I plan to build the Williams this weekend but I'm torn about the stickers - do I wait for aftermarket ones which include the tobacco and booze brands which Lego have omitted?
Have you ordered them? They popped up on my Instagram feed last week.

No, I probably won't bother. I don't like applying stickers at all if I can avoid it, but it would look wrong without. I'll just use the Lego ones.

With the other F1 Speed Champions and Technic, it wouldn't surprise me tbh, use the Icons to sell us classics, and SC/Technic for current branding options.

Bit late to the party on this one but wifey getting me the Ferrari SP3 for my birthday in a month or two. Looking forward to making a mistake in the construction, haven’t had any new Lego for a couple of years.

Has anyone bought wider wheels for the McLaren MP4/4? The ones on eBay seem mixed quality.

Through a combination of blanket inability to get Lego spares here without waiting for nine years, and a heap of stacked discounts, I just bought a second Williams pretty much entirely to have the rear wheels. :lol:

There's some $$ in there, plenty of the larger sets. I'd be dangerous if I had that kinda space :lol:
