Most likely due to customers complaining about damaged boxes . For reference, 10243 Parisian Restaurant is in the same state. Takes 10-12 business days according to Amazon rep. Funny that the 10243 thread is rife with early retirement speculation, while this thread is filled with a typical British air of "nothing to see here, move along" ..... must be the set theme Edited February 2, 2016 by Phil B 1 Quote

But I would further sub out sticker applying for certain builds. Maybe certain other elements also. I would just be the GC that collects the check and orders missing pieces at a 25% up charge. Quote

I saw this just now. Almost considered responding, as I enjoy the construction more than anything, but $20 isn't much for all the time it would take to do. 1 Quote

Salimr Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 I let my coworker build our Tower Bridge. He said his wife really wanted to build it and I knew I would never get to it. Worked out great as I can't stand repetitive builds. Now I need to see if he wants to build my maersk I don't like stickers either. 1 Quote
MathBuilder Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) I built my TB with the help of two friends. 2 people building each tower in parallel and the third person sorting and pre-supplying the pieces. We rotated the sorting job from time to time. The build went relatively quickly this way and was enjoyable. Edit: I just realized we are in DD thread. Sorry for continuing the off topic Mods.
