wow this is pretty cool!

Mabuhay! Have fun here :)

Mabuhay kapatid! :)

makes sense from a corporate standpoint. minifigs with your company printed on it is a prime marketing tool!

haha! it doesn't "help" that there was a price rollback. you might overfill your tank with the minimum purchase lolz

im looking for that grid too! ebay is the only way so it seems.

thanks! i think it would go to europe after this month with the italian teaser posters appearing salamat! this goes until nov. 30 only so hurry hehe thanks! as with all Ferrari minifigs, it has always been stickers even for the bigger playsets. the good thing about stickers for torsos is that you can choose not to apply them and use the torsos as templates for custom minifigs instead ;)

salamat! I haven't gotten the Berlinetta and the F150 Italia yet. i'll be posting the 30192 and 30194 within the week. updated: i was so overwhelmed by work a while ago i thought i posted the FXX comment on another forum lolz

As originally published at Nom-mage Since I haven't been able to get the 30190, I'll review the minifig set of the Shell promo, the 30196 Ferrari Pit Crew. I must say, this promo set has the most value. Three minifigs for about 3 EUR at the most is a very, very good deal! The Polybag This set has 50 pieces, which is a lot considering this is a minifig set. Minifig parts Their accessories Instructions As expected from Lego Ferrari sets (and as seen in the minifig parts), this would require stickers on their torsos. Not using them would just make the minifigs "generic". Sticker sheet My favorite piece here would be this one. I forget what it's called (Erlenmeyer flask?) Reminds me of chemistry class Again, 3 EUR for 3 minifigs is a good deal. Of course you have to gas up at least 25 EUR of Shell fuel (Philippine mechanics) The minifigs Ferrari Race Mechanic with jack Ferrari Refuelling Engineer with refuelling machine Shell Track Scientist and her chemicals The refuelling machine was the most "complicated" build, but the chemicals were the most intriguing with all the transluscent pieces, and of course my favorite Erlenmeyer flask. After all was said and done, the set yielded 4 extra pieces. Seems like most Lego Ferrari sets that has minifigs would always include an extra visor. Extra pieces The whole gang Pinoy minifigs clowning around with the crew On to the ratings: Design: 4.5/5 - The race mechanic accessory was pretty straight forward, but the refueling equipment plus the chemicals had a great look in spite its size. Parts: 4/5 - lots of translucent round plates, perfect for Lego cars, plus that Erlenmeyer flask. They could've explored a different jack for the race mechanic though. And then there's the stickers :| Build: 3.5/5 - pretty straightforward. Nothing special. Stickers were a pain as usual. Playability: 4/5 - can be easily added to any Lego town or Lego Ferrari set. Price: 5/5 - can't say it enough. 3 minifigs for less than 3 EUR is a steal! Overall: 4.2/5 They say you gotta have an oil change for a chance to get this set. Then again, I got this set with a normal fill-up. Try asking your local Shell station, you might be lucky like me!

It's my first review here so please bear with me. Long time lurker, big Lego Ferrari fan. Today I'm gonna review one of the Shell Promotional sets, 30195 (FXX) The set comes with 56 pcs. (including the pull-back chassis of course), an instruction leaflet, and a sticker sheet. Pretty straightforward. The only piece that intrigued me was the nose/hood of the car. It's similar to the nose of 30190, only difference is it's black. As with the other Shell Promo sets, it's pretty much a 5-minute build. I ended up with 4 extra pcs after building, although that 2x3 light grey pc seems pretty big for an extra pc. Without stickers, it's pretty plain and nothing like the original FXX So yeah, stickers are a MUST in this set, unlike the 30192 and 30194 which have printed bricks (not sure about 30195 since I don't have one yet) What's that in the background? Why, it's his big brother 8156 of course! Design: 4/5 - pretty much at par with the details considering its size. Stickers suck though. Parts: 3/5 - nothing special here, and the unique brick doesn't seem really useful outside of Tiny Turbos. Build: 3/5 - solid build from the door to the front. can't say the same about the spoiler, which detaches with relative ease. Playability: 4/5 - pull-back motor makes it highly playable, but the sturdiness (or lack thereof) of the spoiler could be a concern Price: 3.5/5 - considering how one could get these plus the fact that its details are mostly stickered, it's one of the promo sets which has less bang for the buck Overall: 3.5/5 Cheers Eurobricks! hope you enjoyed my first review here ever. :)

It's been a while since I've been here, good thing Lego Ferrari came back! Great review I must say. It inspired me to do my own. I included some comparison shots with the 8654 truck head and the 8153 truck head, http://www.nom-mage.com/2012/11/special-edition-lego-shell-ferrari.html

i store them one inside the other. not only does it save space, but it gives additional rigidity to the boxes so that they're nto squashed when stored.

i got this set in the early 90's. some kid in school stole it :( it went well with my police helicopter at that time.

storing the spare engine cover is the function depicted in the box. but yeah, pits don't usually have a spare engine cover. they usually have spare noses, which would've made more sense if that was the one included.

voted for DC. still wishfully thinking of Watchmen MiniFigs and a Lego Archie

this looks like the squid that never will be in the upcoming Watchmen movie :(

any update on the euro cargo?

i'm in too!

count me in! w00t!

until when is this offer running? i'd like to join but im gonna be out of the country for 2 weeks (to the US specifically). no webcam and limited internet access :( but i'm still interested in learning the ins and outs of good reviews. would plan to review for the local AFOLs (Philippines)
