Mrs hh:angel:Do they have the puma engines or something decent? ;)

I guess at 1:24 scale 16 microlitre engine may be O.K. but I wouldn't want to change the injectors.

Looks like something decent:o:) there appears to be no 'bump' in the bonnet:)

Hopefully rego is cheaper than the full sized ones.... :p

[woody]

swmbo might just get that new 90 she likes, I'm guessing that size won't matter ;)

[Ranga]

A mate of mine is very good at model making. Might have to get him to do one for me ;)

At $7.99 I expect the build quality of the model is as good as the real thing ;).


The toy boxes have a Defenderish look about them too:

[The ho har's]

I have been at work all morning, though have been informed by Mrs ZD534, that I have one and so do you numpty:D

Mrs hh:angel:

[Xtreme]

I think we should put the screws on Aldi to make a donation to AULRO for all the free advertising and promotion they've received since you started this thread Mrs hh. :D

[Ranga]

If anyone wants one, let me know. I have... a few ;)

A challenge to you Mick:)

Mrs hh:angel:

[V8Ian]

They seem to have a Puma bonnet hiding a TD5. :confused:

How are the rear lights arranged? I'm presuming the blinkers are above the parkers on the front. :angel:

[The ho har's]

Actually I haven't seen mine yet, will let you know when I do:)

[zulu Delta 534]

A surprisingly good model especially for the price. Most parts fit together without the need for glue but some of the more finicky pieces like side indicator lights and wiper blades may require some persuasion to keep them in place.
Patsy got three this morning (Numpty, Ho Hars and us) and these were the only three Defenders left at 0840. The other model cars were also walking out the shop at a rather alarming rate.

The tail/brake lights should be to the top, the indicators to the bottom and being Left Hand drive, the larger red "fog light" to the drivers side and reversing light to the passengers side, whereas at the front, the park lights are to the top and the indicators on the bottom (according to the picture on the box lid!!:angel:)

Glen

[V8Ian]

Thanks Glen, I've got all the small bits sitting in the upturned lid, on the table. :D

[V8Ian]

Job done, it needs a bar, driving lights, side steps etc., etc.; not much different to the real thing actually. :phttp://www.aulro.com/afvb/attachment.php?attachmentid=45485&d=1333544897

[zulu Delta 534]

Search around Ian, you still have the fuel filler to go!!

I thought the post for an Aldi defender model was a childish whim by grown men. Last night heading to the supermarket to buy a loaf of bread I deviated into Aldi. Curious to see the model Puma. Seeing it there I felt adultish not to buy it. And it was at my arbitrary $8 price point. I cannot pass up an opportunity to buy a toy if priced at or below $8. Construction will be my easter break project since my 110 hasn't got any pressing repairs. Shame they didn't release a 110. That would have been real special.

I've embraced the childish status now.

I've searched Glen, no bits left over. :confused: I may have to fabricate an AULRO cover. ;)

[weeds]

righto who raided the carlesdine store..........

[V8Ian]

That the one near Bunnings Weeds? I got mine at Kipparing, don't waste time going there.

[vnx205]

Tuggerah had no models of any of the vehicles at all this morning.

I realised that the Defenders might go quite quickly, but who would have thought that those lesser vehicles would also sell out within one day?

[V8Ian]

I saw half a dozen people walking out with one of each available, or multiples of.

[Pomgonewalkabout]

Sorry that should read $7.99 Defender die cast kits from Aldis but when I nipped into my local store this morning they were sold out. Damn

[DiscoMick]

I'm still trying to get Autobarn to sell me one of their Defender posters....:angel:

[Beckford]

None left at Wyoming, Gosford or Chatswood. :(

[bobslandies]

None at Warringah Mall, Manly Wharf, Marrickville Metro, Richmond or Quakers Hill but got two at Mona Vale!

(I did not go to all of those shops but other Land Rover Coordinating and Cooperation Authority members helped. More troops will be out in force over the weekend!)

We also found a few other well priced and useful items.

[scarry]

When they do their stocktake,hopefully they will realise they are a good seller & get a heap more in:)

[bigcarle]

i was at the Wynnum Aldi yesterday getting cheap Easter eggs and asked about the models as i couldn't see any and was told they sold out the day before :(

[Landy Smurf]

i had a look at belconnan at act and they didnt have any very disapointing

[DiscoMick]

I couldn't find any in the Springwood area.

[haydent]

[scarry]

None at the hyperdome either:(

They said they came in Thursday & sold out in one day,no more for a few months.

[The ho har's]

Scarry & DiscoMick, you do live in our area, do you think you would find one:o:D:D

A few of us were at Incisors place this weekend, CC droped into Kingaroy Aldi, and not one there either:(

Mrs hh:angel:Why are you reading the instructions?

How do you expect to have left over parts now?

:confused::confused:

[bobslandies]

Why are you reading the instructions?

:confused::confused:

I have managed to have a screw left over. Even looking at the directions it was easy to miss! It's the one that holds the spare wheel on the back door. Too late now to fit it though as it is all glued up.

For those in Sydney who have missed out on one of these excellent Welly 90s from Aldis come along to tomorrow (Tuesday) night's meeting of Land Rover Enthusiasts - NSW at the Concord RSL - one will be raffled and if I win it it will be redrawn! I'll take my assembled one for you to have a peek at.

Sydney based (or visiting) AULRO members are welcome to attend the informal gathering of Land Rover Enthusiasts being held at Concord RSL and Community Club, end of Nirranda Street, Concord West at 8.00PM.

Concord is easily accessed and there is plenty of parking! Just tell your GPS to take you there (or use a directory).

The Club has a Bistro with great food and refreshments are available.

[dullbird]

they looks like reasonable quality...I went in Aldi the other day to buy the logitech remote never saw any models at all..which surprised me as ours is pretty good for stock of all the latest offers. I'm wondering whether some stores simply didn't stock the cars

Me too, plus it took me as long to find the reversing light that shot into the air from the tweezers ricocheted off the wall and landed on the carpet than it did to put the whole 90 together:mad:.......and the side indicators:confused:
I always ended up with too much glue on my airfix planes as a young kid and still not keen on model making. However, I enjoyed the finished product.

I took my assembled 90 to our Meeting last night. Many members were not aware of them being available (even for such a short time) and were impressed with the detail.

One of our members - Matt - who is a keen model collector won the raffle and it will look very noice in his cabinet!
