Review: 8158 Speed Racer - Speed Racer vs Snake Oiler

[Tarfful]

Thanks for resizing the pics. It is strange that you didn't know about that Z-piece before. It was well used in old space sets.

The cars are pretty nice, but I think the people sit way too high in them - the windscreen gives almost no protection.

I am planning on modifying them to 7 studs wide since that's my current standard for this kind of race cars (Seriously!).

Looking forward to the next review.

You're welcome Lasse D. I did not know of them because I was too young to get any 'old' space sets. The only small space set that I can remember having is a small Insectoid ship, and I have no idea where the pieces are...

Thats what the helmets are for! :-P

Good explanation: I'm getting too old :-P

But shouldn't you be writing a review now? You have an impatient audience waiting for you :-D >:-)

I'm looking forward to see the four together. (Hint X-D )

Look 5 posts up from your last and you'll see a link to my review of 8159, if that is what your hinting at. ;-)

Link >here< if you're feeling especially lazy. :-P

If you're not I don't know what to say because I don't have any other SR sets ... yet.

It is more an issue of lack of overview than laziness.

Embarrassing. :-(

Let's just pretend this never happened and continue in that other thread. 8-|

It was a joke, I did not mean any ill will.

It's OK, we all make mistakes it happens to the best of us. ;-)

Pretending ON!

Thank you Tarfull for this review. *y* *y* I realy like this set. *wub* I to would love to collect this theme, but also fear the AU$ conversion. I have so many sets I want to get right now. Looks like they will have to wait :-D :'-( As I will be adding Speed Racer to this list. Depending on price!!
