That I am properly excited for; but that's also quite a bit of coin as always

Too bad this probably doesn’t match in size to either the Ecto 1 or the Ford GT I’m building now.

But I’ll still buy it hah ha.

Kiddo picked this up for me today:

For some reason Amazon has the F&F Skyline up for "preorder", and also at $19.99 right now. Gonna snag another one to keep unbuilt. Even tho I still haven't built my other one yet either

Target has them for the same price and in stock

 

[IDAFC21]

Yeah the preorder thing is just weird. Already got the 1 tho, so I prefer this over setting foot in a target.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Oh target was free shipping

The Solus GT was more fun to build than I thought it would be.

Another F1 race, another car built! Knocked out the Lotus today

I don't hate it, but there are still things I don't like about it. That rear spoiler just looks unfinished to me


Ummmm, I guess you can go here for now

Does anyone else HAVE to build the entire set in one sitting? Built the 2023 Camaro today, and find myself locked in and have to finish once starting. Edited to include shitty cellphone pic

 

[IDAFC21]

I mostly just build speed champions, so its quite easy to finish those in one sitting. Only one I definitely didnt do in one sitting was my technic mclaren F1 car

I used to complete the set once started, no matter the size/piece count but tried a step a day approach to the Ford GT and find it to be okay.

I feel the same way on the car. The way the accent line is up the window, or the skateboard on the back. Maybe a 1x3 or 1x5 tile would help?

I build those Icon buildings and the creator expert cars typically over the course of a week or so; but yea, I don't like NOT finishing the speed champions in a single sitting in fear my daughter will borrow loose parts for other things.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

We usually do the speed champions in two parts just because it takes some time with my daughter doing them. We finished the first bag on the skyline yesterday. Might try and knock out the other half tonight.

One thing I do like is how they handled the air intakes on the sides. They're nice and open. Something I feel they couldve done a little better on the Ford GT in the GT/Bronco set
