Just read a Facebook thread from Lego regarding the Mack.

There is guy on the thread who bought a Mack this morning & has built it already!!!

It looks big.

Has no-one mentioned the new 42077 Rally Car yet (haven't spotted it in the last few pages)?

https://shop.lego.com/en-GB/Rally-Car-42077

I saw it in the Lego shop in Cologne at the weekend and it loos good - suspension, engine, opening panels etc.

Tempting at the Amazon price (~€80)

I read somewhere on PH that someone had thought it was a good built.

I think the B-model looks better.

I have a few days off until the budget for my next job is released so which of these should I build?




Or should I leave them & build the rally car that is hiding in my car boot until SWMBO goes to work in the morning?

From the teaser video posted by Lego on Facebook this morning it looks as though Lego have managed it.

They are giving nothing away regarding size, price or release date however it looks an epic kit.

Hopefully Russy will knock up another group buy!!

Could be €369 which could be £350 if Lego take the pee. Still can't believe they priced the 75201 First Order AT-ST at £55 and $40 !!!!
Looks like it has dual shocks per side on the rear. Its a W16 engine BTW.

So if it is anything like the Porsche it will have a W16 engine (corrected my earlier mistake there), a working flappy paddle gearbox, 4wd and I would imagine working movable spoilers.

Tractor. I enjoyed it so much I thought about stripping it down, and building it again, only other kit I felt that was about was the G.S. motorbike.

I normally just build, and then display them.

Claas it will be then. Guess the rally car can wait along with the bucket excavator, the Unimog & quite a few more.

The BMW bike is great build. Enjoyed building mine. Same as the Caterham. Another good build.
