SirBlake Posted March 6, 2016 Interesting update: talked to the guy at the local TRU who is the most Lego knowledgeable. He was surprised to hear about the old sets getting a price hike and figured it was a glitch in the "system". He went on to say that he expected last years sets to get clearanced in the next week or two. Fingers crossed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
obsidianheart Posted March 6, 2016 My local TRU jacks the price way, way up on sets that are discontinued or a wave or two behind. The example that sticks out most to me is when they had a Lone Ranger Silver Mine for $119.99 during the late stages of 2014. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tahu Posted March 15, 2016 Can someone help me? I'm trying to figure out how many pieces the Camaro drag race set have in only the two cars. I know the whole set has 445 pieces but if we only count the two car. How many pieces does the 2016 camaro have without the driver? And how many pieces does the '69 Camaro have without the driver separately? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And how many pieces does the '69 Camaro have without the driver separately? best thing I can suggest is find a copy of the instructions, (brickset, and the lego site both should have them) and then go through each car, and count how many pieces are used for each.

Yeah... THAT is what I was trying to avoid. Any other suggestion? Can someone who has the set count it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Posted March 15, 2016 Yeah... THAT is what I was trying to avoid. Any other suggestion? Can someone who has the set count it? How is that any less time-consuming than you going through the instructions yourself? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exetrius Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Has anyone seen this?! It's easily the best Lego News show episode that I've seen. The set presentation is so smooth, but it's nothing compared to this awesome character: Ace! I really, really like his design and I actually was a little disappointed to not see an original vehicle for him. The tease at the end is stirs up the hype even more, so I hope we see something of both in the future! Edited May 16, 2016 by Exetrius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GallardoLU Posted May 18, 2016 Hmm, KITT, but teased now... does this mean a new theme? or a 3rd wave (2nd for the year)? curious to see where this goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RacerRabbit Posted May 20, 2016 Nice Kitt Could end up being a new Ideas set or something along that nature. KITT appears to be a 7-wide here. But with that new Knight Rider movie in the works, maybe.... Just maybe.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Immo Posted May 24, 2016 The Speed Champions sets are available in stores in Poland despite claims from the official stores they won't be sold at all. Good thing, I still want to get Ford+Ford and Chevy+Chevy sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brickprawn Posted July 4, 2016 I don't suppose anyone could direct me to a website or individual that does custom stickers? I'm planning on buying multiples of the race cars and changing the race numbers so I can have two and three car teams. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrivitzChris Posted July 5, 2016 I don't suppose anyone could direct me to a website or individual that does custom stickers? I'm planning on buying multiples of the race cars and changing the race numbers so I can have two and three car teams. Thanks. You should be able to scan the original sticker sheet into a PC. Then use Photoshop or a different painting program to do what ever changes you need then print it off on "sticker paper". Cut out and apply and you should be all set. My question, has anybody been able to reverse engineer the Ford GT and Ford GT40. It has a few additional details than the MOC posted earlier. It is really unfortunate that Lego isn't going to release it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickprawn Posted July 6, 2016 The problem is I don't have access to a scanner, photoshop or printer. I'm not really prepared to spend hundreds on them to make a couple of custom stickers either. I bet if there's a wave three of speed champions that we will see the Ford GT's in a set. Lego have a seemingly good relationship with Ford at the moment and thanks to the recent BOP the GT is currently sweeping up all the trophies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
