Commander_Rob Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Ooh, choice of three number plates, very neat!
AdrianB2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Dang, that's gorgeous! The lighting makes it hard to tell exactly what color it is, though - is that Bright Blue or Dark Azure? It's dark azure
Kaanere Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Now we need a Kubelwagen (Thing in the US) or a buggy and we will have a family!
Sven F Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 That's a really cool design, and a huge improvement from the last one. I am not a fan of the color though if it's plain genneric blue.
ritzcrackerman Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Yummy, this looks fantastic. Quite an upgrade over the previous outing! $119.99 USD?

jonwil Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 The fender pieces aren't new, they first appeared in dark green in a Star Wars Slave-1 set in 2010. They are new in that color though :) Not interested in this set even now that I have seen the pictures. Just doesn't do it for me...
AdrianB2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Yummy, this looks fantastic. Quite an upgrade over the previous outing! $119.99 USD? I bought it together with the F40 which was nearly the same price. So i would say 99.99 USD probably. I paid a little bit higher than that because the sets are a little bit more expensive here. For example, they also had the Big Ben for 290 USD (which is 50 USD over the MSRP)

AdrianB2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) Any Disneyland Castles? Unfortunately, i did not see them It is possible, but i did not look for them. They brought in stock many exclusive sets which i have not seen for a while, like the Hellicarrier, the Palace Cinema, the Tower Bridge, the Parisian Restaurant, the Ferris Wheel, the Camper Van etc. But i did not see the Disneyland Castle. Maybe it was in the Disney section. I will look for it the next time i go to the store. Edited June 13, 2016 by AdrianB2016

AdrianB2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Please do! Could you message me which store it was and where? I am not able to send messages, i think it is because i do not have enough posts. However, it is not in the US.

Next time maybe check for the Series 16 Minifigures too - whoever put this out is probably gonna be in a lot of trouble! I just hope you aren't forced to give it back like the person who got the Series 16 minifigures Edited June 13, 2016 by CM4Sci

I do not want any TLG snipers following me :laugh:

Vorkosigan Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Looks awesome. I hope its not more than $100. I don't think I'd display it with the stuff on the roof but doesn't hurt to have some neat accessories.
promobricks Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 price tag on the beetle shows 469,99 leu (Romania) = 100 Euro
RMBP Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 The fender pieces aren't new, they first appeared in dark green in a Star Wars Slave-1 set in 2010. They are new in that color though :) Not interested in this set even now that I have seen the pictures. Just doesn't do it for me... I might be wrong, but if you are refering to 87559 (http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=87559) it doesn't seem to be the same as this one has no studs (see the instructions pic on the previous page). If it is a new piece, that will make color changes harder to do... Until Lego reuses it on another Set.
TAFOL Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 The fender pieces aren't new, they first appeared in dark green in a Star Wars Slave-1 set in 2010. They are new in that color though :) The pieces in 8097 Slave I have studs on top (source: Inventory 8097 on Bricklink) while the Beetle's fender pieces do not. I also had to check to see the difference, but I have never seen the new pieces in 10252 before. Does anyone know what other sets have the same pieces? Or is the Beetle the only one with them? It would be cool to see them in other colors than dark azure.
Commander_Rob Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 I'm pretty sure it's a new piece, can't seem to find it on Bricklink. Looks it's 5x5 studs and one brick tall, a smaller brother of sorts to 87559. I hope it'll get made in other colours, Beetle colourswaps would be awesome.
David Thomsen Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) Does anyone know what other sets this might be in scale with? When I have my cars on display I like them to be on display with sets at the same scale. By my estimation, it might scale reasonably well with the Ferrari F40? Edited June 14, 2016 by David Thomsen
LegoFjotten Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 Love it! This will probably be one of the LEGO 2016 highlights for me.
PenPlays Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) Dang it's a beauty. I mean can they really do anything? This is just a general question to everyone, can they? He just went and bought a set sold by some people. Who is gonna get in trouble? The store. What if an old lady, unknown to her, picked up this leaked set, and ended up getting sued. Imagine the negative publicity. I've seen several pallets of Lego being put out late on a Walmart shelf, and they were all labeled with bold, red street date stickers (it was well past that date, too, funnily enough ). I'm sure this set will be no different. A breach of confidential information (such as an exclusive set) would not only encourage Lego to cut ties completely with the store, but also sue them. I would say that if someone, regardless of whether they obtained the set by legal means or not, shares images of the confidential set online, then they are subject to being sued as well, as they are submitting confidential information onto the internet, not meant for the outside world.

I find this very unlikely. How can there be a law against sharing pictures of things that you own? It'll be whoever broke the embargo and sold who get in trouble. I used to work in a book store and we actually had security guards making sure no one opened the boxes of the final Harry Potter book ahead of schedule. It was insane.
