I haven't really ever posted to vote for a LEGO Ideas project, but I would like to see this one happen. Jaws is my favorite movie and I watch it fanatically. I have seen a few up for submission over time, but this one seems like it may have a chance to get put up for consideration. Personally I would love to see a bigger version with even more detail, but this is fun. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/390cf845-d64c-44fd-844b-b30fd42d5f12

The pictures you've posted show that you are wrong. The real vehicles clearly do not match the Lego models. Shapes, headlights, paint schemes, crane winch position, etc. All different. The F1 car looks like a generic representation of an F1 car from about 2010-2013. F1 cars (and LMP1) are designed within narrow regulatory constraints, so of course they look similar. All F1 cars from different manufacturers, using wholly unique chassis and engines, still look similar because of that. However, the Lego model clearly is not of any Ferrari F1 car (or any specific car at all). The colour scheme is obviously different, aero parts are not replicated, and the model looks no more like a Ferrari than any of the other manufacturers on the grid at that time. The 2010 Ferrari F1 car: The 2012 McLaren F1 car: The Lego model: The model is clearly no more similar to one or the other, and it clearly is not attempting to appear exactly like either. By contrast, here is the Ferrari 488 Pista: And here is the Cada model: It almost couldn't be more blatant. The fact that they've removed the Ferrari badges is even more incriminating, because it makes it completely obvious that they have not paid Ferrari to use their intellectual property.

Ok I'm going on a tangent but here's this story for laughs. https://nextshark.com/fake-porsche-man-dumped-china/

Just putting this out there.

This is why I think you're just trolling the forum. I cannot believe that anybody could be this obtuse. Are you honestly saying that you don't understand the difference between a brand and a type of object? Do you think that a can of Heineken is equivalent to an Amstel because they're both beer? Do you think that an Audi is equivalent to a BMW because they are both cars? The point is not that the Cada set looks like a car. The point is that it clearly IS an unlicensed representation of a specific automobile - The Ferrari 488 Pista. You have been asked to show which specific brand of vehicle the Lego examples represent, and you have failed to do so, either because you don't understand or are deliberately arguing in bad faith.

One other thing, I’m definitely NOT a fan of Cobi minifigures!!!

Shockingly, those criminals in Australia actually do things like hear trademark and design challenges and even more shockingly rule in favor of Ferrari, who's 488 Spider design is unique even compared to its previous 488 models. https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=bd7018b8-6b44-457a-8340-30eaf8baca10

It's going to the moon, that's what's happening! In all seriousness...no effin clue.

This is truly absurd. Of course the design is protected. No matter how many times you may repeat these brainless claims, they continue to be wrong. Why the hell do you think bogus bricks from China got banned if all anybody needs to do is switch logos to be in the clear? I don't need to link you a damn thing; you are the one making outlandish claims. Plenty of evidence exists of knock-off car brands (like Land Wind) being shut down due to trademark infringement.

"She reportedly became so enamored with the man, and his car, that it did not take long for them to become a couple. In fact, in the two weeks that they were together, they consummated their mutual affection 17 times." TMI !!! How did you get to this number?

From reading Twitter and TV segment on $cciv / Lucid Motors, I think this SPAC is a great history lesson for traders of future SPACs. Many retail investors learned the hard way about not taking profits (or at least trimming), how SPACs work merger-wise, what happens when they be target (non-blank) company causes such high demand, and how evaluations & PIPEs influence stock price post-announcement. anyway, I slipped late last week on ice while walking the wife to the car (luckily, no internal hemorrhage) & now finally getting back to normal so trying not to type much. Good luck fellas. This week is def a test for the market.

Utter nonsense. If you are claiming that you can't see the conceptual difference between 'a sports car' and 'a Ferrari 488' then I can't believe that you're arguing in good faith. The Lego models are unquestionably not representative of specific vehicles / marques. The Cada model unquestionably is. Thought experiment for you. If a car manufacturer decided - in Europe - to release a car that was visually identical to a Ferrari in every way, but with different badges on it, what do you think would happen? Now imagine the same company instead decided to release their own design of car, visually and functionally unrelated but bound by the same definition of 'car'. I'll answer for him: no, he can't.

no

Or who bought those .15 $100 calls? Poised to make 300x return if it opens at current levels. Nuts nuts nuts!

