Can you recommend a good display case that this would fit all of the set in properly? Thanks!

[@javiersp15]

keep complaining because if you and I, as adults, will go insane with stickers, I can't imagine a 9 year old (as the box suggested starting age) applying 35 small stickers per car.

[@VanillaPoser]

@@DoorTechnicianRick that’s great for someone who likes doing that but not everyone is in the same boat lol. Let there be some type of balance here, not saying get away with no stickers period but at least half and half so you don’t have to deal with 71 of them lol.

[@CanonicalBomb]

The M Hybrid V8 would work so well with the Porsche 963 for obvious reasons

Yea lol, I just saw short about racing and those two cars were there. When I saw the Porsche I was like “oh that’s a Lego too” lol

[@SaperPl1]

This is actually a double pack that is first time worth it (as a double pack, not talking about price) - both cars are really cool

[@mr.jaco6526]

Mercedes f1 and project one was also great imo

[@idonjohnson6999]

And goes well with last years Porsche LMP1.

[@SaperPl1]

@@mr.jaco6526 The F1 was good, the AMG car in that pack was kind of too generic for me. Also the F1 was a bit dark while the new F1 car is really vibrant. by the way - Mclaren double pack is terrible and I still can't bring myself to get that - I want the orange mclaren F1, but the other car is just dead weight...

[@dreskle]

The dodge and corvette double packs were good as well

[@lilgabriel0517]

When talking about value, the Mercedes one is pretty much unbeatable, for $35 or the original price of $30 it’s a great deal. The double McLaren pack is also very cool and for $35 its value is still worth. The BMW for $45 makes it a hard choice, I personally love the set and will be buying it but am definitely gonna wait for some sort of sale. But yeah, my most anticipated set of this release, finally, we get BMW! 😂

[@YashNavindgi]

I wasnt thrilled by the promo pictures of this set when they first got announced, the M4's proportions looked wayy off in those, but it actually doesn't look at bad as I thought initially. I wasn't going to buy this set at all, but now looking at the interesting build techniques and final result, I probably will great vid as always too

[@IndrasilDesignStudio]

Same here. The man will probably convince me to buy the Mustang, too

[@nikoandroman]

I just built this set and while I usually HATE stickers I don’t know why I didn’t mind it a lot this time. I liked matching the stickers and eliminating as much gaps as possible which is something I don’t do often that’s why I maybe didn’t mind it. I also liked all of the illegal techniques they used

[@zabglz]

Sometimes theres a limit on colors that can be printed or space available for holding the piece but agree that the Porsche from last year was fully printed. Y best guess is it may have been a production issue

[@tha_dealler4811]

those new elements used as headlights/taillights will make MOCs WAY BETTER ... and the amount of new pieces just from 2024 it will incease details for future MOCs

[@QueenVoodo0]

With this I can only hope and pray we get more GTP and LMH cars in the future, imagine having a full IMSA field with Porsche, BMW, Acura, Cadillac, Lamborghini and Alpine. Plus getting the big 3 in WEC Toyota, Peugeot, and Ferrari who I know Lego have a good relationship with all three

[@berndderbrick8079]

Can´t wait to build all of the new Speed Champions

[@velcro.monkeys]

The shaping on these looks way better in video than it did in the pictures and the build looks like a joy to put together other than maybe a few too many stickers. The real downsides from this set come from having to place stickers on parts we were previously told we wouldn't have to such as the windscreen, headlights and taillights. This could have easily been the first wave where I get every set but I think I'll have to skip out in this one

[@J03L-]

The cars look nice. But Lego needs a service where they place the stickers on the set for you. I have dyspraxia and I really struggle with stickers as my hands tend to shake when I do fine motor tasks and then I place the sticker wonky and ruin it trying to remove it and place it again. I would hate to build this and it’s personally the reason I don’t buy modern 8x8 speed champions sets.

[@BuzzedtheTower]

Honestly, I wish they would just print the design on the brick. It would ensure everything lines up and is one less tedious step for the consumer

[@dsharp4763]

@@BuzzedtheTower But in turn, the price would need to increase. Not only are printed parts more expensive to produce, they are also less versatile individually to be used for MOCs as they are only meant for specific uses.

[@BuzzedtheTower]

@@dsharp4763 I can understand that. However, the price for the kits have already spiked and I'd be willing to pay a couple extra dollars (no more than a $5 bump) for printed parts. I also don't believe that it would cost LEGO that much to add the correct prints to the sets. I don't like having to place the stickers myself in case they come out crooked. And while MOCs are cool, I'm not really concerned with printed pieces affecting that community.

