Please, keep this off the forum. It's about Lego here.

I am terribly sorry, hope i don't get canceled for this one...

Maybe also pushes sales to the official Lego store, as far as I know only one version goes to store shelves.  Lime Lamborghini, yellow Bugatti, probably grey Jesko.

Hadn't thought of that one, though the online shop where i mostly buy here in the netherlands does offer both versions of all cars.

Well no in finland our local lego retailer verkkokauppa.com sells now the blue bolide and yellow bolide

What's wrong with being welcoming and respecting people's pronouns?

@CK28: No worries!

Forget it. Everyone wants everyone else to be as much ChatGPT/Gemini (or any other AI creatures) as possible.

Besides, you need a sarcasm font exclusive for you (no sarcasm 🤷‍♂️)

Now on to the discussion 👀

I think I am one of those few who liked the DBG one more than the white but, honestly the car is more about functions/features. That is what I am excited more about.

Well, aren't you lovely.

[pow]

I prefer the grey version but have to admit the white version looks way better, period!

@Alex Ilea, @thekoRngear guys it's not 1970 anymore!

I have just found these listed on the AU site, keen to order 1 or maybe both ;)

Just out of curiosity, if you happen to buy both the colours, will you be making a MOC? Any plans?

Looks like set is going to be a very favorite one among the MOC community.

Pow, why were you quoting me on this one alongside the other guy? 🤔I was talking directly to Maboo and no, I was not born in the 70's 🤷🏻‍♂️🙄

Well i would my self make dual color model:)

If I got the set, I would probably put suspension, opening drunk and a more realistic engine bay.

Are you really sure you want to put a drunk in this thing?

My plan is to build one and use the other for MOCing

Sounds very exciting. I am particularly interested about how your DBG/White accent turns out for that one!

I'm really happy about having multiple colors, since that means we also get a whole pallete of small panels in multiple colors - perfect for MOCing!

Looks like autocorrect knows nothing about road safety . I meant frunk.

I'm not really familiar with the way people find part inventories, is this set's inventory available yet?  I want the small white panels #7/#8 for my TC27 moc, and it'd be helpful to know which other parts I plan to use will be in it.

Maybe this could be of help, although the inventory is not yet 100% complete. Looking at the pictures i can count up to 4 of each already (2 in front, 1 in the door and 1 at the back of each)

Thanks for the link.  It's more the internals I was curious about, cause I used a lot of 7 beams with alternating holes.  Interesting that it has the 13 long gear rack hidden somewhere in it.

It is probably for door opening mechanismus; but we will be sure when fitst reviews appear

Well here is first speedbuild

[NV Lego technic]

This one has a normal box, I'm surprised... Of course that doesn't affect my opinion, the car is a massive step up from the previous ones, and the doors are easily the best aspect. It's also a great parts pack for what it is, although I probably won't get it anytime soon.

Differential gear, V8 with new parts, complex door, smooth outline.... This set is best car in this scale in my mind.

This! It blows all cars for $50 out of the water!

Looking at the video, I'm always more convinced that Lego must introduce another kind of rims+tires for these small cars. Something more modern/sporty. The shape of the car body without wheels is almost perfect, but those old wheels with "big" tyre profile are really bad looking.
