It's not important how good the set is, the only thing that matters is FAMILY.
It's about family, and thats whats so powerful about it.
Live family a quarter family at a time *snifffff*
The first thing I did after clicking on this video was to go searching for the "family" comment and it didn't take long. The internet is a good place
As good as these recent licensed sets look, it makes me really really want to see a Speed Champions Back to the Future Delorean.
Personally I prefer the stock Delorean, but either way it would be great to see
There’s so much potential for iconic movie cars now. They could do the Knight Rider car, the Ghostbusters Ecto-1, the potential is endless!
Yes please. And make it slightly unique by including 2 figs of the main characters
I would also love to see a speed champions DeLorean. Not sure if they'd do the time machine but even just the car itself would be cool
I think if these sell well, we'll most likely get it. RacingBrick did a video with the designer and he talks about how Lego have done TV/movie cars in the past like the Mystery Machine, the Batmobiles, etc. but they wanted to do a theme/subtheme of them and that's what they're hoping to do with Speed Champions. I feel like we'll probably get more cars like the Delorean, KITT and hopefully many more
Speed Champions is killing it right now. Lego’s sleeper hit theme by far.
Can't believe they released a set like this without the most important thing:
Family.
This set definitely looks like it’d be a good one to build with your family, because that’s all that matters
It would be cool if LEGO added opening bonnets and boots. I'm able to do it on MOCS of 6 wide cars. So, they should definitely be able to do it on 8 wide cars.
Who would love to see more Fast and Furious speed champions sets, such as Paul Walker’s skyline, Han’s Supra and more
Absolutely love this thing. I just love both classic and modern muscle cars and I'm amazed on how far the designers went for this one. Looks great alongside the Challenger from last year but that's to be expected. Also, Speed Champions getting a 2nd wave is such a treat especially movie cars even if there's only two sets.
I absolutely love this set. I've waited so long for LEGO Fast&Furious cars. It is definitely a must have for my LEGO collection Thanks for this great review!!
Thank you for mentioning the Ghost Rider car and for showing the previous version of this car. TLG seems to enjoy making this model.
I would've killed for a Ghost Rider vs Lola Speed Champions set based on Agents of Shield
This is the closest Riddick minifig we will ever get.
This is a pretty cool representation of the 70 Dodge Charger! I'm not sure how they could make the other cars we saw in the Fast & Furious movies without the side graphics, it would not translate well in Lego form, and you don't want to overlap stickers on multiple bricks! Otherwise, pretty cool build!
If only this set lived its life a quarter mile at a time.
I just built this over the weekend and really enjoyed it. Loved the technique for putting the back half of the car on.
I thought this one was gonna be boring, but I was pleasantly surprised with how good it actually was. Very detailed, lots of prints, but I hope they start including two tire sizes in the muscle cars. I'm excited to see the next line in 2023!
I really hope they make a Mad Max Ford Falcon (that can be made into either Mad Max or Road Warrior [with extra fuel tanks] version) in the future.
hopefully this means we'll eventually get a speed champions DeLorean
Love the design it’s so cool and iconic for such a small build
He looks very proud with that wrench in his hand
The 8-wide looks more accurate to the real vehicle but I can't get over the scaling. Sure, scale with minifigs will never be perfect due to their different proportions, but the 8-wide cars are distractingly huge in comparison.
I love the 8 wides for the detail but they can be scaled down quite well back to 6 wide. I’ve done the Jesko and the Lambo (black and gold one)
I mean each option here comes with disadvantages:
- 6 wide, old speed champions standard? Better scale, but only fits one minifig, which to me puts it in an uncanny valley where it looks more like a toy than a car. (Also a lot of them look too long to me)
- 8 wide, new speed champions? More detail, fits two across, but looks oversized compared to a lot of other LEGO things
- 6 wide, but modified to fit 2 across? Kind of a best of both worlds approach, but it forces the car to use the thin doors and you have to do things to the arms to get them to fit.
I agree and I personally find more charm in vehicles that are scaled to minifigures rather than optimized for detail and accuracy,. At the very least, the proportion of the lego parts need to matchup decently to the real thing, which in the case of 8-wide often fails with the wheels being undersized.
I hope they do a couple more F&F stuff. And also keep on working just good cars like the Countach. The Lambo Murcielago or the Mclaren F1 would be crazy good for Lego sets imo.
In my eyes, 8-wide Speed Champions are comparable to Tamiya's customizable motorized track racing cars in terms of scale and displayability, which I had as a kid and continue to be popular today. To that end, the preference towards displayability pays off very well in the looks and level of detail I see in these new sets. Sure, they look out of place in City settings, but they were never really designed with that use case in mind to begin with, even in the 6-wide days (where fitting in a City setting was a bonus IMO). There isn't a first-party theme that hits the sweet spot of 5- and 6-wide cars that look good on roads anymore, and that's unfortunate.
