75895 1974 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.0

Today's post is about LEGO.  Specifically, the Speed Champions 75895 1974 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.0 that came out in the summer of 2019 here in the U.S. Ever since I saw that forest green Porsche in The Big Chill, I've always like Porsche's.  Of course, when I had the chance to own a sports car, I went in the BMW direction instead of Porsche but that's another story.  No, my future Porsche's will be LEGO for the time being.  And this one fits right in as far as price goes.  No, it doesn't have the awesomeness of the technic 42056 Porsche 911 GT3 RS, but it's also not $300!

This one is white and is super affordable.  I'm hoping to get at least 2.  I also have bold plans to buy different colors.  But there are a few pieces that I may not be able to find in forest green.  Notably, the Technic piece that holds up the headlight.  But I may be able to get close.  I haven't priced out an all black version but it will probably run slightly higher than the white model.  Yes, a nearly identical model came out in a light green only last year ago.  75888 Porsche 911 RSR and 911 Turbo 3.0 is still available and is pretty cheap on Amazon.  I never bothered with it since the green wasn't to my taste and I don't like spending that kind of cash just for one car.

I'm looking at you 75889 Ferrari Ultimate Garage.  The 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO is the Ferrari I want. I have a really hard time paying that as an adult for all the extra play set stuff.  Or, diorama if you will.  I am an AFOL after all.  Anyway, if and when I build other colors, here is the place I'll be posting them.  Until then, clear off that desk and keep building!
