Sure it’s not the most hype speed champions set, but the amount of detail and closeness to the OG car is amazing, and shows how Speech Champions just continues to figure out how to get even more amazing year after year. I’m not a big car guy but I always buy this theme because it’s that good!
Same here, not a big car guy but I like interesting lego builds and Speed Champions always provides on that front. You wrote this set wasn't hyped much, so of all the 2023 releases, which has the mist hype?
The printed brick with a sticker probably happened so they could reuse the same design for both sides, instead of having to make two versions with prints on opposing sides.
printing on both sides are possible, see the 1x1 transparent brick in XL-15 Spaceship. But I agree with Filipe, it's two stickers less with one print without the need for two separate parts for left and right. Nice compromise
i'm loving what they're doing with the speed champions theme, every new wave comes with really nice and useful improvements, they're keeping pushing the boundaries of what is possible on a 8 stud car
The new chassis is amazing! It's scary to think how fast they're developing this line though, because now at the 3rd wave of 8-wide, the two previous ones already feel dated and in need of improvement.
This is the 4th wave, actually. It’s pretty great to see each subsequent year address criticisms from previous waves, ie. the Supra headlight stickers, the Lotus windshield printing, the Challenger’s squared roof. There’s constant evolution towards perfection in the smallest details and it’s really exciting. That said, I think there are several earlier wave sets that are near perfect and completely hold up against the current gen. For me that’s the Tributo, Hurican, Urus, GT Heritage, and even the Elva.
Not a fan of the styling of the real car this is based on, but I will very much LOVE the build process of this and the other Speed Champions sets. I've always been a fan of the Speed Champions line and how the designers managed to squeeze so much advanced stuff into a small model. Going forward, this theme has basically supplanted the Creator Expert/Icons line of the Vehicle Collection for me, which have got far too costly for me, and is only going to get rougher when the rumoured Land Rover Defender comes out. Speed Champions is relatively affordable and a lot less space demanding, yet still feels like an 18+ set without officially being one, because of the complex building techniques.
I love everything about the Lego speed champions line. If I would add something more, it would be to have Lego give us more of a variety when it comes to the rim options. It seem like it’s the same rims over and over again. At least give us different color options. Maybe that is something lego could focus on for next years line.
Not an instant classic, a set can only be as good as the original. But as you said, it is definitely a faithful reproduction. I will get it for my Speed Champions collection. But there are two in this year's lineup that I am a lot more excited about.
These are my most anticipated reviews from your channel. You continue to deliver the best analysis of the sets from a car fan and Lego enthusiast’s perspective. Thank you for the side by side comparisons to real photos and previous sets. Looking forward to the other set reviews!
I just built this set... one of my favorite builds! The proportions look great with the updated pieces. Speed Champions is definitely trending in the right direction. Cant wait to build the rest of the 2023 models released so far!
I like the overall design of the Ferrari 812 Competizione in real life. I think it looks pretty good, it might not be one of my favorite all time supercars. I might have chosen something else, such as a McLaren or a Lamborghini, as that would be more of a choice for me. However, I really do like the overall shaping and the body overall on this Ferrari 812, I think they really captured the look of it well, as it looks good from every angle with all of the significant details replicated. Thanks for another great review as always, keep up the great work.
I am greatly impressed how you explained and showed the difference with the chassis and the fender pieces to their predecessors. Very cool. I might need to look into upgrading some of my older models.
Loved the video, great humor included! I really like this car build more than the F8 Tributo. That one just had a funky front end that never worked for me. This one looks really good and very accurate in Lego. Can’t wait to get mine!
Awesome build with the changes. I enjoy how you breakdown the subtle differences. It would be interesting to retrofit an Aston Martin or similar with some of the new chassis/other pieces and see the outcome.
Hey, thanks for the review! You are great at it as always. In my opinion this is the best ferrari from the speed champions lineup, totally adding it to the collection!
Definitely my favorite from this new March wave. Really like the improvements to the chassis, and fender pieces. Should be plenty useful in cars to come as well as independent mocs. Also really glad to see the trend for printed head lights, and tail lights are continuing into 23. Looking forward to the detailed reviews of the rest of the wave though personally really like how the two pack McLaren turned out.
