Some sets end up being really cool, but others you can definitely tell they relied heavily on the box art. I wouldn't call it false advertising. It would be like going to McDonalds and expecting to get the burger pictured in the menu. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However, speaking of lights... those are cheap, they should have included that in the list of optional upgrades you can purchase. The motor only takes up one of the ports on the hub, there's still an open port for lights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would have expected people to be more critical to things like this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_advertising#Misleading_illustrations Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I never thought there was a light inside. You can easily accomplish the same affect by aiming lighting in strategic ways. That's not "false" advertising, that's just called advertising. False advertising would be saying it's over 1200 pieces but they're actually nanoblocks. Also, as someone else mentioned, there is a second port on the hub so you could always add lights. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To me it looks like strong light from outside going in, consistent with the brighter top left corner of the cart Quote Link to post Share on other sites
firstofminifigs 121 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I noticed the Subaru "gear" webstore had non-Lego building block sets of some of their most recent vehicle models. They actually looked pretty good too. Seems like Lego is realizing they're missing out on opportunities to capitalize on those partnerships. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elmaslıefendi 434 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Now available for EU. GWP not showing yet. Lambo GWP has a higher min. purchase than the train itself. Edit: Lambo GWP issue fixed. Edited June 30, 2020 by elmaslıefendi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iahawks550 1,840 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Wrong forum, but since I'm here, not a huge fan of this set. But, I'm sure it will be good for investment one day. Edited June 30, 2020 by iahawks550 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
