Sprocket77 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Other than the licence plate being the same, are we sure this is the same car? Thought Lego had gotten over Deloreanitis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Tabby" boy you have forgot to switch the accounts. nevertheless tabs are the most pathetic and not user friendly choice of the packaging Lego has ever invented. seals are much more convenient and easy to store. Push tabs are permanently damaging the box making the box a cat litter compatible instantly after opening. Licence is coming with the purchase online, so no point of being a part of hordes outside since the licence is not exclusive to that particular store like it was with the Bus.

lebrick Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 No way this set was from the blinking dude. He went from designing F40 and Beetles to this? This is outrageous. That's it. I am only getting 37 now. That will show Lego... Btw, now that I see more images and videos of it, it ain't that bad. Certainly, It's not F40 or Beetles but it's ok. I think the problem was the selection, not so much the design just like Technic Chiron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny you say that, I went back to verify and everyone was pretty underwhelmed with F40 when it was announced. I't not perfect but I like they were able to incorporate the gadgets. They should have just called it Spy Car and saved licensing fees. On 6/25/2015 at 2:22 AM, hannibal said: I think this is a missed opportunity.

On 6/25/2015 at 3:59 AM, fantomas007 said: I was looking forward to this set very much, but I am very disappointed. It looks like classic creator set, not exclusive expert set. Too simple, too rough, the roof and the bonnet should be more detailed. On 6/25/2015 at 8:00 AM, tractorboy said: It's ok I suppose. I think sometimes it's hard not to be a little underwhelmed with sets like this, when you see some of the amazing MOCS out there.

Looks more like a kids toy than a proper model like the Mini or Camper Van. I will wait for reviews but right now this does not excite.

On 6/25/2015 at 10:06 AM, Val-E said: Negatives: I don´t see it having great reselling potential as it is a little too much playset for the liking of the AFOL market. It will also probably have a long and well distributed life. On 6/25/2015 at 10:19 AM, Ed Mack said: Unfortunately, this set sucks. There...I said it. As cool and collectible as the T1 Camper and Mini Cooper are, this set really cheezes out. It really should be another 400-500 pieces. If you are going to redo a classic car, then do it right. Sorry LEGO, this one is a fail. On 6/25/2015 at 10:55 AM, TabbyBoy said: I must say that I'm also disappointed and won't be rushing out to buy these in any quantity.

longshot Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 WOWza............ That really is an awful design. The roof is way too thick and the rear side glass is just friggin god awful. The designers really should have taken a step back and requested some custom parts to smooth out the look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The set might be pants but a crazy first day demand.. 50/50 split on Families with kids and AFOLs. Mind you, the DB5 on display at the door is not the Bond one - Boring...
