binary_storm Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I think it looks pretty bad. However, the grille reminds me of this emoji -- ? -- which I find quite amusing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Leicester Sq gearing up for launch day on Wednesday. Could potentially double your money on the day given the international appeal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheese Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I think he spends most of his time in the US now. Before he got married would see him regularly in the neighbourhood. May be worth having a set on hand and grabbing him if I do see him. With regards to there launch, I will probably give this a miss. Recent Tron signing didn’t create any real added value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) "NEW & EXCLUSIVE"? So we'll soon see it stacked up high at John Lewis, Asda, Hamleys, The Entertainer and Smyths! Being truly exclusive is the only hope for this monstrosity. I would love to be wrong about this set once it's officially revealed, but I feel that my 15th disappointment in a row is forthcoming. I'd be VERY worried if I was LEGO top-brass right now. Edited July 17, 2018 by TabbyBoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordoflego Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Called 3 lego stores about early access set tomorrow, and only one was able to tell me unofficially that it’s “probably” 007 car. Must be top secret. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG, they've gone and done it ;-( I really wanted the leaked picture to be wrong. Then again, the Delorean was 10% as ugly as this and did well. I suppose something has to make the other abortions released this year look good Not for me, more for the QFLLs. This is one disgusting set that I just CANNOT be stuck with! These will either all remain on the shelf or have just sold out. If they have sold out, I fear for the future of the human race as a species.

Shewie Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 £129.99. No comments needed, the most expensive and the least appealing car in the lineup. I'm just gonna sit at my Canada Water office and look from above at those dweebs queuing outside to get the 30GBP (max) worth of LBG Bricks.

Probably looking at 1400 pieces or so. Anyone with a shortage of grey cheese slopes and 1x1 tiles should be happy. I was over-optimistic. 1295 pieces.

thebrickdad Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Crazy... There are almost as many queuing as at the original opening. The set might be pants but a crazy first day demand.. 50/50 split on Families with kids and AFOLs.Mind you, the DB5 on display at the door is not the Bond one - Boring...
