Where in the US are you and when did you order it?  I got a letter from TLG
just the other day stating that they still expected it to come in on the
18th.  I suppose I should go check and see if I've been billed yet....

It just arrived this morning.  The box is about the same size as 8448. • The
front panel opens to show lots of pics of the completed car.  The box has • a
clear half panel once the lid is open, to expose a bag of silver parts, • the
silver wheels and the large rubber tires.  The back of the box shows the
alternate model "Silver Truck" in lots of different poses.  Also on the • front
and back, it says to goto www.lego.com/silverchampion for alternate • building
instructions for "Street Sensation"  a cool looking street car made from • these
parts.  By the looks of the overall kit, it doesn't do much, but it looks
really sweet, expecially to a F1 and CART fan like myself.  And from HUW's
scans, it is absolutely HUGE!

I think I have to stop having LSAH send the boxes to my office.  They • really
don't pack the boxes that well, they are always busted open and the • corners of
the nice box are all dinged up and crushed.  Same thing happened with my • 8448,
but it didn't happen with the UCS sets.  Very strange.  I guess I would • rather
have it a day later shipped to my home(ups wont drop off without • signature).
Its a pain in the ass.

(...) I got the same letter, but keep in mind, LSAH ships from Connecticut, and I live in NJ. So if I order in the morning, I get the package within 2 days, usually the next day! So I was billed on the 11th, received on the 14th. I ordered it as (...) (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)
