  1. Yay I hope. There's still some great cars to be immortalized in bricks. I mean, there's that new "Hypercar" class replacing LMP1 in the World Endurance Championship which ought to give us some interesting specimens. Plus, I created my own little speculations for the next 2 years in the SC Wishlist thread which I put a lot of work and thought into.
  2. Sure. I commissioned MINIFGS.ME to make them. They cost quite a packet each but I think it was worth the expense.
  3. There is one white arched SC car that has silver wheels. The 911 RSR from the 2015 Porsche GT Finish Line set. It could be that.
  4. Excellent work! I'd love to see you make more. I'm intrigued to see how Metal Sonic's car is made in Lego. I'd use the Speed Champions tyres with the standard wide wheels. (Kinda like the wheels on Joker's Lowrider from TLBM)
  5. I really don't know why the new set is simply a recolour of a design they've done before. Maybe they liked it so much they had to do it again. Or maybe it was to make the 911 Turbo more easily accessible to those who couldn't afford the set it originally came from. Such a mystery.
  6. Turquoise? I thought the piece in that image was Dark Bluish Grey. Must be my colour-blindness.
  7. Nope. It was first in a big City set in that colour back in 2015.
  8. I have a good feeling it's gonna be the new Corvette C8. I hope it comes in yellow. I may even mod it into the racing version.
  9. Well, well, well. I wonder what this could be?
  10. I'm most looking forward to the School Bus, the Truck and the Diner. I didn't know the truck was gonna be a monster truck! Looks well built too. The bus is also a mobile lab by the looks of it and uses the new tall tyre piece to great effect. And the diner looks well built. Plus, that little vehicle (which I guess is a beach buggy modified with ghost busting equipment) has the Adventurers cabin piece in a light blue colour. Never knew when i'd see that piece come back.
  11. I think it looks rather good. Especially the school bus. I like a well built Lego vehicle that has a distinct style to it and that bus kinda fits the bill for me. Plus, theres a train and a truck coming as said in a previous comment. I hope they'll be pretty good. Not too bothered by the whole smartphone app thing so I'll just be buying them for the sets themselves.
  12. It comes out next wednesday? I wasn't expecting that release date. I was expecting this set to come out in the summer. Wow! That's early!
  13. I reckon there could be at least one GB3 set seeing how the Ideas Ecto 1 and Firehouse were so popular. It really wouldn't surprise me. Same with the next Indiana Jones movie.
  14. Woody Car? Could it be RC?
  15. If that were to happen, it'll be at least teased around March/April sort of time. Just like the 720S was.
  16. I'd be surprised if there were. Don't bet on it.
  17. A new Knight Bus would be nice.
  18. Here's a little bonus idea to add to my rather extensive list for the 2020 section 2019 McLaren 720S GT3 & 1995 McLaren F1 GTR This set would be 2020's mid size playset. Somewhere in the £40 - £45 price range. And it would be celebrating 25 years since the McLaren F1 GTR took victory at the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans. And would include a trophy podium with somewhere to park the two racers.
  19. That's a cool car! I like how you've made the glass canopy.
  20. Nice Escort! I had a crack at an RS2000 a few years ago. http://www.moc-pages.com/moc.php/441339
  21. Or they can just get rid of it and leave the copy in the right topic.
  22. I've been doing some thinking about what sets would be released in the Speed Champions range for the next two years if I were in charge of it. I wanted to include a few new manufacturers and have some cars from manufacturers that are already asscociated with the theme. I won't be able to include photos of the cars due to the memory limit so, you'll have to look them up if you want to know what they look like. Please let me know what you think. Thank you. 2020 Newcomers: BMW & Lamborghini Stand-Alone Cars Lamborghini Aventador SVJ The range has almost all of the major supercar manufacturers. But not Lamborghini. Why? They're owned by VW like Audi and Bugatti are, so Lambo should be within easy reach. So, in this wave, Lambo is represented in the stand-alone £12.99 car collection by the latest variation of the company's flagship: The Aventador SVJ. My choice of colour scheme would be a yellow one with black wheels. The accessory would be an overhanging set of traffic lights. BMW iFE. 18 Another easy manufacturer to drag into the SC range would be Mini's current owners: BMW. Not only that but their entry in the current season of Formula E. It would really be interesting to see how Lego would tackle the complex design of current Formula E cars such as the wings and the halo around the cockpit. The trackside accessory would be a piece of wall with a jail door piece attached to the top as a fence. Ferrari 330 P4 Yes, I know, Ferrari have shown up to the party a lot already but when it comes to classics, the Stable Of The Prancing Horse still has some unplumbed depths. Plus, the 330 P4 would be a way to get the new mudguard pieces in red cheaper and easier. It wouldn't have a trackside accessory but instead, similar to the F40, this set would include pieces to turn it from the hard top Berlinetta version to the open top spider version. BMW M4 GTS We round up the 2020 stand alone car range with another Beemer. This time, the hardcore M4 GTS. It would be coloured dark grey and include orange wheels with silver wheel covers. The McLaren Senna was dark grey with orange wheels so the M4 GTS should already be easier to make. The trackside accessory would be a tool cart. Playsets 2019 BMW M8 GTE & 1979 BMW M1 Procar This would be the small £34.99 price range playset for 2020 and features two BMW race cars both old and new. Both would share similar paint schemes (white, red and blue) and would also include a pit wall with a control centre. Minifigures included would of course be two drivers and two BMW pit crew members. One male, one female. Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO & Diablo GT2 Challenge Finally, we top off the 2020 range with a set that fits into the £69.99 range. It would include the latest iteration of Lambo's Huracan GT3 race car in lime green and the 1998 GT2 spec Diablo in orange. And the buildings included would be a start/finish line light setup, a podium building similar to that from the 2015 Porsche 911 GT set, a tool cart, a fuel cart and a jumbotron with interchangeable decorated tiles, each with an image of one of the two cars racing around the track with some TV graphics. Minifigs would include 2 drivers, 3 pit crew members, a cameraman and a reporter with a microphone. 2021 Newcomers: Toyota and Aston Martin Stand-Alone Cars Mercedes Benz AMG ONE Mercedes are readying their new F1 engined hypercar, the AMG ONE. Now, come on. How could this not be in the Speed Champions range? Mercedes have been a partner of the theme already and I feel if they were to return, it should be with this. It would be light bluish grey with silver wheels. The trackside accessory would be a set of cones like you got with the McLaren P1 and Bugatti Chiron sets. Aston Martin Valkyrie The AMG ONE's main rival should also make an appearance here too. In a similar way the 2015 range kicked off with the "Hybrid Hypercar Holy Trinity". It'd be interesting to see how TLG would pull off it's simple yet complex shape. The colour would either be dark grey, dark blue or black with black wheels. The trackside accessory would be a digital readout similar to the accessory we got with the 1968 Mustang set but with a speed readout. Mini John Cooper Works GP Last year, at the Goodwood Festival Of Speed, I first laid eyes on the latest Mini JCW GP in concept form and thought it was one of the best looking hot hatches I had ever seen, especially amongst the vintage racing paraphernalia that was displayed with it. It would also be a way that Lego could release the SC wheels in red. The accessory included would be a pair of 1x6 rumble strips. Toyota Supra Many fans have begged for a Japanese manufacturer to appear in the SC range and after some consideration, the one most likely to show up would be Toyota which is being represented in the £12.99 range by none other than the new Supra. Possible colours would either be red, yellow or white. Or if the Supra were to take part in GTE racing, then that version would be the one getting picked. The accessory would depend on which one is chosen. If it's the road one, then a traffic light. If it's the race version, a small podium with a gold cup. Playsets 2020 Toyota GR Super Sport "LM Hypercar" & 1999 Toyota GT-ONE This is where things get good. In case you don't know, in 2020, the WEC is to replace LMP1 with a new class of "Hypercars" which will be more cost efficient and more based around road cars. Plus, Toyota recently announced that they would be making a new supercar after their 2018 Le Mans victory. I have no doubt in my mind that the GR Super Sport will be Toyota's representitive in this new class and as a result, this set will include the racing version of that. As for the other car, anyone who is familiar with the Gran Turismo games will know this car. A fine example of the old GT1 class that used to rule Le Mans in the 90's. It would be cool to include it in this set. The accessory would be a medium sized trophy podium. Minifigures would include 2 drivers and a photographer. Aston Martin Vantage GTE Fuel Stop The mid-size playset in this range would include a lime green GTE spec Vantage but without a second car, it leaves more room for a larger structure. In this case a pit stop similar to the one from set 75883 but a bit shorter in length and include a fuel tank on the outside of the pit entrance, a tool cart, and a small control centre on the inside of the garage. Minifigures included would be a driver and 4 pit crew members. 1954 Mercedes Race Transporter, 1954 W196 and 2020 Mercedes Petronas F1 Car And we top it all off with a very interesting addition. The very unique blue "Renntransporter" would be an 8 wide build with the SC wheels coming out in blue for the first time. The set would also include the number #12 W196 F1 car driven by Juan Manuel Fangio and of course, a modern Mercedes F1 from 2020. Accessories would include a finish line with some rumble strips and a small marshal's post. Because this set would include 2 cars and a medium sized truck, the rest of the set would be quite minimalistic. Minifigures would include drivers for the 2 F1 cars and the truck, a marshal with flags and a spectating enthusiast. So, that's it. That's what I would have lined up for the Speed Champions range if I were put in charge of it. Please let me know what you think of my ideas below. Thanks for reading!
  23. Sorry about that. Should I copy and paste this into there? I put a lot of work into typing all of this out.
