LEGO 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 with Paul Walker minifig - Speed Champions 2023

[@Gzilla313]

I appreciate the level of passion the designer clearly has for the products he presents. Other teams that are interviewed it feels like it's just a job to them.

*cough* star wars *cough*

[@syberracer2984]

You can tell Chris is a real petrol-head and loves cars just as much as we do. It truly is amazing to see.

[@fromis.9]

Sounds like he don't know his stuff

[@mattswank]

I’m also loving the detail they are getting to pack in here. I know Lego has some strong thoughts on over complicating things and why Mocs end up looking better because they can do more complex builds that create more accurate angles. It’s looking like these are finally starting to look closer to the actual cars, so far, many speed champion sets fall short in proportions pretty heavily except for some of the newer ones. This is an exciting step!

[@RacingBrick]

Those better looking MOCs are way too fragile most of the time, simple as that :)

[@gibesuzukipls689]

I feel Brian would be proud of the level of detail in this build! RIP Paul; he would be proud too 💙

[@eliascabrera1610]

Well miss you For Paul. 😔

[@DoorTechnicianRick]

If you see how little lego Star Wars seems to care about what the fans want and how little they know about the franchise, I'm so happy that speed champions has such passionate designers

[@Peter_McNutt]

I said something similar after I built the Mighty Bowser. The other lego teams should really collaborate and take notes from Lego Nintendo and Speed Champions to learn a thing or two about a thing or two.

[@JackAttaak]

Having worked with movie licenses myself, I assume the Star Wars license is a big part of that disconnect. They seem to be locking down a lot of the material that would normally be used for reference by set designers in order to reduce spoilers. And Disney might have an overall product strategy that dictates what Lego can release. All speculation or course, but I don't think it's as simple as some fans make it out to be.

[@Montyh7]

Utter rubbish, that sounds like another sweeping statement by a SW fan. If you watched the interviews, they seem to care a great deal. SW fans however are notoriously hard to please. I won't like what you like and then someone else wants something different. Someone will want a clone trooper, someone else a stormtrooper, someone else character from a current show, the size of the SW universe and the different opinions of the fans (I enjoyed Obi, loving Andor and Mando, but others hated Obi, think Andor is boring) make SW one of the hardest IP's to create for and honestly, I thought this year had excellent sets. So who do they please? You, me, someone else?

[@DoorTechnicianRick]

@@Montyh7 Let me tell you some of the facts behind my statement 1) Wana talk about the interviews ? The creators called the republic gunship a ship from the original trilogy... 2) The new wave of clones is so terribly misprint and they don't even care about it 3) The AT-TE set has a dwarf spider droid, eventhough there was no dwarf spider droid at that battle. When asked why they didn't include a crab droid (which was in fact in the battle) they said "we didn't even think of that" really ?? 4) Also in said interview of the UCS republic gunship they said the clone captain was the gunship pilot... Really ? The gunship pilot ? A clone captain ? 5) The new helmet sets from Rex and Cody are nice, but why tf is Rex phase 2 but Cody phase 1... Make them the same phase ffs. Small things do make a big difference. I'm not saying everything is bad, we asked for Cody and we got him (after what seems 10 years ???) We got a 501st battle pack, Still waiting for phase 2 Rex tho... But speed champions creators are kilometers ahead of SW creators

[@Montyh7]