Imagine next they make the Jurassic park Jeep Wrangler
You got me all excited when you mentioned the door hinges and I thought maybe this car had opening doors. After all, why use all these plates on the sides of the car instead of vertical tiles? But nope, no doors, just lots of ugly plates stacked on top of each other.
The back end looks really good though, and I like the printed plates.
I might pick it up. Need the DB5 first though.
A fun set for the whole FAMILY.
That minifig is about 1/3 Vin Diesel, 2/3 angry clone.
The angry clone part adds a little bit of charm to compensate for Vin Diesel's absolute lack of charisma.
I cannot unsee this now 🤣
Nice Review but the indents of the door are not the door hinges, they are supposed to represent the fake door scoop that are a prominent detail of the second gen Charger.
I love this set, except for the lack of minifig room.
And family.
I got this set and love it. So compact and well designed.
I love this set! Great review Jang.
@JANG's LEGO Reviews I noticed that there is two 1x1 black tile pieces before the rear begins at end of rear window shaping maybe if you remove the one by where the gas sticker goes and replace it with a black stud 1x1square and add a 1x1 grey round flat tile as the filler cap? The moving of filler cap location is a small price to pay by one stud though
Got into the Speed Champions sets a bit late in the game "for my kid" who was 2 or 3 at the time, and have a couple years of the 6 stud wide and thought they were cool and really didn't think anything of it because "hey it's Lego" but then the year the 8 stud wide came out (I want to say there was a Ferrari of some sort) I was absolutely blown away how much better it looked and then the short comings of the 6 stud wide ones really were apparent as they look fine from the side but if you look down the length of them they really are skinny "hot dog" cars and immediately wanted Lego to reboot all their vehicles to this 8 stud wide feel, I can image any sort of semi truck, ice cream truck, or camper van would just look so much better... I knew that wasn't going to happen but still a man can dream... for his kid :)
This should've the build for Robbie's car. Especially since the newer chassis was in production when that car came out
Wow, the roller skate door handles are brilliant!
There mini creators at this stage for me, and I lovem. Superb as always Jang.
This is a great set to build with family.
I've never seen a Single Fast & Furious movie and I still bought this because I appreciate a good car set.
He needed his cross/chain printed on his torso. Woulda really made it look more like the character.
The speed champions is a great FAMILY of lego sets
I haven't built a LEGO set in 4 years and this was the entry back for me and I gotta say as a Fast and Furious fan I'm incredibly happy with this set its so cool. I bought it before the price increase luckily it's good value for 20$. 8 studs wide is so much better, but the 6 stud one represents the overall look which is also decent. The door handles are a very innovative solution definately better than a sticker like on the Aston Martin. Only slight disappointment is the license plate if that would be a print it would be perfect for me, but the taillight prints are a good compromise. Great review, Jang 👍👍
Nice 😺 Can we get a Speed Champions “Back to the Future” Toyota Tacoma? Lift kit, roll bar, and flood lights?
I hope lego continues with the film and TV theme for speed champions, lots of iconic vehicles to choose from, j
Fingers crossed for Brian’s R34 Skyline as well as the Supra.
Definitely another that I am interested in getting, and the figure is a special thing too even though I’ve never seen one of those films
I like the side of the old one better but I like the new one a lot
Yes after your review I got to get this set
The sloped piece used for the boot lid looks really weird, but other than that it's a pretty great set
Agree on the Vin look. He also has a weird knob on top of his head :p
Just got mine today, looks beautiful
I have the Sembo one and I think it looks way better, except for the back lights, since they're not printed
Great review! I love this set! I changed out the over accented grey front end with black pieces and it looks even better to me.
Just bought this today, planning to build it tonight
We don’t need LEGO’s, we need family.
Great review! I love that you used the phrase “gangsta lean” in a speed champions review 😎
Minifig scale cars are so finicky to make. Proper minifig scale is 3.5 studs to 1 meter, and Lego bricks are really thick compared to walls of an actual vehicle. So you either have a car that's too big, or an interior that's too small. Making a perfect in-between is definitely tricky.
I just snagged this and the James Bond car. Hope Speed Champions keeps doing movie cars at this price point!
I have this set and like it, but the inability to fit most standard figures with a hair piece is really frustrating.
I was really hoping for the fiero space shuttle, but this will suffice.
Do you think we will get other sets like cars from tokoyo drift or the green evo from the first movie ?
The speed champion's series is awesome! Probably your best bang for your buck especially compared to Star Wars. My local Fred Meyers has Lego 20% off all the time it seems. So these for $16 is almost nothing. Great review.
jang love what you do Thank you
Can you please put the tires from the six wide build on this one so we can see how it looks? Thank you.
