	Some of the kits they do now are amazing. Thinks it's September time they are realising a series of cars from the orginal ghostbusters and rumour has it back to the future at some point

	I still have my old Lego stuff in the attick, but nothing is as cool as this! Seriously thinking about 'forcing' my daughter to like these kits so I can have a go.

	BTTF Delorean is out now (I built mine last weekend). AFAIK there is no plan for the other BTTF car. Ghostbusters is coming soon. They are both CUUSOO, so have been developed from a fan's design rather than developed by LEGO. There is a CUUSOO website where you can vote on designs. Every quarter LEGO revies the highest scoring to see if it has potential to be sold commercially.

	I've lost hours browsing some of those on flickr. Using helmet visors as overfenders is a great trick. I think I might be able to build one of those 2002s…

	I like my (sons) Lego, but I take issue with some of the MOCs built because they aren't "playable" and will fall apart at the slightest push. There's no doubt they look excellent though and you have to be able to perfom illegal build techniques like a pro. Search out Nick Barrett's builds, his latest Mini and Minor are truly excellent and look "old skool". As for my stuff, it's pretty rudimentary. I'm still stuck in the build mode of bottom to top.
