the only thing i hate about off brand products like that is that i have to create a new account and sync them. i guess the good thing about your product is that they come with a remote and i don't need to sign up a new account i'll never remember the login for.

Yah but you sign up. Sync the dumb thing and then delete the app after you integrated it into Google home. 15 bucks for 2!!! The savings outweigh your inconvenience

That type of thing for a remote AND an alp used to be $150+
That price is crazy, I’ll probably buy a couple just because lol

I think the complaints of the model had been the rear tires aren't wider. Some ppl are 3D printing wider rears to make it look better. Right now it looks like a F3 car.

Aye that’s a nitpick but it’s also made out of legos so people should shut the fuck up. It looks great on your desk !

Before NSX prices went into the stratosphere and my dream of owning one died, I used to be on the NSX Prime group on FB and it was extremely annoying how much Senna masturbation NSX owners do.
Like what a bunch of simps, the guy literally tells Honda's engineers their car is a wet noodle piece of shit to drive and they set about fixing it based on his condemnations and owners are like "SENNA IS GOD" for the rest of time.

I dunno, that doesn't seem like a $90 lego model to me.
Seems like $30 worth of Lego and $60 worth of Mclaren branding.

That was always my hesitation with the set I’ve almost bought it multiple times.
Hobz build makes it look better than the box but it still looks kinda cheapo

I don’t think it’s cheapo at all. It’s quite nicely engineered for a Lego set. Much better than their x wing or tie fighter sets I bought.

 Lego Model Team 5540 Formula 1 Racer by Taekyu Lee, on Flickr
I dunno, I had this one as a kid (apprently 1986). It just seems so much more substantial.
Actually I still have it today, but it got absorbed into the giant pile of the rest of my son's Legos.

LEGO is fucking expensive... they know adults have disposable income so they come out with increasingly larger and more expensive sets.
It's hard to see the scale from Badhobz' pictures, but the finished model is slightly longer than your standard ruler. $85 is a decent price for this set.

Lego has always been expensive but they sure didn’t pump out sets like they do now. It’s hard to keep up. All the speed champions are crap imo. The ideas/icons are really nice for the price. technic super cars are engineering masterpieces, I don’t think I’ve ever seen them go on sale.

while they still sell buckets of plain lego, most are intricate well designed or licensed sets.
one of the things growing up as a kid was using lego and my imagination and building stuff, takign it apart and building something else.
these days while yes my kids have lots of expensive minecraft sets, much are mixed together where it's impossible to find all the specific parts to rebuild them. but they get to use creativity to build whatever, even though it sucks that the set itself is lost... but i think that's the only way to let kids use their imagination.
where as some of my own sets, i put them on display b/c i don't want them to be lost in the abyss of the giant lego box.

This is what I think is the main problem with modern lego, the sets are basically all build once and then basically just display. The pieces of these sets are so specialized you can't really use them for anything else.
That race car I had as a kid could be rebuilt into a couple other things like a plane and something else. I remember most of my sets as a kid could build into multiple things.

You can always sell them after. I see people listing complete but once-built sets for not much less than retail.

And borderline impossible to replace. With the regular pieces you can look in the instructions (or download the instructions if you lost them) and look up the part number for that piece and buy it for pretty cheap from a bunch of places. But the specialized pieces that are only used in a set or two you're hooped.
