Nice :thumbup:

Why fill in the wheel wells, though?

Because there's full Skyline suspension behind them.

I'm building this set from my collection and 3d printing the new parts I don't have. Here's some observations while building:

The seat inside is TERRIBLE. It's the worst seat I've ever come across in a lego vehicle. It's not symmetrical, and its reclined so far back you could fall asleep in it, if it wasn't tilted in such a way that you would always fall out!

Front suspension is pretty bad, the shocks are mounted in such a way that they want to buckle while compressing, not great! Also, a lot of half stud thick liftarms are used which I personally don't like, it feels kinda flimsy...

The 3x3 liftarm block thing on the rear wing can easily be replaced by a (slightly weaker) smoother looking assembly.

Personal gripe: this set uses many system parts, I hate it.

Biig gap in the hood, its glaringly obvious from some angles.

If you can look past the varying part textures due to 3d printed parts and missing headlights (I have ordered them but I'm impatient) I think it looks pretty decent.

The bad:

Terrible seat so bad I fixed it before moving on with the build. Disappointing reliance on system parts, too many gears in the steering system, rear suspension too soft, rear wing being "adjustable" is just lazy design not fixing it in place. Also, there were two weird gaps in the roof?? I filled them in with 1m beams, but it just seems lazy. I don't think the real car would have big holes in the roof...

The good:

Overall it looks pretty good, having a the drift function is nice. The 57585 part usage to get the angle of the rear wing is nice. The working steering wheel at this scale is good to include too. Front engine and AWD is nice to see, and all the new suspension parts are glorious.

My verdict:

5/10. Overpriced, but a good set. It should be what we expect, not what we are surprised and happy to get.

Ok, why there is no warning, like with crossblock pieces, to not insert it wrong way🤔

Quality control: holiday

Can easily be fixed by placing the 3L blue pin as the last step for this callout. But who cares, TLG? Nope. Builders? Maybe. Everything what TLG is telling about quality and testbuilds is a lie and this is not the first model.

It can be disassembled as it's possible to pull the axle with stop out even if it's fully inserted, though it's not easy. Still a badly thought out assembly, they really should've placed the blue pin last, as mentioned in the comment above.

Just ordered the set off Lego US website. How long it can take to arrive to this unfortunate country is up in the air. My question to anyone specially who lives inside the US: dya find it a little odd that this set along with other June 1 Technic sets (and maybe other themes) still don't appear on Amazon US site? 🤔 The August releases are available as pre-orders on the site. Even the lighting systems for R34 are flooding the website!

For years I've been buying from Amazon UK/Ebay but recently the cargo shipping has become pure ****; hence turning to US options. And the ones who officially bring Lego here probably will bring the Nissan and others within a year or so 😄

Next level TLG marketing cheating. Both models are supposed to be at the same scale. The Supra is upscaled to match the Skyline's scale.

Cool Video by the way

Not really upscaling. There's video about making of that clip where directors state that they had to frame it in a way it looked like both were to scale.