So looking forward to when these come out in March always love when Lego releases new speed champions sets looking forward to the McLaren two pack the most
This set impressed me more than I expected it to. Some suggestions for improvement: 1) The yellow stripe can be fully brick-built (for those, like myself, who detest stickers). 2) The proportions can be improved by shifting the windscreen and slopes behind it forward by half a stud (the headrests are then lost but the interior is otherwise unaffected). 3) The exhausts fit better connected to 1x1 SNOT bricks (replacing the headlight bricks and 1x1 round plates). 4) An engine block will fit nicely in place of the yellow 2x3 brick in the front.
Yeah, Lego really nailed it this year with speed champions, I’ll be getting all of the first batch. Last year I didn’t get the charger and db5 only because I have the big ones.
I'm not a fan of stickers, like most, but the thing that is bothering me a lot with these newer Speed Champions is the manual not showing where the stickered pieces go until after you finish putting the bricks in place. You either have to stuggle to get them aligned on the model or take them off again. Jut show us where to put the stickers before we attach the bricks to the car. I've just finished building the last of my 2022 speed champions over this past weekend and am definitely looking forward to this years offering.
my next wish is a new steering wheel piece that makes it easier to have it centred in front of the seat + looks better (maybe swappable steering wheels too)
found this set tucked between the shelves at my local walmart (thought it released in march) and part of this build is making me feel like im crazy. right above the tail lights, theres a radius 2 quarter circle (shown at 5:09) thats made out of a radius 1 quarter circle and a radius 2 quarter arc but i swear i remember this being available as one part
thanks again for this amazing video! i was confused tho which one to get first but this video helped me to buy the right set and ill be waiting for the pagani porsche and the mclaren reviews too keep it up racing brick!
04:08 I’m surprised they fitted stud shooters into this model, yet the James Bond Aston Martin DB5 doesn’t! 😂 08:51 It’s a nice build. As per usual with SC sets they’re great homages to the original cars but I always cringe when people call them “models”. But like I said for SC this is pretty good, as the Ferrari sets always tend to be (it’s usually the Porsche sets that are the worst in terms of build, stickers etc IMHO).
I'm gonna buy this in 3 weeks when it comes out, also getting the r34 skyline because a store in my country has it available for preorder now and it will ship on the same day as the ferarri😄👍👌
This is actually my favourite of the whole wave, it would be the F1/Solus double pack, but I don’t like the Solus. Plus, I love the 812, spent hours in F12’s, and look forward to doing the same in an 812!
I like this one, will be getting all 4 Speed Champions sets on day 1. I just wish Lego would print the stickers on a clear backing, as they do for some sets, as this would avoid situations, that you get in some sets, where the colour of the sticker and host brick don't quite match.
The sloped arches over the front wheels could bei reproduced ba 1x4 curved slopes (2 plates high and tiled, basically a very Low arch). Those stud shooters are cool ☺️
I'm not a fan of Ferrari at all, I am a fan of Lamborghini, but surprisingly this model looks very nice to me! I really like the long and slick nose, nice colors and all the other things. And speaking of lambo, I really don't like how they did lamborghini cars in speed champions.
I didn´t think that I would favor this model from the actual lineup, but it looks better than expected. Still not a great fan of the mandatory sticker placement (combination of printed parts and stickers for the same racing stripes), but the shaping is impressive. Very excited to see the McLaren F1 and I think the Pagani might be the best one concerning the brick-built solutions.
I know it’s speed champions, but I’d like to see at least one set next wave that focuses on something different, my dream would be an off-road pick up, which would give us tons of new parts. Would love to see a larger utility windshield as well.
I agree 100%. I would not give this car a second look as a standard model kit or a diecast replica say by Jada, but so many of these models, like that green Lotus was about the build and how neat it is that they reproduce the look than it is about love for the actual car. With Dom's 70 Charger and the 70 Challenger it was about both the love of the car and about the fun of the build. On that note, I just built Brian's Nissan Skyline. VERY cool! The graphics look great and the car itself looks amazing. Highly recommend it. If you can find one, GRAB IT because they sell out FAST!
