I think its a reference to the old Racers theme, where almost all the technic built cars had them. Pretty obscure reference but they look and are built exactly the same!
Idk, the spirit of Dom’s charger is about function over form, and I think that’s reflected in LEGO’s choice to make it a playable and function filled set instead of a desk ornament. The mustang is a truly beautiful car, and so is the ‘69 charger, don’t get me wrong. But what makes the charger in the movie special isn’t the beautiful lines and bodywork… it’s what the car can do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (that said I’m also just a random idiot with a keyboard, and the JB Aston Martin-despite Sariel’s imo unfounded criticism of its looks-proved that a system set can both be beautiful and function-filled if they have enough talent on the job)
Thank you. Your reviews are always among the most detailed and balanced when it comes to your verdict. I must disagree concerning the size comparison, though. In real life the Mustang is a relatively compact Pony car and the Charger is a brute. Admittedly the LEGO Charger is too wide under all circumstances, but the length is nearly the same scale as the Mustang.
@@danielcepero3790 I honestly really like it. I agree, there are a couple bits that could be improved, but for $100 and F&F and Dodge licenses, it's a nice set with pretty decent functionality and as soon as I get some spare time I'm gonna try stuffing some electronics into it
It needs more length, that year of dodge charger, and the many years similar to it, were long and often called boats because of the length. Lego could no doubt do a better job with the car if it were a system set like the creator mustang
I feel like this set has got Technic fans annoyed because it's not "Technic-ey" enough and System fans are frustrated that it's not one of the Creator Expert cars like the Aston Martin, Delorean and Ecto 1.
Not having B-model, I was thinking... what if it had extra bricks to tune up as an off-road version in F&F Seven. Price might go higher but It would be more lovely.
What do you think about the use for this giant 11x15 frame in a car? Any Lego technic car doesn't need such a frame! I think it is like cheating with 4+ parts! 😅
Keeps sponsorships: "Allow us to introduce ourselves" (for the people who has been living under a rock Keeps is basically a brand for hair products that prevent hair loss idk if they make other products)
I’m thinking of buying this. I just finished the Ducati motor bike last nite it’s a nice set too. I see on eBay u can get a light kit for this car so il probably buy that too an see how it looks with the lights.
it still is great for such an affordable price! because i was making a comparison between the blue rally car and this muscle car and it turns out that this has the same scale as the blue rally car but it's just cheaper.
so how does the V8 able to function? it cool to see it in action but how do you make it move? the video didn't show that. It is by batteries operation, where is the switch? or is it by rolling of the car by gears on gears or??
This should have been better as a Creator set. I expected it to be one as well considering the Charger in the rear view mirror of the Mustang. And sadly they made a mistake in the instruction manual at 10:29 because the charger they show that's supposedly in FF1 is actually the one from Fast and Furious (2009) which is the 4th movie. The one from the first movie has smaller wheels and the original grille
Curious... in the build instructions the rear shocks are yellow plastic towards the back tires (bottom of the car) and front is reversed with yellow on top. I saw in your build you had the shocks in the back with yellow plastic up? Not sure it really matters ? Maybe more bouncy in the back with it per the build instructions. Great videos btw
I’ve got nice deal for £55 from amazon! I’m very picky when it comes to Lego technic but doge charger? Sold! I’ve never seen single f&f movie.. sorry not my cup of tea 🤦🏻♂️also when we gonna see Lego technic trophy/stadium, Baja or monster truck? (complex models)
wish that they did custom Cragar 200-s or American Racing Torque Thrusts for the model but the stock lego wheels don't look too bad on it, also there's some axle left, throw a half spacer or maybe a full spacer in there (don't know the name of the actual lego part, I've always called them spacers because that's what I use them for) and it'll fix that horrendous wheel offset
Over isn't too bad considering most cars from that era including the charger had a fairly narrow track width compared to today's vehicles which all around are generally larger and bulkier compared to their original release.
martin villamayor if you like it then buy it, it is just a toy! Love mine because of the vibe and style it has, not for the authensity and lines. Looks great on my shelf.
Funny video 😆 I've been waiting for your test since the set was announced lol Well your video isn't that convincing but I'm a big fan of the F&F franchise and I seriously think about buying that set... Anyway, big thank you for this video and see you next time 😉
Chou are correct sariel the only cool thing about this set is the engine the rest is Nasty I think I will give this set a miss and hope Lego can come up with something soon worth buying ,,,,,, we live in hope stay safe my friend regards David a seriousAFOLfrom the uk
With the Mustang being so great, it is such a pity that this isn't a Creator Expert model as well. I guess it is more of a Fast and Furious set than a Dodge charger set to be honest.
I was really excited about this set, but to be honest...it wasn’t all that great in my opinion. I still enjoy it however. I added small details to the interior just to make it look better, but it really doesn’t fix it for me.
No, akurat o 15% większa długość Chargera względem Mustanga świadczy raczej o bardzo zbliżonej skali tych modeli. Jedynie co z Chargerem jest w kwestii skali jest nie tak to jego proporcje: trochę za szeroki względem jego długości (lub za krótki względem szerokości).
I'll admit, the wheelie function is a breath of fresh air considering most sets have the same 3 functions: Steering, Engine, Some kind of crane/lifting arm However, the set seems very flimsy, and quite frankly, half-assed
Agreed with all your thoughts on this, a controversial license and a far from perfect model. But, it's still a significantly better and more meaningful use of a licence than the Top Gear Rally Car set; granted it's not that hard to do better than that set. Still, I was worried when Lego announced there was going to be a set that uses The Fast and the Furious licence that we were going to get another set that is just another random vehicle that is not related to the license at all in any capacity like the Top Gear set.