@@DoorTechnicianRick Nope, they said the original as in the first 6 movies, not the OT, but sure repeat incorrect information. 2, only a few people on the internet talk about the so called "misprint" because you know, their voice is the loudest - again to I like x and you like y - making my point for me 3. omg the dwarf spider, do you really care and if so, why? you can make a crab droid -which are not as cool with a few scraps of Lego - so yep again, you making a massive point against which most people, except the few loud voices don't care. 4 - wow, that means that the whole team of Lego SW don't care. (The launch of the gunship was bad, that cannot be denied, but it isn't a basis for saying a whole design team don't care). 5 I have no issues with the new helmets, in fact the only issue with the new helmets I have is that Ryan moans about them, and I have to skip through that part of his videos because I'm so bored with it. So basically nitpicking, and you are making my point - you care about different things to me - no SW fan will ever be happy and we show that again and again with every movie or show that comes out. Don't get me wrong, I don't love everything they design and they do make some odd choices (according to my persona opinion), but I cannot get behind the mantra that Lego SW designers don't care, that just seems like a sweeping statement made because of a couple of things that kept getting repeated and repeated. You are absolutely saying they are bad, you stated emphatically that the SW don't care -pretty sure you are saying they are bad. The small things you talk about about are exactly the type of thing that no SW fan can never agree upon - we just don't and never will.

[@Owen-ub3fv]

I completely agree. A lot of Lego Star Wars designers hate their fans and especially their feedback. They're miserable bums who seem to hate their job and need to be fired.

[@BigWillTheMill]

I've got to be honest, I'm not a big Lego car guy, I was a mech guy and liked technic stuff, but the Speed Champion series has been TERRIFIC the past couple of years. This is an instant buy. It honestly makes me want to make Technic build of this to match Dom's Charger. The lights on the bottom made me drop a tear...good stuff.

[@natbarmore]

Right there with you. I’m not a car person at all, really. So the subject matter of Speed Champions really doesn’t interest me. …and yet I keep buying them. They might be the licensed Lego line I have the most sets from-more than Star Wars, more than Marvel.

[@augsdoggs]

I was never a fan of the movies, but I appreciate the choice of cars, inspired design and incredible skill exhibited in the final product.

[@gadget19k76]

Same, I’m not a fan of the movie, but one of my favorite cars is the Skyline GT-R32 and while not this set it’s close enough for now. Here is hoping for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III or IV soon.

[@gmsniperx3623]

High quality review as always! Speed Champions has been making a huge comeback clearly with these movie accurate vehicles.

[@skvltdmedia]

Hmm? Entire 8-stud revamp has been fantastic save i-Pace, dragster, and the Bronco in my opinion.

[@RacingBrick]

I think the dragster deserves more love :) And the Bronco as well

[@Minifigcreator97]

If only Star Wars designers had this level of passion. Maybe we get good Lego products finally

This is brilliant, I love how Lego is happy to have the designer showcase all the passion and work that goes into creating such brilliant models!!

[@RoscoeWasHere]

I will continue to support every Speed Champions release while they keep up this effort.

[@Lego_Huracan_SuperTrofeo]

Just not too much too fast, I'm going broke 😭

[@liamgorman3947]

Instant purchase for sure, my only criticism is and maybe because we've been spoiled with so little stud exposure recently is the hood is a bit too study. But still, it's going straight into my collection. Beautiful job. Great video B, I could listen to Chris Stamp all day👍

[@Vor1ki]

If you look when the designer goes up close it’s because it’s a bracket or studs on the side brick piece that way they could have the 3 wide center strip. I would agree it looks to study too. Lego needs to make brackets with no studs on top.

[@marchingbandboi553]

I love the fact that the designer for the Speed Champions line actually cares to make a faithful adaptation of real life vehicles in his builds. Love how he is passionate about the level of detail on his work and how he truly puts all effort into his builds. Definitely feel happy to know that a Lego theme I collect is curated by fans of the work they make and that the product is made to their utmost quality.

[@sportsmixtapes8419]

they really should make more fast and furious sets that would be so cool and possibly a lego fast and furious game!

[@mmatatatamm]

These little interviews with Chris are great and the Skyline looks sweet. So glad that they've branched out into movie cars to attract new fans (like me). Hopefully it'll continue with even more next year. I'd love to see a Gone in 60 Seconds 'Eleanor' ('67 Mustang GT500) with a little Nic Cage mini-fig, if he's taking suggestions. 😉

[@SaperPl1]

That's a day of good stuff unveiled. The small technic sets coming next year are also promising, especially the 10$ ones are awesome.

