I prefer the old 1991 version. The old one is so much more realistic compared to the new one. Why the old one is better? 1) The crane is the gantry crane type usually seen at large ports, hence the name intercoastal seaport 2) The crane can move sideways along the dock on rails, you dun expect the ship to move right? 3) There is an additional forklift to load the container onto the truck 4) A pilot boat to guide the ship into port 5) The container truck can carry TWO containers 6) Total 5 containers to play with, with 2 white general purpose container, 1 with a V8 engine, 1 with a tractor and 1 with what appears to be tanks 7) Noticed the dock is much more solid than the new one. It even have 1x4 grey plates to protect the ship and dock in case the ship knocks into the dock. 8) The ship is classic lego ship which is made out of bricks instead of 1 large piece.

I ended up buying a MISB set recently from a Lego collector who is clearing up his collection. Excellent set to get the IR remote and IR receiver and other motors without paying insane amounts for the bulldozer now. There is a quite a number of parts in Power miner lime green and 1x1 white teeth plate for the mouth and claws. The dino alone has 20 teeth in its mouth The glow in the dark "antennas" on the backbone of the dino is a nice touch as you can let him walk in the dark somewhat. I do agree with the reviewer, the box IS INSANELY HUGE!!! I don't think Lego wanted to show a 1:1 scale dino, they just wanted to promote the power function stuff as large as possible. Also, the remote is smaller than shown in the picture as the hand holding it I think is smaller.

INDEXED In the year 1990, a small pursuit squad was formed by the Lego Town Police Force as a means to better pursuit and apprehend criminals who are increasingly mobile. Through a combination of land, sea and air, it counters all possible escape routes that a criminal might use. To this day, the veteren and experienced crew of officers manning this squad is still active and ready to catch today's slickest suspect. Their vehicles might be outdated to the latest toys used by the newer officers, but it still works like it was back in 1990. Basic Information Set name: Pursuit Squad Set number: 6354 Year of released : 1990 Price: Bought at a price of RM 30 = USD 8.55 (RM= Ringgit Malaysia, our local currency) those days, on Bricklink it is USD 100 for a MISB set Number of parts : 171 (according to Brickset) Minifigures: 3 Links: Bricklink Brickset My photobucket The box Wow! I actually have the box this time around! The box is the usual Lego Town type box. It is worth to note that the interior of this box is white in color and not like the latest boxes which has a cardboard brown interior. The back of the box showing the alternate models. Pity Lego does not do this anymore Instructions A random instruction page from the instructions. The color difference is obvious and the usage of space is good. The size of the instructions is roughly the same size of the box, which I feel is good since the booklet does not bounce all that much inside the box. Something I noticed in the instruction; it is printed in Germany! Minifigures There are 3 minifigures in this set; 2 police officers in jumpsuits with white helmet and transparent blue visors and 1 police office in police uniform with police hat. All the heads are classic Lego smilies Motorbike Let's start with the motorbike. It is a normal Lego white motorbike with an antenna in the rear for the radio, rear and front lights and "police" printed 1x2 plate on its side The helicopter The helicopter is a simple 1 man machine with a range of gadgets to assist the officer. It comes with a standard Lego radio on its right side, a video camera (still using the old cassette type video camera, it came from those days) on its right side and 2 flashlights to illuminate the target below. There is also a red and green flashing lights directly above the cockpit and 2 printed bricks with "police" below the engine compartment. Getting into the helicopter is easy; just open the bubble glass cockpit and the minifigure can hop in. But the rotor blades must not be directly above the glass for it to open though. Once inside, the pilot is within reach of all the equipment on board. I find it is odd that the radio is outside the helicopter instead of inside where the pilot needs to use it. Does he reach out of the cockpit while at the controls? Is it equipped with a hands free kit? Obviously in 1990 using a hand-held radio/telephone while flying is still safe and not a danger yet. The jeep and boat on trailer The jeep is a normal 4 stud wide jeep with driver compartment and a rear open storage area. The roof has a 2 plate high flashing lights and an antenna for communication. At the rear storage area are 2 road light beacons and a portable red triangle. Access into the jeep is easy with openable doors and roof. The 2 rear panels with the words "police" are printed. On the rear wheels is female ball socket to connect to the trailer The trailer is standard grey trailer used to transport the police boat. It has rear lights and plate with 1 stud for the boat to attach itself. It somehow lacks the trailer hitch to keep it standing if disconnected from the jeep... ... and has lead to some hilarious scenarios during the squad's service. Sometimes in order to better pursue the suspect, the jeep joins the chase. Since the boat trailer slows the jeep down, the officer in the jeep tends to disconnect the trailer without realizing the trailer has nothing to stand on. As for the boat, it is a standard Lego boat with an interesting engine in the rear. Usually such a boat will have an outboard motor, but in this boat it appears to have a jet-propulsion type of engine; handy when you need to catch bad guys in speed boats. A printed 1x2 plate at the front of the boat shows that this is a police boat This is how it looks like when the jeep, trailer and the boat is together as 1 unit. The life-jacket stays in the boat until the boat is deployed. In service with the force On a typical day, the jeep is used to set up roadblocks to monitor traffic, with the motorcycle patrolling But sometimes, high speed chases require the use of the helicopter. With high speed and excellent visual from above, even the best sportscar and driver can't outrun from the helicopter. Together with the jeep and the bike, a roadblock can be set up to hopefully catch the suspect, provided he don't use the force to move the road block away The completed Pursuit Squad In conclusion In conclusion, this is a nice addition to any Lego town police force. It has everything; a motorcycle for highway chases, a jeep for all-terrain suspects, a boat for those escaping by river and a chopper to provide an eye in the sky. The great part about this set are the printed pieces. All the police words are printed and is very useful since they can be used for various MOCs or even other Lego vehicles. Design: 8/10 The vehicles are obviously designed with trying to maximize the usage and accessories with the minimal amount of parts. But the lack of a trailer hitch for the trailer is a bit of a disappointment. Minifigures: 9/10 Two officers in jumpsuits with helmets and 1 normal police officer. 1 more could be better, but it would be odd having him in the boat when it is on the trailer. Playability: 10/10 The various vehicles allow all kinds of pursuit scenarios. Jungle, Highway, Urban, waterway, canal, no place is out of reach. Price: 9/10 At RM 30 in those days, a bargain for 4 different vehicles in 1 go. Overall: 9/10 A good set by Lego with great playbility and best of all, lots of printed police plates, bricks and panels to use!

