My Xmas wish list

Lego Technic Racing Car 8865

I was about 11/12 years and I wanted this set so badly, unfortuntely it was 60-70£ (if memory serves me right) and my parents refused to buy it for me for Christmas, I scrimped and saved my pocket money for ages and still couldn't afford it. My husband bought it for me for my 30th birthday and we spent many happy evenings building it together, I still have it.

I have wanted this set forever, it has figures! It has a death ray! It has Darth Vader! It has the compacter hall, it has Han Solo and Leia and a the Wookey! It is absolutely gigantic and I have nowhere to put it and its £274! I waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant it! Sadly no-one has got this for me for Xmas as yet, I live in hope.

*spins Death Star on its very own lazy susan....*

Wheeeeeheheheeee!!!

*looks around*

Oh.

*hides*

::innocent:: :^)

(Actually, I got it last year for my son, who proudly keeps it safe on his dresser in his room on a lazy susan I found to keep it on. Only once have I had to horrify him by it: To dust it thoroughly, I took it outside to a secure chair, sprayed with with Pine Sol solution and gently rinsed it with the hose nozzle set on "shower", and then let it dry in the breeze. That was quite the nail-biter afternoon for him, despite all my caution! ;^) But it turned out gorgeously, not a piece out of place after the fact. [/protip])