I just love the difference 8 studs wide makes. I cant wait until they potentially evolve into 10 stud wide😮
Looks impressive, got mine as a birthday gift, with the price increases I was ready for ending my Lego hobby, but I've heard a rumour there's a Skyline coming next year as well as a couple of other speed champion (scale) sets
Doms face on this figure looks more of one of those clone troopers face from like 2000 and smth
I was down for the Bond car but this one I can't get behind personally. The Minifig doesn't remind me of Vin at all and the car looks like a box made of 2x4's.
That's a good one, like the rounded corner on the roof, a long awaited upgrade for me. Not a fan of the prints on the tail light though, they don't look any better than stickers in that case and it looks like you could have done the same effect with simple plate stacking.
Now, if they could release one in the future without the FF franchise attached to it, I'll buy that instantly.
I'd much rather have a printed black 1x3 tile for each tail light, to avoid the weird gaps in the prints showing the trans-red behind.
With all the liscensed cars, I would love a jurassic park jeep wrangler with a Dennis Nedry minifigure. Also a back to the future Delorean with Marty Mcfly and Dr. Brown minifigs.
NGL half wanna buy this set to make a John McClane with that face print
I feel it'll look fitting
I’m turning mine into a ghost rider vehicle. I have the ghost rider one so it should be pretty easy to mod it
Does the top part of the roof not stick on or did i build it wrong
CMON LEGO KEEP THIS GOING WE NEED KITT AND CHRISTINE
That gas cap could have easily been a printed 1x1 tile by the trunk. If the corvette had had the curved corners for the roof, it would have been so much better. This looks great. Fig doesn't thrill me. But, total get.
I love this set but I feel like molded rims instead of the printed ones would've worked better, all the printing is off on mine and looks weird overall it would've also given us a silver 5 spoke rim to fit the new style of speed champions tires
picked mine up for the original £17.99 at smyths. I’m hoping to try and mod it to a ‘mini camaro’ to go alongside its bigger brother
Wonder if LEGO will eventually make Brian's SUPRA too. Bit of a missed opportunity to make this a two car set.
All we need next is:
- Knight Rider
- DeLorean
- Han’s RX-7
- Ecto-1
- Speed Racer
- The Mach Five
- Brian’s Nissan Skyline
- Red Dodge Viper
- 1989 Batmobile
- Mystery Machine
- The Herbie Beatle
wait, they changed the light flesh colour (light nougat)? Or is this regular flesh (nougat) and it just looks weird on camera?
Im gonna buy this bcs FAMILY 🤣
I picked up this set and the 007 Aston Martin set, and found this one superior to the Aston.
I hope they do more iconic speed champion vehicles.
One that would be really cool to have would be the A-team van but that would need 4 mini figs.
The A-Team van is often submitted for Lego Ideas but it just depends on the license. BA Baracus (minifig) and a chibi van did appear as a Lego Dimensions kit so there's always hope.
Austin powers mini cooper
Almost had me? You never had me. You never had your car!
Is it weird this looks better than the Technic one, despite being at a smaller scale? Or is that just me that thinks that?
"bEcAuSe fAmIlY" 😂
I really love the look of this car as well as the new James Bond Aston Martin
However I have to say despite the increase in detail I really don’t like the decision to switch to8 Wide
Even after some time to adjust to this change I still find it to be a bad decision from LEGO‘s side
The cars look phenomenal as standalone items with a lot off detail due to the increase in size
but they do not fit in any city Setting with other Regular minifig scaled stuff
Another side effect of this decision is that they don’t fit with the earliest speed champions sets either
Kind of forcing you to restart your collection
or pick between one design style or the other
Lego should do Brian's supra or Nissan skyline
Shouldve been a double pack with brian's.
They need to make a Knight Rider KITT Speed Champions set. They have the licence.
They say ABS is one of the strongest plastics out there, but nothing is stronger than family.
FAMILY!
Lego is putting prints on such weird parts sometimes but cannot do a brand sign print on the front grill? :(
Also the 6 studs charger had the 1x1 printed tiles, why they didnt re-use them here? Especially for the back there is exact that one 1x1 black tile.
But even those new Speed Champions prices for 25€ (in Europe) I really like, what they are doing. More interior, more details more prints (just lets remember those big sticker sheets for the 6 wide cars! lol), a license, interesting builds. I hope they keep that quality for the next Speed Champions:)
As far as the inside goes and the outside, it’s pretty good, but the rims are not really my favourite but does work
I would like to see these wheelhubs on some silver metalllic rims, on black rims they remind me of those ugly spinning rims haha
I think it could have worked if they left a ring around the outside of the hub piece silver. Right now I see it and think circus tent and clown car.
5:45 The difference between a toy and a collectible model kit.
Even Lego Vin Diesel looks like an egg in a vest
I'm only gonna get this because of the Vin Diesel minifig.
Could you please do a review of the star wars AT-TE
Hear me out on this but they should make a Lego speed champions set of Homer Simpsons purple car or the car that homer made for his brother herb in the Simpsons season 2
30$ in Canada... 5$ more 😮💨
It’d be really cool if they built a set of Brian’s orange Supra to go with it
