I wonder if we'll ever get a Formula E set again

I wonder if we'll ever get a Formula E set again

I know Lego doesn't really do Formula E sets aside from that early SC double pack and a couple of technic kits, but with Gen 4 now official I wonder if they'll consider doing at least one car.

I know it's not accurate to the real model but the McLaren Formula E car kinda looks better with bigger front wheels?

The smaller front wheels felt off somehow.

MOC-ing about with my kid's Duplo

Behold the Duplo flatbed truck + helicopter and the Duplo Land Rover

I know this set isn't too popular due to the basic pull-back function, but the panelling looks so clean on here

So I finished building the Ford GT today and found a use for two of the leftover pieces

So you know those two leftover dark blue pieces from the Ford GT kit? Turns out you can use them as door stoppers just so the doors feel a bit less wobbly when closed.

Building the Senna GT and Ford GT

**Senna GTR** I'm doing them on alternating days 😅

It's been a while since I've been this invested in Lego again, aside from the occasional set once every year.

Prior to this I only had the 6-wide Senna from a couple years back, although I rarely had time/funds to acquire other Champions kits at the time.

So earlier I did a post for an alternate bumper mod for the SF90 XX, which changed the appearance a bit for the sake of better durability. That said, if you wanted to keep the intended design but wanted to address the loose tile issue, you can try this instead.

Basically, you'll have to ditch the clip build which connects the tile and block combo to the car. Instead, use a 1x2 brick with a pin hole in the centre to connect to the block; also, replace the half-circle plate underneath with a standard 1x2 flat plate. You can then attach this under the central hood part, then seal it off with a couple of L plates.

Once they're all in place, the lose tile should ideally become "trapped" and stay put without unwanted rattling or falling off. This also aligns the tile and block with better stability, instead of the original clip method which tends to budge from side to side.

Finally built my second 8-wide kit with the Mercedez AMG twin pack. Always loved the general look of the Lego G Wagon BUT was not a fan of how the roof felt so flimsy with just the two-stud attachment, as well as the toothy look of the front edge of the roof.

That said, I flattened out the roof (the Technic version has a flat roof anyway) and added a bit more stud reinforcement on top of the windshield so the roof clips on much better.

Also for some reason, the spare tire on the rear hangs on a bit better if you move it a bit higher.

Hi everyone. I ordered a set recently from the official Lego website and apparently DPD still has not received my parcel. I find this a bit odd as I ordered a different set a couple of weeks earlier and it arrived earlier than expected (under 3 days). so with that in mind, I was just asking if anyone else is facing the same delays on their package at this time?

My Lego website tracking says that customs is still exchanging information, apparently.
