Lordoflego Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I can’t wait….can’t wait for them to retire so I can make few bucks I like them all, what can I say, I’m a sucker for cars. Plus I actually had a privilege to drive one of them couple months ago…. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudoty Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 None of the 2022 SCs are Retail Exclusives that makes the Ford Bronco/GT the only retail exclusive 8 stud. Looks like the Countach and Mercedes are the early winners. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only occasionally reselling LEGO to support my newly rediscovered LEGO habit / addiction so buying a bunch wasn't even on my radar. I kick myself each year a new wave comes out that I didn't load up the first few years. I feel like this has to be the best wave yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair some of them were overproduced and underperformed compared to sets from other themes with the same MSRP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudoty Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share Posted March 18, 2022 Remember back in 2015-17 they were always marked up 20% on the shelf before all the discounts. Anyone seeing these at Target yet? https://www.target.com/p/lego-speed-champions-aston-martin-valkyrie-amr-pro-30434/-/A-84114442 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redghostx Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I built the Lotus on the weekend and it's fabulous. I echo all the others that say this is the best of the entire line so far. I still have a couple of each of series 1 in sealed box that I need to sell at some point, and I fondly remmebering paying $9 a piece at TRU.Yay LEGO! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redghostx Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Check their prices on eBay and Amazon. You can thank me laterI sold a Bugatti when it was around $150, which was the highest of the cars, followed by the mustang gt if I remember correctly. I haven't looked in a year though. Yay LEGO!

TheOrcKing Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 On 3/14/2022 at 5:39 PM, Pseudoty said: Good video and great shot for a thumbnail to boot. The change from 6 to 8 stud wide for the builds was the best decision for the line, I agree. In the past I have tried to work within the limitations of a 6 stud wide chassis and found it made most rides too narrow and sometimes awkwardly chunky in areas they should not be. Odd as it sounds, a 7 studs wide frame mostly worked allowing nice detail while fitting on a standard minifigure roadway. Looking back most of the Speed Racer cars were 8 studs wide I believe. Still the initial releases are good for what they are and can always be revisited by the LEGO company or its fans. A couple more years and Speed Champions will look like the lineup for Gran Tourismo or Ridge Racer or any of the other racing titles I played the heck out of over the years. ....Man, I just realized I have so many racing games. Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