INDEXED From the year 1984, one small set has been delivering high quality Shell fuel to the citizens of Lego Town and the new Lego City. Although outdated compared to another petrol tanker truck from the petroleum company Octan, dwarfed by ever larger trucks populating the streets, this venerable classic continues to faithfully supply Shell fuel to power the ever-expanding Lego Town and City. Set Name: Tanker Truck Set Number: 6695 Year of release : 1984 Number of parts: 106 Price: About USD 15 for used set on Bricklink. Links Bricklink Brickset Peeron The picture of the set This is the picture of the set taken from the instruction manual courtesy of Peeron. As you can see it is a simple set with a prime mover, the Shell minifigure and the tanker trailer at the back. Random instruction page Compared to now, Lego used every single sq ft of instruction real estate to ensure the price is right for this set. What a great way to save paper! Also note that the tanker portion is using a whole lot of simple parts instead of using 1 large cylindrical piece. Picture from PICSL The parts roll-call. There is a huge number of slope pieces to make up the tanker. Note the printed Shell door panels which is common in those days. The wheels are the old type with red wheels. The minifigure For the minifigure, we have a Lego man with printed Shell logo, blue legs and a red police type hat. The face is classic Lego The Shell sticker sheet Even in those days, there is the Dreaded Sticker Sheet! You get 2 stickers for the sides of the tanker, 1 for the rear and 2 (1 spare) for the little keypad on the tanker. Picture from Peeron. The completed set Here is a picture of the completed set showing the prime mover, minifigure inside the cab and the tanker trailer. If there are differences with the set picture, it is the lack of the Shell sticker on the tanker. I have lost the stickers when this set was dissembled years ago. Another reason why printed bricks are better. The tanker trailer The tanker trailer is solidly built by multiple numbers of slope bricks. It has a hose compartment with nozzle on the right side to allow the tanker driver to refuel whoever who might need it. A small keypad 2 plates high is next to the hose compartment to allow the operator to discharged the right amount of fuel. Below the keypad there is a nozzle holder. It has 2 rear lights as well as 2x2 black circular plates to show the hatch into the tanker. On the bottom of the tanker is the landing gear so that the trailer can be kept upright and level after it has been detached from the prime mover. The prime mover For the prime mover the doors on both sides have a printed Shell logo. From the front it has a 1x2 ladder plate to show the grille of the engine and normal square lights. The yellow round bricks represents the fuel tank of the prime mover. At the rear the fifth wheel is a black turntable to connect to the trailer. This allows the truck to turn independently like an articulated truck. Access to the cab The top hatch can be opened to allow easy access to the cab, classic Lego style. Connection of the tanker to the prime mover Connecting one another is easy as both the prime mover and the tanker is level with each other. Once the tanker is on the turn-table, the landing gear can be retracted. Another view of the full set This is a view from the left side of the tanker. The items missing include the Shell sticker and logo. As you can see, the hose and fuel nozzle is only on the right side of the tanker. Application and playability of this set no.1: To supply fuel to racers at Victory Lap Receway It is very clear that this set is meant to compliment the other Shell sets as shown with the Shell F1 racer. Here you can see our operator going to refuel our racer at the raceway. Application and playability of this set no.2: To supply fuel for heavy equipment Lego produced some extremely large sets recently, and the latest crawler crane is no exception. Indeed, whenever there is a huge machine, there is bound to be a need for a steady reliable supply of fuel needed to run it. Application other than Lego? Not wanting to miss a golden opportunity to refuel a Shell Ferrari F1 car, our friend here took the trouble to go to Sepang during the recent Grand Prix! Conclusion Overall this is a small simple set with a lot of playability. The addition of the Shell door panels and Shell stickers for the rear tank has made this truck almost similar to its real life counterparts. Add in the fuel hose, nozzle and the keypad and nozzle holder and you have a temporary fuel station anywhere! This set is definitely classic material! The entire tanker design follows the corporate color scheme of Shell whereby the bottom part is yellow with red outline and white at the top. Even without the Shell stickers at the back it is clear it is a Shell tanker from the color scheme. Side by side with the Shell F1 racer, and it is as if both are on the same team (which they are:P) If you have noticed, my white bricks have yellowed quite a bit. That is after years of play and even more years in storage. But the good news is that all still interlock with each other and the wheels can still turn. So in a nutshell:- Playability: 10/10 Bring it to the city to resupply the petrol station! Refuel Shumi's Ferrari F1 at the Grand Prix! Deliver fuel to the construction site/farm/garage, the possibilities are endless! Design: 9/10 It has a great simplistic design with articulated trailer, hose compartment and many more, but the need for stickers has made it lose a point. Minifigure: 8/10 A simple Legoman with a Shell Red hat, classic Lego smile, blue legs and a white shirt with printed Shell logo at the front. Price: 9/10 At 15 bucks for a used set, it could be a useful addition to any Town or City. Overall: 9/10 A timeless classic. Could have been better without any stickers, as my set has lost the stickers, but still a great set! More pictures at my photobucket

