Silent time Machine set

[nimon]

I did find out though that theres one about a five minute train hop away from me that I didn't know about, if you want I could see if they have a few in stock and ask them to deliver one to you (unless theyre available online, and with free delivery too, I haven't checked)

actually thinking about it the last time I asked for something to be ordered to my mates house from the liverpool store I had their card details so maybe not a good idea in this case

Just got this from Argos. Not opened it yet, but I'll post some pics of it opened soon.

got this today from FP Manchester, and have just finished building, the tips of my fingers are a little sore but the set looks great, it's like two sets in one silent tunnel mini set and silent time machine miniset, just the right ammount of detail and very creatively designed verry happy with it

Got this last week from Argos and got the time to build it yesterday.

What a great set.

I will absolutely congratulate who ever designed this set and decided to release it. It's brilliant.

A real winner from CB/CO. Its a great build with the 2 section - I built the second bit first as wanted to finish with the ship itself.

The two levels are brilliant to have as it covers so much more than just the time machine would have on its own so upping the playability, options for display and places to put the Silence microfigures (great this comes with 2 but you need a few more to make it look really good).

It has had a lot of thought behind how its constructed (unlike the dreadfully fragile and frustrating to build TARDIS mega set) so it is stable and the construction techniques have becomes part of the look of the whole thing e.g with the struts in the tome machine. They is some good detail on it too.

The one slight negative is it gets a bit fiddly in places and the instructions should have been a little bit more thought out - once I had to take it apart to put some small pieces in on the bed thing on the upper level and the black 'tube/wires' are a snug fit between joints so led to a bit of a frustrating end to the build. Just make sure on the final top bit that the tube/wires come out of are in line with the struts on either side.

And the blight of all construction toys.....stickers - it would have looked so much more glossy had the control panels had been printed.

These are fairly minor gripes so on the whole I give this 9.5/10

The great big plus of this set is the price - £19.99 is great value for money (if this was a LEGO set I feel this would have been in the £34.99-£39.99 range of licensed products).

I have not been positive about the price of the Berlin and TARDIS sets (£9.99) but this is well worth it.

This is a highly recommended set.

Yeah, I'm gonna be getting the Silent 5-pack from Argos to bulk up the Silents.

that's exactly what I did, it's just the right ammount of silents for the ship, I might buy another one so I can have some in the underground bit at the same time

Great plan!
