crayxlp Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I believe that with so many released pictures it just deserves its own thread. and after all - its a RED Ferrari in all its glory.. ..

Val-E Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I don´t think too many people will complain about the bigger cars after seeing this. The 2020 models kick the older CITY scale ones out of the park. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crayxlp Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) Exactly.. I have the very same feeling.. those insisting on keeping up with 6-studs chassis will sooner or later realize that its absolutely normal in other spheres of modelling industry (such as 1:xx car models or plastic models of everything and anything) that there are always various scales 1:16.. 1:25 etc.. This thing is a pure beauty.. lets hope that LEGO does not overflood the market that it ends up for 8 bucks in the trash corner of Walmart.

crayxlp Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 Im not sure.. if that "trash bin scenario" happened I would gather that it was a total looser - thus not giving much confidence in later earnings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo Cray, just because I currently prefer the 6stud over the 8, does not mean i live in an alternate reality. In fact, my preferences and choices are my reality, making your reality an alternate one. I do not disregard common sense or facts. I am a speed champion fanatic however and nothing of the 8 wides have convinced me to change over. The lambo does deserve a wider stance, so the 8 wide actually serves the huracan set well. The the 60's fastback in 6 wide is appropriate next to the Huracan, so maybe a mix would be good, based on the actual scale between the cars within the SC line. So maybe the 8wide could have a place in my heart, its just when a company decides to white wash a product, one has to be skeptical for the reasons. The claim for more detail also comes with more pieces, so it would appear to be a finacial one in this case. Also, i would have hoped for more detail on this wonderfully curved supercar. The square angles completely make this a miss for me. Box art is top notch, per usual.

crayxlp Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) I understand the reservations some can have against this - were it released under Technic brand - what your take would be?
