Ok, so they're back safe. But what was so difficult repairing the tiles? There's even instructions out there how to do it...

Or in other words: Coinciding with the safe return of the real thing I received my replica today :-D

Yes, that was a disguised "Guess what I got in the mail today"-thread. Since it's not that a classic set I had to attract attention somehow - GOTCHA *twisted*

Looooool, good one Hobbes :D

Good that your package was not rerouted at the last moment to finish in France due to bad weather :D

You're right, I haven't thought about it that way :()

That shows the superior quality of LEGO over standard NASA equipment... *satis*

Very funny Hobbes. Do you enjoy that model. I thought it was fun to build. I loved all the moving parts. I wish I had one as a child. I would have had my pirates exploring the moon with one of those.

Good joke, I must admit I feel for it until I looked at the instructions. :$

Thx :)

I haven't finished it yet but so far it looks great and is fun to build.

I loved all the moving parts.

Those parts on one hand are great (and remind me of 4403) but on the other hand made me realize how limited my "MOCing" skills are because I could never come up with a "contraption" like those in this model :'(

Good joke, I must admit I feel for it until I looked at the instructions.  :$

Then it worked exactly as I wanted it to ;)
