I mean, I'm just excited for more Lego sets, but I'm interested to see what sort of experiences Lego plans, and at which races they will host them.

I have seen videos and photos of how people are mounting these on picture frames with back lighting and it looks sick. Makes me want some new living room decor.

Ooooo ... I LIKE that wall display idea!  I already have the McClaren car, and have the Mercedes on my Christmas wish list, plus a relatively open wall in my basement entertainment room.

I would like to see a racing league of giant Lego cars. The chassis probably would need to be something more solid, but you'd have brick bodywork and change out suspension and tires for different events, which would include paved road courses, clay oval, and mud bogging.

Securing the bodywork might be an issue. laugh

With official F1 branding, I wonder how much that increase the price of what are already fairly pricey kits. 

And I say this as someone who 5 Technic kits sitting in boxes in my office. 4 of which are the super cars. So those 5 kits are nearly $2k.