OMFG HELL YES!!!! That new cockpit design is finally gonna make creating Subaru STi's and Mitsubishi Evo's a dream come true, and all other performance Sedans too! Also, when creating a Coupe, you will have a ton more interior space for far more interior designs as well! I support this change! Also the new Fender piece is finally fixed! The top level can be Tiled and be even with the fender, FINALLY! Also, that corner piece won't be so annoying to get pieces into anymore as they used to have to angle the pieces in to not hit the edge of the fender itself! So glad this was addressed! I can't wait to see what they do next to make creating cars more fun, but any much more than this and these pieces will specifically be only for cars and lose the "any brick for anything" feel that LEGO is known for. Right now its all good things and all good changes as it still retains that feel, but if they do too much more then it will make these pieces feel difficult to use for anything other than a vehicle! I'm not sure if I would mind that or not, as vehicles are my favorite thing to create, but every LEGO brick has to have an open creativity to it, ya know? We shall see! but for now, DAMN FINE JOB FIXING THESE PIECES LEGO! THANK YOU!
I love the 812 superfast and competizione, but I’m the biggest fan of this color scheme. Would’ve bought it if it wasn’t red and yellow. I did buy the Porsche 963 though!
Thoughts on the new elements, car designs, etc: honestly so happy they made the chassis piece lower and brought in the new fenders as well. This was my number one gripe with the speed champions line, and they solved it perfectly. I think the next major problem to solve is the length of the car in front of the front wheel. Very often when you take a picture of the lego model's side profile and compare it with the real thing, the lego one is longer! Its a nice challenge for MOC builders, but i think lego is so close to getting perfection with these speed champions models now, they can definitely go the extra mile to finish rhe job. Lastly (i think this one is a stretch), lego could introduce new windscreen pieces which are more accurate to certain cars instead of using the generic one they've had now (some cars have slightly wider windscreens than others, like lamborghinis), but i definitely appreciate the two new windscreen pieces they already made for the pagani and solus/porsche. Overall though really happy with the rapid improvements from the designers.
Agreed about the windscreens. They account for so much of a car’s iconic look that it’s probably impossible to find a mould that satisfies most applications. Lego are also stuck to system demands where the previous roofs either had to taper up to 6 studs or 4 to match existing elements. Really tricky. Will be interesting to see how they evolve this aspect of future cars.
I like evolving the line and pieces for more utility. But I wish they would make all these revisions at the same time. It seems like every year they're changing something about the piece and design continuity that makes it hard for collecting and homogenization of the line.
A lot of concerns aren’t apparent until the final models arrive and fans respond with criticisms. There are also budget and time considerations attached to new the development of new elements for each line. There’s no way to ask someone to make their evolution in one single step and then stop for the next several years.
@@wai0937 But like it is stated, They change something almost every year. It makes the whole line inconsistent, Its one of the reasons I've held off trying to collect these things. They're all pretty different. Not even counting the change in scale.
@@117johnpar I'm not sure how you expect to get around that, though. Improvements inevitably create differences between old and new. You can't expect everything to have stayed the same from Wave 1 til now. And it's not like they're such sweeping changes that the cars don't look right next to eachother. They're subtle.
@@117johnpar I think the sets are pretty consistent. The average fan wouldn’t notice most of these changes. And I don’t know if delaying is the answer. Take the sticker red headlight problem from the Toyota Supra. If not fixed for subsequent years, fans would just complain that Lego have done nothing to fix an existing issue.
I'm interested if the new chassis piece managed to solve the issue of the windshield piece not being able to close properly because of the minifigure helmet
I want to see 8 stud wide 4 seater SUV like vehicles/MOCs/OfficialLEGO builds using the new chassis piece. Need an 8 stud wide Mercedes G Wagon lifted 😂🔥
One thing that bothers me on this car, and it's the same on the Skyline, is that row of upside-down studs below the door sill. I get that you want the thin black line, and the little relief, but I wish there was a solution without those studs at the bottom.
This is my favourite set from this wave of sets. I can't wait for the review of the mclaren double pack. Do you think we will see more SUVs that will use the new chassis piece?
It's the new generation Bond car, with fire shooting exhaust 😁. Will I be adding it to my collection, of course I will. As always, your builds and opinions are greatly appreciated.
It my opinion, they should stick with the stability of the build, based on what I've seen a lot of lego sets are stable even if there pretty much alike in the construction of detail of new speed champions sets
It’s really ironic but this video has 812 comments at the time of me writing this comment but I will give t a 👍 for sure. Great videos keep up the good work
This new wave is amazing. I’m going to guess that the 1x1 brick at the rear can’t be printed on two sides because the printing machine would have a very hard time printing the 2nd print on the correct side. Easier to print just the one side and let the builder apply stickers for right and left sides.

