The Mercedes AMG looks pretty cool. Should complement my McLaren. But I am getting the Senna Honda for sure. Just wish it was a proper technic model.

I have recently got into legos especially speed champions sets and Technic sets but the problem i find is they are highly overpriced here in India.

Where can I buy the Senna McLaren from in India?

Naice, just today I helped my son complete the Ferrari 812 Competizione set.

Those M4 GT3 and the M Hybrid V8 look fantastic! I have been an ardent follower of the Speed Champions series of LEGO. So far, I’m able to collect sizable number of cars, 52 in total. My son meticulously maintains this section of our garage.

I have got a custom display unit specifically made to store them.



One specific model which is still elusive, is the 1974 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.0 (LEGO 75895). I hope I will be able to find one good deal someday for that.



I wish the new range comes with printed bricks instead the stickers. The stickers on the older cars are pain to maintain and start to peel off after couple of years. I have tried contacting LEGO for replacement stickers but have not been successful in getting any. Alternatively, I'm planning to print them on good quality vinyl papers, but it’s very difficult find the good resolution OEM sticker image file.

Very impressive collection and display that. You can get parts from BrickLink - there are some good stores in India and build the missing model and you can get stickers too!
