roamingstop Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Im not sure if this is the right place to ask the question - but will try. I was interested in picking up a copy of Vesta's Windmill - 4999 (?) - and found a few available on Ebay coming from China - either in damaged box or no box or mint condition. Somehow the broken english of the description is making me think seriously about whether it is worth it - are the pieces genuine (it does not matter what is written in the description). I unfortunately missed out on a really nice priced unit (without box) as I was on holiday and forgot to increase my bids. But im also wondering if it make sense just to buy the bits manually from BL and other sets... Any thoughts and comments would be appreciated. Thanks
jonwil Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 You will find that you cant buy all the parts from other sets as there are some parts (including the sticker sheet and green rock pieces) that are exclusive to this set.
Enilder Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 hows FB score? you can probably tell if it's genuine or fake LEGO based on package and product (i hope)
Shadows Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 You will find that you cant buy all the parts from other sets as there are some parts (including the sticker sheet and green rock pieces) that are exclusive to this set. The burps are worth the $6 each, but I could never justify the $25 sticker price. I'd have to make my own, even though I dislike that kind of thing. I believe there's also a rare length of wire in there, but someone else can figure that out. I don't expect to ever have this set, I just can't afford Euro exclusives as much as I'd love to. It's like attending events, I'm just not in a position to do it.
roamingstop Posted March 17, 2010 Author Posted March 17, 2010 Some of the links regularly appearing are http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=320502750231 and http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=320502750537 or http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=320499383537 Im not after all the 'exclusive' bits - rather I think the scale and size of the model is somewhat better than the current one on 'S@H' (hard to find etc). Thanks for the replies
