Never made a proper thread for this, i think i am going to sell it, so have dug it out of wardrobe to build and check all the parts are there 
This is the box the lego comes in, very big, i have put my car key on there for scale

When you open the box there are lots of photos and stuff, This model has 4 electrics motors, 2 infared sensors, remote control and is nearly half a metre long..

bits in the box, quite disappointed that lego just shove all the bits in a box and there is no form of plastic tray to organise the pieces

random pile of lego bits

Step 1 completed, this took a few seconds and i have form a bigger piece of lego from 3 smaller pieces

few more bits done.

after about 16 steps i had two things, no idea what part they are really.

the two things got joined together to make 1 thing

i put a motor in the lego thing

i then stopped for a break, i have made it before and takes quite a long time
gorilla isn't sure what to make of walnut whip

Awesome thread Jim.
Out of interest, you say you have put your car keys on the box to show scale, what kind of car do you drive?

You say you have built it before, what level of OCD must you have to put all the parts back into their seperate wee bags after disassembling it...

I was in the LEGO store the other day and really wanted to buy an AT-AT Walker. Saying that it was £90 so was quite easy to walk away

I've got an 8865, not as cool as an 8880 though.

UPDATE:
After i'd tidied the bits up into bags again for another photoshoot, here is were i started


Built 2nd half of it

The two parts with large motors ready to join together

Joined together, this makes 1 piece

some bits added to the bit

here we have a few bits which i organised into a nice array

A few of the aforementioned parts being joined together

wheel bits on the bits formed from all the other bits

and now the bits are completed, leaving me with twomore bits

fitted those bits to the other bit
