The transition from 6-wide to 8-wide Speed Champions will go down as a revolutionary moment in Lego's history. It's given us some of THE best and most innovative building techniques of all time, it's resulted in a slew of new parts moulds, and very interesting collaborations with different brands. I can't wait to see what else the Speed Champions team gives us next. Absolutely phenomenal theme, #1 for me, followed by Friends and Monkie Kid.
@oliverralph79377 ай бұрын
The decision made me understand the point of Speed Champions as a concept. Before, they looked like caricatured versions of what the vehicle was supposed to be. Now they look so much better, and so much more like collectible models. The argument that the 6-wide ones fit better in LEGO city layouts never held much water for me as the aesthetic was completely different anyway.

I keep wanting Lego to bring back one of my favourite lines of the early 90s - Model Team, where they made there most realistic sets that they could at that time. I now see that they don't need to bring it back - because they are producing hyper-realistic sets at the smallest scale possible - without needing to go supersize anymore. That truck honestly give me that old Model-Team feeling, which makes me want Lego to perhaps now branch out from cars exclusively in the Speed Champions line - and make hyper-realistic boats/helicopters/light aircraft at this scale too now, just like Model Team did.

East Europe here. The G wagon is an iconic mafia mobster car from the 90s. Its iconic, with the black color it represents the menace of a car very well. Funny trivia: once I spoke to a mercedes car dealer asking why the doors slam like on an old Lada considering this is a 100k € vehicle. He goes, mercedes decided to keep this “feature” also on the exclusive premium models so that 90s era mafia members can enjoy the nostalgia😂

@aat83457 ай бұрын
My only problem is that the rear of the SL63 is one stud too long IMO. Good set overall. All UK double-pack sets are £45 whereas as all single-packs are £21 so we actually pay more for a double pack than buying two individuals sets by a few pounds which is kind of annoying considering the US price.

Excellent, as always, in depth review. I like these longer reviews, so for me there's no need to watch one half the length. I bought this and the other 2 pack, and was shocked at how much larger the box was for this two pack. They just arrived Saturday and I can't wait to build them. The SUV seems massive - way bigger/more dense than I thought when I looked at the set online. I do think these 2-packs offer a better value than the single cars [though as a completionist for Speed Champions, I buy all the sets]. I do wish the single cars, at $27 USD, came with small side builds that the first generation of cars came with. But I do like that for the money, you're getting nearly always an amazing build process and not needing to spend $450+ to get that. These are technically some of the most well-engineered Lego sets TLG makes and I am happy to purchase them. And heck, even the poly bag versions of Speed Champions are well done. I'd love to see a documentary on how a designer creates these Lego versions. Truly Master Builder stuff!

Im kind of torn on this set. The cars do look great but I think the G wagon might have passed the limit on how over-scaled lego cars can be before they look wrong alongside minifigs. I would have loved to see a comparison to other large "8 stud" speed champions vehicles, namely the ipace, Urus, and Bronco. The G wagon does really look good but it looks like it's almost as big as the cars from the Creator and Icons lines

Speaking of 2 packs, one with a classic VW Bus and VW Beetle would be awesome (Or maybe one with a classic VW Bus and the new I.D. Buzz). Not sure if they really count as "Speed" Champions, but it's not like the G Wagon is a sports car either. And the sports cars are starting to feel a bit samey to me.
