Deadfraggle 1,375 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) Is everyone who purchased the Porsche set on 01 June, and had a back order getting a GC? Edited August 5, 2016 by Deadfraggle Received my GC today as well. Best part? I missed the LEGO email, so I didn't even know this was on its way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nope, under TLG´s fair trade system, Europeans (and British) get all the crumpled US boxes and a 1:1 euro /USD price point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wolfenn 24 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 can anyone tell me what is the difference in the packaging and box from the very first series and the series in store now ? Are the boxes any different, i know the inside layout was a bit different with the first batch...? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Voltron 980 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Left is old box layout, right new Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wolfenn 24 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 and that is all that is different, the box on the outside is completely the same ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Voltron 980 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 yes box is same, they only re-arranged the inside boxes layout, as they claim it not protects the manual from squashing the boxes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wolfenn 24 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 tnx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TomOOO 11 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 There was an extra strip of cardboard to protect box2 on the right in mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
c_rpg 794 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Top Gear article about the porsche: http://www.topgear.com/car-news/insider/how-build-supercar-lego-way#1 Too bad this set is now available everywhere. So much potential... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Battrax 496 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Interesting tidbit from that Top Gear article: Quote Porsche even vetoed the inclusion of the GT3’s rearsteer Fascinating. Maybe they were concerned about LEGO giving away something proprietary about how it was implemented mechanically. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SLL 640 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 just curious, why it took so long for LEGO to restock the GT3 at SAH? Something wrong with their production line? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Something wrong with their production line? They had an issue with the packaging, the first version had too much of play between the massive book and the different boxes, it would crush them during shipping. They sold that version in stores but had to redo the internal packaging for LEGO Shop at Home. The newer version has a cardboard insert so that the book is now completely snug against the boxes, and the book is in the lower left corner an not in the center any longer. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
