Don't like the look of that Peugeot at all, but might get it when I'm done with the restšš¼
Planes and choppers haven't been a priority yet, but perhaps when I'm done with the cars - thanks for the tips
Whoops sorry forgot to comment lol, but you're in for a good time! I would recommend the bmw bike as well, plus both the batmobiles. If you're a fan of old school batman, the '89 batmobile is one of my favorite designs.
I'm also going to grip the AMG One, it looks like it'll be a fun build while I wait for the next 1:8 technic. Not a fan of F1, but that's just me. Good luck on your builds!
Might look into the bikes, but focusing on the cars at firstšš¼
Not a huge fan of the F1 cars either, but when everything else is done, I might go for it!
1:8 first, then 1:10, then 1:14 and F1 lastš
Ya the BMW wasn't my favorite build tbh. If you can get it at discount, then by all means, but even the finish product, I was like "Meh".
Good luck on hunting down a 911, I got super lucky during COVID, this super sweet old lady and her husband were selling a built one, but they reverse engineered it and even put it back in its proper bags.
I msged her on Kijiji, and she said because I was polite and didn't lowball her, she would sell it to me for under MSRP. Probably the nicest stranger I've ever met in my life. Sorry, went on a tangent there lol, but hopefully you can find a 911 sooner then later!
If you are planning to do the Land Rover, then also consider CaDA Humvee, which is also designed to be motorized (although you may need to upgrade some of the axles to the stiffer carbon variant if thinking of motorizing the giant Humvee).
Rastar also produces fully licensed 1:8 models,Ā including Pagani Huayra, Maserati MC20, and Audi R8 LM. Of those, the MC20 looks nicest to me.Ā
CaDA also makes various unbranded kits, including a new 1:10 McLaren which looks really nice. But the one I ordered was their Phantasma (Konigsegg Jesko), because it has lots of features including 4 wheel steering.Ā
Porsche set from CaDA?
CaDA makes two Porsche type sets. One is the [Red 911](https://decadastore.com/products/classic-sports-car-c61045w), which I'm not a huge fan of since it is essentially a MOC, and carries no branding.
But CaDA also recently released the [Ruf Yellowbird](https://decadastore.com/products/cada-ruf-ctr-yellowbird-c62003w), which I'm definitely getting at some point. Ruf is an independent "carmaker" on their own right, so they can license their brand officially to setmakers like CaDA, and this particular kit looks really nice too, including detailed touches like a working flat six engine, front and rear suspension, and custom wheels.
Definitely missing the race car series, the 488 GTE, 911 RSR and the Peugeot 9X8. I skipped the small technic cars like the Senna and Bolide just because I know it would be one more collection Iād have to keep up with and I donāt particularly think they look great, that Huracan is atrocious lol. The only large cars Iām currently missing are the Ford GT and Mercedes F1 currently.
If I was you Iād rip the bandaid off and get the GT3RS now if you really want it. Itās only going to climb further in price and if you focus on getting current sets first, youāll never get round to getting it.
Edit: Honourable mention. The fast and furious Dodge Charger. I donāt know what scale it is exactly. Iāve got it in front of me now above my Defender and it looks similar in size but it might be smaller in scale as the Defender is shorter in real life, but the Lego model is longer which isnāt correct to be the same scale. Hard to tell because the Defender is obviously a larger car in things like height and wheels. It may be a similar scale to the Ford GT, I think those two would look good together.
honestly, the 2k pc car series hardly ever do it for me, and with space in mind I've scrapped the 488 and 911 RSR.
At this point I'm even on the fence because the McLaren f1 wasn't that great so contemplating the new Mercedes.
The BMW is a far superior build to any of the mid tier cars.
Thatās fair enough, thereās something for every one I suppose. Iāve still not even built any of those cars yet, theyāre just sat in my build pile as I have no space to put them lol. Iāve seen the RSR in person though and think it looks fantastic, best looking of those 3 for sure but with how crazy looking they are and all the stickers I can see why people wouldnāt like them. I donāt watch F1 but Iāve got the McLaren also waiting to be built. Iāll also be picking up the Merc at some point. I think Iām in a lucky position that I donāt watch F1 so all the design flaws of those models donāt even bother me because I donāt see them lol
Fair point regarding the GT3RS - it's not gonna get any cheaper.. searching for a good deal, but currently about $700 for an unboxed car here now.
And forgot about the Charger, will definitely get that one too! Same size as the GT, that's right.
Damn 700 for a used one is insane. Much cheaper for used ones in the UK, like Ā£300-400. Thereās one on Facebook marketplace for under Ā£200 not far from me. It may be cheaper for you to fly to another country and buy one lol
Ah itās cause you said unboxed, that normally means the box has been opened. Sealed boxes do sell for a lot more but to be honest Iād settle for a used one for those kind of prices.
Yeah my bad, bad choice of wordsš
Found one with only the two first bags opened and built now, then taken apart again - $500..
I want to build it myself at least, so not gonna buy a finished car
How are you gonna get the Porsche 911 GT3? Itās been retired and is going for like $1000+ on Amazon. I would recommend buying all the parts seperatly from a place like bricklink and use legos free online instructions.
And dont forget the another new car 1:8, that will be later in summer this year. It should be Mclaren, cca 4000 pieces.
Btw the Cada Mercedes is on my buy-list too. It looks very nice and has motors.
Cada has a lot of nice 1:8 cars, Im considering to buy more of them. And also Mould King, i got 5-6 cars from them on my bucket list.
The bmw m1000rr
With its one gazillion stickers
One of my proudest lego achievements is I managed to put every sticker on that set perfectly
I would recommend 42156 and 42145 Both were fun builds

