Bricks reviews 21307 Caterham Seven 620R

Everything is printed? I must be dreaming.

Quotes from the other article:
"...the main challenge had been to ensure that the model was sufficiently robust. He told attendees that every LEGO set, even those specifically aimed at AFOLs, has to undergo play testing by children to ensure it can stand up to the rigours of play..."

"Carl’s only real regret was that steering, which was included in his original design, did not make it into the final model. This was because it would have made the model too fragile to pass LEGO quality review, and therefore had to be left out."

Regarding that, I wonder how the connection of the angled nose piece got approved. In this video (5:02, 6:52) it seems to come loose very easily.

Wow. I must have had my head up my boot, I didn't connect in the first images of this how large this was. (I missed it in its earlier Ideas stages and therefore kept thinking it was more Ecto scaled). But seeing that it is so big, more in line with the larger vehicles, I'm thrilled with the price. I was already thrilled with the car and concept, but the price is NICE.

Everything is printed!
Everything is cool when there's no sticker seam!
Everything is printed, I must be living the dream!

@BeaR the Builder: I've seen a lot of comments to that effect, but to me it seems fairly understandable. Obviously not all parts are going to be attached to Lego sets in such a way that they can't easily detach. But the wheelbase of a car, unlike, say, the connection for the nose or the one-stud connections for the door handles, has to bear the weight of the entire car. Fiddly or weak connections, even if they were technically "legal", might not be able to support the car's weight over long periods on display.

@Donald trump will you be using printed pieces when you build that wall?

You'd think that after knocking it off for the fourth time he'd learn to stop picking it up by holding the nose section.

@Lyichir: fair point and, personally, I don't mind about the weak connection: I wouldn't be playing with it after all. But to specifically say that every set has to be able to withstand the rigours of play and then have the nose piece attached like this made me frown.

@Cortez: My thoughts exactly, haha!
