HandyHand Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Now THIS is interesting news! Highlighted the "motorized" by me. They might have done the same thing in this set like with the upcoming motorized Batmobile (76112) set. That would also explain the elevated price point... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don´t want to rain on your parade but I think they mean motorised as in has an engine and not PF. Will be pleasantly suprised if it does have PF.

That would not warrant special mentioning this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneknightr Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Oh man, this announcement hurts. It reminds me of 9398 (4x4 crawler) that I can't even sell for RRP. Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedingman5 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 That winking emoji curdles my blood. Such a weasly, marketing tactic that buys them so much wiggle room... ...ooh, look, the wheels don't just look good...they rotate!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donbee Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Pretty ugly...yet if it does have some cool 007 functions, might be a sleeper.I liked it, until I googled what the car actually looked like. I was blissful in my ignorance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care if this thing can backflip. It's ugly, plain and simple. If Lego truly took functionality over design, they lost my money. Others will disagree, but that's my take. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheese Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I’m surprised that Aston Martin would associate their name with such junk!Maybe it’s because today’s Aston Martin’s are junk and always breaking down. Really poor build quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathew Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 You guys are overreacting over one picture. Wait until the official reveal and seeing the actual set in person. Personally I think the Porche 911 and Bugatti look butt-ugly. At least this is similar to the VW Camper etc. in that it's brick built and not a Technic mess with gaps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is that many corporations do read the fan forums to get ideas and feedback. I know it started years ago with video game companies and designers. It might not be the CEO reading stuff, but LEGO and other corporations have people reading fan forums. This is fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if they've read for any length of time here, then they'll surely be aware that they can safely ignore Tabby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
