    Hi, Everyone. I have been lurking here for awhile. I am not an F Car owner but I do have a great love of Ferrari's and anything automotive. I am the General Manager of one of the larget Corvette dealers in the country. I have this Lego Ferrari collection behind my desk. Ferrari is the only car that I could even imagine getting away with on my desk doing what I do. Many of the customers are amazed at these models and also express there love for the F Cars. I have been building Lego since I was a boy growing up in England. Both of my sons love lego so they get me these for my Birthdays etc.

    Carl

    Yeah I can't remember the kit number but I had one growing up that had a gear box and working suspension etc. It was a rolling lego chassis.

    Welcome aboard! I love your collection, the transporter with the cars in it is especially cool. Always got to find ways to keep work enjoyable.

    Nice colllection, I picked up a F430C car this weekend, the Lego kits are growing on me.

    Did the 08 Z06 recieve a gas guzzler tax with the new fuel economy standards? I couldnt tell from the picture of the Z06 window sticker :)

    Lego has a new 1:8 599 that I saw in the lego store last week. Doesn't look too bad either, at least better than the Enzo model.

    I have the 430 Challenge car set. I love it, its on my bookshelf. That transporter is pretty cool, I havent seen that before. I'll have to look into getting that. I've been a big fan of Legos ever since I was a little kid. I actually still have mine in the attic. I highly doubt I'll ever sell/give them away. Anyways, welcome to the site!

    The newer Legos seem to be getting better distribution...I have seen both the street and Challenge 430s at the local stores.....


    On a Corvette note, my friend that's a custom sign painter does a very nice "Wrap your azz...." airbrush shirt....Google 'Troy's Signs' they have an eBay store you can order one...they can put whatever model you have on it.

    Or, if you are ever downtown in Smackover, AR.......the red 'Vette out front of the place is his wife Ellen's......

    Hello Carl,


    you are a great enthusiast of Lego Ferrari, like me and many others.

    Your Ferrari collection is nice. But imagine you would have something special, outstanding within these cars? A brandnew Lego Ferrari 458 Italia with Power Functions, full remote control and LED lights? You would be the one and only owner of this unique piece of Lego!

    Its my passion to create any good looking special moc - cars. I`m planning to create some more custom build models like the 288 GTO and the F40 e.g.

    Look at this:

    Please comment if you like it.

    Thanks for your attention!

    This F1 LEGO 1:1 scale model was very impressive indeed (349 911 bricks, 567kg, 750h), took a short video of it during my visit in the Ferrari Museum Maranello:

    New Ferrari 488 GTE revealed !!!

    Many years after the iconic Lego Ferrari F40 comes this big scale stunner.

    I'll be at the LEGO store on the first day of 2021 to buy mine.

    Well, it's odd that you should ask......:D
    Actually as the link to BrickLink shows just about ALL of them are available "somewhere"..
    I am liquidating a big pile:

    8461
    8143
    8185 (That's the Truck Transporter) may be SOLD
    2556 (Have two)

    And then what I call "Shell/Ferrari Town set"
    It has:
    1251
    1252
    1253
    1254
    1255 (only have one, out of the box)
    1256

    I do have multiples of some of those but could only build one "Full Set", so they are hard to find sometimes.

    After the first Reviews on the Lego 488 GTE is was really disappointed. Build-Quality, parts and style are really not good. On top of that you have to big papers of stickers. My decision therefore was the CADA C61042W (Italian Super Car). Same price, more parts, better build quality, RC Motors, LED Lights, 4 Gear transmission.

    So ended up buying this last week to add to my LEGO car collection.
    Lucky I got one, they sold out the store stock within 24 hours.

    I'm working on some custom Lego builds that I hope to unveil by the end of the year. Fingers crossed.
