Whee, just finished building a set of 5 of the Shell promo sets...
thanks Niko! I noticed something about the slopes in the set, though
The ferrari racecar uses a 2x3 low slope without marling (1) that has
the ferrari prancing horse logo printed on it.
The ferrari road car uses a sticker for the hood, but it goes onto a 4x3
hood slope brick. This slope is also non marled. The sticker no doubt
sticks better than it would to a marled slope. I wonder if a trend is
developing here...
Lego USED to print on marled slopes.
- the rough texture seen on all slopes prior to 1999...

| (...) Look at the printing carefully. I noticed on the McDonalds sets that it appears that the printing is not the traditional LEGO printing, but a transfer of some kind. I had posted in lugnet.promo about this but I guess I should have posted here. (...) (25 years ago, 22-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)
