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.


I think the "hollowed-out mudguards" type 3x4 33 degree slopes are always
non marled (6625 Speed Trackers, 6550 Outback Racer, 6525 Blaze Commander,
etc.), but the "non marled regular slopes" is a new trend, which reportedly
started with McDonald Promo sets.