INDEXED Hi all, my second review will be about a small set from the year 1990; Road Rebel Set number: 6644 Set name: Road Rebel No. of pieces: 68 Price: USD 80 for MISB Year released : 1990 More info: Brickset, Bricklink The boxart The boxart courtesy of Peeron. As you can see on the box, there is a red sportscar with yellow bike trailer. The minifigure is on the bike with helmet Random instruction page Random instruction page showing the construction of the red car. Pic from PICSL. The parts roll-call. Rare parts include the number "3" 1x1 printed tile, black bike and 4x3 slope wheel arch. There is only 2 nos of the number "3" tile because I have lost 1 The set once assembled. Typically the driver will drive his sportscar and his bike to some place. Then he will unload his bike and later ride it The Red Sportscar The red sportscar has a sporty aerodynamic feel to it with the sloped wheel arch, windows and low profile lights. At the back there is a variable spoiler (wow, even real life ones didn't have them!) and the engine bay shown by the grille plates. The black handle is the backrest for the driver. Also note the rear lights are of the low profile type to match the front lights. The red color is all over the car, with a yellow strip at the doors. As an additional accessory this sports car have a tow hook! Its amazing for so little you can do so much! Yellow Trailer with bike For the yellow trailer you have the black bike with number "3" tiles on the side and on the headlight. This is obviously a sports bike (or a heavy modified one, since it is named a road rebel) as there are no headlights or taillights. The bike is mounted on a yellow 2x1 plate with 1 stud. Yellow trailer For the trailer itself it is of a fairly simple design with 2 circular taillights, a tow hook and yellow wheels. Noticed the trailer is level when the trailer hitch is down... ...and it remains level as our dear friend here is connecting it back to the car. Amazingly the tow hook of the sports car is level to the tow hook of the trailer! Minifigure For the minifigure the torso is a sprinted shirt with black and red lines, the legs are white and the head is classic Lego . When driving the car or not riding Usually when in the car or when he is not riding he wears a blue cap. Would look overkill wearing a black helmet and driving a car with a trailer behind When riding the black bike But when he wants to ride, the cap goes into the car and he dons the black helmet! Meeting another minifigure from another set Along the way he spots another motorcyclist Guess from which set the other minifigure came from? It's playtime! Since they have ample time, they decided to "rempit" a bit. Rempit is something like doing daredevil recklass stunts with the motorcycle. I didn't know the road rebel can do a "superman"! Its amazing that from so little you can have so much. This set proves that sometimes "less is more" with a sportscar equipped with variable spoiler, tow hook, 2 doors, backrest, steering wheel, low profile lights and a cool Ferrari red using some basic parts. Even the new 2009 red sportscar is does not even compare to this model since the new one does not even have a simple door! Add in 1 black bike with racing number and a bright yellow trailer to go with it, you have an awesome Lego set! In a nutshell:- Playability : 10/10 Two great vehicles in one small package. Design : 10/10 This is how a great sports car should be, sleek, red, open-top and have a big spoiler, all in 7 small steps! Price: 10/10 I do not know how much it costs back then, but I am certain it is well worth the money Overall: 10/10 A classic Lego at its best. Less is more indeed. My photobucket link

