Well my Caterham turned up yesterday courtesy of Royal Mail - no customs fees to pay as the seller had handily marked it's value at $15.

Have yet to unpack it and see which manufacturer it is or what the quality is like.

Quite impressed with delivery time too as I ordered it on 28th March.

My Lego mad mate at work has referred to it as 'smego' or 'rego'.

Mind you though, I'll be the one laughing if it turns out decent quality - which if it does I can see the GT3 RS making its way over too.

When the Lego management team were told about cheap bricks they went to pieces.

I ordered one just after this post came up. Took 5 days to get here and is fantastic.

After the finance people analysed the impact on Legos profits due to cheap bricks, the directors were bricking it.

Started my Caterham last night.


Realised that bag numbers meant diddley and just dumped the lot on a tray - way more fun!


Went together fairly well and impressed with the quality of the bricks. Only issue was trying to distinguish between black and dark grey in the instructions.







Really good fun and pretty good quality - well worth the £25.00!!

Will be getting more in the future - tempted to get my lad the Millennium Falcon for his Birthday.

I've had the genuine Caterham since Christmas and always wanted a blue one to match my Locost. Just ordered one of these, thanks for the headsup!
