Either Martini racing look or green would have been a better choice. But white is ok. Having a closer look at the picture and comparing it to some of the many 911 mocs I am not 100% sure about the shape. Let's wait for some more pictures especially of the rear which is the tricky part to replicate with Lego. Quote
MSnow Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Vor 4 Stunden sagte TheDeeGee: Ich habe keinen Platz mehr in meiner Vitrine, verdammt! Dies muss ein Platz sein, der für das Jahr 1989 bestimmt ist. Hi TheDeeGee, Ikea 10 Euro und 80 cm freie Fläche an der Wand und schon ist dein Platz Problem gelöst. ? Den 911 muß ich mir natürlich auch gönnen. Edited January 6, 2021 by MSnow Rechtschreibung Quote
Vilhelm22 Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Just saw a leak on insta from Promobricks. €140 1458 pieces Opening doors, bonnet and boot as usual. And most importantly, you can apparently build the Turbo or Targa versions from the set, which is a nice bonus. It also says ‘Vehicle Collection’, which I like, though I can’t spot it on the box myself, though it is a poor image. Edited January 6, 2021 by Vilhelm22 Quote

Well, there's never been a Creator Expert Porsche. The 911 is also much more iconic than any Rolls-Royce. Quote

JintaiZ Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) Considering the level of detail the set has, $149.99 doesn't seem like a steep price anymore. 10265 seemed like the best Creator Expert vehicle but this is even better! Edited January 28, 2021 by JintaiZ Quote
Polarlicht Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Looks great! Day one buy!!!! (also because the resellers will get their hands on the GWP Porsche goodies asap) Great to get the extra rims in black and glass pieces! Front indicator looks like an trans-orange recolor of the Fiat side window bow-brick thingy... Quote
Polarlicht Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 I think i will build the Targa, but with turbo engine, spoiler and wide rear fenders, maybe switch the black wheels around and have a deeper look. And with the japanese plate it will look amazing. And just prints is just great! Quote
Vilhelm22 Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Wanted to post about this earlier but had technical difficulties.... Very impressed and the Turbo/Targa planning is brilliant. I also love the dark orange leather choice - I’ve always liked cars with that colour leather. It will look excellent next to the others! Quote
brickphisto Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Looks much better than the leaked image suggested. All in all a very nice model. But it could and should have been more faithful to the original: 1. The mudguards, especially the rear mudguards are much too high. 2. The headlights are too big. 3. The windscreen and a-pillars look a little off. 4. The rear lights sit much too high. 5. The roofline and the c-pillars are too flat. If Lego created a 1x8 mudguard as a new piece most of these inaccuracies could have been avoided. There would have been no need for that weird new curved slope and a 1x8 mudguard could have been easily used for new cars at the same scale. I will still buy it as it looks nice. But it could have been better. Quote
R0Sch Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) Notice the prototypes all had 2x2 headlamps which look more accurate imo. The 3x3 dish is way too big. Dark red would have been a good color choice as well... anything besides yellowing white is in fact a good color for a display model. Edited January 28, 2021 by R0Sch Quote
blondasek Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 I am only worried about the white consistency, specially of the new parts in relation to the older one. I really hope that they did not f it up. But I have feeling, that.. Customer Support, here I come! Quote
R0Sch Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 @legophisto Markus, are you copy-pasting this to every fan blog and forum now? Quote
brickphisto Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 @R0Sch I thought blogs and forums are meant to be places of discussion and sharing your thoughts. Please correct me if I am wrong. Quote
koalayummies Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Most excellent teamwork Mike, Carl and Yoel! Quote
BrickWild Posted January 29, 2021 Author Posted January 29, 2021 Those black racing rims would look better on 10265 Ford Mustang! Quote
Void_S Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 The 9th one, if I got the designers correctly. Quote

I'll be honest, I'm a bit disappointed that it doesn't say 'vehicle collection' or 'car collection' on it. I like that sort of thing in the new 18+ branding - and we've got 'botanical' - 'modular buildings' - why not this too? Edited January 29, 2021 by Vilhelm22 Quote
BrickWild Posted January 29, 2021 Author Posted January 29, 2021 The Brick Depot has got a time-lapse build! And a hands-on review too! Quote
MartyMcFly Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 I hope that if ever Lego makes a DeLorean, they will go with a 2-in-1 design. One, a regular DeLorean, and the other, a Time-Travelling BTTF DeLorean. My 10262 Aston is currently a Porsche, thanks to instructions on rebrickable. Very good one, not too dissimilar. But I will still get this, and rebuild the Aston. Quote

Polarlicht Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 So how is the switchover to the other version? Do you build one version and if you want the other one you have to disassemble a lot, or is it like with the Mustang where you have tons of extra parts to build the other versions roof and different axle and such without disassembling anything and to switch it back and forth???
