I am not that crazy. 

Oh man that is pretty,  I will build that,  hopefully early but been pretty busy of late.

I'm not sure I like the drag racing version of the car.  The big blower out the hood of this style Mustang just doesn't seem right.

First negative comment on this one and it´s not by me or Tabby.

I guess that´s why they give the option to tune it up or leave it stock. Maybe buy 2 to have one of each.

It´s certainly taken features to an all new level and I can see big crossover demand for this one, like T1.

I like the unmodded version just fine and it is nice that there is an option for people that want the drag racing look, it's just not for me.

EDIT: I really hope those 2x2 slopes with the stripe are printed.

Closer look at the bonnet.

The side stripes on the doors should also be printed as they will be hellish to line up if not.

I wonder if it really has steering or the wheels are blocked in that position? Maybe not attached to the wheel.

There is a knob at the back to raise the suspension.

This is the first Creator car set that I might buy for my personal collection. It's gorgeous!

I like the air dam and the spoiler, I see myself adding those but not the blower or side pipes.

Yeah, I think it will be a huge crossover hit for non Lego/creator fans in the US.  This might be the set that retires T1.

You have good taste and aren't some white trash hillbilly.

Lol. T1 is immortal.

Apparently we are getting two cars this year so maybe it will expire.

This .... is beautiful! Absolute Day One purchase for me! LEGO really hit the nail on the head with this model. I'll be happy to buy it from LEGO and not wait for a discount. Which is a first for me!

..and can make it "Eleanor-ish"

thank-you Lego

Anyone else notice that the box didn't have tape seals on the back? It has the push in tabs like small box sets... weird...

IIRC... didn't the F40 have push tabs also? It makes sense as these cannot be replaced/repaired if any parts are stolen.

Problem is the side that doesn´t have the tabs and most scum have access to glue and a cutter.

I do it myself for the right reasons.... I've noticed that a lot of the long Elves boxes become unstuck along the long edge after a couple of years (I should've stored them on long instead of short edge) and I simply use a cocktail stick to spread a little Gorilla glue along the gap and then seal it closed with low adhesion masking tape. I then take the masking tape off after 24hrs and voila.... an "untampered" box. I also print my own seal codes if they are peeling by using Metamark MD5 clear vinyl with a gloss laminate and then trim to size. If you're not in the trade, they aren't easy to replicate ?

There's one thing that will stop me buying this Mustang for my personal collection.... STICKERS !!!

Lego could troll us all and release the an updated T1 that looks of "a rusted shell found in back country NC" version.

It'll probably be reworked with new front windows, better wheel arches and smaller pieces to kill of all hopes of recovering money from 10220 v1 and v2. I very much doubt it'll disappear any time soon. If it does, another one of a new colour will instantly replace it.

No need. Some of my original box ones are already rusting.

learned something...thanks

I talked w/ an AFOL on a CL transaction and he went on and on about TRU and the Lego rep re-sealing the corrected Wall-E boxes...after your post, I just put two and two together...I is smart that way
