  1. Hey-hey, does it really come true? I only wonder if we get 4X4 or 6X6 G-Wagen
  2. I thought you meant M4's windscreen. This particular one is "only for printing" due to such curves... Stickers may look terrible on it. "Lamborghini V12 Vision GT" should have a lot of relatively big curved parts rather than some small slopes to fit into the limit of 230 parts. As for the "Aston Martin Duo", these two relatively equal cars also meet our proposals. The only mystery so far is this "big set" 76924 and if/when Mclaren F1 76919 will be released...
  3. Well, all previous SC sets that had this windshield, all had it stickered, not printed because of its relatively flat and rectangular shape (no 3D curves that may cause some stretches for the sticker).
  4. Brickset also doesn't list it... Maybe it was shifted to summer?
  5. Or put a 1x1 round plate (that will half-sink in the wheel's center pinhole) and then add the 2x2 round tile.
  6. Wow, nice idea, @prototyp! I'm only afraid if the spokes will leave too small space for this tile. The existing wheels are significstly recessed, and New ones, seems to be not...
  7. I thought about the low-profile wheels. These ones will require another covers. Maybe these Cup plates, which were used for recent Creator Expert Corvette headlights? %
  8. I clearly see printed 2x2 Round tiles with pin hole as wheel covers here))
  9. Well, if I'm not mistaken, the BMW set will include the 6-wide windscreen with no prints (the black upper line seems to be a sticker).
  10. Following these numbers, I propose the following sets: 76923 ($26.99, 230 pieces): a car like F1 bolide or something about it: t has 3 pieces lower than 76909 Mercedes-AMG F1 W12 E Performance Or, it could be a kind of "lazy-made" car like the 76905 Ford GT Heritage Edition (224 parts), a pair with highly-detailed Bronco, that is less likely for a solo model. 76924 ($49.99, 806 pieces): the biggest set ever (before the champion was 76922 BMW M4 GT3 + BMW M Hybrid V8 with 767 parts in total). It should include two cars, following the price, and due to the parts count, they may be: - Some big SUV-like car with ~430 parts (like Bronco R) - Some pony-like (or similar to BMW M4) car with 376 parts. So far these types of cars have the biggest part count, due to their size and bulky design. 76925 ($49.99, 564 pieces): a more "convenient set" with two cars. Considering, we may have two F1 cars in 2024 (76919 McLaren and 76923 ?unknown?), this set may include two more or less equal cars with 260-300 parts. Potentially, the cars will remind Koenigsegg Jesko + Ferrari F8 Tributo. Otherwise, having some bigger car like Skyline or SUV, there will be too few parts for another car, that will become F1-alike. Here are my guesses:
  11. They are custom-made parts I shaped and added to the Studio models: https://bricksafe.com/files/Void_s/speed-champions/76920 - Ford Mustang Dark Horse Sports Car.io https://bricksafe.com/files/Void_s/speed-champions/76921 - Audi S1 e-tron quattro Race Car.io https://bricksafe.com/files/Void_s/speed-champions/76922 - BMW M4 GT3 %26 BMW M Hybrid V8 Race Cars.io
  12. I may be hugely mistaken but I see a new part comes to the SC theme, the one which I wanted to get a lot a long time ago... I found that both BMW and Mustang have a solid thin black line between the sides of the "glass canopy" (windshield + side windows) and SNOW slopes and panels on the sides, so it couldn't be a use of known 2x2 and 2x1 brackets (it is a straight 6L line, with no gaps or recessions). Then, I found that TLG published the 3D animation, where the hypothetical part looks solid and then I spied some rounding mount points behind the driver seats of Mustang. I combined it with my proposals for Audi's rear spoiler (did you notice the narrow 6-L-wide red line?) and shaped the following detail. It fits perfectly! Update #1: The Mustang is ready (I colored the part in Tan to make it better visible), the same location could be found in the BMW M4. Update #2: Audi is ready (the part also in Tan here)
  13. Yeah, now comes even closer to Pen+Pineapple+Apple+Pen, well, why not, if Modular builds are Modular builds anyway
  14. I would highlight that the "entire space series" here is not only "Technic Space" but all "Space" series including City. There are the sets that use that "Dark Orange" part (in DBG at that time) as a connector between the modules, so potentially we may have nice City+Technic combinations.