They can easily swap the colors of 31088... The boat is still going to be smaller though

Can anyone explain WTF is happening with GME ???

I heard the new show is going to be rated hard R / MA, like GoT. I doubt there will be LEGO sets associated with that new show

This is what Iron Maidens Eddie would look like if they drew him as a piranha.

I'm holding out for one of the cheap Jaws knock offs.

Yikes, glad your ok. Our drive way looks like a skating rink right now.

I had honestly forgotten that the UCS Obi Wan Starfighter even existed.

I don't think you understand how backlash works. People are generally loyal to a fault - I doubt that your perception of the level of rage in Germany is even close to being accurate (as it would defy human nature).

Not to be argumentative but Zavvi is actually $10 below msrp. Not a huge difference but I'll take it.

I acknowledge that you believe there are problems that exist - I am not concerned.

So don't invest in LEGO if you are living with so much fear.

I see what looks like a generic Grand Prix race car. I don’t see a specific, copywriter design. And in a typical argument, if you are going to make claims, you need to provide proof. So, if you want to say that the Grand Prix racer YOU are claiming is a design that it stolen, then the burden to prove that lies on you. If you’re going to make the claim that all those images are stolen, then show us that they are. Justify why they are stolen, just as we have done in the opposite.

Zavvi has the Hidden Side High School at RRP - Link

With regards to Cobi, I think Lego may have inflicted this problem on themselves. The reality is whilst I think Lego is on another level to all these other brands, it has given up to other companies like Cobi the avenue to makes simplistic brick built models of war for kids and lets be fair who didn’t play with a model fighter plane, tank or warship when they were little kids? Cobi appears to be average in design with reasonable quality bricks at fair value but possibly only has one direction albeit one that has undeniable interest. Maybe Lego need to retract their double standard they have for war and weaponry because it’s a gap in their armour that someone will exploit. Now I realise this comment may be unpopular and I’m not taking anyone’s side, I’m just putting out fair balanced comment.

Here is a moc making use out of the new Vidiyo case.

I liked the theme. A lot of people did not. The sets were a little overpriced for the time and largely consisted of walls rather than complete structures. Tower of Orthanc being the exception (though I like the Weathertop and Mines of Moria sets). I think the theme might do slightly better today as there are more AFOLs than six years ago. Aside from an Ideas set I don’t see it happening though. I think I remember Lego agreeing to the IP because of The Hobbit movies at the time. Those sets are even worse as far as being somewhat bland.

seems to be some voices calling for a return of this series The sets both Hobbit and LotR have been on fire...latest Ideas set getting hype is the Map of Middle Earth https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=https://www.stonewars.de/&prev=search There's even a new streaming series set as a Prequel to LotR https://www.cnet.com/news/lord-of-the-rings-amazon-series-cast-release-date-rumors-news/ I, personally, would love for the series to come back to LEGO since I missed out on them.

Since this discussion has happened in two different places already, we're not going to keep rehashing it. The link at the start of this thread appears in the Alternate Brands thread.

I'm still holding out hope that this GWP will appear for North America. Double stack with March promos!

So I begrudgingly added a spoon of peanut butter to some regular oatmeal today. Tasted great. You win this round.

Got my two GWP's, box looks good but prone to scuffing at the sides.

https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=https://www.stonewars.de/&prev=search There's already an UCS AT-ST...looks nice; no need for another one An UCS AT-AT is solely missed in the UCS line and has been speculated in the above Stonewars linked article as the $799.99 SW set. While we're at it, the Bad Batch shuttle for $99.99 seems to be a winner...really stoked for the forthcoming animated series...concept-wise it's an awesome way to tell the timeline story just following Order 66.

*sigh* Of course you're right. I want to laugh but I really am sad. I would love a brick-built great white to go with that set.

Nah, LEGO will just make the boat much smaller
