Edit: price further reduced to $57.54
Edit 2: price dropped to $53.14
Pretty good price for an OK set. Something to keep the kids busy during school holidays (especially if you live in Sydney!)

CamelCamelCamel.
I am thinking Jeep or McLaren.
Which one should I go for..ummm
if you have the car transporter, the Mclaren is about the same size as the corvette (tad longer) and will sit nicely on the transporter.
the Jeep IMHO is just a missed opportunity… there are better MOC's out there that just don't make it so "frumpy"
e.g. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-8863/Madoca1977/jeep-wrangl…
As suspected that MOC looks a lot better primarily because it's in a larger scale and has more pieces. Both the Wrangler and Senna really deserved to be recreated in a larger scale model with at least +1,000 pieces, instead of these budget designs where huge amounts of detail are missing due to the low piece counts.
the lego model is actually a nicer looking car than the real one
In any case, the Lego model completely failed to capture the likeness of the real car due to smaller scale they used for that model. It really deserved the flagship Technic scale used for the 911 GT3 RS, Chiron and Sian.
McLaren is now down to $57.54, which is all all-time low.
I don't even want it & I'm tempted to buy at that price! (I've been collecting the little Speed Champions sets lately)
