CM4Sci Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) Didn't expect this news to hit so soon... Sounds like they've seen it. Hey wait, shouldn't it be revealed soon? Usually a D2C is 2 months before, then released mid next month for VIPs, and then released on the first of the 2nd month?

HandyHand Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Supposedly VIP early access from 17 July, with full release by August 1st. So an official announcement should come really soon... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huskers1236 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 That's the main offender. There was a MOC Haunted House that was out before that set was introduced as well and was strikingly similar to the Monster Fighters version. Surely others I'm forgetting off top of my head. I get that there will be MOC's that are similar to official Lego sets, but the GBHQ was a rip off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the GBHQ was so far beyond dispute (they even brought the poor guy in, to copy examine his set even better) - and then they had the nerve to send him a free set. My sense of anger over that behavior will never pass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shewie Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I'd rather give Super Meh title if it's going to look close to this one on Ideas web page, probably another future shelf warmer, especially for this price point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree with your Super Meh award unless you honestly believe that Lego can go from concept phase, to design, to 3-D model, to redesign, to brick model, to packaging, to production, quality control, back to production, and finally packaging and distribution in 3 months or less. That would make them the most innovative and fastest company of this magnitude in the world (doesn't sound like the Lego I know considering their website sucks). It is more likely that Lego worked on the mini model and the larger model at the same time similar to the new beetle. My wife and I are excited to buy this, if it looks nice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris_1973 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I'm hoping this will be a good looking set. We are Anglophiles so anything in this family is desired... now if we could only get a minifig similar to Lester! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 It probably means that the T1 ain't going anywhere ;-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 It will be a cool set but no chance it will be to scale with the T1/Mini/Beetle. It would be huge. Had I known this was coming down the pipe I wouldn't have sold all my mini buses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