[@BricksomeRacers]

3:44 yes it's actually true the last time they had that is on the Nissan GT-R (75896)

[@petersugar7726]

tbe building experience with the first car and the looks are absolutely amazing I would recommend it to anyone

[@stephenyates962]

A cool double set of racing cars. I do have a small gripe with each car; the windscreen on the GT3 doesn't quite sit nice and flush, due to the top of the driver's seat being just above the main body. On the Le Mans car, trying to attach the sides around the fin was impossible. Thank goodness for all the spare 1x1 bricks Lego provide! By adding 1 tile to each side on the middle connecting section, it sits well enough to be sturdy, while not too intrusive for a sleek look. Overall, a more challenging build in the Speed Champions range, but it's worth it (£44.99 in the UK)

[@jakubsenohrabek2308]

I quite like both of the cars, the whole wave actually. But as you said, the double pack would benefit from a clasic car. Id love to see a 499P/250GTO doublepack, it would be a dream come true

[@roelhendrickx4302]

I'm a long time Speed Champions fan. (I got really hooked when I realized that I had to agree with Balazs that SC are the theme that offer the most innovative building experiences and the best value-for-money of all Lego themes.) I own all the 8 studs wide vehicles and then a lot of the 6 stud wides (some of them modified). I'm sad to say that so far the 2024 offerings don't excite me a lot. I actually prefer some of the "more normal" cars (Dodge, Mustang, Porsche 911) and the street-legal supercars (Ferrari, Lamborghini) over the racing variations that one would never see in real life, and that are overly dependent on stickers for their look. I like SC cars for the way their curves and lines are created with bricks and new innovative brick connections, not for the way those looks are camouflaged with stickers. (In quite a few sets, I have left the sticker sheet untouched, and quite often the car doesn't look bad without them: you can appreciate their Lego-ness even more.) The 2024 line-up feels to me like reiteration of cars from previous years. Yes, a Formula 1 car is always nice and there are new parts and improved curves, but we already have that. In that respect, the only car that excites me from this year is the Dark Horse Mustang. (Having said that, I will probably pick all of them up at some point, maybe early next year when they end up in the bargain bin. But I am not a day-one buyer for any of them. As an AFOL who likes Lego for the building experience, I am much more excited in 2024 by the 3-in-1 Creator sets with animals (that giraffe; that fox!!) than by the Speed Champions cars.

[@John_Lennon.901]

Man, this set is amazing i can t wait for this set

[@rozzadog6297]

Same here

[@clockwork3494]

It's nice to see BMW enter the ring of licened cars within the Speed Champions theme, however I can't help but feel a bit let down that we got them as two modern cars instead of the old vs new, which is something I would've loved to see for BMW's first set. Here's hoping we'll see more in the future though, I'd love to have cars like the M1, E34 M5 or E46 M3 in my collection That out of the way though I swear we're getting more and more stickers with these each wave

[@IsaacCherian]

This video is brilliant. Can't wait for the rest of the 2024 Speed Champions range.

[@cciaston]

I actually like the sticker option on the windshield given the fact I sometimes use the windshield for a different build for not necessarily the same car brand. 😊

[@MTHEDGEHOG]

I believe that Lego/Chris's team intently choice the Dark Horse and the BMW'S, so they can flex their building skills.

[@petercsernak1063]

This sticker vomit is too much for me. They printed the windshield and we need to put more stickers on it... This is some next level cost cutting from Lego.

[@danca444]

That m hybrid v8 look sooo good

[@joshvirsandhu9359]

this was a missed opportunity for lego to come out with the M4 GT3 and the legendary M3 E46 GTR. That would be a set worth $50.

[@iiiiiiii3359]

As someone who takes a lot of pride in my sticker placements. This set nearly drove me insane. Although I must say the finished M3 GT3 is gorgeous. I was skeptical of the 2024 Speed champion lineup given the price increase. Although I can’t emphasize enough that all 4 sets have vastly over delivered. The amount of details the designers added are unlike any previous speed champion sets and easily justify the price increase. Wail building the new sets I had at least a dozen moments where I was genuinely impressed with the building techniques. The designers weren’t afraid to use “illegal” connection which I loved to see. If this is the new standard for speed champions Im more than happy to keep buying them.

[@ProWierdchamp]

This looks detailed. I like the front section of the m4 GT3, really nice. One problem is the stickers. I wish every small part was printed

[@ThuNder12805]

Great review, Balazs!

