    Not sure if you saw my post, but I did this https://imgur.com/CtIPGWT

    I was thinking the MacLaren Senna as it just came out this year (Chiron came out 2016). So time line would make sense. However personally a Centenario would be awesome

    There is AWD and W16 simply not possible at this scale, especially in that small space.

    As for the second point...we aren't talking about cars in general however. This is specific car which TLG I'm sure had to remove features, do things differently because they had to answer to another partner who has stake in this. We wouldn't be Technic fans if Lego didn't have the innovative sets they've been known to put out. The non licensed supercars get more praise because they can do whatever the hell they want. This isn't the case here. Rear wheel steering was figured out by Uwe in the Porsche however Porsche didn't want it in the set for whatever reason. I'm sure there are other functions that were taken out. My only point is that a lot of people have different wishlist's and I think it's not justifiable to expect everyone's. It isn't flawless but the ones who are saying it's a bad set ( which I have seen) don't understand logistics.

    Someone on the LEGO Technic 42083 Bugatti Chiron Facebook Group posted a short video of using friction less pins in the suspension and it doesn't sag. Go check it out.

    I would love to see an E36 M3, but at this point it's just wishlisting cars we like. Realistically I'd assume it's something that already has a license with it. I doubt it will be a Supercar since they have the Ferrari already. Given that they've covered British, Italian, and German vehicles, I wonder if they'll change it up. I believe July will be the Creator car as well. Something 4 door or station wagon as mentioned above would be really cool. I don't think lego has released a 4 door car in a long time, not even in the technic line.

    I understand that. But those vehicles have inherent functions that compliment the existence of technic. Besides an engine with pistons and a gear box, there's not much else you can ask for which is what I've been seeing a lot of. most of it has already been done. It's like the HOG steering, if you like it, cool. I personally don't like it and would never put it in. The rear wing imo was a cool addition. I'm not saying I agree with the licensing tax ( for lack of a better term), I'm just saying that it shouldn't be a huge surprise to people. Of course it would be cheaper without. The thing is, I've bricklinked other MOCs of this scale and the prices fall much much higher than the bugatti, despite having 25-30% of the parts already. And those are used parts. There's no license cost and the amount of parts are actually less.

    I still dont understand certain issues people have with a car. It's a car. What "extra" functions can you even put? A few I agree with: Steering Geometry Proper suspension ( this one bothers me the most, not impressed because there are better solutions to this) Front end has a bit too many gaps that could be addressed At the end of the day Lego defines Technic, not the people. It might not be what was coming out years ago, but there's still new things. The argument for the W16 is one of the most annoying to me. It's painfully obvious that a W16 with 1 crankshaft with what's available is impossible, let alone possible legally build wise. Why would lego create a mold for 1 W16 solely? That's a terrible financial decision. TLG is out to make money just like any other company. They're not different. And given that it's still 10ct per piece does it not fall in line with literally everything else that was released? I think the Euro price is a little high but saying way over priced is a stretch. Of course it's marketing? What part about it is a gag? It's not like it was bait and switched. They announced a license with Bugatti, and released a Bugatti car. Of course there will be an extra cost. Exact same thing with anything else licensed, look at Star Wars for example.

    Did anyone get an extra light grey flex axle? I got 3 of the medium size one ( not sure exact length). Did I miss a step in the build? I checked the parts list and it shows the build has 2, but I got 3. Also, tried changing this. I'm undecided if it looks better or worse. What do you guys think? https://imgur.com/a/IY7uZlE It's rough..I used a pneumatic hose but I will replace with an 11 Flex axle. I think the C line looks a lot nicer, especially from far.
  10. SheldonF
    As someone mentioned earlier, it's possible it can also do the opposite (keep the car from sagging even more). Either way, few hours till some of us find out I'd assume
  11. SheldonF
    I'll wait to build it myself to see the front suspension but it does appear to "stick". Maybe a change in springs or pins can make it better. I saw some other videos earlier today where it didn't look that way and seemed like there was minimal sag
  12. SheldonF
    Agreed. I wish there was a nice place to keep the key. That being said, since it's simple axle rotation it should be easy to move that rotation to the interior. I bought mine and will begin build in about 4 hours when I'm home.

    Parts list is available. https://bricksafe.com/pages/Povratnik/

    I want to find a way to put a nice largo window/glass piece above the engine. Purely aesthetics.
  15. SheldonF
    Ohh Nice! I never saw that. That's very interesting. I saw that the Jag got rejected but I never saw why. I figured they would do something Japanese or American since everything seems to be European. I love the creator cars ( and the Technic ones as well) so this excited me. And absolutely, A creator Expert car thread to capture all would be a much better idea! Thank you!

    I am in love with this angle of the car. I really think it's an amazing model and I'm so excited. Just a screen shot I took. Remove if it's against rules but I think it's allowed! https://imgur.com/a/EQXPBco

    Yeah, I looked into this a bit more, it's "presell" and says it will deliver within 60 days. Which means they assume they'll have a clone out within 2 months or the car releasing, which seems possible. Ridiculous.
  18. SheldonF
    why 400 more parts ??
  19. SheldonF
    I'm going right as the store opens. Saturn V Sold out at my closest store on Day 1 within 3 hours. I think this will be similar. Anyone else thinking of how to make this into a Vision GT model or colour switch?
  20. SheldonF
    Well part of me hopes its 8+R and that the R just takes gear one and reverses it but I don't think it'll be that. I think there is space for 3 positions (D N R) Edit: Realized that the real car is a 7 speed DCT and not an 8 speed so 7+R seems perfect.
  21. SheldonF
    Looks like I was right with the Key :D But holy crap it looks even better. I honestly need the next 24 hours to go by so I can purchase this ( Eastern Standard Time). What a set.
  22. SheldonF
    I apologize if there's already a place for this, if so please let me know. I know it's around this time of the year that Lego announces the new Creator Car but has there been any hint on what it might be? I can't find any resources online.
  23. SheldonF
    4 goes on the seats, 3 goes on the bag
  24. SheldonF
    I've been trying to figure that out...looks like it could be a brick built key? Edit: Also, overall, I'm very impressed with what I see. I think some gaps from the hood could have been designed slightly better ...not by me because I'm not good, but there are many on this site that I'm sure will find a nice way to cover some of it up. The front wheel gap is a little big. Otherwise I am blown away. That rear view is just amazing. I don't think anyone would have thought to design the back light like that yet it seems so obvious now. The picture below really captures just how nice this model really looks.

    No leaks allowed on the forums. Period. There are other websites like Facebook and Reddit which have these, so try looking there.
