42083 - Bugatti Chiron

[Vinetu]

Dark Azure and Dark Blue would be an interesting combination, I don't know, I'm not the huge fan of Medium Azure. Something about it screams 'cheap plastic' to me...

Is that Dark Azure or Medium Azure in your opinions?

Looks like 4x4 crawler and drag racer colours to me.

So, is this set gonna have the same distribution issues as Disney Castle, 911 GT3 and UCS Falcon in the first weeks?

I see some Eastern Europeans have been able to source it from local shops ahead of the street date so there should be some money to be made in the first days if supply is tight.

They won't make 3 PHH mistake again. I think supply should last the initial horde stint.

majority here and there were reporting that they were going to buy Rollercoaster but from what I've learned from store ppl set is performing - just ok.
however the trend of spending less money this season is significant comparing to the years before. probably because Solo is a total financial flop and Black Panther sets were much more popular than Infinity War ones, maybe because they were re-using majority of the minifigures again.
Lego Boost event starts today and will take place for another 3 days in London.
So the atual designer of this set will be in store to explain people why they should buy this set and try to understand why they don't.

Wow, okay each image makes me like this thing more. I really want to see the engine now, that transmission and suspension are very nice.

The actual car looks atrocious, so there was only so much Lego could do here.  Looks spot on, to be honest.

Gotta agree with you there.  They are ugly cars IMO.

This thread definitely turned for the better in the last few days. I'm sufficiently teased.

Credit to the guy who bought one in store and has uploaded all the pics to his cloud.

I just miss that they couldnt keep the packaging the same size.. why???

 

[Val-E]

Too many parts. This one has 2 manuals and 5 part boxes plus the rim box. Seems you also get an exclusive code number for content and there is a luggage bag.

Dark Azure and Dark Blue. I guess there will be a run on Technic Air Jets and Ocean Explorers to get the panels in the right colours cheaper!

That's what I believe as well for colours but is there physically verification?

[Wimmer]

Any images of the luggage bag and sticker sheet ?

Part reference numbers confirm it.

Yes, on Reddit but I think it´s best not to post too many details on here before the official reveal.