[@SyrusBryant-h6k]

There needs to be WAY MORE rally car sets the only ones I remember is the audi s1 sport quattro and the ford focus rs that was 6 studs wide. They need to add the main three rally1 cars as a set or more group b cars

[@likeits1985]

The amount of sticker applications required is keeping me from buying this set. I wish the Lego designers had decided to reduce the amount of sticker application required.

[@ROB989-M91]

Got mine yesterday on door dash for $59 love it im building it rn tbh😂and this part got me stuck 5:20

[@Carlife0830]

I'll be honest, I love applying stickers to it

[@klausm5460]

Those 2 plate high 1x2 slopes without the grill slats are pretty significant. There are so many MOCs where those parts are used and the grill is always a distraction on the surface. Yes, and the M1 would have been an exceptional choice side by side with a modern racing car.

[@Cheri_Blast]

I don’t usually care about stickers at all (ofc, if something gets a print, that’s great, but I won’t get upset otherwise) … yet, even I have to question the sticker choices on the windshield - why didn’t they just complete the design on the sides they were already printing on?

[@sybrin4011]

Thankyou for your elaborate review once again! I can't wait to build this set and place it in my Le Mans collection, although I will still make my own BMW M hybrid moc. While the set has its highlights, I feel it still lacks in accuracy, and I still can't get over the cockpit piece, which has a completely wrong shape, now having to also put tiny and unnessecary stickers on it. As you demonstrated with the Porsche 963 windscreen, lego seems to be totally capable of printing on any area that now uses a sticker, so it remains a mystery why they did partial print and partial stickers. I also can't help hut wonder why we do get tyre printing for tge f1 set, but not here. Michelin printed tyres would have been awesome, and elevated the set even further. I also wonder if the old rims from the 6 stud wide era or mclaren f1 set would fit, that would also help this set a bit, as many of the hypercars have quite bespoke rims. As for the M4, it seems a blast to build! Using many fancy techniques with studs in almost all directions. Looking forward to your other reviews!

[@199hamill]

I built my interior of thi m4 backwards to make mine right hand drive. Was a headache but fun!

[@averyscott284]

An M1 Procar would have been lit for this pack but the LM car ain’t too shabby either

[@ModYoBricks]

I’ve got to hand it to you. You applied that sticker to the first windshield with smooth confidence!

[@Russell7777777]

I am collecting SC since 8 studs, have all of them. But the price increase and more stickers on the 3 cars you've covered so far is undermining my decision to continue. Seems like LEGO increased the price, but reduced their cost with printing and used stickers instead. Not happy with the change, and only semi happy with cars this year. So far Audi seems the best looking one for me, BMW is ok, not really sure about the Mustang and McLaren.

[@PSR_Macky]

Many cool build techniques in those 6-stud wide platform, thanks for the great building review as usual.

[@imvivalamilo]

First Lego BMW car set! I believe that the BMW motorcycle division is seperate from the automotive division so I wouldn’t be surprised if they needed new licenses for these.

[@JimmyDuckworth]

Awesome review as always Balaźs! When I got to see the double pack for the first time, I wasnt so excited, but your super nice review convinces me that the Speed Champions has again sprinkled some of their magic!

[@idonjohnson6999]

Interesting to see the steering wheel is used in two configuration (180° turned). At first glance I though it was put upside down, but after pause is can see “2” gear display being right side up.

[@beedyboy1395]

the bmw hypercar is the biggest speed champions flop imo, mainly bc the front bumper (im talking about the lights, they made it look like the 6 stud mustang and the new cars are not 6 stud) Now the m4 on the other hand… ABSOLUTE BANGER Side note: The hypercar design itself is pretty cool, and works well with the porsche. Hope they (can) add the lambo, ferrari, acura, caddy, alpine(basically every) in the future

[@MihaitaSenchea]

The black wheel arches are a game changer, so i have a lego speed champions 8 stud wide black with yellow Porsche 911/992 GT3 RS moc, and the front and rear wheel arches are the city style wheel arches, and when i play, sometimes the rear tends to fall off, because it has like two or four studs of connection, and if i will buy the BMW double pack, i can just use the BMW M-Hybrid V8's rear wheel arches to give a lot more structural stability! And i will have the BMW M4 GT3 after all, so it will be a profit!

[@TOESOFFICIAL1]

this the set i was waiting for 🥰🥰🥰

[@garylai363]

the half printed half sticker windshield makes no sense. Stickers are fine, until you mess them up, and then they're super annoying. I find it also ruins the flow of building, knowing you have to put a sticker on a part and hope you don't mess it up.

[@wrigleyx]

I've finished them, they look GREAT I agree with you, stickers are REALLY hard to put on.

