A LEGO Technic Formula 1 scheduled for 2013 already on eBay

This is the story of a set that got lost somewhere in transit to an unknown destination and then found itself put for sale on eBay for a handful of $.

Nothing very exciting a priori, except that in this specific case it is a LEGO Technic set planned for 2013 (42000 Formula 1) which will only be released in a few months and for which the only image circulating so far was a blurry thumbnail of a few pixels, probably a photo taken in a dealer catalog.

The seller, no doubt in good faith, admits in his ad that this LEGO Technic vehicle is from a lost package for which he does not know the recipient and that he has no idea of ​​the real value of the set.

But the reactions and questions relating to the surprise appearance of this Formula 1 on the various forums devoted to the Technic universe about the incongruous appearance of this novelty on an auction site prompted him to withdraw his announcement and to contact LEGO to find out what to do with this machine that should never have been made public, at least not in this way.

In the meantime, fans of the Technic range feast on the many images published by the seller and analyze the new parts that are appearing on this model.

If you are a fan, go to the eBay listing in question, many photos are available. This announcement should quickly disappear, no doubt as soon as LEGO has negotiated with the seller to repatriate the lost prototype.
