LTA5

My guess is that it is a normal bare bones 65$ mustang which comes with a bunch of extra parts so that you can customize it, like adding a wing, swapping parts of the front end or adding side skirts. Basically a build your own custom Mustang set.

I know that. However I do think price still is a pretty big factor on what is 18+ and what isn’t. A 11 year old would probably not spend more than 250$ if they wanted a Unimog model, but a adult most likely would, so why not make it 18+ to make it seem more “premium” and “adult focused”. The Liebherr R 9800 and Land Rover Defender were 12/11+ when they came out. But their sequels (Cat D11/Merc G500) which came out after Lego launched the 18+ brand both got that age rating/branding. Not because they were a lot more complex, but because Lego knew that very few children would spend that much on a single set, so why not market them as “for adults”. Same thing with the Volvo EC500 last year, could have been 11/12+ based on complexity, but was 18+ because basically no kid would spend 400$ on it.

What scale do we think it will be? I think it must be smaller then the first one considering a modern version of that one would likely be more than 250$. And I think at a price point like that modern Lego would just make it 18+, not 11+.

The Aston Martin F1 set is the ”AMR26” First Lego set ever that sells zero copies?

First 2026 leaks! (from Brickmerge.de) January sets: 42218: 7+, 10€ 42219: 7+, 30€ 42220: 7+, 30€ 42221: 9+, ?€ 42222: 9+, ?€ 42224: 9+, ?€

Should soon get the rumours. Last year the sets got listed on Brickmerge August 2nd, so hopefully tomorrow.

If we are getting another WEC hypercar it probably won’t be the 963 or the M-Hybrid V8 because we already have speed champions versions of those.

Feel like a Ferrari 499P would sell quite well.

Do we have a 2025 set discussion thread? Because I think we have gotten our first leak. According to The Unibricks on youtube (not sure how reliable he is or where he got the info from), we will get a Fast & Furious Supra next year!

Full reveal of the set is this thursday (July 11th) according to Brick Clicker, should give us answers to a lot of our questions.

Pictures of the Mercedes G500 are out!

This set is basically the ultimate successor to 42074 and 42105.

Looks pretty decent for being this scale. Pretty intressting how many F1 sets we are getting this year. If all the rumors are true and I have counted correctly we are getting 5 different F1 sets: Icons Mclaren Mp4/4, Speed Champions Mclaren Mcl60, Technic pullback Mercedes W14, 18+ Technic Mercedes W14, Speed Champions Aston Martin safety car and AMR23 (not 100% confirmed). I guess this means that sets like the 2022 Mclaren and the Speed Champions Mercedes dualpack with the W12 sold well, and that we are probably going to get more in the future.

The Porsche GT4 E performance is an all electric racecar, which probably means that it’s either a pullback or control+ set. My bet is on control+ because we never got a small RC vehicle in the winter/spring, and I could see them selling a RC 1:16 car with 1 hub + 2 motors for 130-150 €. Plus a pullback set in the summer would be a bit weird.
