    That seems high, even for AUD. It's $399 in the US. It does have a working gearbox, which seems very cool: https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a40103441/lego-technic-ferrari-daytona-sp3/

    But to be honest, I'm not into the Technic kits. Building with Lego bricks is one thing, you don't expect it to look realistic, because it's made with bricks. However with the Technic kits, there's lots of custom made parts, so I feel the models could (and should) be made to look more realistic. But they look like something Pablo Picasso designed to me instead. Hence I've never bought a Technic kit and probably never will.

    It is high.

    So do the other recent Technic supercars (911 GT3, Chiron & Sian) and, in fact, they had working gearboxes in the Technic supercar models of the '80s!

    I hear you, however I have noticed that there has been a trend to parts that can be reused in other models and so they aren't just custom for the particular model which certainly seemed to be the case some time ago.

    Not exactly a scale car but two scale F1 drivers. Funko released these little Lewis and Valtteri, and I couldn't resist bringing them home! :D

    Cool. Do you already have the custom Senna one you posted about before?

    No, this little Senna is not made by Funko but by a small Brazilian company copying Funko's style. I didn’t find the way to buy it from Brazil :unsure:

    I'm surprised Funko would make the Mercedes drivers (including Bottas) and not other legendary drivers like Senna, Lauda and Schumi etc. Or even other contemporary F1 drivers. Must be a Mercedes connection I think. ;)

    I did notice a Mario Andretti Funko Pop though.

    Cool. But as an actual Mustang owner, I simply can not buy anything Camaro on principal (even a Heuer Camaro)!

    I saw this had been launched. It doesn't really float my boat even though I have the Mustang.

    I really want the Back to the Future time machine model but it keeps going out of stock!

    I’ve only got a few models, the tower is all Porsche and are some of my favourite Porsche’s from over the years or car models I’ve owned.

    My mates had a 1:18 GT3 painted to match my car and the case custom made. The M Coupe is the 1:18 of another of my cars, and can’t get a 1:18 of my Atom as I’d have one of them too.

    It’s the closest I’m getting to multiple Porsche’s these days.

    This was the last one I added to the tower and of course by far my favourite….that @Mspeedster i’m sure will agree with.