[@calka_]

these stickers are insane

[@Looksmaxmogger]

I hate the fact Lego went backwards with wind shield printing. Their highlight of 2023 yet. Make us put 5 stickers on the new bmw.

[@JBBrickFanatic]

These sets with the stickers are feeling more like die-cast model cars you'd find at a hobby store. Maybe this is the point?

[@christianl5531]

Woah!!!! When I originally saw this set, I didn't like it at all. The pictures made it look like it was a classic-style six stud wide Speed Champions set. All the cool techniques used have piqued my interest. Will definitely consider it now!

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

Both cars look phenomenal. Really like how much intricate detail, and unique building solutions went into each of them. About the stickers. I feel it's a valent complaint as with the tremendous amount of stickers on these vehicles there's no reason in the world why Lego has to add to the frustration by aligning tiny stickers on a rounded transparent surface. A sticker on windshield has never looked good and can be a real eye sore if not applied perfectly. May pick this one up.

[@AnthonyAvon]

I almost want to cancel my order for this set. Decorations like sponsor logos should be stickers so we can leave them off, but important details like the headlights and decorations that tie the different color bricks together MUST be prints. And that windshield sicker/print combination is an atrocity.

[@Nicholas_Meyer_29]

Racing brick you cool you have uploaded in two days and it’s nice when you point out the problems while you build by the way have a great 2024

[@select_poodle4]

Lego speed champions 76922 is amazing

[@SwastikRastogi]

do the mustang next please!

[@adiseagledostuff]

my only theory as to why you need to placed that red sticker on that windshield is to avoid colour from getting mixed in the printing process

[@donatfehervari5762]

My guess for the windshield is that with just the prints it is symmetrical which means it is easier to use in other builds. If this is the main reason, then it is good that they think about MOC builders too.

[@dronessential]

No, that just sounds like an excuse. 80% of buyers want these cars, not MOCs. Why should I have to apply 35 stickers per car, so that someone out there can have a clean windshield piece to use in MOCs? They can just order the part.

[@donatfehervari5762]

​@demonbre yes, this is just an excuse. But one of the main idea behind Lego is rebuilding. And I think this, and the higher production cost both are the reason, why they don't make 70 unique printed piece for a set.

[@RacingBrick]

The windshield piece already has some prints on it, so I think the reusability doesn't change much with the additional stickers.

[@qwerty-rs4nb]

anyone notice that the headlights for the bmw m hybrid v8 are not accurate at all?

[@bartomiejpalmowski4175]

@RacingBrick 7:32 mayby it's related with new windscreen colour? Because they're a little bluish and when we'll put white prints they'll turn into light blue and red turn into violet.

[@theteto8560]

What a good point

[@velcro.monkeys]

I mean, the blue that's already printed on looks more than ok to me and not many colours have been printed on trans black in official sets but there's a minifig head that doesn't seem to get any of the bluishness on it so I think it has to be something else

[@weareallseedsofthesametree]

I really like your step by step reviews highlighting special parts or techniques. If you read this: I noticed the yellow Defender in the background is not levelled and my OCD focussed on it 😅 I will keep watching if this will magically move in the next reviews 🤞🏻

[@logan5018]

as someone who isnt a massive car enthusiast but loves the speed champions line, these look cool, but i feel like there are just way too many stickers. so many other good releases for the line this month so i think ill be passing on this one

I won this set, it's my first one - I've never build real lego. it's really fun and enjoyable experience

[@richardbohorquez8730]

This double set looks so pretty powerfully. I know stickers sometimes are so crazy to place them, but I think on these kind of racing cars are really necessary, just look the NASCAR Next Gen Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. I use a precision cutter hobby craft blade, it's a little bit easier.

[@OverGlass-gn2ce]

Thanks for the amazing review! This did make me rethink my choises very well

[@repapeti98]

3:29 I am currently building Roadkill's Chevy C10 Muscle Truck with the boat trailer and the structural integrity, but especially the headlight area is giving me trouble since I'm building it in all directions. That's why that subassembly amazes me since even though it looks fragile, when attached, it's rock solid. How, Lego? HOW?!

[@fullyevil1]

Why isn't anyone talking about the M4s front. I dislike it alot.

[@happydog_69]

[@VanillaPoser]

I really like this line but this set having 71 stickers in one go is just pure madness. It’s funny how the age rating on these is so low yet adults like me have a hard time with stickers let alone 71 of them lol. I also think the fact that they want you to incorporate some with prints is crazy. As much as i wish lego would be completely out with stickers across all sets and just do prints, i would like at least a reasonable balance between the two.

