Out of curiosity I looked at Amazon/TRU for this set. I found something
titled:
Lego Radio Control Ferrari Enzo (8652)
(just go to http://www.toysrus.com and search for “Lego Ferrari”)
Is 8652 radio controlled?!?!?

No I don’t think so. Here’s a picture of the box:

Thanks for the pic Bryan.
Earlier today I went to a TRU and purchased one so I had already seen the box in
person. I almost didn’t buy it because I think the stickers used for the
headlights are very unappealing. I think they make it look like a cheap toy at
first glance and distract from the rest of the interesting details in the
design.
I plan to leave those stickers off and I’m expecting I’ll like the look of the
car much better without them. At least that’s the impression I get when I hold
my fingers over the head-lights while I look at the picture on the box (go
ahead, try it, you’ll see what I mean :-). I wish there was a way they could
have used smoke-colored slope bricks to represent the headlights instead of the
stickers.
Interestingly, in regard to my original post, I noticed that when the TRU
cashier scanned the box the name that appeared was something along the lines of
“LEGO RC Ferrari - Promo”. Somehow TRU got confused into thinking this would be
an RC set while of course we know it isn’t. Not sure if we should read into
that about the possibility of a real RC Ferrari set in the future...
Regards,
Paul
