Great review again Whitefang, I look forward to your review almost as much as I look forward to the next minifigure series! On the voting, however, I like the idea of having a mixture of a classic box, a themed box, and a licensed box of minifigures per year. What do others think?

From memory, the mounting system for the wheels is slightly different between the front and back wheels, to allow the rear ones to turn. Again from memory (I'm at work) the rear wheels were mounted 1 or two plates further away from the main body to allow this. Have a look at the mountings on the bottom of the Sandcrawler - try removing the four identical wheel holding blocks from the body and compare front and back mountings on the base of the Sandcrawler - they should be different.

This isn't the best time to use VIP points to pay at S@H, as they mean you get less double VIP points on your order. Just done 3 separate orders on S@H UK, hoping to get 3 Toy Workshops (in the past the one per household has never been applied to multiple S@H orders that I've made). One order was the Town Hall which seems at risk of EOL

I got a #42030 Volvo L350F last week in Smyths in St Helens, UK. The price on the box was £139.99, so I asked an assistant if the price was correct, as it seemed quite low (I had already had a quick check online while in the store, and seen that it was £169.99 on the Smyths web site). He told me it would have been priced correctly, and so I took it to the till, where it rang up the full £169.99. I pointed out that the sticker on the box gave a lower price, so he spoke to someone senior on the shop floor, who then went off for 5 minutes to talk to the manager, then came back and gave it to me at the lower price. There were mutters in the background about a mispriced item... I'm afraid it's back to full price in that shop :-(