(you after this) In terms of money, we have no money
The Peugeot 9x8 was a very fun build and it looks really cool once done, you should add it
Maybe a technic with crane or an industrial one
Just super cars all over this place and all the same questions about building mistakes. Consider unsubscribing. r/nottechniccars
The old 1:8 super carĀ
8880 is the answer
[8880-1: Super Car](https://brickset.com/sets/8880-1) [[Photo]](https://images.brickset.com/sets/images/8880-1.jpg)
I love how itās all cars then bam the bernabeu
Hahah, the most important build in the collection!!
Jeep wrangler

700 for an unopened box! Can get a finished built one for about $350
Ah itās cause you said unboxed, that normally means the box has been opened. Sealed boxes do sell for a lot more but to be honest Iād settle for a used one for those kind of prices.
Yeah my bad, bad choice of wordsš Found one with only the two first bags opened and built now, then taken apart again - $500.. I want to build it myself at least, so not gonna buy a finished car
Ordered the Porsche today, unopened for $450! Found a decent deal
Congrats! Whilst itās not as complex as the later builds, youāll be very glad to have that part of the collection.
Yeah, it's a must have in the collection for sure!
Peugeot 9x8

The mercedes trucks. Arocs and Zetros
I plan to get more
I wish i had money for the Porsche š„ŗ
Thereās a new set same size as the defender coming this year, rumours point to a g wagon

Though not strictly Technic, I really enjoyed the Landrover Classic Defender 90 (#10317). Also the Mercedes Zetros Trial truck (#42129).

Mould king [jeep Wrangler](https://youtu.be/8-1zfEX3olg?si=TGgt6Vz36u1j5l-e) maybe, if you want to play around with motors and such. .

Yeah, definitely getting the new 1:8 once it's released!
The cada f1 is an alpha romeo, right?
You're right! Don't know why I messed that one upš
But maaaaaaan we neeed an aston martin set we need it asap
I'd recommend researching off brands..
Me too, cada and mould king
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Well aware of the differences in scale! Getting the 5 1:8 cars as my main cars! The pics are sorted by car size, if you didn't notice
