Channel your competitor's focus. It’s time to build a highly detailed LEGO Technic McLaren Formula 1 Race Car 42141 model. When you cross the finish line, you’ll feel immense pride – with an impressive display model to celebrate your dedication. A close collaboration between the LEGO Group and McLaren Racing For 2022, the LEGO Technic designers have worked closely with the designers at McLaren Racing. Both sets of experts developed their model at the same time, making this a very special collaboration.

Hi guys - I have linked to the Woolworths catalogue for NSW Metro (page 52) which shows the price this week at BIG W as $119, which is closer to half price rather than a $40 saving. So this should be a great deal once Wednesday Thursday ticks over. Of course, real ozbargainers might take the catalogue around and try to price beat

Mod 14/11: Special started, at $199 instead of $119. Appears it was a catalogue error.

    it looks like Lego is NOT using larger rear tyres for any of their open wheeler cars?

    this was glaring on the mp4/4

    do you need to visit aliexpress for some right sized tyres?

    Price error? As big w everyday price is $239 not $159

      Yes…. it is a printing mistake. I confirm. There won't be any stock

    Prepare for cancelled orders…

    So, stay awake until 3–4 am AEST for the price to change again.

  • noelhoi on 12/11/2024 - 20:30

    I was gonna say buy today and refund tmr and rebuy when promo is active but that’s a high value and prolly wont be on display at all..

    That makes sense - the 2022 car was crap, must be clearing them out.

      ooof you are not wrong

      this is the worst of the daniel ricciardo saga

      they came 5th in the wdc beaten by ALPINE RENAULT of all teams

      best result was a 3rd

      From memory the timing of the lego set was very unfortunate too. This was announced and then days later McLaren announced its Google partnership which saw the iconic Google colours used on the wheels for all but a race or two. This set looks off to me as a result of those wheels.

  • xordis on 12/11/2024 - 20:46

    Doesn't have Pirelli's

  • BlazedSnake on 12/11/2024 - 20:57

    Side note: I highly recommend this set, not a massive lego fan but I really enjoyed it, took a good 3 hours to build.

      $40/h 🤷‍♂️ not bad considering some other options

      Didn’t know all of Australia resides in Sydney - you learn something new everyday!

      • noelhoi on 12/11/2024 - 22:06

        As of now no stock anywhere in WA too lol.
        I am so skeptical that stock level will change come early morning Thursday

        • WhyAmICommenting on 12/11/2024 - 22:06

          Ah well, there’s seemingly at least three in south east qld.

        • RichardF89 on 12/11/2024 - 22:46

          I just check the WA catalogue it also shows this special but no stock in WA that's so weird

    • CodeXD on 12/11/2024 - 22:26

      Excuse me? did you just say fountain gate is in sydney

        Have you seen the state of it?

        It might as well be.. 😅

  • sammy61187 on 12/11/2024 - 22:20

    Will this be available for delivery or just limited to two stores

      At minimum you can search up your own postcode.

      I can see 4 stores in VIC has it in stock.

      Fountain Gate, Southland, Karingal, Epping

  • RichardF89 on 12/11/2024 - 22:40

    no stock in WA

  • rs0123 on 12/11/2024 - 23:16

    Most likely it is a printing mistake.

    • aeon on 13/11/2024 - 08:29

      Interesting theory, the catalogue says "Save $40", and the current online price is $239, so that would mean $199 instead of $119, so a typo of 1 (vital) number. Just have to wait and see what happens tomorrow.

    I had been monitoring stock levels, just FYI miraculously there are none available now despite there being a lot of availability in my area / earlier today.

    • fat queenslander on 13/11/2024 - 10:37

      Yeah same, probably these were bought online to pickup and return-buy again tomorrow?

      • Logical on 13/11/2024 - 13:45

        You could be right, a bit of effort there and risk I guess… Worst case just return it for full refund anyway.

  • pommie on 13/11/2024 - 11:07

    I know this is a pricing error, but fingers crossed I can get one before they notice!

  • RichardF89 on 14/11/2024 - 00:07

    still shows $239

    • Warmachine99 on 14/11/2024 - 00:08

      Yea I'm waiting here too

    • Logical on 14/11/2024 - 00:09

      What do you think… Buy now at 239 and on pick up show reduced price in catalogue and do a return/repurchase… And if price error then refund?

      • noelhoi on 14/11/2024 - 00:10

        Sure if u can find stock

    • noelhoi on 14/11/2024 - 00:12

      Us in WA dont even need to compete, theres nothing to purchase at a whopping 0 stock levels statewide 🤣

  • noelhoi on 14/11/2024 - 00:08

    Last time it was updated ~1-2am AEDT

    • Warmachine99 on 14/11/2024 - 00:32

      Oh I guess I'll be staying up a little later tonight.

  • rartelif on 14/11/2024 - 03:07

    It’s print error as predicted $199

    $199, someone’s soo fired.

  • frozenkuku on 14/11/2024 - 03:23

    $199 and no stock in SA

  • ysr on 14/11/2024 - 08:34

    It is $119 - Found stock in a VIC store. Ordered it. Hopefully it gets processed!

    • Brotality on 14/11/2024 - 08:49

      I can't find any stock around me for like 70kms. I definitely saw in in stock in several places yesterday. It looks quite unobtainable unless another place is willing to price match

  • dealzonwheelz on 14/11/2024 - 08:49

    Ordered for click and collect from last store in VIC - came down to $109 with $10 welcome voucher. Hopefully it’s not cancelled.

  • Mr BoMBAStiG on 14/11/2024 - 08:52

    Just got it for $107 after XNOV2024 code. Pick up rural NSW.

    I saw 3 stores around Sydney with stock last night, Menai had the most.

    This morning the stock checker listed it as unavailable anywhere:
    https://bigw.youinstock.com.au/search/206589/nsw

    I grabbed a paper catalogue from the Woolworths before heading into the nearby Menai Big W.
    Stock of the Lego set has been taken off the shelves. I asked an employee if they had any, he asked how many I wanted. He got me one from out the back.
    The cash register employee called the manager about the price discrepancy. She took the catalogue & the McLaren set away for 10min. Came back to say that it was for online purchases only but would honour this price error.
    I believe there could be more out the back if you are lucky…

    • cycloneaussie on 14/11/2024 - 12:55

      noticed the same - local BigW had plenty available last night, none this morning online or instore.
      Good tip on speaking with the service counter.

      Funnily enough, I had my online pickup order from Menai placed around 8am this morning cancelled. Something strange is happening with the stock.

  • aeon on 14/11/2024 - 14:18

    It's actually listed as $119 now, good luck if you can find a store that has stock:

  • MalamuteMayhem on 14/11/2024 - 21:04

    I was fortunate to aquire one at $119 locally during a brief window of availability.

    Here’s my take on the situation:

    -Catalogue misprint listed it at $119
    -Price briefly adjusted to $199, possibly to allow for internal decision making
    -Final strategy: move most stock out of view, honour the $119 price for a few customers
    -Mark it as 'out of stock' online to technically uphold the advertised price

  • benjiross on 15/11/2024 - 01:52

    Can't find this in stock anywhere. Looks like it's been 'taken off' stock

    • Speckled Jim on 15/11/2024 - 09:54

      There's always the AliE $50 option. No box though.

  • rartelif on 15/11/2024 - 10:34

    Price changes back to $199 now

  • lilkid28 on 15/11/2024 - 11:21

    Got 2x for close to $100 each after using 10% EDR code and discounted WISH cards.

    • firestint on 15/11/2024 - 17:46

      Which store has stock?
