Thanks pedro, especially the promo picture. I have merged the discussion in here.

Topic merged. Hope someone will drop by and assist you.

Your freaking Halloween avatar gave me a shock when I was reading past your post.

I thought during the 1980s, the US has quite alot of rare Classic Town sets which only made available there. While, the Racing sets are very much available all over the place as it was part of the regular theme. Especially, considering the fact that in recent sets, what are the probability that you can get a plain simple torso these days. It seems this set was one of the first few sets that were owned by many Town AFOLs. I am also one of them too. I supposed this is because of its low price tag which allows us to own it in an affordable manner. I fully agreed and that time period will always be remembered, knowing its almost impossible to see new sets with printed bricks due to costs. I went to look around and done some late research and it's actually cost a merely USD$2. The last time that I applied a LEGO set with stickers were in 2006, and they are now beginning to show signs of peeling at the side. I never really applied anymore stickers unless I think its necessary. I never even bother to apply stickers on the F1 Racers and it will probably ends up in a drastic state given the large amount of small stickers.

Just a bump on this topic, to encourage Eurobricks members to actively use your own "About Me" page to talk about yourself. It's very useful and neat feature to arrange all of your related info altogether instead of squeezing everything under your signature.

That is actually not a very right logic. In this particular review, this set holds some special meaning, in fact most CT sets tend to sway in that direction, so my rating will definitely skew towards there as well, resulting in its high score. There is no right and wrong answer, a matter of Reviewer's opnion. It's how we justify our thoughts.

Thanks guys for your kind words. I believe the high score which I have given can be rather bias, mainly due to the fact that this was one of the most enjoyable 4-studs wide car that I used to play when I was a child. Lots of nostaligic memories whenever I seen this and I have modifed this set into an attack vehicle. Silly, I know. But when you are a child, anything is just possible. Nice race scene. Yes, of course but with the current City direction, we can't really expect race cars to be of that scale anymore. At least, I am very certain it won't be made with just less than 50 parts. Then again, I am liking the idea of having a new race theme that is completely unrelated to Formula One.

Is there anymore information with regards to the distribution methods and the daily releases?

This is funny and a very good way to incorporate the HP microfigs into this vig.

This does not belongs here. Instead, it belongs to Culture and Multimedia. Topic moved. WhiteFang

This is not a very common design which SW Mocer could do and you have done a terrific job with it.

Thanks Zorbas, simply because you are also an avid Classic Town lover. This brings back many fond memories! I really miss these kind of old race settings! Just see how the Sprint Racer leading in the race.

