@@Zeniththedragon5No. Kick is a streaming website like Twitch and UA-cam. The actual sponsor on the Sauber car that is controversial is Stake which is a gambling company.
The Kick car is actually a Stake car in real life. This means that Lego purposely made the decision to scrub any mentions of the actual gambling site from the set.
Kick is owned by Stake. So they really went a step further than just scrap the betting site. I believe in certain countries selling a kids toy with betting marketing on it would be a violation. So the set would be unattainable in certain countries with really strict gambling laws. RB being 18+ was the only way to get that set on the market. While many countries sell energy drinks also to kids. I know it's bad. In my country for example there are no restrictions on either Energy drinks nor betting sites. But this is the way they could get past the threshold to sell these sets. And I doubt the RB car would not be attainable for kids in many countries. But I wonder if stores will get into trouble if some kid who loves F1 walking about the door with that set.
An entire CMF series of the same thing in different colors and an entire wave of Speed Champions in basically different colors with different stickers, and then a few of the city sets are basically just remakes of the original Speed Champions sets with different cars. I don’t dislike a lot of this stuff but as someone who always buys a full case of CMFs and also owns every single Speed Champions set released so far, this just looks like potentially spending a lot of money to basically get the same things over and over in different colors if I want to keep up with the SC sets and not miss a CMF series.
This makes me wish for a full on Nascar subtheme, knowing we got a singular Nascar set I just hope to see Daytona or Talledega as playsets/models in the future. I'm for sure getting all of the F1 cars both cmf and speed champions!
@@Homarid NASCAR is an American brand. Formula 1 is a global brand. If NASCAR was a global brand we would’ve already gotten a NASCAR collaboration. LEGO thinks about more than just sales in the American market because LEGO is also a global brand
@@BaDArxz LEGO already has the NASCAR license. They’ve made a NASCAR technic car. Just because LEGO isn’t collaborating with NASCAR doesn’t mean they didn’t get the license and make a couple sets about it. Collaborations, sponsorships and licenses aren’t synonymous
NBA champs are world champions right? Haha, Nascar sounds like fun but would not sell on a global market. I'm willing to bet that the single car released last year didn't do that well.
The Red Bull cars make me wonder how close we are to a Budweiser NASCAR. Something i wouldn’t be opposed to. Kick is absolutely wild and LEGO shouldn’t have done it. Also crazy how many of these there are and just how similar the cars are.

Honestly I don’t hate the CRCs (Collectable Race Cars). They’re certainly odd and a waste of a Collectable series, but at least they’re good value and give you a cool helmet, plus they remind me of the early Racers impulse sets like you said. The black and green helmet could be useful for a retro M-Tron/Blacktron fig.
Honestly disappointed in LEGO for allowing that kick sponsored car… Edit: girl you aren’t too sensitive for questioning that sponsorship especially to me that just feels like a 180 from the “everyone is awesome” set
What's kinda funny is that these F1 blind boxes are the one time where the boxes don't get in the way (without a code), since every pull is physically the same parts from what I can tell, so feeling them in a packet would've been useless.
If Lego Collectibles does Minecraft mobs, or even media beasts like smallscale DND, I would love that. Though Minecraft does stay in a similar scale while DND is... everywhere.
I mean it is somewhat nice for f1 fans to have all of these cars but for non-f1 enthusiasts, I don’t think they will buy more than 2 at max of these f1 cars. I don’t think anyone who is not a f1 fan is buying a visa or kick or williams or moneygrams compared to more famous brands like Mclaren, Ferrari, or Mercedes tbh
I might pick up a couple of the collectible cars, cus those helmets are nice. I really enjoy the lifeguard truck and offroad truck. I think I'll get them and convert them into post-apocalyptic scavenger vehicles. I wish the F1 City cars had in-universe sponsors (like Vita Rush, Octan, maybe go beyond City with stuff like Borg Industries) I thought Lego was done making Shell sets! The environmental activists aren't gonna be happy.
The cars are pretty cool, but I love the scrap yard! Very cool concept for a set! Given the high standards of LEGO, I am surprised the KICK car exists and isn't 18+.
I love the off road and beach jeep, having said that I think we will see CMF continue, but considering we just got a look at series 27 (and that’s not including the spin-off Cmfs like DC, Ninjago, Lego Batman, etc.) I imagine it can be difficult for Lego to come up with new ideas and concepts for minfigs.
I think the same thing, If Red Bull is 18+ kick should be too. But I actually have the opposite at the same time... Was Red Bull being 18+ a regulation by law, by Lego or by Red Bull? Regardless I think protecting kids from the "dangerous" concept of an energy drink is something the parents should do, we had Red Bull in the house and my parents educated me on the effects of it. Most kids won't even think about the brands on the cars anyway. Better safe than sorry I guess, but now that expression REALLY applies to KICK, a kid would actually be compelled to go on the site if Lego says it's ok.
