Jaromir Posted March 16, 2018 Come on guys... It is real Chiron picture pasted on the box looking like Porsche box and whole image was blurred, so we couldn't see if it is a model made of Lego bricks or real car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can understand that, because of that whole excitation about new Chiron. So some clever bastards are making profit out of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So some clever bastards are making profit out of it I can understand that you search for pictures, but seeing a blurry box image like that screams fake. And it's not even a LEGO model. Go the extra mile, copy and paste a fan model (copyright alert...alarm bells) and try to make it believable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AttentionSpanner Posted March 25, 2018 On 2/2/2018 at 4:11 AM, cloud said: As i see it the video hints to an all black Chiron as the rims on the real car in the video match the Lego rims in the teaser photo almost exactly. The real car is all black in the video without even the blue line curving around the door as seen in some paint variants. It could be that Lego chose to display an all black Chiron so as not to give away the real colours. Personally I'm hoping for a light blue on dark blue colour scheme, AWD, and accurate suspension geometry this time. I suppose dark gray on dark blue would be classy too. Why else have an extra 900 pieces vs the Porsche? If it is all extra brick built prettiness on a 2wd chassis I may skip it. Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this, but I think that's what they did with the 42056, where it was black with some black/white camouflage stickers... I would consider this to be the norm for any other future sets of this kind (if there will be any). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy98 Posted April 2, 2018 So the Chiron is coming June 1? Will they likely do a VIP early offer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LvdH Posted April 2, 2018 At Geneva Motorsports there was a poster with coming May 1st on it. Some say that is the VIP release date. Also, that's just one month away! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seasider Posted April 2, 2018 The Beijing motor show is on for a few days either side of 1st May, but I can’t imagine Lego releasing it there :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Didumos69 Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) I suppose LEGO is currently finalizing the model, which means removing some functions and introducing some unnecessary friction here and there. I hope this model has as much to improve as the Porsche had. Edited April 2, 2018 by Didumos69 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From the industrial business point of view I can´t immagine there are still improvements going on. Instead I suppose the conveyor belts are running day and night to supply the numbers for the hungry market launch. Another thought that came to my mind which I didn´t hear so far anywhere, in the speculation section as well: could it be possible that we are getting 2 x alternative liveries for a (detachable?) bodywork in different color schemes ? That would definitely explain the high parts count.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ngoc Nguyen Posted April 2, 2018 I'd say it's the same reason that 42069 got 2400 pieces. A number of them go into system pieces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meatman Posted April 2, 2018 Can't believe the Chiron is a month away from release and not one picture has surfaced yet. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AVCampos Posted April 2, 2018 I'd say it's a good thing. It prevents (or, more realistically, delays) copycat companies from copycatting the set, while from our (fans) perspective it changes nothing to when we're able to lay our hands in it. The only (subjective) disadvantage is that we see its details later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