[@pleaseenteraname4252]

They really should add some older cars, more from the 60s would be great, although the car I would really want to see is the DB7 or something from the 90s

[@zethrenbeltran4071]

I outgrew FnF but man, this skyline just looks so good in 3D, its like the designers never runs out of ideas on how to force diff shapes w just limited space and parts. Chris def presents (and sells it!) so well.

[@therealjuralumin3416]

Really like the idea of more movie cars. It's unlikely to happen, but I would love to see the Mustang from Bullitt, or the V8 Interceptor from Mad Max

[@clearskies2822]

I adore the Speed Champions line and this set looks awesome! Can't wait to pick it up. Interesting that Chris said "movie and TV cars" multiple times. Wonder what TV shows they're going to do? Knight Rider seems an obvious choice.

[@SeaBeast4Life]

Yeah, I picked up on that too, a bit of a clue of what's to come. The A Team van would be an interesting one too

[@sleinzer2302]

Hopefully that means they’ll do a Miami Vice Testarossa at some point

[@KalebMcCollough]

I’m working on a pre order for the skyline right now, I already have the charger so I need the skyline

[@justspartan13]

Would love to see a De Lorean and more rally cars like the Sport Quattro we got a while back. These interviews are sick❤❤

[@SeaBeast4Life]

That looks so cool, some really awesome details, those brick built stripes are something else. I love how passionate Chris is about each Speed Champion model, a real star.

[@bluekritz4087]

I think the gone in 60 seconds Eleanor Mustang would be great for this line of speed champions

[@nerfius156]

Literally tearing up here, it looks SO good! I don't even care that there are stickers, which probably won't match the brick color, the whole feel of the model is just beyond perfect! Can't wait for this to hit the shelves.

This make me really happy. Famous movie and tv cars don't get enough appreciation these days. And I know there a long list to choose from. Hopefully, we get more detailed lego movie speed champions cars in the future.

[@johnnypulse5542]

Need more Movie Speed Champion sets. Like a Mach 5 or Mach 6 (preferably a Mach 6) from Speed Racer, neither really are a licensed car but nonethless are great designs that I see no where else than Speed Champions to be able to pull them off. Plus it would be a nice update to the old Speed Racer sets that are coincidentally 8 studs wide.

[@anthonyvasquez-il8es]

A Mach 6 would be dope

[@sviatoslavyakobchuk2702]

The car looks fantastic! Those features, brick-built front and rear lights, front, stripes, neon, interior etc are just amazing! The only complain, I guess, is a bit too much exposed studs on the hood (though I do like exposed studs here and there, they make it obvious that this is a LEGO) It's so impressive that Chris is so passionate about LEGO modelling! Thanks for that! You and your team are making a great products! And many thanks for this review!

[@sviatoslavyakobchuk2702]

Mine most exciting and wanted cars from Fast and Furious series are (from most to least): Brian's lime Mitsubishi Eclipse, Brian's Nissan Skyline, Dom's Dodge Charger, Brian's orange Toyota Supra, Dom's red Mazda RX7

[@Ryecrash617]

I grew up on Castle and Pirates in the 80's and 90's, moved to Star Wars in the early 2000's and fell in love with Speed Champions when they went to 8-studs wide and I've never seen such a devotion to innovation in a Lego design team like I do in Speed Champions.

[@TDBRICKS]

If they released this set, I would buy it in a heartbeat

[@RacingBrick]

January 1st is the date to remember :)

[@ayyayyron]

Love this car and love the skyline, but I really don't know about the hood on this set. So many varied techniques are used to get the correct angles and heights of hoods, complete with brick-built details in sets like the Countach, Project One, Ferrari 512, and even the 70s Challenger. It feels a little weird for a set like this skyline to have a completely flat hood with exposed studs, when it would be very possible to have the hood at an angle and the studs covered.

