$20 on joe vs dan Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 5 hours ago, TabbyBoy said: I do it myself for the right reasons.... I've noticed that a lot of the long Elves boxes become unstuck along the long edge after a couple of years (I should've stored them on long instead of short edge) and I simply use a cocktail stick to spread a little Gorilla glue along the gap and then seal it closed with low adhesion masking tape. I then take the masking tape off after 24hrs and voila.... an "untampered" box. I also print my own seal codes if they are peeling by using Metamark MD5 clear vinyl with a gloss laminate and then trim to size. If you're not in the trade, they aren't easy to replicate ? There's one thing that will stop me buying this Mustang for my personal collection.... STICKERS !!! can you (have you) made MOC sticker sets for popular sets? for Speed Champions (other car series) this would be especially helpful for key elements like headlights...been hunting for some of the older Lambo and Ferraris and the stick condition is a huge factor.

It makes sense as these cannot be replaced/repaired if any parts are stolen. Check out the hilarious unboxing and how the guy solves the tab issue! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people buying them are reviewers or collectors that like to have things first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortbus311 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 So psyched for this! Agreed with tabby at rrp maybe try and get it with 2xvip and/or a nice promo(s) Not sure what the release date is, hopefully it is in the first week of March so we can get SH bricktober set freebie with it.Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Brickpicker Forum mobile app 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Main point to note is the lack of stickers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BricksBrotha Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 This is a screen shot from the vid @JONNYBEGOOD posted above. Pretty small sheet considering the size of the model. All of it, the steering, seat adjustment, floor shifter, street kit, love the tire size, rear suspension, trunk hood and doors all function, this is a dangerous precendent if setting a new standard. Just take my $ already, you win this round Lego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) It seems like there's a price hike so it HAS to be good, right? Edited February 20, 2019 by TabbyBoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

$20 on joe vs dan Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 What's the reasonable best case scenario? 2xVIP and a gift w/ purchase and/ or 20% off on Amazon But an outside chance of it becoming scarce out of the gate...which reminds me that darn Speed champions dodge set is still hard to find... I would love to buy 2 using VIP exclusive early sale. The dodge set disappearing from shelves within its first month has me spooked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villager Chris Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 In the UK SAH have become a lot tighter with their discounts for larger sets. 2 x VIP and and/or free promo will probably be the best opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always John Lewis & Smyths who should eventually take 15-25% off. Assuming the set is as unexclusive as most are these days. I admit, SaH came good earlier as all 5 of my Speed Champions orders came with a pig. Oh... swapped a pig for a Chinese Takeaway last night worth about £30 ?

Just as well there is TRU, Amazon, Galería, Smyths, Target etc etc, who don´t mind lowering the price once the three month SAH window is over.

I wasn't sharp enough with Detective's Office and Brick Bank at JLP when they knocked 20% or so off in early November - only available for a couple of hours. A few days later they had gone as well from SAH. My only SAH Detective's Office order was cancelled shortly afterwards. I did get a Brick Bank - just the one. Sometimes we wait for a better price that never materialises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandyHand Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Officially announced by LEGO. Apparently the Dutch price will be €139,99 which is less than the (at least) €150 rumours that were going around.
