It might be 1:8 but its not in the same category as the GT3/Chiron/Sian/Daytona re build wise.
But yes i have thought about it, but F1 isnt too high on my interest/build list if that makes sense. I like big scale cars Construction. Trucks Im a simple person

It is i think the first set ive purchased on launch day so i paid RRP.
I think it'll be a battle to get it cheaper than RRP for a while. It may come up on Zavvi eventually but id say it'll take some time

Buying it at RRP via LEGO actually saves you a few hundred dollars off the eBay asking prices at the moment

Started building my Ferrari.
Sound petty. But opening the box of the last 1:8 supercars was an event in itself, all the wheels laid out in the box, parts of the car printed on the box. This one, nothing just 3 boxes full of parts printed boxes but alas not the same. Cat still needs to get involved.

So LEGO Bricks Megastore (certified store I've purchased from on a few occasions) have a promotion where you get the Ferrari SP3 and the Ferrari 488 Corse for $749.98 (basically you pay retail for the SP3, and get the 488 for $90 in lieu of it's RRP of $299).
Super duper duper duper tempted myself, will see if I can hold out the rest of the day without clicking BUY NOW. https://lego.bricksmegastore.com/pro...540d7921&_ss=r

Ok I resisted for all of 4 minutes and purchased both. Had $37.50 of VIP credits to consume on the site, so got both sets for $723.40 delivered!

And then realise you need to list your LEGO sets on your home contents insurance policy due to the value

Whats folks thoughts on these (price aside) being non genuine lego.
https://www.toybricklighting.com/col...ck-actros-4160 I reckon this would be an awesome build.

Seems its very much like the Sian/Bugatti gearbox wise. Well it feels like it anyway.

Make sure you google the correct alignment for the gearbox, there's an error in the instructions on these
