As far as I know, release date is indeed March 1st.
Fantastic sculpting of the car all around.
Or is it just compared to the mustang because I do agree, the mustang looks great!
And this set is light years ahead of that first weird-sized Volkswagon Beetle!
The 60s Mustangs have been one of my favorite cars since I was a boy as well. And the blue color scheme is absolutely perfect.
In German, but Google Translate does an OK(ish) job.
Functional steering confirmed. Looks like another excellent job by designer Mike Psiaki.
Since Promobricks was kicked out of the LAN they have become lawless. LEGO can't really do much about it if their info, images, and sets are legitimately obtained. It was a mistake ostracising them.
Probably the more appropriate people to direct any annoyance at (and likely who LEGO will go after next) are the people selling early. If no one was selling ahead of announcements etc then Promobricks would have no way to get ahead of those playing by LEGO's rules.
That said I don't ever visit their site, just pick up the odd nugget of info people repost here.
If I were Promobricks I'd do exactly the same, they are not at fault here.
Whole click-thirsty thing going around past year or so is really annoying
So you're saying there is a chance...!?!
From TLG viewpoint, it will be same as producing 4 completely different products (assuming 4 coloured versions). The instructions will be different, packing of parts different, box different etc.
Plus 4 times the production capacities needed, which is better utilised for 4 uniquely different products.
In short, it will never happen. The best option would be to go buy 4 sets, then bricklink the needed surface colour parts.
The My Own Train line was pretty cool... but TLG confused the Shop-At-Home customers by offering too many other additional items that could be used with it. It got very confusing to figure out what to order.
The color possibilites... (with the same exact box)...

If they were to do this with the Ford Mustang.... they could use the same box for all the sets, with only a color label mentioning the color on the side, instead of including this on the box... like they did My Own Train sets.
I am working on adding the 2001-2018 9V/RC/PF trains to my LEGO Collectors Guide, and this had me scratching my head for a while on what was going on here... ;-)
I guess the bottom line is that Albert Einstein was right....
;-)
Also it is doubtful all the right pieces are available in other colors. The big wedges might have been in dark green in Asoka's starfighter years back but I don't think they are a current part. It would be interesting to see what color swaps would be possible.
Helps explain why my nickname on Eurobricks is "Older than ABS"! :-O
