It’s so bad it looks fake, miles away from Lego’s normal standards.

[SydneyBridge]

I thought it was fake but is real apparently.

Lol - that's atrocious. I thought it was a poor version of the Cada Fiat 131 when I first caught a glimpse of it!

They often look better in the brick than on the box, but thats really doesn't look promising. I'd have thought a boxy old BMW would lend itself well to a lego version too.

Just finished Pac-Man. Made a nice difference from the usual cars/bikes. A lot of work went into the design and build of the game board itself. Really enjoyed putting this one together.

My mind went instantly to Fiat as well.

The colour scheme and alloys don't help, but it's the nose which is just wrong.

That M3 is a joke after all the really rather good Speed Champions recently. Definitely more Fiat 131, but even that is doing the Fiat a disservice.

[lufbramatt]

Could’ve looked so much better than that.

Trouble is with blocky stuff it’s the proportions and subtleties that make it look right, which they have missed completely.

[SydneyBridge]

The red one above looks really good

Agreed, much better, although to be fair its bigger than speed champions size. Perhaps the lack of stickers is making it look better too.

Even as crap as it is it’s still better looking than any real modern bmw crap

So the rocket is complete, but not without some issues, there are a number of ball/socket joints used to make the underpinnings of the main fuselage, and while they do click together, there is a certain amount of tension to them, the sloped tiles used to create the surface don t sit 100% comfortably as a result , it s not the end of the world, just an observation


after 5 bags, of 11









And Snowy doesn t get a helmet, coz dogs can breath in space, apparently

I really wanted to like this set as love Tintin but there is something in my mind that just doesn't sit right with it.

I suspect this won’t ever be available from Lego, they don’t do war machines.

That's very cool. The USS Iowa docked in Portsmouth when I was a kid and my dad took me out of school one afternoon to go and see it. You could even go on board for a look around. I can't imagine they'd allow that sort of thing now.