Which other 2 cars are you more interested in? That gray utopia really did it for me this year and the orange mc Lauren for sure!
@@dapperdanny2957 You have great taste, sir! Can't wait to build them.
A huge fan of this, the progression of the speed champions range is impressive
Well I am so surprised how good it turned out! Wow! Thanks and best regards from Poland man 🇵🇱🤘
I'm super excited for the new sets. Can't wait for them to release. I'm still trying to get my hands on the R34.
It is a real beauty! Amazing job and congrats to Chris and his team! :)
These are my most anticipated reviews from your channel. You continue to deliver the best analysis of the sets from a car fan and Lego enthusiast’s perspective. Thank you for the side by side comparisons to real photos and previous sets. Looking forward to the other set reviews!
Bro tbh I just love all of em 💯🔥
I just built this set... one of my favorite builds! The proportions look great with the updated pieces. Speed Champions is definitely trending in the right direction. Cant wait to build the rest of the 2023 models released so far!
The shooter-as-exhaust tip is probably my favorite thing from all of the new Speed Champion sets.
Beautiful set, tiles over the fenders make a world of difference!
Congratulation from Italy for your pronunce of Competizione. Always a great video!
I like the overall design of the Ferrari 812 Competizione in real life. I think it looks pretty good, it might not be one of my favorite all time supercars.

Awesome build with the changes. I enjoy how you breakdown the subtle differences. It would be interesting to retrofit an Aston Martin or similar with some of the new chassis/other pieces and see the outcome.
you are the reason why im so obsessed with speed champions and why i have so many 😂
Speed champions always comes with great improvement each year, as a fan of lego and car models (especially ferrari) this is more than great
Hey, thanks for the review! You are great at it as always. In my opinion this is the best ferrari from the speed champions lineup, totally adding it to the collection!
crazy good looking Ferrari. cannot wait
Some amazing details in this build.
Definitely my favorite from this new March wave. Really like the improvements to the chassis, and fender pieces. Should be plenty useful in cars to come as well as independent mocs. Also really glad to see the trend for printed head lights, and tail lights are continuing into 23. Looking forward to the detailed reviews of the rest of the wave though personally really like how the two pack McLaren turned out.
The releases so far of the Speed Champions theme is so-far really nice!
I like so much ur reviews its well managed and all the interesting parts of the lego are explained or just showed. I really like your work...
I love it, this 812 is a beauty, very well done by lego.
Super vidéo once again :)
Great Review! Love your channel!
I think this is the best looking Speed Champions set ever. Nice proportions overall :)
I absolutely love this build
So looking forward to when these come out in March always love when Lego releases new speed champions sets looking forward to the McLaren two pack the most
nice, been waiting for this one
This set impressed me more than I expected it to. Some suggestions for improvement:
1) The yellow stripe can be fully brick-built (for those, like myself, who detest stickers).
2) The proportions can be improved by shifting the windscreen and slopes behind it forward by half a stud (the headrests are then lost but the interior is otherwise unaffected).
3) The exhausts fit better connected to 1x1 SNOT bricks (replacing the headlight bricks and 1x1 round plates).
4) An engine block will fit nicely in place of the yellow 2x3 brick in the front.
The red, black and yellow look really good together on the Ferrari
Yeah, Lego really nailed it this year with speed champions, I’ll be getting all of the first batch. Last year I didn’t get the charger and db5 only because I have the big ones.
I'm not a fan of stickers, like most, but the thing that is bothering me a lot with these newer Speed Champions is the manual not showing where the stickered pieces go until after you finish putting the bricks in place. You either have to stuggle to get them aligned on the model or take them off again. Jut show us where to put the stickers before we attach the bricks to the car.
I've just finished building the last of my 2022 speed champions over this past weekend and am definitely looking forward to this years offering.
Yes thx racing brick I have been waiting for this video 🎉🎉🎉 and Hello from South Africa
my next wish is a new steering wheel piece that makes it easier to have it centred in front of the seat + looks better (maybe swappable steering wheels too)
found this set tucked between the shelves at my local walmart (thought it released in march) and part of this build is making me feel like im crazy. right above the tail lights, theres a radius 2 quarter circle (shown at 5:09) thats made out of a radius 1 quarter circle and a radius 2 quarter arc but i swear i remember this being available as one part
Great videos as always !
