery truck, dakker rally, pick up truck, drag racing, hot rod, American muscle, lemans 24, F1, WRC rally, Honda, Japanese drift, Japanese street, euro and convertible

My 28yr old son loves Hot Wheels cars though he only looks for Ford & 'Fast & Furious' versions, some good un's can be found in Morrisons & TESCO.

I found a great website for 1:64 scale models called toms.nl 

Based in Amsterdam; I'm in Republic of Ireland, so there's no import taxes, check out the Inno64 models there highly detailed, Toyota Starlet GT models coming soon aswell as AE101 corolla sedan

That's the latest version, isn't it?  The older one looks better, IMHO, comes with minifigs.