[@TheAussieBrickMan]

I am a heavy star wars Lego only collection. But as a massive fast and furious fan, someone who drives an R34 and someone who puts Paul Walker as part of my top 3 people who influenced my life. This is an immediate purchase for me.

[@AsapAnimation]

Mad Max car would be very cool! Or other Sci-Fi stuff

[@justramen9186]

Awesome set! I just hope next year they add the legendary BMW m3 gtr from need for speed most wanted.

[@nerfius156]

The only minor con of this build is I have a feeling that it looks a bit odd with those studs on the hood (and maybe also the top part of the headlights?) not being covered. Other than that, it's a spot-on build, I wouldn't even mind the slight color mismatch of the stickers as the whole feel of the car for me is there and is looking amazing!

[@xnabr7603]

I was thinking the same thing, easy custom fix I suppose

[@SuperSpiderbite]

This is exactly what i want from speed champions. MORE ILL BUY IT ALL🤩

[@qqsylarpp808]

This is my second favorite car from the films, and I'm so excited to build it! This is also the most detailed Speed Champions car to date, and I am so happy that the designers are coming up with even more incredible ways to cram detail into this scale. I hope they keep up the good work...and maybe a better minifig scale Ecto-1(A) or DeLorean could hopefully be in the future!

[@R0Sch88]

Very cool, finally a Skyline GT-R. More customs & classics and less hypercars please. Thanks for the video and designer interview!

[@jonathanwerrell3897]

Really nice! I can't wait for this set. I just don't understand why they use those bricks for the side of the wing. There's more options that would be closer to real car. I would had prefer a smother hood also. A little to much expose studs.

[@edwardcook5560]

[@floydforthought9998]

Can’t wait to pick this up for my Dad. Great memories watching the original Fast and Furious films with him. This set looks awesome. Great Tribute to Paul. His mini figure looks a lot better then Vin Diesel’s. Maybe one day we could Paul’s green Eclipse and that Supra. Also I think we need an update on Speed Racers Mach 5. Would be a fun set and blast from Legos past. Think it could look amazing with all the modern LEGO parts to choose from.

[@johnathanmoyer2375]

The taillight detail is absolutely amazing. I'm glad me mentioned the old Nimso GT-R. It seems like that first wave of 8-wide speed champions cars got forgotten really quickly, unfortunately. Or they just all got outshined by the Audi Quattro S1.

[@janwisniewski4076]

We need BMW E46 M3 GTR from NFS Most Wanted in Lego version. Iconic car.

[@V.Tolvanen]

Id Love an eight six or Lancia 037

[@tomagunchi8816]

Really appreciate this type of transparent interviews to insight on the design choices. However, my concerns still remains for stickers and windshields quality. The James Bond’s car stickers were just atrocious in terms for color matching; as well I’ve been recently noticing that windshields/transparent/glossy parts are more likely to come with huge scratches on them straight from brand new boxes…I don’t mind the some of the design compromises for these smaller scale sets but would be amazing if LEGO could also improve on these little inconveniences as well.

[@samuelthomsen1243]

Chris is a God I love that guys passion for these cars

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

Surprised not to see the original movie one, but the reasoning for it not being used are good. Really like how this one turned out the, and the level of detail really pushes what the designers can do with the 8 wide scale. Though I know he was probably talking about the specialized rims my favorite aspect is how complete the profiling from the side of the car looks. Though the Countache, and Aston Martin were great from this year, the designers had serious difficulty finishing off the car past the door, as there was a very obvious gap between it and the fender. Looks great on this car, and hope it's properly remedied on future releases. Really excited to the release of this one as well as the reveal of the whole 23 wave.

[@heyya7544]

Another option I think Speed Champions should consider is the Pursuit Special/ 73 Ford Falcon XB GT A great movie car that has an iconic character behind the wheel!

[@armandogarcia3345]

Legos design team should print the stripes design onto the lego bricks instead on using stickers

[@19turtledog]