Kick was literally founded by the founders of a gambling site. It’s basically just a site meant to promote gambling and awful political takes. Can’t believe Lego indirectly partnered with them
IMO what they should've done is give us the Speed Champions sets with yellow F1 drivers and then used the collectible cars to give us the mini cars along with the actual drivers heads. That way people buying the Speed Champions sets might also go for the collectible cars to replace the heads with the actual people and have flesh tone heads instead of yellow ones. I can't believe I'm actually giving Lego more anti-consumer ideas. I feel sick
Okay I saw these and I remembered a Lego happy meal toy. It was a series of race cars made of 3 pieces each and you could combine different layers (bottom middle and top) does anyone remember these?
I hadn't even noticed the age ratings, but I totally see your point about the kick branding if an energy drink isn't acceptable for 10+. The cars look pretty good with variations for each car on the air intake (bit at the top behind driver) and the side pods.
The most interesting thing here are the fact a couple of the F1 sets are marked as 18+ sets, which I think could open the door more 18+ themed speed champion sets from more adult oriented shows/series which will be interesting to see. Other than that though I'm kinda torn, 10 of the same repetitive build is insane and I'm not interested in that at all yet I also don't want to miss out on any since I love collecting all the 8 stud SC sets, plus the resell market is nuts and I do expect price scalpers to target the F1 sets heavily. I dunno, not a fan overall honestly and even a fair few die hard F1 fans have been really disappointed by the wave so.. yeah The city sets are kinda neat though honestly and the CMF esque ones are interesting

Here’s hoping in 2026 we get a Lego Castle or Pirates gets the “Super theme.” I already see speed champions stuff go on clearance fairly regularly at my local stores, and now Lego’s turning City and CMF into Speed Champions? It’s just gonna cannibalize sales!
I kinda like the series tbh. I'm not an F1 fan AT ALL but if this opens the door for CMF series to become slightly more like polybags with more elaborate mini builds or accessories for the figures that could be AWESOME
I’m an F1 fan and I’m glad we’re finally getting every team. I do agree that all of the sponsors are silly (and not the most ethical) but as someone who wants accuracy I’m fine with it. The city F1 cars have no appeal to me, why would I buy a dumbed down version of the speed champions model (its great for the kids though). I will add because you mentioned it, you said Haas right, but you said Alpine wrong.
What I’m curious about is the fact that they’re working with chell again. Since they ended their partnership like a decade ago after controversy. Just feels weird
The sauber is missing a vital part of the name which is why I thinks it's 10+ instead of 18+ as the teams full name is Stake F1 team Kick sauber and stake is a gambling site
10:07 I would argue that Red bull is 18+ not because Lego feels like it, but because in europe you need to be 18 to buy energy drinks. You don't have to be 18 to use kick
Not correct. Each country has it’s own laws and restrictions. Here in Sweden, there is no age restriction on energy drinks. There’s recommendations of 15+, but that is NOT to be confused with restrictions or laws. It is basically entirely up to each store what age limit they want to have, if any at all.
@Inyria still, in many countries energy drinks have been recently made an adult drink. It doesn't matter that not every country has done so, the fact that some did seems to be enough of a reason for this choice.
@ That is you speculating what their reasoning behind it is. And I also just pointed it out as you said ”in Europe”, indicating all of Europe and not ”in parts of Europe”. Hence why I just clarified.
@Inyria Of course I'm speculating, that's why I said that I would argue it's the reason for it. We most likely won't ever officially know the reason for it, but that feels like the simplest explanation. And I don't really feel like this needed clarification at all, but whatever^^
Honestly wondering if trying to sell identical builds in different colors is lowkey a Bionicle market test (all our fandom can do is grasp at straws lmao)
On the pronounciation note, Haas is a soft S rather than a Z sound and Alpine is French so it’s pronounced Al-peen. And VCARB is usually said like a word. Vee-carb! 😊
As a formula 1 fan I’m super hyped for the F1 CMFs, particularly the redbull, Ferrari and Mclaren versions. For the city sets I will be buying the Mclaren city 6+ racer and the Ferrari pit stop with pit crew; and I might pull the trigger on the F1 truck just because it has the red bull racer. For the speed champions I’ll be buying the redbull, Ferrari and Mclaren versions. If you can’t tell the 3 teams I have any interest in are redbull, Ferrari and Mclaren
may get the Ferrari one as bit of a replacement for the old Ferrari F1 cars i had at one point with the old ones, and the blue and white F1 car may fit well as a Stark Industries branded car
I actually like the little f1 cars as they are probably going to be minifigure scale in terms of height. Also I find it funny that redbull is 18+ and the kick and Aramco being 10+. Saudi Aramco is a an EVIL oil company.
I think the ones in City are the most controversal because they are licensed. Personally, I don't think its a big deal. I don't see it as being any different than the Space sets that were put out in early 2024, which were NASA licensed.
It's kind of a big deal. There's a huge difference between a collaboration with a national space agency, a scientific institution and a streaming site propped up by crypto gambling where all the nazis, bigots and pedos flee to when they are kicked off of youtube and twitch. Also, cash app is also problematic since it's the #1 favorite finance app of criminals.
