LvdH Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 Seems a tad weird to release something on May 16th and reveal it on June 1st Quote

Maybe the 16 May release date is for some other exclusive set, not 42083. The sign at the Genava auto show said that it will be available at Lego shops in May. Quote

Hopefully (for me) the reveal will be on the date stated on the LEGO Website. We will be in The LEGO House and I can't think of a better place to unveil (literally) such a nice model. Quote
Shiva Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 Jim, I'll keep the thumbs up that they show it there at that date, when you are there. Quote

Usually comes out in August the creator expert cars but who knows at this point. I'm still speculating it's the Bugatti just because the Geneva sign said May..that's a pretty big error if it is one. I still think June it will be available via Lego Store and August to everyone else. Quote
valenciaeric Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 As no one has firm confirmation the second May set is Bugatti and Lego are making such a fuss about 1st June reveal, I am moving towards the idea that 16th May will be something completely different. It could be the Ninjago Dockyard, the next Ideas set or maybe even some complete surprise. No leaks of Bugatti yet would also support that it hasn´t reached brand stores. Quote
Jim Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 Of course it is something different. The LEGO website clearly shows the countdown timer for the Bugatti. Couldn’t be more clear than that. So they showed May in Geneva? Well, they probably moved it one day and made it June, big deal Quote

It's probably Ninjago Dockyard or Voltron then. Quote

Jim Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 Let's take a rest for a day or two. If there's tangible info of useful content, send me a PM Quote
Jim Posted May 8, 2018 Posted May 8, 2018 Exciting news guys!! I will be live at the unveiling of the Chiron in Billund on the 1st of June. Even more exciting; I will meet the LEGO designers and real-life car designers, and we get to ask questions. Soopadoopa exciting; there will be a copy for me to bring back home. Quote
Jim Posted May 8, 2018 Posted May 8, 2018 I am not really sure how many questions each Fan Media will be able to ask, but I suggest we compile a list of potential questions. Quote
AVCampos Posted May 8, 2018 Posted May 8, 2018 It would be nice to know details about the design and the choices made towards it, but knowing nothing about the model besides its rims makes that a bit hard... Quote

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. I got this message ...we hope you’ll use that copy offered to your RLFM to build a shortlist of technical questions for both LEGO designers and real-life supercar designers as you’ll meet both here in Billund. Which kinda implies that we will receive the set and have some time to come up with the questions. I'd rather come up with potential questions beforehand. Quote
Bartybum Posted May 8, 2018 Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) Nothing really pops into mind other than: 1. What was the most challenging part to design (both functional and aesthetic parts)? (Lego designers) 2. What was the most fun part to design? (Lego designers) 3. How did you get into the design industry? (both Lego and Bugatti designers) 4. What do you enjoy about your work? (both Lego & Bugatti designers) You could also ask how much input was there from the Bugatti designers for the Lego model, although I’m pretty sure the answer for that will be “heaps” As for specific questions, I’d like to know whether they tested the build with other colour combinations before settling on what we’re getting.

LucyCol Posted May 8, 2018 Posted May 8, 2018 I'd be interested to see if we get new panels to to cope with the large curve behind the door, after all they did introduce a new panel with the Porsche to do the wings? Quote
AVCampos Posted May 8, 2018 Posted May 8, 2018 I wonder how ugly would the Chiron turn out if those exact same panels were used, vertically, for those areas behind the doors? Quote