I wish Lego would come out a power function box set with:- IR Remote IR receiver XL motor Medium motor Wires battery pack some wiring and gears enough to motorized any creator/city/space/technic/power miners set. I am sure ppl will buy 2-3 sets just to fully motorized the 8880, 8448 or even the latest 8258.

There's a video on Youtube showing someone fully motorizing the Wheel loader with Remote control name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>"> name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350">Darn it, after watching this video I now want BOTH the 8258 and 8265!!

I am very very curious to know just how much space 1000 battle packs would take up Can you please take of picture of it all? Lego really ought to give an option to purchase 500 stormies or more, like 1 BIG box full of helmets, another full of torsos, another full of legs etc.

Bought the following for RM 260 / about USD 72 from a collector:- Grievous fighter Sith Infiltrator (the new one,7663) Clone battle pack (with speeder bike and turret) Droid battle pack (4 B1s, 3 Supers) Imperial dropship

You join Eurobricks forum and read every SINGLE review on this site You dig up your storeroom, look in every box to look for the smallest Lego part in storage. You wish you can dig up your other storeroom which is too full of stuff coz you believe there are more Lego trap in there You check the price of the set you wish to have in USD, GBP, DK, AUD and RM to get a brief idea on how much you need to spend to get that set You go to Peeron and download the parts list and instructions to rebuild your old sets You create an inventory of all the missing parts to your sets and vow that you will restore the sets to its full glory using Bricklink to purchase the missing parts You constantly scan Ebay, the local flea market, local forum for amazing deals on Lego You make impulse purchases on rare sets like 8448 when it was going cheap and someone out of the blue was letting it go :guilty: You ALWAYS check out the Lego section in the mall/shopping complex/departmental store that you are in I think that sums up a typical collector

I think by the time they have figured out how to make the whole LA boom work and rotate AND able to extend the outriggers, the gearhead in charge suffered a PHD (Permanent Head Damage) and will only be sane enough to work on the next Technic model. So Lego had no choice but to make do with the model as it is. Sounds plausible? If we want it fully automated, then it will have:- 3 LAs, one for the 1st boom, 1 for the 2nd boom, and 1 for the telescopic boom. 1 set of gears, pulleys and shafts to connect to the 3 LAs 1 set of gears to make the whole crane rotate 1 Pulley to drive winch 1 set of gears to deploy the outriggers 1 other set of gears to further deploy the outriggers and 1 massive gearbox connected to a motor to motorized all the above Any sane person will go crazy just thinking about it! But to me, definitely a must have! Cannot wait for a review in English here.

