Each year we faithfully purchase all the collectable items launched by Shell and Ferrari and quickly rushed off to a Shell Station with the launch of the 2013 Lego Collectibles.
The oil company Shell and Lego go back a long way with the first sets (325 & 491) released in 1966. With the introduction of the fictional gasoline company "Octan" in 1992, no regular sets were released anymore, except for occasional promotional sets.
After lying on the shelf in bags for a few months, (have never really opened promotional items in order to maintain their collectable value...) we opted to open the packets and build the cars!
There are 6 cars and a set of 3 minifigures to collect and each item has the Ferrari "official product" certification. Builds are simple and relatively quick, the one downside being applying all the little stickers precisely and accurately. The pull mechanism on the cars adds to the playability, unfortunately the mechanism on the F40 was faulty.