Happy to discover the next generation thanks to you :)
Say congratulations to Chris from me 😊
I liked. Going to buy all the March sets.
thanks again for this amazing video! i was confused tho which one to get first but this video helped me to buy the right set and ill be waiting for the pagani porsche and the mclaren reviews too keep it up racing brick!
love those kind of videos, cant w8 for the mclaren f1 one:)
04:08 I’m surprised they fitted stud shooters into this model, yet the James Bond Aston Martin DB5 doesn’t! 😂
08:51 It’s a nice build. As per usual with SC sets they’re great homages to the original cars but I always cringe when people call them “models”.
But like I said for SC this is pretty good, as the Ferrari sets always tend to be (it’s usually the Porsche sets that are the worst in terms of build, stickers etc IMHO).
I like it as a car fan, tnx for the video. Hope the porsche looks as good as well👍
The sets keep getting better every generation, but the cars aren't the most exciting subjects. Only the McLaren F1 really inspires me.
I'm gonna buy this in 3 weeks when it comes out, also getting the r34 skyline because a store in my country has it available for preorder now and it will ship on the same day as the ferarri😄👍👌
This is actually my favourite of the whole wave, it would be the F1/Solus double pack, but I don’t like the Solus. Plus, I love the 812, spent hours in F12’s, and look forward to doing the same in an 812!
I love how Speed Champions give a really similar building experience from a €150 display set, but costing only €20. Just amazing!
For mine I couldn’t find the seat blocks that the Ferrari logo goes on #19
I'm surprised they haven't made a new steering wheel piece to have them not be misaligned with the driver's seat.
Balazs, wonderful presentation of this car. Ferrari should hire you 😉. Usually I collect bigger cars but this one is really nice and I will buy it.
I like this one, will be getting all 4 Speed Champions sets on day 1.
I just wish Lego would print the stickers on a clear backing, as they do for some sets, as this would avoid situations, that you get in some sets, where the colour of the sticker and host brick don't quite match.
Print the same way that they do the Porsche 911 (6stud wide)
The sloped arches over the front wheels could bei reproduced ba 1x4 curved slopes (2 plates high and tiled, basically a very Low arch).
Those stud shooters are cool ☺️
I'm not a fan of Ferrari at all, I am a fan of Lamborghini, but surprisingly this model looks very nice to me! I really like the long and slick nose, nice colors and all the other things. And speaking of lambo, I really don't like how they did lamborghini cars in speed champions.
The new chassis piece will be EXTREMELY useful
Stop showing off your fancy new speed champions after I spent all my money on the 2022 speed champions!
7:40 I will add Tile 1 x 2 with groove as car plate.
Speed Champions offer amazing value for money.
I didn´t think that I would favor this model from the actual lineup, but it looks better than expected. Still not a great fan of the mandatory sticker placement (combination of printed parts and stickers for the same racing stripes), but the shaping is impressive. Very excited to see the McLaren F1 and I think the Pagani might be the best one concerning the brick-built solutions.
Next time you chat with Chris maybe we can give him some ideas. I'm thinking... Speed champions Ram TRX?
Front photo is taken somewhere on the Fairmont Hairpin. The building with dome is Hotel Metropole
This one might be the only one i get this year, considering the pagani because it is a really cool car brand.
I know it’s speed champions, but I’d like to see at least one set next wave that focuses on something different, my dream would be an off-road pick up, which would give us tons of new parts. Would love to see a larger utility windshield as well.
I agree 100%. I would not give this car a second look as a standard model kit or a diecast replica say by Jada, but so many of these models, like that green Lotus was about the build and how neat it is that they reproduce the look than it is about love for the actual car.

On that note, I just built Brian's Nissan Skyline. VERY cool! The graphics look great and the car itself looks amazing. Highly recommend it. If you can find one, GRAB IT because they sell out FAST!
You are wrong. I have seen many lego Gtr f&f car in shops. At least 1 to 5.. Per visit 😅
i like watching this while having the actual lego car
I found the location on the front of the box, 43.74079° N, 7.42913° E
Second location,
43.74487° N, 7.43231° E
OMFG HELL YES!!!! That new cockpit design is finally gonna make creating Subaru STi's and Mitsubishi Evo's a dream come true, and all other performance Sedans too! Also, when creating a Coupe, you will have a ton more interior space for far more interior designs as well! I support this change!
