2009 Ferrari Victory set 8768 in my local store! (Not the Tiny Tur

[Dennimator]

Hi!

I went to my local toystore today, and I found the 8168 Ferrari Victory set there!

I won´t post a review as I didn´t buy it, but I took some new box pictures.

Also, if you want this set and don´t want to wait until 2009, just PM me and I´ll buy it for you for the MSRP+shipping(I´ll try to make the shipping as cheap as possible).

Here are the pics:

Front of the box:

Unfortunately, the flags seems to be stickers, as all the decals on the cars, and the ´wall´.

Back:

A close-up of the back of the cars:

I think the set is pretty well designed, but the main reason why I didn´t get is because the almost unbeleviably high amount of stickers and that I think that the cars are a little too big.

EDIT:400th post! Yay!

Thank for the pics.

Personaly, I would much rather have had a $10 set with one car. I want the car, but not two at the moment.

No prob!

Yea, that would be good, except that the cars wouldn´t cost $10 then, but $15. This set costs 279 SEK, which is well over $30.

It's on the site too.

Kimi's and Felipe's torsos have stickers too. But that's no news with Ferrari sets, is it?

(well, someone on brickset didn't know).

By the way, is this the first set to have both fleshy and yellow heads?

No, earlier Ferrari sets did this.

The mix of fleshy and yellow heads cause me to believe that someone......someone didn't really care when designing this set. That being said, I do like this set because of all the real world companies sponsored on the stickers, however, I agree that it shouldn't be stickers. Does anyone know if these heads are just recycled heads from speed racer.

No, but they have been included in earlier Ferrari sets with the same ´characters´. However, each figure does have a separate head.