I found a 8258 review!! .. but not in English unfortunately. The reviewer's video on . Looking at the photos, the gearbox is insanely complicated

I really hope they re-release the Bulldozer or produce another set similar in features to it. The bulldozer you get:- 2 nos of IR sensors! 2 nos of XL motors! 2 nos of small motors! With remote to boot! The only other set with the remote, IR sensor, XL motor and small motor is the Creator Dino set, so a Technic set with overflowing IR sensors and motors is long due. (or Lego can just release an IR set with XL motors, I know you guys want dozens of those )

There's an ad for the 8258 Crane Truck on . Boy it is BIG!!

Awesome!! I always wondered how a 6-stud wide Shell Tanker would be. Anyway, Lego Shell tankers have come a long way from the mid 80s tankers. The set below is 6695 from the year 1984.

I think asking for a full camo-green Lego tank with spring loaded gun is definetely a no-no. But if we are asking for an Agents bright blue colored tank against say, another evil (Dr. Tanker?) villain in his super-awesome demolisher bright orange tank maybe there is still a chance. I mean if we can have a Bat-tank, what's to stop an Agents-tank? I believe all of you want a realistic military tank in some way or another, be it a City type tank or a full blown Technic masterpiece (very very unlikely). So asking Lego for an Agents tank with spring cannons (like the bat-tank?) and flik fire missiles and threads like the crawler crane is the best way I think we can get a military tank. The tank is going against Dr. Tanker, not innocent civilians. We already have our giant robot of death, now its time for a giant tank to crush ppl under our threads! Lego can and have the capability to build a fully functional Technic tank with gearbox, engine, 360 rotating turret, spring loaded cannon, full racks of flick fire missiles and automation only an expert MOC can dream of (with pneumatic, LA, lights, sound), just that Lego decided not to make one due to their company policy. To me I think they dun really need a military theme to make a great set, as some of the sets have shown; agents, star wars etc. There is enough violence in those fantasy realms already, no need to bring them to the Lego CITY; or rather the high number of police shows how Lego City really is P.S: If you want a "Lego" tank, Megablocks did make an M1 Abrams and Leopard tank with about 500 pieces. Those Chinese and Korean clones also produce a military theme, as if they are cashing in on the theme which Lego refuse to make. So there are choices out there if you want a military Lego.

I don't know it was a coincidence or what, but after you posted your review someone on my Lowyat forum which I frequent put his 8448 for sale. Needless to say, bought it right away With box, instructions and 99.999999% all the pieces. Not 100% coz I have yet to find the last missing piece (maybe wrongly built somewhere ) Anyway, spending the whole day rebuilding it, with my fingers hurting from all reconstruction due to errors, it is an amazing car! You don't need a Ferrari licensee to make your red coloured sports car sleek and fast; this car proves it. I did the Gull-wing doors alt model and the doors open quietly and smoothly, just like a real gull-wing would. Now my car is sitting on my shelf with its engine in the rear (yes, the engine can be placed in the rear or the front!) . To contribute to this thread here is the arrangement of the boxes when you open the flap. There are box 1 to 8 and the 4 wheels. A plus point is that instead od numbered BAGS, we get numbered boxes which can be reused! The first booklet you'll do 1 to 5 The second one gets interesting, telling you where to head to to build the alt models. It is also at this time you will do the last 3 large boxes (and there is ALOT of parts from then on) The other 4 alts are: 1) Concept car with pop-up door 2) Racer with pop-up engine bay 3) Hot rod with pop-up rear bucket/missile launcher?.. something like that 4) Buggy with pop-up door Basically for the last 4 they only tell you how to do the pop-up mechanism. You have to to look at the pictures in the manual to guess how to design and install the bodywork. They could have printed a 3rd book for the 4 models. I hope the above pictures will benefit this thread.

Hi, have a few sets I want to review that has not been reviewed yet, including 1 old set (w/o instructions ). Have the skills to post a review, but want to learn the finer points. Can I join?