The mega frame is put to good use housing the transmission in the new Lamborghini set.

I appreciate that half the build isn’t taken up by a massive and relatively useless transmission that barely works.

its about family
they went the Paul Walker route for the B-Model.
too dark?

guess we should make a song about it?
Sebastian mit der Axt it’s called a “B-Tree” for a reason ;)
so the B-Model is a Dodge Caravan?
I cant wait for people to actually make this thing wheelie with PF or alternatives
That would be awesome!
they should have done it as a creator set like the mustang
If only the Mustang would be dark green then! :D
Exactly! Im not fan of technics but I love creator expert cars!

Could not agree more. I loved Mustang and it looks way more impressive then any Technic set. Normal Lego is more fun to build too.
@@elementaljosh i agree
12:41 the real car also has pretty big overhangs
U can adjust that
The whole f&f franchise in a nutshell:
"It's about family cuz!!!!!"

This car has a Trademark sticker?
If the rear axle was modified to have more ground clearance, it could be a good chassis for a buggy!

That is an amazing set sariel
A little bit amazing
2:25 the 11*15 frame isn't exactly a new part, it was previously introduced in the lego education Spike Prime expansion set (45680) in light blue.
Also,Spike Prime isnt a Lego Technic set
I"ll end up buying it just for the suspension pieces ;)

@@searme I mean the newest one. From last year, I guess
It would be so awesome if you keep the Wheely support if you put motors in the thing
Even though it is a model with two licences it could be great for getting parts. It has a ton of black panels!
I'm sure you will get it for 80€!
so how does the V8 able to function? it cool to see it in action but how do you make it move? the video didn't show that. It is by batteries operation, where is the switch? or is it by rolling of the car by gears on gears or??
9:07 - And I quote: "V8 engine connected to the rear axle".
Great video :)
i have and is done with it (nearly done cuz ONE piece wasent there) its great
he also forgot that the knop for turning falls off wayyy too ez

I just love the millions of blue pins, makes it look more realistic...

You think you could make a video in the future about fixing the flaws with this?
No time and it's not my job to correcr LEGO designers, sorry.
@@searme No no, I totally understand. You got loads of crazy projects too. Just curious was all. Thanks
Function is awesome
kinda looks spacious enough to motorize it. feel like it could have used custom rims and maybe a bit more chrome
Why they don’t do an expert one too?
Getting this Thursday. Can't wait
I have this set it looks great
wish that they did custom Cragar 200-s or American Racing Torque Thrusts for the model but the stock lego wheels don't look too bad on it, also there's some axle left, throw a half spacer or maybe a full spacer in there (don't know the name of the actual lego part, I've always called them spacers because that's what I use them for) and it'll fix that horrendous wheel offset
So when I build this can I Drive it with a Joystick or something like that?
Only if Joystick is what you call your hand.
I never new it had chains so. Much it is cool
So cool man keep it up!
please do a video about this set but motorized
Could we motorize with Powered Up Functions or Power Functions this Dom's Dodge Charger Lego car ...?!
14:54
It doesn't hurt to watch the whole video, you know.
Can you fit a lpe in it
I think it's too small.
Is there room to push the wheels out farther?
Not without modifying the body.
Over isn't too bad considering most cars from that era including the charger had a fairly narrow track width compared to today's vehicles which all around are generally larger and bulkier compared to their original release.
Too bad it isn't brick built, would've looked great next to the mustang. Still, it's difficult for me to pass up on it.
You should check out Firas Abu-Jaber’s mod of the ‘Stang *into* the Charger, it’s amazing.
I feel like the should've used some sort of wheel cover like they did with the Ferrari sets because the "steel" ones don't do it justice.
I am thinking of buying this but I am not sure
martin villamayor if you like it then buy it, it is just a toy! Love mine because of the vibe and style it has, not for the authensity and lines. Looks great on my shelf.
New parts here again. Thanks a lot!
Again, another excellent review. Seems to me another plus +10 for the set is that it's an excellent parts pack for Batman
Do you hear that there Is the Lambo sian on 1th june like Porsche and Bugatti
Boutta get this on Christmas
This seems better than putting a model car together!

Lego should've made that model 1:8 scale instead because then they'd make it look more like the real car perhaps have more functions too.
And it would cost 4x more.