Also the new Fender piece is finally fixed! The top level can be Tiled and be even with the fender, FINALLY! Also, that corner piece won't be so annoying to get pieces into anymore as they used to have to angle the pieces in to not hit the edge of the fender itself! So glad this was addressed!
I can't wait to see what they do next to make creating cars more fun, but any much more than this and these pieces will specifically be only for cars and lose the "any brick for anything" feel that LEGO is known for. Right now its all good things and all good changes as it still retains that feel, but if they do too much more then it will make these pieces feel difficult to use for anything other than a vehicle! I'm not sure if I would mind that or not, as vehicles are my favorite thing to create, but every LEGO brick has to have an open creativity to it, ya know? We shall see! but for now, DAMN FINE JOB FIXING THESE PIECES LEGO! THANK YOU!
The corner on the front of the box is the Mirabeau Haute
I love the 812 superfast and competizione, but I’m the biggest fan of this color scheme. Would’ve bought it if it wasn’t red and yellow. I did buy the Porsche 963 though!

I’ll wait for this one to go on sale the mclarens and pagani are at the top for me
1:02 The "true" old Formula 1 fans will recognize this view, i hope someone make background print or photom to make stand for this car)
I like evolving the line and pieces for more utility. But I wish they would make all these revisions at the same time. It seems like every year they're changing something about the piece and design continuity that makes it hard for collecting and homogenization of the line.

There’s no way to ask someone to make their evolution in one single step and then stop for the next several years.
@@wai0937 But like it is stated, They change something almost every year. It makes the whole line inconsistent, Its one of the reasons I've held off trying to collect these things. They're all pretty different. Not even counting the change in scale.
@@117johnpar I'm not sure how you expect to get around that, though. Improvements inevitably create differences between old and new. You can't expect everything to have stayed the same from Wave 1 til now. And it's not like they're such sweeping changes that the cars don't look right next to eachother. They're subtle.
@@wai0937 Delaying changes for a few years. I dont expect it to never evolve. Its not one or the other. Im literally wanting just some consistency.
@@117johnpar I think the sets are pretty consistent. The average fan wouldn’t notice most of these changes. And I don’t know if delaying is the answer. Take the sticker red headlight problem from the Toyota Supra. If not fixed for subsequent years, fans would just complain that Lego have done nothing to fix an existing issue.
I have this lego set and it looks easy to build but it was actually a challenge for me to build
Besides the McLaren F1, this is my favourite one this year
I'm interested if the new chassis piece managed to solve the issue of the windshield piece not being able to close properly because of the minifigure helmet
Finally!😄
"it's heart will live on, in an SUV" I just did a mental spit-take so as not to ruin my laptop. LOL
I want to see 8 stud wide 4 seater SUV like vehicles/MOCs/OfficialLEGO builds using the new chassis piece. Need an 8 stud wide Mercedes G Wagon lifted 😂🔥
this looks good as i cant decide wether I want the contach or this one now...
The 2 two 1x4 stickers with the yellow strip are not centered perfectly, making it impossible to align with the other stickers.
One thing that bothers me on this car, and it's the same on the Skyline, is that row of upside-down studs below the door sill. I get that you want the thin black line, and the little relief, but I wish there was a solution without those studs at the bottom.
They should have added a license plate like irl on the black studs at the back
This is my favourite set from this wave of sets. I can't wait for the review of the mclaren double pack. Do you think we will see more SUVs that will use the new chassis piece?
I'm not super excited about SUVs but I'd love to see some off-road vehicles :)
Shoot, orange circles
Do you like Porsche 963 or Ferrari 812 competition
Man really found where the box art background is in irl, now I wonder why they chose Monaco not somewhere in Italy
It's the new generation Bond car, with fire shooting exhaust 😁.
Will I be adding it to my collection, of course I will. As always, your builds and opinions are greatly appreciated.
It my opinion, they should stick with the stability of the build, based on what I've seen a lot of lego sets are stable even if there pretty much alike in the construction of detail of new speed champions sets
10/10
It’s really ironic but this video has 812 comments at the time of me writing this comment but I will give t a 👍 for sure. Great videos keep up the good work
This new wave is amazing. I’m going to guess that the 1x1 brick at the rear can’t be printed on two sides because the printing machine would have a very hard time printing the 2nd print on the correct side. Easier to print just the one side and let the builder apply stickers for right and left sides.
If they can do two face prints exactly opposite each other on a round piece, surely they can print two sides of a square piece...
