Finally put my VIP membership to good use and bought it today:-) I love automobiles, first love second only to LEGO…lol…..Can’t wait to build this.
Now since they have Porsche on board, they should do a Creator 959 since that and the F40 were built specifically for Group B racing. It’d be awesome to have them side by side on a shelf.
That’s actually a really good idea! 😀
Sweet! Let us know how you like it! 🙂
I just saw my friend’s brother (who lives one block down) ride by on his bike!
Okay… is that a good thing or a bad thing? 🙄
Its VERY good because i have a crush on his sister she is in my class
LOL! 😀
So there wasn’t any Ferrari Lego set in the past? I feel like I remember one. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
There were many, I don’t fully understand your question. Perhaps you heard something in the video that suggested this was the first time, but there were quite a few ex.

There have been. There was a series called Racers that featured a couple of Ferraris, an Enzo and a 599 as well as a few F1 cars.
TheBrickLot and Eggert1, thanks. The Racers set was the one I was thinking of!
