Would have preferred something more sporty, but this is fine. I like the yellow. Promobricks said it will be € 80, so quite a bit cheaper and smaller than the last few sets.

42083 - Bugatti Chiron
tpvelo replied to Jurss's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Excited to see how the Chiron turns out :) Suggestion for a question: -How do you choose what model to make and what are the criteria for choosing it? -Maybe further why the Chiron? -Could we see a classic supercar in the future (like 250 GTO, Miura, 300SL etc.) or will the line continue focusing on new supercars? -

I think you are right. It's probably Ninjago Dockyard or Voltron then. -

Pictures of the 10261 Roller coaster which is likely being VIP released alongside the Chiron on May 16th has leaked. So hopefully we will soon start seeing some pictures of the Chiron too. -

Yes. Lego states "June 1st 2018" on their homepage: https://www.lego.com/en-us/themes/technic/bugatti-chiron?ignorereferer=true But LEGO had a small display with a few parts from the Chiron at the Geneva motorshow that said "May, 2018" https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/profile/5849-tripletschiee/&do=content&type=forums_topic_post&change_section=1 -

tpvelo replied to Jim's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Thank you for the great interview. Definately worth the wait :p It really offers a lot of insight despite the obvious restrictions in what Mike can say. -

These are still very loose rumors but maybe it's going to be set number 10262 and even more maybe it will cost € 145. Should this turn out to be true it would contain even more pieces than the 10258 London Bus (€ 120 / 1686 pieces). https://rebrickable.com/blog/155/new-2018-lego-sets/ http://www.jedijacpenguin.com/everythingweknowaboutLEGO2018.htm No info whatsoever on what vehicle it will be. This is the biggest source of wishing/speculation on the 2018 Creator Espert car I have found: http://bricksetforum.com/discussion/27097/creator-expert-vehicles-2018-beyond#latest

For people who saw the catalogue- Does the 31076 Daredevil Stunt Plane look like it's in the same sort of scale as 31039 blue power jet, 31011 Aviation adventures and 5892 Sonic Boom (500-600 bricks)?

Yes, they have announced that the London stores will have it available from tommorow (July 1st). Otherwise it's VIP release on the 17th and regular release on August 1st.

I think they did a pretty reasonable job with the limitations of the series in mind. No doubt I would have liked something a little more sporty instead but I will get it never the less...

It should be this week...

Finally! They really kept a tight lid on the Creator expert vehicle this year. I was hoping for something a little more sporty, but something iconic like this could certainly be interesting as well. It sounds like it will be a little more expensive than the previous vehicles, but it would make sense that it needs more bricks. The scale will be way off from the other cars though, so that's a little annoying.

Cool, can't wait to read it :)

At this point I have pretty much given up on a Creator Expert car this year. They normally release on August 1st / Juli 15th for VIP. The first rumours/info on the F40 turned up in December over 8 months before release. First Info on the Beetle was on April 1st, 4 months before release. We are now 2 months from August 1st. Info on The Last Jedi stuff is already out and that is not comming out before September(?). I have a suspicion that the Ideas Caterham has taken up the creator car slot for this year. I would be very happy to be proven wrong though. Edit: Oh, and non of the former Creator Expert cars has been discontionued yet.

Speaking of a Creator Expert Ford a GT 40 in black and gold like the speed champions one would be fantastic!
