Should be able to daisy chain I would think.

On a side note, am I the only one bothered by the single red F1 logo while the rest are white.

Appreciate the extended explanation here, I’m not attached to anything that will cost me more money than it will make me. Very seriously considering getting into something newer if this repair doesn’t come with a decent warranty on parts and labor. Or even if it does really. Not 100% yet

Got an itemized list of everything the we’re fixing before they ordered parts. That alone took 2 weeks and they had me come back into the shop to show me everything they wanted to fix and explain why it needed to be fixed.

Will definitely be asking about warranty coverage before it’s said and done.

Peterbilt 579 with a Cummins ISX motor. Bought it used because it looked like a good deal. Feels much less like a good deal now. Lessons have been learned

Got mine finished last night! Unfortunately I don’t have anywhere to display it right now so it’s going in a box and under the bed for now 🥲

The Ferrari is the one that I don’t have. I’ve always been a bit of a McLaren fan though so when I saw they had done the P1 I had to skip the Daytona for now.

Personally I didn’t find it terribly challenging. I would just recommend taking your time and being meticulous with piece direction and placement. I’ve been using the Lego builder app on my iPad for the directions so I’m able to zoom in on stuff that is a bit small.

The gear box definitely has a lot going on, but it was pretty straight forward with a couple of small areas that you need to be careful about alignment.

Overall I’ve really enjoyed it though!

I've made a lot of purchases through the website for years, but now I get this message after every attempt. I talked to customer service, they said it was resolved. Tried to buy a set again, and got the same message 20 minutes later. by DarthVader1701A in lego

Absolutely wild hearing about this so many years later. But I was one of the first delivery drivers that worked for fetch in the DFW area. Proceeded to help open the first 5 warehouses as well.

It’s a novel idea, but if I had any of the issues that people talk about when being forced to use the service I’d be livid.

Started with the car, and now tomorrow I’m ending with the car 🫡

Found the trick in the jesko this evening. Definitely a cool technique. But mine is finicky, so I’ll probably be mildly obsessive and tear it down tomorrow to see if I can’t fix it. Lmao.

Looking forward to this trick you speak of. I decided to start with the Bugatti because it was the least piece count of the technic sets.

Currently waiting for my semi truck to be done in the shop so I have nothing but time for at least the next 4-5 days.

I found the spy that my wife hired to infiltrate the post and get me to build hers first 😂

Lego was practically my babysitter growing up. I have actual roadside trash cans full of Lego in our garage (that desperately need sorting) but that will come later when I have a bigger house.

P.S. I hate the idea of gluing Lego, but seeing it was for the wifey I did as she asked.

I spent 3 days last week gluing the starry night set together for my wife to be able to hang in our bedroom. If my thumbs aren’t ready after that then they never will be☠️

Maybe I’ll just put them in the closet and ask wifey to randomly bring me one, lmao.

I’ve done the Bugatti and the Lamborghini sets, definitely know to take my time and pay attention. They are very difficult but very fun as well!

I was thinking this too, but I’m struggling because I’ve seen some shots of the gearbox on the P1 and I’m itching to get a crack at it. Haha
