SpiderSpaceman Posted September 30, 2014 Cool new parts, the 2x6 with ΓΈ2 corners on the front and back of the spyder, the 2 new cuuuurvy windshield styles, new fenders, lots of national flags. (I see the new hubcaps but I don't really care, to the "you forgot..." comments ) Also, nice use for a snowboard. And weird to see the ANSYS plate, I'm actually studying for an engineering simulation exam tomorrow morning, and it's all ANSYS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SirBlake Posted September 30, 2014 Those are all really nice. It's kind of amazing how much likeness and detail they've got at that scale. I would personally still prefer 10-stud wide scale, but I can't hate these. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meiko Posted September 30, 2014 I wrote a "review"/analysis of the sets through my opinions of them. Maybe it'll be a fun read for you guys: http://en.brickimedia.org/wiki/Brickipedia_News:Speed_Champions_Pictures_and_Analysis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lind Whisperer Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) Rats... I really like these sets, and I really wish I could get them, but my budget is going to be filled up, with Pirates and trying to collect all of the parts for one of James Mathis's LU Racecars... Maybe some way. I hope... Edited September 30, 2014 by Lind Whisperer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
just2good Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) Those are awesome. I wish they'd release some American Muscle cars though, Just2good vey off topic and I'm sorry if it has been asked before but will you be releasing images of City sets soon? Just subscribed to your channel by the way! Thank you! City images will be coming later this week or the weekend, as I think I'm missing a few of those. We'll see. Secondly, I apologize as I fell asleep (good news is that the cold is getting better!) but The Brick Fan ripped the images from my video pretty much spot on, so no need to post them separately... check that out! http://www.thebrickf...mages-revealed/ Edited September 30, 2014 by just2good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meiko Posted September 30, 2014 American muscle cars would be great. As a Mustang fan, I'd have to buy them. :D It'd also be great if they did some classic muscle cars (been wanting to make a 68 Shelby GT500 in LEGO for a long time). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DuckBricks Posted September 30, 2014 Also, nice use for a snowboard. Yeah, it's a great NPU! I was somehwta surprised to see it at first, but it really blends into the aesthetic of the cars! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XAxles Posted September 30, 2014 BOMBSHELLS!!! BOMBSHELLS!!! BOMBSHELLS!!! And just about PHP500!!! Now I can't wait to see the instructions. NEW WHEELS!!! (I wanna know though, do the new wheels and tires match the current ones used?) Also, the choice of cars... the Geneva Hybrid Hypercar Trifecta! And the RSR's (White is run by the factory and Team Manthey, and the orange one is the Hybrid). Even the F1 cars... I know that dong nose from McLaren!

Colossus Posted September 30, 2014 (been wanting to make a 68 Shelby GT500 in LEGO for a long time). You and me both! I was really hoping to see classic cars done in Minifigure scale, I suppose. While these builds are really slick, they are not what I expected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mandate Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) Seriously? Just2good released the Super Champions images before NINJAGO despite NINJAGO having 95 more votes? Edited September 30, 2014 by JayWalker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rollermonkey Posted September 30, 2014 Very nice, looks like some interesting new parts... ...and now that we've seen them, they really look like they should be in City instead of Special Themes. Too much random stuff down here already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ondra Posted September 30, 2014 I like this theme so much, these cars looks great for kids.I planned to buy every set but some design of cars dont appeal to me.I buy ferrari truck not for F14 but for the truck .P.s.:Can you spot scooter in ferrari truck set?

Yes, there is a motherfucking Vespa in that set. Those are all really nice. It's kind of amazing how much likeness and detail they've got at that scale. I would personally still prefer 10-stud wide scale, but I can't hate these. This has to sell like hotcakes for LEGO to make something like a UCS version.

XAxles Posted September 30, 2014 Alright: wishing time! What manufacturer do you want next to have models built in this theme? Here's my picks: Aston Martin, Ford and Mercedes-Benz What models per make? Aston: V12 Vantage, Vanquish, DBR9 MB: SLS AMG (stock and GT3), SL65 Black Series, and W05 F1 Ford: Fiesta WRC, 2015 Mustang and/or Shelby GT500 How'bout you? What's your wish picks?

ER0L Posted September 30, 2014 This is really good news for the car mocists - we seem to get much more decent mudguards (which is quite a sensation since this will enhance our possibilities very much), nice rims and some other great stuff. As for the cars themselves they look quite nice, you find some interesting design features and techniques, especially regarding the small form factor. On the other hand stickered headlights are clearly a no-go - and 4 wide cockpits on 6w+ vehicles (with a fig placed in the center which isn't realistic at all) have never worked and will never work. Maybe they could be used to build some nice Group C or GTP race cars in a 7w scheme. Anyhow I'm looking forward to these sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brickprawn Posted September 30, 2014 Does anybody know the expected release date on these please? I was going to buy the Star Wars Sandcrawler next but I may have to hold off and get these instead now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leewan Posted September 30, 2014 Thanks for the pics J2G ! I was definitely not expecting this, but I like them. I'll probably get the two Ferrari cars and the McLaren. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheBrickPal Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) They look lovely, much better than the Racers, and very smooth. I could do without the stickers, however. Does anybody know the expected release date on these please? I was going to buy the Star Wars Sandcrawler next but I may have to hold off and get these instead now! Seems like January, but late December is usually the norm for New Year sets. Edited September 30, 2014 by Puffle Pal26 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been trying to build a somewhat small-scale Vanquish for a while, because one day I saw the Bionicle Bohrok eye piece and thought they'd be great Aston Martin headlights. Maybe if I continue working on this I could make it be the same scale as these Speed Champions sets and try to fit a minifigure inside. A couple other ideas I have would be: Lexus: IS 350 F Nissan: GT-R R35 Chevrolet: Corvette C7 BMW: Z4 Audi: R8 Pagani: Huayra Koenigsegg: Agera R Edited September 30, 2014 by Meiko Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
