    Time to give it the Lionel Blair treatment (yes i'm showing my age)

    Thant's not quite what I meant. Will it be a limited exclusive for a few months then all retailers will get stock and proper price competition or a full exclusive that no other retailer will ever get stock and essentially price fixing? As soon as I build it first job is to make it right hand drive done it to every Lego car i have ever had from the 8865 to 42056

    More a question for the UK guys I have just noticed that John Lewis on there site has the Chiron listed as an exclusive, do we know if this will be just a timed exclusive? If not I fear the price will not be going down anytime soon (Also anyone having problems posting with Firefox have reset the cache and still can't reply to threads had o use chrome instead.)

    It has not sold out on the Lego web store the Porsche was on back order a few hours after going on sale, this could also be due to the fact that Lego has limited this to one per person Porsche was 5 sets from the start. Also possible lower amounts of product due to unexpected demand and the need to redesign the box close to launch.

    Anyone know when is this going to be available to non Lego stores? As this time round need to wait till 25-30% price reduction.

    The spoiler is not spring loaded so you need mechanical advantage to rotate the gear. Also if you put it in the cabin you have that massive engine and gearbox to route through I doubt there is one. so it would be a knob on the side. which is what we have but it's removable.

    I think for these ucs cars they need an even stiffer shock though at that stage it may only have 4mm of travel

    It does come with 6 and most moc's will need 4, so you should not have to use them. Lego only seem to print on a curved surface or a very small surfaces where stickers are difficult to apply.

    This must be depressing for Lego they were so close to no leaks then boom I hope they at least have a new vid for tomorrow Also at 0:12 they could have put some bushes in there to hold the con rods in palce

    I think 3 and 4 could be on the seats as i think the real version has the name stitched into it

    Having now seen the hub assembly I'm still baffled why they have moved the hub pins to the rim instead of the hub /brake disk is this a feature of the Bugatti as it seems opposite to every wheel hub assembly? Also we still have the same engine mount ends which were designed to use with studs. a new stud less design would have been nice with some additional pin holes. Now I have to stop building my moc super car as i need those new gears get around the 4 wheel drive / steer problems i was having

    That's seems unnecessarily large and ugly. I can't believe Lego would make anything that ungainly

    I'm not sure how they are going to get more that another 4 speed gearbox into the Bugatti. The Porsche was rear engine so it gave you some room from the rear axel to the driving seat to put mechanicals in the Bugatti is mid engine (and a big one at that) it will have to sit on top of the gearbox probably making it flat layout. Also they may not be space to mount the gearbox at the back and then link it to a paddle shift on the wheel

    Do you mean rope with pulleys or some new flex system?
  17. Cardboy
    More importantly what size are the dog bones
  18. Cardboy
    I find the Bugatti a car that was built around it's engine and speed and has no external drama or excitement and when it's sat on your shelf it will just be the weird bubble it is I was going to replace the Porsche on the shelf with the next super car (repeat every two years) but I feel that I may buy the Bugatti build it then dismantle it where as my Enzo is going nowhere! I want a super car to stir my soul not vibrate my bottom
  19. Cardboy
    I have tried a setup like this before and found it has a lot of flex and pulley wheels can move in and out a lot. I hope they will have a different part or a better way of controlling all the movement

    Looking again at the video and this The video has two engines so I think we will essentially see that with a few "exhaust tubes"
  21. Cardboy
    I have over the last few years been building my own 4 wheel drive 4 wheel steer 5 speed manual gear box super car which i hope to post at some point if I'm ever happy with it. if it is going to be 4 wheel drive I can't think that the gear box can be anything more than 4 gears as on the Porsche it takes up allot of space so would need to be double that for about 3/4 more gears then your going to have a fun time getting the drive shafts to the front wheels unless we get some more idle gears. All of this has to sit behind the seats and before the engine and the Porsche had to have that clunky reverse switch in the middle.

    If your in the UK John Lewis has dropped the price on the 42069 to £98
  23. Cardboy
    Thought I would share this but I apologise if this is the wrong place to put it. If your in the UK John Lewis has dropped the price on the 42069 to £98
  24. Cardboy
    +1 to this also i believe the redesign on the 42039 for the curved panel was for future models as much as itself and the mini turntable I do remember getting those wheels on the trike and wondering about its design until the 8880 arrived
  25. Cardboy
    I'm with you! Full optimism that we will get all new cool stuff (until mid Feb when the crushing realisation is that we got nothing)
