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

[Professor Farnsworth]

Yeh I wasn’t keen on it, but it’s turned out to be my favourite!

I procrastinate
It'll sit in the box for a week or so before i open it
But excited to build it, havnt built anything in months.

[Professor Farnsworth]

Anywhere that it doesn't cost 9 million dollars?

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

[Professor Farnsworth]

I was looking to do that today, then i bought a Mini 3 Pro instead, as i clearly have problems.

You need to get out of cars and into earthmoving, they don't go fast enough or high enough to crash

Still one of my favourite builds thus far.

[DJM83]

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.

[DJM83]

First bags done.
Not bad so far, feel it makes me think a little more but that could just be me
Too early to compare to the last 3 to be honest.

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.

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!

[DJM83]

Thats a pretty good bloody deal tbh

[Professor Farnsworth]

please stop provoking me, it's not healthy

Do yourself a favour then.
Do not go to rebrickable
Set up account.
Add all the kits you have to your profile
Sit back and look at the money you've spent

Thank me later

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

Dang, missed out by 10 minutes. I'd never heard of this megastore before, I
just get mine off the Lego one. So points all cashed in now on the SP3, and
the 90th anniversary Galaxy Explorer. Always wanted that one as a kid!

I really should do that to be honest.

[DJM83]

Whats folks thoughts on these (price aside) being non genuine lego.

I reckon this would be an awesome build.

[DJM83]

Finished box one (bag sets 1/2) of the Daytona.
Not bad so far to be honest

[DJM83]

Bags 3 done.


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

Not sure if online manuals are updated, but FYI here's a couple of videos summarising several issues:
