I've spent the past few days building the new Technic Ferrari for Brick Fanatics. Review went up this morning. It gorgeous, but a mindscrambler to build. It's such a sleek looking model (to match the sleek looking real Ferrari itself...). I was so used to seemingly all Technic sets being blocky, wire-y, industrial, complex-looking etc growing up.

Yeah, I'm still not really a fan of Technic but the cars do look good.

I am not the biggest fan of lego, so I kind of treat it as more of a model and, yeah, its *really* sweet. Everything seems scale and fully detailed. I forgot to flip the front trunk where there is a hoverboard and plutonium case.
Like if you are a few feet away from it, you wouldnt necessarily know its lego. You build until the last bag and then the manual gives you a choose your own adventure of which version to build. I did BTTF1 at first, which comes with the lightning rod but you cant beat a mr fusion, so I stripped it and went with the BTTF 2 build.

It's a thing of beauty. Those minifigs are the wrong scale for the car though

Just started the first couple of steps for the backdrop of the Starry Night build. I can see this is going to be painful! Only another 60 odd steps of layering various shades of blue thin plates...

Mighty Bowser Lego set due for October. Looks impressive but was kinda hoping for a SNES model.

Pricing seems a bit high on that.

That lighthouse is gorgeous. But as you say, so expensive. I think I'll be waiting for the inevitable "alternative blocks tribute", which haven't let me down.

Though I will be buying the The Office Lego when it comes out. It's annoying it can't be preordered in Ireland.

That lighthouse is pretty sweet, you'd think they'd have done a retake after the careless bloke in the video snags the window on the light at 16s in.

I fear Lego is about to price themselves right out of being top toy maker and back into their 90’s doldrums. $300 for 2,000 pieces?

What's an alternative blocks tribute? Is that like that Chinese knock off stuff?

They always seem to look good in images. So no issues with bricks clicking or holding together?

Nope none, everything went together well and feels solid in the hand.
My only issue was that the bricks were divided differently in the bags than it says they were in the instructions.

Legoland today, had a lot of fun. Had a good mooch round the shop too...so very tempted by the Tallneck (three boxes on the shelf) and even knowing they are hard to get I fucking passed on buying it. I bloody hope they do come back into stock online (in the back of my mind I had VIP points niggling at me for buying online).

It's been a while since this thread was posted in!
Got the Lego Office set, and the castaway island set that was free with qualifying purchases.
Can't wait to get started, on the third rewatch of the show, currently season 8.
I hope they eventually release an expansion to complete the whole floorplan

Only the speed champions db5 for me from my brother, but did spend last night building the creator pirate ship with my pirate mad daughter.
Really great build, especially how they do all the off-stud and curved stuff. Also like that everything is built from bricks, no fabric or flimsy sails

That sounds good, like the look of the pirate ship.
The next set I'll get will either be the Lego Castle 31120, or an alternative brand clone of the Lego Sanctum Sanctorum

That looks great! Couldn't afford a second though. If it's in the sales I might pick it up. I got the bard minifigure from the series 22 to be another resident of the castle. Series 24 releases on 1 January and has a female knight so will try to get that.
