My new GT3-RS

... has a 575-page instruction book. This is going to take me and the boys quite awhile. But the working power-train (incl transmission) is damn impressive. The packaging itself is incredible.

Hopefully I'll get something a lot bigger in the future, but my TTS companion whip needs to actually be a manual NA convertible with a raucous exhaust sound, so a real-life GT3-RS is probably not it.

Nice. Are the instructions step by step with pictures? I saw this when they released it and wondered if it would be fun or maddening. I'll wait for you to complete the project before following suit.

That looks like a lot of fun. I see they are out of stock. Were you on the list or did you pay a premium (like for it's big brother)

My super-cool wife shopped around for my birthday and found that while all the online sources are out or have it for a premium, there's lots where a Porsche owner would likely never think to go... the Lego store at the mall. They had several.

What's the "big borther"? The millennium falcon that had 5000-ish pieces? I'm intrigued!

So awesome! Everyone I know wants one. You can order it on Lego.com now for $299! There are so many cool ones. My Kid loves em. The GT3RS is a real intricate work of art though.

I have been thinking about picking one of these up- they look amazing. If you put it together I'd be very curious to know how long it takes!

there are a few you tube vids about it explaining build times etc. the most common complaint is that you spend so much time building the mechanics only to cover them up to not be seen

I'm not especially fast, but I've been averaging approximately 1-2 minutes per page... so perhaps 7-10 hours in total?
