LEGO Speed Champions 2020 - Rumors, Speculation, and Discussion

The fact that you insulted other members then follow it up with shaming language says a lot about your personality. -

Yeah that is a welcome addition that started with the white 911. -

The Ferrari is growing on me even if the bonnet still looks weird. The review of the Jag set makes me loathe it even more. -

Their wheelbase has also increased, except for the quattro. The GTR has 8 studs between the front and rear wheel arch, that's the issue. -

The rear end looks a bit strange from the box art around the light cluster but I think I'll buy the GTR Nismo. -

Your P1 is a perfect example of a MOC that looks great and fairly study, maybe. LEGO's P1 bears no resemblance to the car and Jang claimed it did. The new Ferrari could have and should have been a masterpiece what with the 8 stud wide format. I'm looking forward to seeing MOCs that use the new windscreens more than the official sets. -

Indeed they are easier but there has been a lot of poor design in the Speed Champions range. There are too many MOCs of modern cars that are simply stunning compared with LEGO's efforts. -

Personally speaking, I think LEGO do a better job with classic cars. The F40 and 911 from this year are awesome, as is the Quattro for 2020 (except for the studs on the roof and not enough sponsor names on the stickers). I'm not impressed with the new Ferrari, especially the front end. Please let the Nissan be good so I have more than one set to buy in December. -

Needs more sponsor names on the stickers as well, looks a bit plain. -

Yeah, I have to agree with you. The Audi looks great except for the studs on the roof and no co-driver but the Ferrari looks weird with that front end. -

You're right, well spotted. Although in fairness the Mini set does have larger pieces to make the gantry and a 4th minifigure. I refused to pay £45 for the Mini set so I waited until it was a third off. -

So far, for me, three of the four cars are lemons. I hope the single packs are awesome and don't cost more than £20 each. Come on LEGO, release the pictures damn you! -

£34.99 for the Jaguar set is okay but £54.99 for the Lamborghini double pack is obscene. -

I still think that Lamborghini insisted on the Urus being included, I suppose a tractor could have been worse! I'll buy the set when it's heavily discounted at some time to get the Huracan. -

I used to find the stickers frustrating but now I find it relaxing to build the entire car first then apply the stickers later on. The Urus is such a let down, just like the works buggy was in the Mini set and the Challenger SRT Demon in the Dodge set. My favourite double set is the Ford GT and GT40. -

Well I for one refuse to pay those prices for the double packs. I'm glad I bought the Ferrari Ultimate Garage last month for a reasonable price, I figure that set will rise rapidly in the next few months. -

I notice the piece count on set 75894 was 481 and that retailed for £45. These two double packs have a greater piece count of 565 and 663 so what will their prices be? -

So far just the Huracan for me, still waiting to see the Audi, Ferrari and Nissan. -

I think the Urus in the Lamborghini double pack is boring and feel it's inclusion is at the insistence of the manufacturer. It's a bit frustrating when TLG produce double packs that only have one good car but I tend to sell the one I don't like. The Huracan looks great and the move to 8 studs wide is an evolutionary step in the Speed Champions range. I have collected Speed Champions for about a year simply because I always found the early sets to be really bad, I never gave them a second thought until I saw how good they had become in later years. I've tried to like the Jaguar set but I just don't see any appeal.
