Dragunov2 Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 Well, how do officialy sets get leaked so soon and even already in the open? Quote

Okay I see, I thought those first images came from the LEGO website then we're removed later. So they leaked them? Also thought this other guy actually bought the set so that is okay just happened to get it early. I know I have seen plenty of reviews before sets are widely available. I guess I am just confused about what is okay. Edited February 17, 2019 by Johnny1360 Added some stuff Quote
BrickWild Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 For those who are curious, here's the rear axle mechanism! Quote
Dragunov2 Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 Nice mechanism and steering is just some Technic way of doing it! Quote

As for me, the best of Model Team spirit comes back. If there was some suspension (I believe it's easy to replace the rear variable ride height assembly with shock absorbers and use some torsion technic for the front A-liftarms) it would beat even some very Technic models. Also, I still can't believe that the wheels are new. I would bet that they are just the well-known rims with "muscle car-style" inserts, like it was for Ferrari F40. Well done, TLG!

Dragunov2 Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 So it seems TLG can still make great models afterall ;) Quote
KevinMD Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 Have we seen details on the front end (for steering purposes)? I’m curious if it will be HOG, or modable to HOG at least. the only question remaining is how many I buy! Quote

When the car is raised, the full weight of the rear-end will be acting on a single tooth of the 8t gear (which is connected to the worm gear). Accidentally putting weight on the car while playing may damage the 8t gear. I hope my assessment is wrong. Quote
Johnny1360 Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 Are you sure about that, it looks like to me the weight will be on the 2 L white lift arms, the gears just being the mechanism that flips them over. Being only two positions, one being normal ride height and the other jacked up. Quote

Accidentally putting weight on the car while playing may damage the 8t gear. I hope my assessment is wrong. If you set 2 L white lift arms in vertical position, then 8t gear is pretty much safe. But if you set 2 L white lift arms horizontally then yes, the weight will be on one tooth of 8t gear. Quote
incognito Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) Promobricks has a detailed review (in German, but with many pictures) https://www.promobricks.de/lego-10265-creator-expert-ford-mustang-gt-review/76380 PS: i wonder why there's a 2 in the P51AK2 Numberplate. His name is Psiaki ;) Edited February 19, 2019 by incognito Quote
Seasider Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 Sorry to ask this if it's already known but as we're now seeing reviews do we know when this is available in the UK? Is it 1st March ? Quote

Johnny1360 Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) Really glad to see new rims with this set instead of just inserts. Also like the new 2x11 slope and all the rest of the new recolors. I feel the need to own multiple copies now dang nab it. One for each of the models and one just for parts.
