Looks pretty good!
I love that Mustang! Also, very interesting use of the rollercoaster track piece on the Ferrari Garage.
that new wedge tile is interesting!
All these look much better than earlier Speed Champions designs.
I love the set of two Porsche cars, that's awesome... also there appears to be a triangular 2x2 tile in the Ford Fiesta and I want to mess with that.
I'm liking the Ford Fiesta.
The Ferrari 250 looks a bit long & narrow- maybe should be a stud or two shorter
Except for the Ford Fiesta and Mustang everything else seems way too similar to previous Speed Champions to entice me. When I saw the Ford Fiesta Rally Car picture above I was hoping for a move away from the track cars of Ferrari and Porsche, although the Ferrari marked number 22 looks like an interesting car. I also like the rollercoaster track piece use.
The intake above the cockpit of the 919H is brilliant.
The dark green 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback is clearly a reference to the car famously driven by Steve McQueen in the film Bullitt (1968), and I couldn't be more excited.
Time to think about putting together a custom Steve McQueen as Bullitt minifigure!
Curious if the bricks are printed or all stickers?
Not very interested in Speed Champions, but the Ford Fiesta Rally Car is impressive. I will have to get it!!
Wow the 'Ferrari Ultimate Garage' is almost as expensive as a real life GTO! Joking of course but it is fantastically expensive. The double Porsche set looks very nice and I'm usually quite indifferent to Porsches. Still waiting on that Lamborghini license though.
The Mustang and Fiesta are the only two of the whole Speed Champions series I have ever been interested in. The Fiesta looks full of nice parts that are new enough I don't have! The Mustang has to be an homage to Bullitt, and dark green is my favorite anyways!
@waynlewis Speed Champion sets all come with a pretty hefty sticker sheet.
I don't believe any Speed Champions bricks are printed from what I recall. Built them all but its been a bit.
Cool colour on the one Porsche! Loving that lime green!
There were a few printed windscreens and the hot rod doors, but for the most part stickers.
I might pick up some of these, they look kinda cool. Love the lime green Porsche!
The Ford Fiesta WRC looks pretty good.
A pretty solid lineup, with the 919 being possibly the most accurate-looking SC yet IMO. In fact I like all of the Porsches, plus the 312. The Focus really doesn't capture the distinctive maw shape, but I'll be darned if they didn't give it a valiant effort. The red 488 unfortunately suffers the same problem as its predecessor, with the canopy/cabin a stud too far back, making it look like a front engine car. I love all of the aero trim, though.
Next wave I expect a Porsche 917.
These are surprisingly good. Loving the lime Porsche!
i agree, the green 911 is really good.
Huh, I really like the Ferrari Garage! I'll get it if it's $100 or less.
My oldest boy and I like all but the 919. The back end of the Mustang seems a bit off around the taillights. Otherwise it’s good. And both the 911 and the Fiesta are fabulous! Nice to see a rally car in the series. Overall I think that this is a ‘win’ and a good start to 2018.
I NEED that Fastback.
Glad we finally get some gender equality. Half the sets have female drivers in them
Fiesta rules!
I need to buy Ford Fiesta, but in driver's seat I will place Han Solo or Indiana Jones
in Mexican hat
Once again, I like the Ford models the most (love the Raptor and GT sets). Rest of the line is pretty well done, but for those who like diversity, they're a bit too close to what we got before. It might be difficult to get new licenses, but I would love to see a Mini Cooper, more Mercedes and an Aston Martin, plus some more US brands or models.
I love the green 911, but too bad the rest of the set doesn't interest me much. If it were a stand alone set I definately would've bought it. And I like the old Ferrari F1 car. Would love to see more old F1 cars. Tyrell 6-wheeler anyone?
Looks like there is possibly another single car set to be revealed like last year with the McLaren 720s. Presumably a car that hasn't been revealed in real life yet. But the ones that have been revealed are excellent! Possibly the best wave yet.
This might mean we're getting more rally cars. YES BABY!!!
I like most of them. The Mustang looks a bit strange at the front from this angle, but is a sure buy anyways. I also like the rally Fiesta, which will come with approx. 100,000 stickers. Don't really care about the 488 and the 919, but the 911s are a sure buy, particularly since I missed the Porsche finish line back then. The Ferrari GTO is one of my favorite cars ever, but not sure whether I want the rest of that garage, so we'll see...
Am I the only one noticing the new fender part on the classic mustang and 250 GTO? I was really hoping to love the 911 turbo, but I think it looks way to big next to the new 911. I think I will get a few of them.
I'd have bought all of these Speed Champions would they actually have looked good. Yet most of them don't even resemble the car they're supposed to resemble and instead are just a mix of intakes, vents, windows and stickers.
Love the lime 911! Hoping for a aubergine 911 Targa in the next wave... one can hope.
The Ford Mustang is sponsored by Lego and Speed Champions (based on the stickers).
I imagine those are far more meaningful sponsors for 7-14 year olds than the likes of Ansys and DMG Mori; however more realistic they might be in the real world.
Loving the Fiesta WRC car. Be nice to have the competitors from the WRC available too.
YES THEY MADE A CLASSIC FASTBACK
it's disappointing that the windscreens aren't printed anymore! :(
These look good for the pieces and the design I really want to pick up a lot of these
