F1 Helmet. I don’t know anything about F1 but bought this helmet at full price $89 with 15% CB from Rak to experience what was supposed to be the best building experience that Lego has to offer and it did not disappoint with the exception of a few issues. This set is so over engineered and has almost 100 pieces more than the next two F1 helmets coming out that are the exact same size and cost the same. The printed elements are next level and even the few stickers look great, pro tip wear gloves when applying the visor brow to avoid fingerprints on the seperatly packaged element. Side note I am not a fan of the paper bags especially the small ones. I was missing a piece that was swapped with a wrong element and had seen this issue in other reviews. Luckily I had one in the Wall E hand that I could use. Imagine if you were a F1 fan and wanted to give Lego a try this would have been an issue as you would have been unable to continue until the replacement arrives. Some of the 5 star reviews on Lego have pictures and their builds look janky. This set uses a lot of clips to attach sub builds and getting them aligned perfectly can be tricky as you can not see the attachment points. There are a few fiddly parts but overall the set is very sturdy. This is definitely an advanced build. The only other negative is why does the Hamilton minifigure not have its own helmet. I guess I will have to borrow a red one from a Speed Champions set. This set looks absolutely amazing in person and is truly a next level display piece. Hopefully it goes on sale but even so it will still be pricey Build 9 Display 10 Play 2 Value 4

I have finally been able to get the "Sticky Post" feature back on this newer version of the forum. Most plugins/apps broken when they moved to v5.x. Anyhow, I have done some updates to your friend Max Profit. Some love him, some hate him, but there will be a lot less noise, but still enough to notify you if you are interested in deals out there. All deals will be posted and just stuck to the top of the thread. When you go page to page, it will go directly to the posts, you won't have to scroll past the deals. If you want to look at the deals then just go to the top of any page in the thread. A new summary post will still be posted and will give a quick idea of any big deals and it will link to the list of deals. It cleans up its previous message so the forum will not be spammed to deal with Max Profit posts. Basically there will just be two in total moving forward. I am open to feedback, let me know.