[@megs8654]

windshield or part of body. sticker should not be too bent, because it tends to un-stick itself after a super short while

The amount of stickers of the set reminds me of the amount from the Lego Technic BMW M1000 RR (42130) that I'm currently building.

[@harmswaydiy6415]

Keep complaining. If I as an adult hate trying to apply the tiny stickers I can only imagine a child’s frustration. I would gladly pay $20 more per set to have only printed pieces.

[@imjustinb]

With the increasing popularity of WEC/IMSA, I’m actually really happy its two modern cars. Really cool to display with the Porsche WEC car. I agree entirely on the stickers though, would love more printed parts. Especially the transparent stickers, as once they are creased if you have to re-place them, they look quite bad. Thank you for the thorough review! Will likely pick up this set. One quick comment though - do the wheels not have rims on them? Looks weird imo.

[@markodama8912]

I believe the choice of these two cars comes from the fact that this year they are making their debut together in the renewed World Endurance Championship (WEC). Maybe somebody already wrote it before, but anyway...

[@NihonMotion]

Hello, first of all, thank you for the extraordinary work you do, I love the work you do. I couldn't agree more with you especially about the stickers. I have been assembling Legos for a long time and I am especially a fan of the cars and the Speed ​​Champions set and I have to admit I do not like the excessive abuse of these in some sets. Not only do some of them come poorly trimmed or they don't look pretty at all or they don't make sense like the cabin of the car, and where these stickers bother me is the use on the front and rear lights, I prefer them to be transparent pieces like always. On the Pagani it's not that I was happy to see silk-screened headlights, but better this way than on stickers like the Toyota Supra. I didn't like it because of how it happened to the helmet, being transparent, one can't always align the stickers correctly so that they fit with the other pieces that join with them. Anyway, I really like the Set in general and as a fan I am waiting to receive my order, but I don't see anything wrong with saying that you don't like them, you are not the only one and you should always comment on the pros and cons of the product. Thank you very much for your work.

Holy this set looks amazing even tho there’s a lot stickers thst I struggle with sometimes but still amazing to see. And plus my brain is gonna hurt building this got dang

[@GamerErman2001]

Maybe that one printed hood required stickers cuz there were too many colours to exclusively use printing on that piece? That's my best guess.

[@ElliotsLegoCreations]

I am not sure if it was the way you said it, but twice now you have said those slopes are new..? (Four long, 1 wide.) I've had slopes like those for a while now. (Even as early as the Marvel Iron Man vs Mandarin 76006 set.)

[@ElliotsLegoCreations]

It is a speedboat that is green and black. (The piece is near the front on both sides.) It is now like 100$ CAD but I had it as a kid.) Unless... you're talking about in THAT colour.

[@jonasfermefors]

It would be interesting to see if Lego did a double release with stickers and a lower price and only prints with a higher price. Personally I would be willing to pay a fair amount to skip the stickers. I understand the reasoning and I know it would be impossible to do, but I can dream 😁

[@revichairindra]

[@Wafflefrieslmdh]

Welp guess I have to buy this now

[@meltdown78]

Compared to older Speed Champion sets this is even less suited for kids. My 9/11yo sons love those cars, but are getting frustrated by the stickers - so they can't/won't build them alone - taking away from the pride of building LEGO sets. And the pricing is just insane. Lego seems to have shifted their focus away from kids to adults who just put the cars on display.

[@richardhalliday6469]

Brick Depot built the new Mercedes F1 last week and that has plenty of stickers - after all, it is a sponsered racing car, you always have the option to leave them off. My only issue with stickers is the longevity of colour and adhesion is unpredictable particularly in well lit conditions, as I display my cars I always consider using stickers carefully and will they enhance the model?

[@JF_ARVA]

There’s a 5% chance I ever apply a sticker in any set I build.

[@justincole1510]

I like this two pack, but I’ll with you on that a new/old duo race pack be more interesting. The M1, particularly the M1 LM would be a good choice to go with the M4. Also I’m not a huge fan of the grill change BMW is doing. It looks so weird and doesn’t looked like the kidney stone grill design it’s supposed to be. Looks more like a pig snout than the iconic kidney stone design.

[@RainGTM]

I am not missing out on this

[@tealelston]

I thought I would for sure buy these when they were announced, now I'm not so sure, maybe if they go on sale... I feel like the M4 doesn't match how crazy wide that race car is, and to me it feels way too blocky. I know it's made from bricks, and the curves and vents would be almost impossible without creating a bunch of one off pieces, but I feel like it could be better.

just spray some water before applying the stickers, that is how the pros install stickers on real cars, rc cars and miniature figurines.