Hello everyone, It has been quite a long while since I last bring you a Classic Town review and I am very pleased to bring you this small little wonder back from time right to the front of your monitor. So sit back and enjoy this fast and furious reviewing coverage all the way from 1980s. Name: Sprint Racer Theme: LEGO / SYSTEM / Town / Racing Year: 1988 Pieces: 32 Minifigs: 1 minifig Price: USD N.A, GBP N.A, SGD N.A Resources: Brickset, Peeron, BrickLink An image of a 6503, Sprint Racer Are you ready for the sensational LEGO Grand Prix Race? This is definitely the kind of race which are made available for the Classic Town citizens in the 1980s. Without much other entertainment around, viewing car races is the lifestyle for many avid car lovers. Based on this popular 4-studs wide design, many similar racing car model like the 2535 Formula 1 Racing Car was also one of the key highlights in the line up. So what is so spectacular about this miniature version? Building up the base of the car This yellow car base is the main foundation part for many 4-studs wide design by using the small little white wheel together. In modern City LEGO sets, you could hardly see any of such designs anymore until quite recently where we see the new 3177 Small Car in 2010. Adding the sides It is now fully assembled! This white race car is sponsored by Shell oil company. Shell was a very distinct icon in 1980s where you are able to find Shell petrol stations in many parts of Classic Town. With the earnings, I supposed the company went ahead and assembled a team of qualified racers to compete with others. From the sleek No.1 front down to the smooth spoiler at the rear, I really admires the simplicity in this design. A superb design for any Classic Town lovers. Please don't said its simple because Classic Town is meant to be simple in the first place. Shell printed parts Let's put it this way. How many of these unique printed parts can we see in modern sets? I am very certain with the very same design that is re-released again, I supposed these awesome printed parts will likely be replaced with stickers. This is a small little set and could be an impulse set equivalent in 1980s, TLG is able to give us these beautiful printed parts at such a low cost. These prints are able to withstand more than 20 years and is still looking in good shape unless you decided to use your nails to scrap the prints off which is insane in my context. I took a look at BrickLink and narrow individual parts which appeared in other official LEGO sets. The 2x2 tile with Shell Logo can be found in these 2 sets, while the 1x2 panel with Shell pattern can only be found in this set and the No.1 slope pattern can be found in 7 other sets. I supposed in the game of racing, everyone wishes to be number 1. The daring driver He is not one of the popular F1 drivers like Hamilton or Alonso, but instead he is a no-body that greatly depends on his driving skills to make his way to the race track to pit his skills with many other racers below. The driver torso is very plain and I really wished he could comes with some designs on his coverall. However, given the many printed parts in this set, it's reasonable for them to just use a plain blue torso for the racer. 3... 2... 1... AND GO!!!! This is such a very nice looking vehicle that could be added into Classic Town Race Prix like the 6381 Motor Speedway and the 6395 Victory Lap Raceway. If I could turn back time, I will definitely pick up a few more since its so much affordable, even though I don't have the past retail price, I am confident that small sets like this can't be too expensive. I hope you have enjoyed this small little race car like I do. Don't mind the giant race car by his side, there are so much development in car racing and it will never be like before. I do miss the old simple racing prix with the baseplates racing across the town. Summary review Playability: 10/10 (You can place it together with other racers from other grand prix.) Design: 9.5/10 (Simple and nice design with loads of printed parts but the downside was the lack of print on the driver's torso.) Price: 10/10 (It can't be too expensive for a set with less than 50 parts.) Overall: 9.8/10 (An enjoyable memorable small race car that is part of the classic golden age.) I gave it a "5" based on my Review Score Card. What about yours? I hope every one of you enjoyed reading this simple review of mine. Comments and Criticisms are strongly welcomed.

Great review. I bought and opened this set. I wasn't very pleased with the built but I am surprised of how Malfoy flew from its standing position. Then again, I am not sure how you are able to integrate the structure into any part of your Hogwarts. Between the first and the current edition, I felt the earlier edition will be much better in that aspect. However, the minifigures is the exact reason why I am so thrilled about. With all of the key characters present and a sinister looking Lucius and the creepy looking Dobby, made the whole set worth getting. I supposed Licensed sets are all about getting unique special minifigures and these 2 minifigures can only be found in this set.

Great transaction with EB member, metalandi. Thanks for everything. I love them all. +1 metalandi

After reading it through again, I have decided my vote based on what Jim had mentioned. Vote for Erik King/Kingofthezempk. However, one thing I could not ascertain is the PMs communication between Professor and Carrie. We must note that, Carrie was a Townie at one point in time before she was converted, so she could or might be a Town Investigator in the early stage. I trust the Professor at this stage but I just don't trust Carrie's words and I pray we are making the right conviction.

I like your introduction title and based on that, you are someone who are IT inclined. Welcome to Eurobricks. Have fun browsing around.

I haven't been exactly contributing alot today as I was busy handling administrative matters in my resturant. There are a lot of stuff to catch up on these few pages and I need to think through before convicting someone, especially when I am clueless at this stage plus seeing myself being mentioned a few times in this conversation.

I am feeling very excited about this! *puts my name into the list like what Shadows did* Does anyone have the updated version of the exact giveaway like before, like the online version promo image? I will love to see that.
