    Contraption with orange and white balls represent tuning light (magic eye tube) found on old radios, which is a light that its brightness increases when a successful tuning is achieved. In here, similar function used for tuning the sound brick itself.

    I'm already thinking of ways you could add a bluetooth speaker in it or even a real transistor radio. Removing the sound brick gives space for a speaker and the smartphone slot would be space for a circuit board. Kits for either can be easily found online, it would just be a challenge making them work with the knobs. You'd have to run a piece of string from the front dial to the tuner inside. A good quality radio kit should even have adjustments to make the Lego dial work accurately.

The hard click when switching between channel as it should be white noise or static would be my only complaint but other than that one I'm definitely eager to pick up.

      I am super pumped for it since absolutely no set of the past 2 years appealed to me either because of the poor quality and the cheap production like the mclaren mp4/4 or just cause the sets were so boring and overpriced. The countach surely is too but it is a must buy after the speed champs disappointment. If the leak is real, then the countach will be white again which I don't get as the 10295 Porsche was white already and its most popular c model was a countach. No new tires unfortionately but dual tires in the rear which is pretty cool

    Hello Balázs, good presentation as asual. I commented here to know your thought on the creation of this set. I have seen a very similar model on lego ideas reaching 10000 votes and it wasn't approved. However lego releases this set with a very close idea. Do you find it disrespectful toward the people who suggested the same idea ? Thanks

    • @RacingBrick
      @RacingBrick  Місяць тому

      I was thinking about mentioning this in the video, but it was already pretty long, and several new sets nowadays have a rejected equivalent on Ideas, so I don't think it should be brought up every time. This set had a concept model already 2 years ago, and the actual development also took about a year, which means designers were actively working on it while the Ideas set was still gathering votes.
      Also, the smartphone compatibility was part of the concept from the beginning, the Ideas project had that added in its second round which only started this year, when this model was already finished and in production.

      ​@@RacingBrickThank you for answering. Yes, I forgot that the function with the phone came only for the second attempt. There is another idea that was from 2021 with also a pretty cool system for the button and with the option to include a Bluetooth speaker. But I agree with you that the designer build is vastly different and the mecanism is pretty cool.
