My thoughts on this are that without building your own design, the biggest challenge today would be the dexterity required in assembling some sections. Aside from that the majority of mistakes that I've made personally have been from lack of concentration or distraction while building. I will say though when you look at an instruction manual from 20-30yrs ago compared to a manual from today and it's quite noticeable how much they've been "dumbed down". Whether the set is 6+, 12+, 18+, whatever, the instructions still read like they're aimed at a 6+ builder. Maybe something to consider for Lego would be an 18+ set having instructions aimed at 18+ builders?

On a side note, Happy New Year all

I'm trying to be hopeful, don't bring me down :)

Do they not have the dark green that's used in some of those "flora sets"?

I agree with everything said here but I still have this feeling they're going to end up in my collection all the same :D

What do you class as mid size? 42152 - Firefighter Plane

Does anyone know when the McLaren P1 will be released to the wider retailers? Not just the Lego shop? Asking from Australia

I like these ideas, thinking outside the box :)

Apparently there's going to be a few F1 themed sets coming in 2025, do you think that might pave the way for another Technic F1 set?

The G wagon looks pretty awesome, it is a bit of a shame that it's a shade of orange though. Lego really have made the most of their shades of orange over the last few years. The only thing I don't like about it is I'll probably have to disassemble my Defender to make room for it

You'd think with the 1st of August being only a few weeks away, details and images will start coming thick and fast. Even if it is a copy/paste of the SP3 scenario, it's been near on two years since I built that one so with my memory it will seem new again

While I'm looking forward to the McLaren and it will add to my Supercars collection I wouldn't mind seeing one in the future with maybe a retractable roof as a point of difference to the ones that have come before it

only looks like 1/8 & 1/10 on road at this stage but never say never i guess for future variants

I like this option of being able to buy licenced tyres, be a good replacement for sets with generic tyres https://decadastore.com/products/cada-goodyear-tires-accessories-d013-d014

One thing I noticed, was the mention of an in-line six engine a typo or what? Shouldn't it be a flat six? Aside from that, I do kind of agree about some of techniques used when looking closer. But great work all the same, I could never design something like this

The only downside is the stickers, they are not on the same level as Lego stickers. Plus there are some which cover multiple panels which renders the set a once-off build unless you get another set of stickers

Is the Assassin 1:8 or 1:10? If it's 1:10 then i'd say they haven't. And since it's not licenced (yes any car guy knows its a Mclaren) I'd say they still haven't. Cool looking model though but i've seen enough in orange, I'd like a different colour please

Yessir :) Like others have said, I think the green/orange livery would be difficult but I would definitely consider purchasing a 1/10 or 1/8 scale version even in the factory white scheme

I was kind of expecting and hoping I guess for something bigger and in that famous green and orange

I'd be surprised if there are two of the same Koenigsegg models in the same release cycle. That seems strange to me. The recolour of the Bollide didn't get released at the same time as the yellow one

Good use of the bike brake rotors

Mazda 787b could be great, iconic race car that is deserving of a brick recreation. Also, how good does the little AMG GT look

@brunojj1 do these supplementary instructions solve the bug fixes amorti mentions? As I haven't watched his video yet

I can never remember, when do we usually start seeing more details or pics of the upcoming 2024 sets?

Are either of these in the technic style or the brick style?