I agree with you Running a server to host a forum like Eurobricks need money (as in real life ones, not those used in Lego Town or to pay tax to King Leo or pay summons to the Space police) and it can get expensive to provide high speed access to the site as well as keeping the servers running at full capacity. Not to mention to pay ppl to keep it up and running. Junk posts or irrelevant threads will only eat up previous resources on the server which would be better off storing reviews, discussions about coming sets, pictures of Lego, MOC pictures etc. Not to mention it will push the relevant threads to the bottom. Also, it is essential to have people post in proper, readable English as that would make everyone who visit this site easy to understand what is posted. People won't get offended if the post is constructive and at the same time worthwhile to read. EB is a mature forum I can see, and people rarely engage in all out flame war unless maybe it is a fantasy battle thread

Managed to get a used MIB Super Street Sensation 8448 for about RM 820.00, which turns out about USD 225, inclusive of shipping Man, even in the box, this thing is a beauty! Can't wait to start working on it

Great review!! I remember all these road signs, used to play them with the road baseplates But instead of Lego cars, was using the Lego baseplates for matchbox and hot wheel cars Then the runway baseplate for highway and the circular helipad for runabout I still have some of the signs, but some are broken while others are on the verge of breaking if I am not careful.

Taking the quote from the Shop at home site I soooo want this set. I wonder how much it will cost though, I really hope it is less than RM 1000. But since it is having a HUGE piece count of 1800+ pieces, it could be higher It would be very interesting to see how the power functions operate that crane thing.

In the 1989 catalogs in the introduction of space police shows Blacktron doing the infamous Monorail heist. They even captured 1 yellow space guy !! (lying on the floor smiling on the 2nd page). At the same time SP1 responds to the heist and summons all units. First page: http://www.dukenostalgia.com/Lego/1989usa/...89usa_pg11.html Second page: http://www.dukenostalgia.com/Lego/1989usa/...89usa_pg12.html So could we see a new monorail heist set?

Checking Peeron, the printed 1x2 panels really only appear in this set; didn't know the panel is so rare. As for the 2x2 shell tile, the other set it appear in is the Metro Park and Service Tower, where there are 2 tiles on the wall and column in the set. I believe that the reason the minifigure is a generic Legoman is because to keep the cost under 2 dollars, Lego did not take the additional step of printing the torso of the Legoman. But the sacrifice was worth it I don't know how it ended like that Must be years of play,years of storage? Throughout my dark ages the parts were all scattered and buried under other Lego parts in large containers. But still, at least the wheels can still turn.

INDEXED Hello all, this will be my first review on Eurobricks forum Would like to start with a small impulse set my parents bought for me back in 88; 6503 Sprint Racer. Lego number: 6503 Name of set: Sprint Racer Year released: 1988 Number of parts (according to Peeron): 27 Price: On Bricklink it is about $2.50 dollars. Anyway, here is the box art of the set courtesy of Peeron The instructions from what I can see online I believe is 1 long piece of paper with double sided printing. Here is a random instruction page (from PICSL) Even for such a small impulse set, Lego thought of alternate models!! I wonder if the new impulse sets have alternate models nowadays (pic from PICSL) As for parts, rare parts include the printed Shell tiles for the rear wing and number 1 on the slope. The yellow vehicle base I saw is only available in the sets that have small F1 cars (such as Victory raceway). The red 4x4 plate on the yellow vehicle base, could not get it off Also there is 1 1x2 black plate under the handle tile which I forgot to remove. My tires look worn after years in storage and play. Once built, the number 1 and the Shell wing stands out. The front wing has a smooth 1x2 tile to represent the nose of the car. From the side, the racer looks abit aerodynamic with the slopes rising from the front to the rear. The handle tile acts like a backrest for the driver and the tile with grille shows where the engine is. For the minifigure, it is a standard Lego blue torso with no decals or patterns whatsoever. The head is classic smiley and the legs are blue. Also have a white helmat with blue visor This set came out in 1988, at the time where Lego produced Shell petrol stations, Shell oil tankers and with this, Shell F1 car. The Shell motif is everywhere on this car, from the yellow vehicle base with red trim in the middle and white on top, to the Shell printed tiles on the wing. Its too bad such a car don't exist anymore and even if it does, it will have a HUGE DSS as seen in the new Lego Ferraris. Sure they are big, but they are more to collectors with little play value and I highly doubt it can last 20 years of play by a child and in storage with pieces all over the place. Marketing possibilities? During F1 races, Lego can sell these small impulse sets in the Ferrari booth or at the circuit or at the petrol station (buy petrol, buy impulse set at discounted rate?). Since it is so cheap Ferrari fans will buy them. Side by side comparison with a Shell Ferrari F2008 (coincidentally 20 years after this sprint racer was released). The the F1 Ferrari was bought during the Shell Ferrari promotion, where if you pump roughly RM 40 of Petrol you can buy this car with some gimmick for roughly RM 8. Edit: Added in price.
