New Ferrari F430 Challenge & new 1:24 F1 (UPDATE: Ferrari F1 Team)

Recommended Posts

The 430 set looks pretty decent. It appears that it comes with two bodies I might consider getting it.

Tks Sam about this ;-)

I'm kind of pissed off by it !! It really ressembles what they did previously and the F1 is slightly redesigned !!

Since Shumi only has 1 race left (this sunday at Interlagos) and already lost the world championship ( *sweet* ), it seems that TLC wants to gain more money easily and quickly !!

So those sets will be out after Schumi :-D :-P

*yoda*

I'm with Yoda. This 430 is not significantly different from last year, and we don't need yet ANOTHER F1 minifig scale.

I really liked the 430, but don't need two versions of it.

I'm hoping we still have a 699 coming (or something like that, I forget which model, but the real life car looks nice).

If they do release a 599 GTB, it'll be interesting to see how they treat the rear pillars. On the real car the coupe windows courve inwards and fuse with the rear window, while the pillars countinue backwards seperately. It's clearly visible in the pic xwingyoda linked to.

I had a look at the price of the F430, and it looks like it's going to have an incredible piece to price ratio. It costs

So it includes pieces, apart from the wheels, for both a yellow and red car at the same time?

The Ferrari 430 Challenge is now on S@H:

I'm still not sure exactly what is included now. It makes it look like there are two full bodies included - a yellow and a red - but there's nowhere near enough pieces for that. There's 91 more than the original Ferrari 430, most of which probably go towards the roof of the new model.

I'd guess that there are Not enough parts to have two cars; they probably give you just an extra set of yellow slopes and whatnot to change the color of the outside. But everything under that like chassis and interiour is only a single copy.

Here's some pics I found on eBay of this set, which show what comes with the set:

I'm really liking the look of this set, and I'm thinking of getting one (or maybe two!).

Ferrari has been the biggest pleasant suprise from TLC in the 21st century. I just hope they don't get too repetitive.
