I guess this is what came from the Top Gear deal?

    Meh. The cars are ok but it looks like a whole lot of stickers.

    Exactly. Meh. A shame.

    Thanks for sharing though.

    I'm not usually attracted to the cars, but these look great! The stickers though... :o(

    The Porsche 918, is probably the best one and it uses so few stickers! I usually hate stickers but i love these little cars, a few must haves in there.

    Those 911's! I don't normally like new overstickered models, but whow. I gotta have that set.

    Are all of the windscreens new?

    So disappointing, I thought the 911 set was going to be a full size one like the past Ferraris and Lambos.

    While I'm not fond of the stickers I still think these look awesome.

    Pretty much what I was expecting... They're not too bad overall...

    Are we ever going to ever get close to #8169 or #8214?

    I love them and, not being a huge car fanatic, they look fairly accurate to me. The Porches and the 458 Italia are must haves!

    A lot of these are my thoughts. While I am very happy to have minifig scale supercars (not "UCS", Technics, tiny turbo, etc), I am a little disappointed by the designs. They are, overall recognisable, but a little generic - ie, look at the LaFerrari and the 458 - the only difference I could see was a bit at the nose, despite being quite distinct cars.
    Obviously, I'm disappointed with the quantity of stickers, and I'm hoping (beyond hope) that the minifigs aren't also stickered.

    I really hope this theme takes off and the theme evolves, with a greater variety of brands and better designs, because I really like the idea of minifig scale licensed cars.

    I know they can only really sell supercars (because that's what's attractive to kids), but I'd love to see a huge variety of cars and types of cars. I'd love to see a 'classic cars' line with iconic cars from all time periods, but that's probably just a pipe dream. :-)

    And also, is it just me, or does the McLaren have a snowboard as a spoiler?

    Edit: And also, they all look as though they have new 'hubcap' pieces. I wonder whether these are just snap-on discs or whether they are new moulds for the actual wheel hub.

    ^ It does indeed have a snowboard as a spoiler, which works in my opinion.

    I think some classic cars would be plausible, perhaps some sports cars from the past (a DB5 would be amazing) are a possibility if the theme catches on.

    ^ :)
    This theme will be very popular with children and car enthusiasts.....
    Even with a lot of stickers.

    The Truck and the Porsche GT finish line look interesting for MOC garage parts.
    I'm not so sure that I need the other cars though.
  • GallardoLUGallardoLU USAMember Posts: 644
    the more I look at this line up the more my wallet screams at me, I've already got a about 300 bucks in star wars must haves (UCS Slave I doing most of that damage) and now this Entire theme! gonna be a happy but broke new years ;)

    I think I will get the McLaren for my City layout but anything else we end up with will probably be due to my son wanting it.
