LEGO originally got its name from founder Ole Kirk Christiansen who combed the Danish words "Leg Got" which means "play well". He later realized that LEGO in Latin translates to "I put together." The LEGO set became a standard of creative play for children worldwide, unlocking the creativity to build vehicles, buildings, cities and more. Historians point to the invention of the wheel as a major turning point in world history. The invention of the LEGO wheel had the same monumental effect in the history of LEGO, making it possible to create cars, trucks and eventually the LEGO train building set that is one of the most successful LEGO sets of all time. LEGO currently produces about 20 billion LEGO bricks a year and has sold more than 400 billion LEGOs in their history - enough for every person on the planet to have more than 60 LEGOs each!

Get this set, dont get it from Amazon
By Ken
About the Set itself:Not since the Ferrari Enzo 8653 and Ferrari Fiorano 8145 has there been a set as detailed and sophisticated as this, the Supercar 8070. Unlike the previous two, the Supercar is branded as a Technic, not a Ferrari, and this one is motorized. The motor does not move the car, instead it moves the front hood, right and left doors (independently), and extends and retracts the rear spoiler. All this is done with a pretty neat shift knob in the passenger compartment. If you missed your chance to get the previous sets, the Supercar not only continues, but improves on the previous sets.About the Amazon listing:Just to reaffirm the previous reviews, buying the Supercar is a rip off from Amazon, even if you consider all of the benefits of buying from Amazon. If you buy from Lego.com, you will have to pay for shipping and taxes. Now, Lego occasionally have free shipping promotions on big orders around 75 to 100 dollar purchases, so you only have to pay for taxes during those periods. As for Amazon, you can't buy directly from Amazon; this is where the problem comes in. If you want free shipping, you have to buy from "Fulfilled by Amazon" merchants, who sell the sets around 150 dollars, 30 dollars more than the MSRP, and if you're unlucky, taxes on top of that. If you buy from the cheapest merchant, you will have to pay for taxes and shipping, which will hover around the 150 dollar mark anyways. So the best solution would be to be patient and wait for Lego to have one of their free shipping promotions to get this set.

false list price
By danial hallam
The actual list price is $120. The use of a list price of $300 is completely misleading. Rather than the claimed discount of >%40. There is an actual mark up of >$40. I have told AMAZON about this repeatedly but the false list price persists on their website. Disappointing. Just buy it from LEGO.

Gets these thieves off Amazon
By K. Denyer
This is a $120 set available directly from Lego and authorised Lego dealers. Don't encourage these thieves who are just trying to exploit ill-informed customers. I am amazed Amazon still allows these crooks to exploit their web-site.It is easy to cure; make the sellers display the list price and let the customer choose. But the sellers would not agree to this would they. This clearly shows Amazon is only concerned about short term profits and does not care about its customers.