  15. I had the one once - the previous owner for some still unknown for me reason decided to put such a weird thing... I changed it to the regular transparent one in a few days as I realized that it even made the traffic light colors look strange, it was simply dangerous. As for the "authentic shade," I would prefer to have a more greenish hue (instead of bluish) as it better replicates the modern "thermal glasses" on premium cars (those, that have a little green reflection and said that can better reflect the infrared (thermal) radiance).
  16. OK, the image is here, getting ready for new parts and let's go Studio-ing... \ Blue shades in the pictures are stronger than real parts color, so I suppose that all blue-shaded parts are too colored here, and the windshields really not-so-blue and will appear as a "slightly bluish black" color.
  17. They look too MouldKing-Cada-whatever-ish for being an official Lego set: Weird windshield color A lot of exposed studs and plates protruding outside of the "smooth shape" (compare M4 and Audi shaping) Fully nu-rubber plastic wheels... While the wheel covers themselves may be cool, being mounted they look like "Duplo Wheels" with visible mount pin-connectors. Nice idea but weird result....
  18. Wow, I see new parts here: Wedge 2 x 1 Left No Studs + Wedge 2 x 1 Right No Studs (a smaller version of 80177 and 80178 slope-wedges) - M4's front Wedge 3 x 1 Left No Studs + Wedge 3 x 1 Right No Studs (a thinner version of 80177 and 80178 slope-wedges) - M's front 1*2 tiles with cut angle Wheel Cover 16 Spoke Recessed with Pin Hole (a new version of "Wheel Cover 10 Spoke Recessed" wheel cover but for new wheels) - both BMWs And... It is really interesting, windshields in a new trans-black color (not old ones in trans-brown) for all cars (3 windshields in total).
  19. Yeah, I'm also waiting for Mustang Dark Horse (76920) to see in which color it will be. The original car has "Blue Ember Metallic" paint which is a kind of Dark Blue color with Ember "glitter sparks" inside that make an orange tint for some reflection angles. I suppose that TLG will use a Dark Blue color (that returning is very welcome after the Ford Fiesta set) and have a little hope that it could be not just a "Dark Horse" but "Dark Horse R" with bright race decals (the stickers, for sure) the could be optionally missed to have "just Dark Horse" exterior, without color accents. Plus, I would like to see how the exterior itself is done: there are a lot of MOCcers who made thousands of Mustang variations in Speed Champions scale, and some of them are really masterpieces, so I wonder to see how TLG will present their designers skill.
  20. Well, there are plenty of other car or race-related movies with remarkable models... Does somebody know when the previews were released (or leaked) for 2023 models? May be some TLG press-releases, or some toy fairs.
  21. That act may have a lot of reasons, plus I suppose that TLG may do some "refreshment" sometimes like rotating the designers' crew: once employee/influencer/ambassador does not mean "forever": they have a valid status while they achieve the expected amis (whatever they are). If someone (I'm not going to claim that it is a fact) is going to "burnout" and slips to something that is less desired (out of creative ideas, out of rage to inspire, or simply "mentally tired"), this person could be substituted. Also, if some abstract new-born v-blogger appears from nowhere, gets 1M subscribers, and keeps promoting the desired things, he or she may get a "new ambassador" title... Just a business.
  22. A little gift for Speed Champion owners: a stud.io custom part of a "known competitor brand" (I wonder why TLG does not make them) Display Case for Speed Champions series. Being an owner of a certain number of these sets, I had a "dust problem" and found an elegant solution by using them (not an advert of an undesired 'brand', I do not publish the vendor name) and they work amazingly. For those who may use them and would have their digital model for Stud.io, I made it as a pair of custom parts: bottom-base and shell-case.

  23. I would love to see it together with the source... https://www.brickfanatics.com/lego-speed-champions-formula-1-rumoured-2024 @Bartlomiej, your idea with comparison of piece count for all 8-wide models for all years works - this set was within the range of F1 or low-detailed cars, so it appear as a new F1 car.
  24. SNOT with a pair of 1*2 wedge-slope and 1*1 "1/4 of Round" tile, I think..
  25. I performed some research, and the coming cars and their parts number perfectly fit into the existing scheme: The only mistake I possibly made is BMW 2-car pack: M Hybrid V8 will possibly have more parts than "LeMan"-like cars, so M4 will be closer to pony cars...
