dcdfan Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 This is supposedly coming out by the end of this year. We're getting a bit of discussions in other threads so I thought we should have a place for thoughts about this great IDEA set. @ravenb99says it will be $59.99. What do you think of this IDEA? https://ideas.lego.com/projects/87703 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Mack Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Sharp replicas. I don't really care about the car, but cool nonetheless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can a mod, please fix this to 21306 as reported by brickset and @ravenb99 Edited August 6, 2016 by dcdfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can a mod, please fix this to 21306 as reported by brickset and @ravenb99 At $59.99 the Caterham Super Seven looks like a must-buy. Also, $79.99 for Apollo 11 Saturn V seems like a very good price when you take into account that the rocket will be about 1 meter tall according to the Ideas blog. I just wonder how much they reduced the proposed basic model with a piece count of 1867 to come up with that price. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordoflego Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 $60 price on this set worries me that it will be very small i hope that it will be possible to make multiple different colors though... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, being able to change the color of this model to one's liking would be a really nice feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Having a unique hotrod for the LEGO line will make their selection more interesting simply on being something else than another Volkswagen or some other small car entry or even a more obvious popular choice. Great model for a cool car, and if the set number upon reveal is different the topic title can be fixed easily. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Briggs Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 @Lordoflego My favourite color scheme was shown in the last update to this project. Unfortunately, the color is very rare. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pomodoro Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) Well, I'm not going to make the same mistake twice and post a photo here, but there's something on Hothbricks and Reddit. It looks good, but I'm not a fan of the color. That's a day-1 buy for me and will be the first Ideas set I get. EDIT: the set is actually 21307, not 21306, you might want to edit the title.

lego rules Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Was super excited when they choose the set but now I am much less excited. It looks smaller and doesn't have the nice shape the original had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought. Also if the number is wrong, the price may be too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pomodoro Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) We should know soon enough, if I cross my eyes, it seems to read "Disponible à partir du 01/10" under the blurb (available from October 1st).

Brian Briggs Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I don't like the black-yellow color scheme at all. It's worse than all the color-combinations the creator of this project came up with. Now I'll probably pass on this Ideas set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGallows Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I was really looking forward to this set but it looks terrible compared to the original ideas submission. Really Lego? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandyHand Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Will be interesting to see if the designer of the original Ideas submission will compare the redesigned by Lego set with his own submission. A side by side review would be excellent... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorboy Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 First impressions are disappointing. It lacks all the nice details of the original, which I suspected it might. The black mudguards totally kill the look. No grills on the rims...no windscreen.... It looks more like a modern production sports buggy than a vintage classic.
