I actually contacted him yesterday when I was trying to figure out bronco set situation...

I don't really want someone handling my set for 30 days.

Walmart will only handle your package for 1 day. Hopefully soft fondling is involved. My package needs to be pampered.

Good interview with Chris Stam lead Speed Champions designer for at least the last 3 years. He also did some of the original 2015 models like the Ford Raptor. Sticker talk is towards the end.

I don't care that its not labeled a SC set, but the 1966 Batmobile is 8-wide and so is the new Batmobile 76181. I will be displaying those amongst my other SC sets.

76173 is a 6 stud wide and comes with all the pieces necessary to convert it from a comic set to a SC set. I will have to checkout the two batmobiles.

76173 is a very similar build to the 70's charger from 75893.  I still have yet to buy a 8-wide SC set. 

 

Speaking of 8-wide, I noticed in the 3rd round of AFOL crowdfunding there is a beastie looking 8-wide with the 50's diner.  Lots of NPU going on.

Jang just uploaded a review and towards the end he lines up a 6 and 8 wide SC charger/Challenger and the 76181. If it goes 40% off BF I will grab one thanks. 

I have the Arctic Roller and the Joker Low-Rider that are 6/8 stud wide respectively, but they are much longer than the SC well except for the new Dodge Dragster

Great comparison, and i will allude it to Bruce Wayne being Bruce Wayne and making his Batmobile badass and modified to al heck. In my universe, its the same and glad they don.t look too bad next to one another.

That said, the 1966 Batmobile is looooooong, and I wish they Included Robin, but it is a really nice set with functional storage.

Looks like I’m late but Santa can pull anything off. I’d like some jaguars at a discount. I’m gonna keep Xmas tree for free more days in hopes I get some…

2022 they fixed the headlights by creating a new element! Also looks like other new firsts multi-colored rims and side curved windshields.