I’m pretty sure Lego when making the age limits don’t really focus too much around what’s going around, the general audience themselves don’t really know what kick is, I doubt the people up in Denmark do either. Plus let’s be honest, no one outside of the die hard Lego community memebers cares about 10+ or 18+, Lego at it’s principal is for all ages
I don't really care about most of the F1 stuff, but I'm definitely getting at least two or three of those collectable race cars. Speaking of which, Brickset says that they're getting to be five dollars US,not four.
I think I will probably get the f1 blind box collection, mainly for my grandsons, but no idea how they can be displayed. I like the scrapyard set and the F1 truck set but im not sure if theyll be worth the aussie prices. My oldest grandson will most likely want the speed champs sets for his collection, i do like the helmets and steering wheel (not controller), but this years lineup seems to leave out the non car collectors 🤷🏼♀️
Coming from a family who’s very into F1 I’m very excited for the sets I’m very curious to see if the 10+ cars will have the actual Drivers as Lego minifigs like for Example Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, Carlos Sainz Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, Valterri Bottas, etc.
some of these sponsors… I thought Lego was done with Shell but they’re back, alongside Gulf? Also Kick is a cesspool of gambling and far-right nut jobs. I know some of these are somewhat indirect sponsors but I’m disappointed in them for this
@@FanOfDeadpool758 LEGO thinks this will sell. LEGO is global. Formula 1 is global. LEGO doesn’t make every decision just for the American market. Just because these sets might not sell well in the USA doesn’t mean they won’t sell big time across the world
I'd argue that the Marvel and DC partnerships are much more controversial. Since there is a lot of violence in those movies. And they are not really kid friendly. F1 might not be the needed IP but this is interesting to see. This is the second time they do a brand wide secondary IP with the last one being Space. Which is their own IP. So who knows what they'll do next.
i'm shocked a brand like lego partnered with Kick. You are not being sensetive at all, Sarah. There are some extremely degenerate things that have been streamed on Kick and a lot of the people who own it are pretty messed up as well.
I think you are being reasonable with the kick car, genuinely really bad, and I think most other people think so. That aside I don't think these sets are very good for the simple fact that Its basically the same car over and over and over and over again. Thank god for the junk yard.
I don't care about cars. All of these f1 cars look the same to me. The only thing that's different about them all is the color of the vehicle. Lego won't be getting any of my money on this stuff.
As someone who collects speed champions sets and does really care for formula 1 cars this wave is going to be pass for me. Here’s to hoping they make some more vintage muscle cars for 2026.
“How many F1 cars should we release this year?”
LEGO: “Yes.”
seriously i think some of these will shelfwarm
@@just2goodAgreed, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Blind Boxes specifically are part of it. At least give us build variance!

Kick logo on a Lego box feels icky, did Lego not do any background checks? That site is a host of many awful people
Awesome video Just2good
This looks really cool, that I might actually buy!
Did we need this partnership?
@@FanOfDeadpool758 LEGO thinks this will sell. LEGO is global. Formula 1 is global. LEGO doesn’t make every decision just for the American market. Just because these sets might not sell well in the USA doesn’t mean they won’t sell big time across the world
100%
I'd argue that the Marvel and DC partnerships are much more controversial. Since there is a lot of violence in those movies. And they are not really kid friendly. F1 might not be the needed IP but this is interesting to see. This is the second time they do a brand wide secondary IP with the last one being Space. Which is their own IP. So who knows what they'll do next.
i'm shocked a brand like lego partnered with Kick. You are not being sensetive at all, Sarah. There are some extremely degenerate things that have been streamed on Kick and a lot of the people who own it are pretty messed up as well.
We get a Kick branded set but not a UA-cam one
@@TailsRomanoff1994 that’s because kick is tied to the formula 1 collaboration. LEGO has no collaboration with UA-cam in any way shape or form
Where is Checo Perez minifig? 😂
Replaced by a Liam Lawson minifig
9:06 I’m worried they’re just helmets tbh. I don’t buy these tho sooooo…… idk
Everyone complaining about Red Bull as though children have never exposed to the brand before.
I think you are being reasonable with the kick car, genuinely really bad, and I think most other people think so. That aside I don't think these sets are very good for the simple fact that Its basically the same car over and over and over and over again. Thank god for the junk yard.
I don't care about cars. All of these f1 cars look the same to me. The only thing that's different about them all is the color of the vehicle. Lego won't be getting any of my money on this stuff.
@@thebrickninja1170 “all of these f1 cars look the same to me” that’s the point
You should look closer. The builds are significantly different.
It’s pathetic that people are angry over branding on cars like grow up people most of you are in your late 30s
If it’s a brand is not suitable for children then it shouldn’t be aged as on a toy made for kids plain and simple
As someone who collects speed champions sets and does really care for formula 1 cars this wave is going to be pass for me. Here’s to hoping they make some more vintage muscle cars for 2026.
