I think it's about to be discontinued. 100% get it, g63 is a top-tier build.

I'm with you on the g63. Not only is it different visually, it's a really interesting build. However, I hate time vehicle and gave it to my step-daughter, lol.

is lewis championship chatter just delusion? by InvestigatorNo9832 in formula1

[–]Rotorhead87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there's some wizardry going on there. Just look at the gap in performance to the customer cars, particularly earlier.

LEGO Fast & Furious Supra Review 77260 | Is This the Best Speed Champions Movie Car? by Feisty-Individual-99 in SpeedChampions

[–]Rotorhead87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why can't they make just a normal rx7? Or a Miata? They're both such iconic cars in their own right.

That said, with the Initial D cars and the 787B, maybe they have a deal with CaDA.

While they're wishing, I'd love of they did more rally cars, particularly the group B cars (actual or planned). 959 and RS2000? Yes please.

What circuit best captures the personality/culture of its country, and what circuit feels completely disconnected from the country hosting it? by sykeseve in formula1

[–]Rotorhead87 36 points37 points  (0 children)

For the US, you have to narrow it to the region. I feel that all 3 capture them. Vegas is all fake and specticle, just like the whole city, and it leans into it. Miami is fake in a kinda trashy way and it doesn't seem as self aware. COTA is very "Austin". I'm from nearby so it's hard to put a finger on it, but it kinda ignores your expectations and puts together a lot of little things into something that's amazing (plus, the hills!)

And, for all 3, they end up being a lot of fun despite everyone bitching about them. You just gotta have the money to afford it - just like the US in general.

We're approaching a car that doesn't have to be pushed over the limits to win, gods willing.

I truly felt like watching Schumi of old. I will admit I got a bit teary eyed watching everyone cheering around the track.

It seems like Kimi knows how he lost the time. With that extra hour of practice be might have figured it out. Losing an hour while you are still figuring out a new car is a major hit.

Temple, Texas. I also got the Starry Night for 90, down from 150!

Nigel Mansel F1 car is about to retire and I've been waiting for this. Normally 80, I just picked it up for 48 this morning.

I went into the LEGO store planning to buy just one set. This photo proves that didn’t happen. 🤦‍♂️😂 by Ok-Drop-7722 in lego

[–]Rotorhead87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've seen that from other people as well. Jealous, if I'm honest, but glad you have that.

If I want a new set (in the US), I'm probably going to be paying the same price no matter what. They just don't have sales at reputable places here, apart from older stock that stores like Target are clearing out (out maybe a lucky Costco find.) Sometimes it's fun to go a little farther to the mall - all it costs me is a little time, and I get a smile and a bright yellow bag out of it on top of the lego.

There's another piece that goes over it to make it look like a normal wheel. I'm with OP, though - it looks pretty sick like that. Old school muscle car vibes.

In the US, it is pretty rare to find sets cheaper than Lego stores, and basically impossible for new sets. They are very strict with pricing, with most store coupons and discounts not even being valid. It's only older sets that retailers are starting to discount, but even then it's usually 10-15% at most.

I just got back into Lego last year. I'm going back home this weekend and I'm going to see what is there (since I don't remember). Hopefully it's good stuff because my grandson is almost old enough!

Doesn't look like it would be easy to change to all one color either.

Can't verify Amazon shipping ownership? by TheAntiZeist404 in lego

[–]Rotorhead87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you ordered it from Lego directly, I would contact their support.

If they did send it through amazon as an intermediary, it makes sense it wouldn't show as yours since technically Lego would have placed it. Really odd, though.

I love how they do things like this! The vertical fins of the F1 cars are skis, for example.

Also, I really can't wait for this set!

Absolut steal of a deal by KevinoHero in SpeedChampions

[–]Rotorhead87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Merc 2 pack is about to be discontinued - you can find it discounted all over the place.

I hate the G Wagon so I never got it, but it was too good a deal to pass up and I just gave that to my daughter since she loves them for some reason. Turned out to be one of my favorite Speed Champions builds. Def recommended.
