LEGO Speed Champions 76917 F&F Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 detailed building review

[@iamafailure9920]

So if Lego continues to do F&F sets and if the next one will be Tokyo Drift one, I bet they'll do Han's RX7.

[@Chrisgroot19]

Those SC designers deserve some recognition. It's just amazing to see how much work goes in these small models. The building techniques are mad for these little builds.

[@RacingBrick]

Couldn't agree more!

[@mattenojd5221]

They are awesome and it so much fun to watch the lead designer talk about the models😄

[@PotPynamite]

Wow. As always, the techniques in these 8-wide Speed Champions are unmatched in any other LEGO theme. Can't wait to pick this up!

[@brickphisto2321]

I have to disagree. Although there are some nice techniques used for the 8-wide SC sets, many Creator Expert or Icons sets use far more advanced techniques. E.g. to get the angles for the 10497 Galaxy Explorer right with only the smallest gaps is much trickier to design than the pretty much straightforwards snot connections for the SC cars. Usually the angled parts of the SC sets are only secured at one point. That is so much easier. But don't get me wrong: The 8-wide SC sets are still a joy to build.

[@AdiAfendi]

They're definitely way better than the 6-wide ones.

[@ss90kim]

I just collected all the Speed Champions sets. Should I build oldest to newest? Or newest to oldest?

[@douglaskelly3340]

I like that we're seeing movie cars in the Speed Champions theme. There are so many great, and iconic, movie and TV cars to choose from, without having to do a whole franchise of kits. I'm really looking forward to seeing which cars are done next.

@@cdnron75 Well, I have checked and none of them was great.

[@khanhphamduy7503]

I like the official set more, great building technique

[@Kei.W]

@@piotrjasinski5795eh good or bad is subjective. Speed champions has been constantly evolving, providing great builds and cars that years ago you would never have thought would be available outside of the extremely expensive technic sets. At the end of the day, theres a charm in lego cars trying to look as close to the real one as possible and not a lego city 1 seater, its quirky and unique with lots of potential for mods. If you want hyper realistic model cars then maybe you should buy die-casts instead of Lego.

[@joevictor53]

I'll definitely be picking this up. I'm so glad Lego's making more of these TV/movie cars. I hope we get some other classics like KITT, the A-Team van, Herbie and maybe some remakes as well like the Mystery Machine, Ecto 1 and BTTF Delorean

i slightly doubt the delorean since that one was basically speed champions size anyway

[@bami2]

I love the transparent plates to represent the underglow.

[@TaurusPresents]

For attaching stickers I usually use X type locking Tweezers. When squeezed, the tweezers open and when released, the tweezers close. Very useful if something has to be held for a long time with tweezers. These types of tweezers are often for sale in hardware stores.

[@Dark-Avennger]

I use toothpicks

[@DarthPaul16]

I'm partial to ifixit's halberd spudger. Really thin blade, lets me position the sticker with precision.

[@hugopereira7835]

I use normal tweezer but its like a sharp one kinda like 2 toothpicks

[@5mattcolour]

Speed Champions sets on an absolute roll the past year. 2023 looking equally epic.

[@derLenno]

The more I see of this car, the more I fall in love with it. Especially considering the building techniques. Wow!

[@rafaelslechten2148]

Can’t wait another 2 days … I have every single Speed Champions car on display and this looks - by far - the most amazing build. Love the channel btw … keep up the good work!

[@batsaikhansandagdalai3717]

I have every single 8 wide speed champion set. Cant wait to get this.

[@alexover072]

4:01 YO WTF THE HACK IS AWESOME

[@danmadden1080]

Another way to attach stickers is to use that black wrench that the minifig is holding. One end of the wrench had a sharp, flat surface, ideal for holding the stickers when positioning them.

[@GenericRedDot]

🥶🥶

[@fishingnuke9331]

i like how they were able to get the steering wheel properly aligned to where the driver sits

[@SquareToaster]

The front end was so well-designed. Looking forward to getting my own!

[@Halcyon554]

I got this car last week and I'm just ecstatic to have the Skyline. When I was a teen I got Gran Turismo 2 and the Skyline quickly became one of my favorite cars. It's awesome to have one in Lego. It's not perfect but as you said it's Lego and I'm very satisfied with what we got. I love the Speed Champions line and it's the main body of what I collect from Lego now. Lego Corp definitely needs to do more rally cars and more JDM!

[@ElectroTanoCZ]

I bought myself the Charger for Christmas, I hope they continue making these, maybe doing one car per movie.

[@tylernatale7898]

[@jonathanrichter9068]

Would love to see other iconic cars in speed champions line up from the big or small screen. Kitt, General Lee, A Team van, Eleanor, Smoky n the bandit, other fnf cars, bond cars etc....

[@iShark02]

The build is very interesting! And thx for the sticker tips!

[@AHYL88]

3:59 - YES! I knew I wasn't the only one who did that technique, using the big sheet to remove the stickers for corrections! As for the set itself, another super impressive set and even more crazy techniques to build it. These sets always look so simple from the surface but deceptively complex to build (for the casual buyers especially). They're pretty much masterclass level in design, and yet are still relatively affordable. Speaking of which, I know the designer said he couldn't fit a light brick in but it's really not needed, and we don't need Lego to have an excuse to bump the price up even further! Looking forward to what's next; especially the supposedly upcoming McLaren double pack which is claimed to include a version of the legendary McLaren F1....

[@idonjohnson6999]

The small sticker on top of the 3-gauges sticker in front of the NOS bottles should be rotated 180°. Reference the large pic on the back of the box. I wonder why they didn’t have a similar sticker on the same piece that’s in front of the steering wheel. Would make a great dash.

[@dangerdoberman]

So fast. So furious. WHOA!

Excellent Review. Best Paul Walker movie was Running Scared. Very Graphic & Bloody... Great Review & Tips. I rarely use stickers.

I think it could have looked better, but it´s nice they left some studs visible, like we used to do in our own cars as little :3

[@leader_one]

Nice video as always. I appreciated that sticker trick using the edge of the sheet. I will have to try that next build. I kind of liked the smooth look when you added that extra tile to the hood. I may have to add some tiles to see which I prefer.

[@iano_fr]

Do you happen to know what those tile pieces are called? I want to look for them so that I can do this to mine.

[@thatsGQ]

I honestly started using the tool that the lego characters carry to apply my stickers if I can’t find a toothpick or tweezers ! Just use the flat end

I want more F&F Speed Champ sets, BUT it makes me want them to dig into other franchises at this scale. Give me Kit. Give me Bumblebee (plus 2 if it can transform). Eleanor from Gone in 60 seconds. Speed Racer. At this scale and price point, there is just so much opportunity.

[@RacingBrick]

There'd be an opportunity to release a movie SC car practically every month and there'd be still a lot left out...

[@Hippienolic2]

Hi i have a problem with mine skyline.The right front wheel(if you look from the back of the car) doesn't spin while every other spinns and it seems to wiggle a bit to that side. But if i push it to the ground a bit e everything works fine.Can someone help me?

[@weaz3r379]

Apologies if this is a bit obvious, but how does one attach the bumper that's connected by the 2 yellow snap bricks? I've done all the steps according to the building instructions but for some reason the yellow snap bricks just won't click on/stick to the 2 brown shaft bricks on the main body no matter how much force I try.

[@SilverSpoonRiche]

I would probably wait till the car is built before applying some of the graphics. Better to get them to align that way. IDK. Either way it looks cool and I will definitely be on the look out of it. Happy New Year!
