These sets for such a small price give you the experience of building the coolest 18+ sets. That's why I love speed champions (oh yes, the parts themselves are also very cool, I'm a system MOC'er)

I like their size for being able to easily display them easily! in contrast to some of the technic cars that can take up a lot of real estate

I'm a modular collector. SC appeals to me for the same reasons - all the technique and innovation in an Expert set but crammed into a tiny space. I'd actually argue that Speed Champions requires even more ingenuity due to its size and requirement to faithfully replicate real-world items.

I love these sets but i hate how mostly the headlights are just stickers. It severely detracts from the look of the finished model. The Lambo is well done though with the stickers under the Lego pieces.

Nice review, thanks! Two additions to the Countach: in the real version, the steering wheel is'nt aligned with the driver seat as well, as the big front wheels take so much space, the driver is sitting a bit angled towards the middle of the car. The suplied minifigure most likely represents Valentino Balboni, the legendary former test driver of Lamborghin (and he usualy wore such an 70s/80s leather jacket and jeans). So even more attention to details from Lego!

Do you have any reference about the steering wheel's position? As I read the pedals are shifted to the right, but the steering wheel is actually shifted to the left.

@@RacingBrick if you look at photos of the dash, you can see the centre column of the steering wheel doesn't line up with the central line of stitching on the chairs. The steering wheel is shifted slightly to the center of the car.

I'm really looking forward to this Speed Champions wave, the techniques and new elements used look interesting and the level up in detail you can really see. I'm mostly looking forward to the Aston Martin pack and the Lotus finally getting British makes but the Lambo and Ferrari will be clear highlights.

Didn't the original countach had the spoiler placed in a way that it totally blocked the rear view? So for me the thick spoiler of the lego model is more like an easteregg than a flaw

Yes. It also caused the car to go slower, and created zero downforce. It was only a cosmetic part. However, it did look much cooler with the wing. And the countach already looks cool

Speed Champions has me regularly buying sets again. Next level LEGO. Constantly amazed at how much detail they manage to fit in a small model. The Lotus and Lambo are a must-buy for me. That Lambo is really top-notch, and an Iconic model to boot. Not too interested in the Ferrari. Very nice that you continue to cover Speed Champions. Also, I think offering criticism is a sign that you take the design seriously. It's a sign of respect.

I am in the same page, buying sets.

I've finally built the Countach - the headlights use internal reflection through the clear bricks to bring up the image from the stickers underneath! I've never seen that before, and this idea never occurred to me. It is such an amazing technique and produces an awesome effect. Not to mention all the other awesome craziness in this set. Mind blowing.

Even if the cars aren't perfect, i still celebrate them. For me, these 3 models are definitely the SC high lights in 2022. Thanks for building and showing them.

I love Speed Champion series! They are definitely getting better.

Like you said, Countach looks amazing for the small scale- and with those great-looking wheels! I hope Lego keeps making incremental design improvements every year with Speed Champions, these models are something else compared to those from 3 years ago.

The reason why I watch your content is because you are very informative and critical. Well done and keep it up.

I liked the 6 wide Speed Champions, bought quite a few, but I fell in love with the 8 wide, had to have all of them, the same case this year, the improvement, atention to detail and the designers listening to their fans is What makes me love the new Speed Champions, thanks guys, keep up the good work, you as well RB 👍

Fantastic rundown on the build assembly, details, accuracy of each model. Really looking forward to building the entire wave in March. Though the simplest of the three builds, countach still looking the best, though the printed canopy looks almost grey against the white of the actual car. Lego really needs to improve that.

I remember years ago when I built the 6 wide McLaren Senna set. I can really see the visible difference in making these sets 8 and even 9 studs wide. This was definitely a needed improvement, as these are as close to die-cast cars as you will get for such an amazing price. Love speed champions, and love your videos, keep up the great work!

Great review! I appreciate you going through all the details, the 8 wide cars are now basically model cars that are fun to build instead of "toy" cars, definitely my favorite theme currently!

I'm so excited.Ive been waiting for the countach for so long and it's finally here! :D

FINALLY OMG I've been waiting for the reviews!

I love the 8w Speed Champions, they are getting better and better. The building techniques are awesome!

Eagerly waiting the W12 and AMG Project one set review. 😍

Love this set. I played with LEGO when i was kid (sadly not any was left), now 25 years later i brought myself my first sets, LEGO Speed champions is the first and i love them, i have Lamborghini Countach and Porsche 963. Hope LEGO will release more from this theme. They do not need long to put together but its fantastic and they look great on shelf.

i love countach :)

Yours is the only review I respect, well done as usual

I can't wait to get them! I love to Countach most. Partly because it is one of my favorite cars. The 512M is stunning as well and the Lotus is my least favorite one. The Speed Champions sets of this year are definitely the best of all time!

Nice video! My favourite is definitely the Lamborghini Countach!

Can’t wait to get the Lamborghini Countach, the lotus Evija and the Aston Martin double pack

I've only recently adopted the Speed Champions sets, and I'm loving them. I am very critical of the shapes also, as I grew up with many of them as posters on my wall, or watched them racing on TV. I appreciate your level of detail on the cars, especially the Lamborghini. I'll likely have to get a few of these sets, and make some of the online MOC's available as well as the Lego set. Keep up the great work and videos

I always look forward to the Speed Champion Sets. They are my favorite Lego line. Great review.

Love these it's about time lego made some throwback cars and the new Lotus with the original Lotus Green and yellow colors. It's my favorite wave of all time.

Great review. Looking forward to adding them all to my collection of Speed Champions. ✌🏻

Protect speed champions at all costs!!!

Awesome review as always!! Thank you for your honesty!! Can’t wait to get the Lamborghini on my shelf!

God that Ferrari looks amazing

I’ve loved speed champions for years. The countach looks sick.

8:42 Just like the stickers on the Lego Speed Champions Porsche 911 turbo 3.0

I found the Evija on shelves early at my Walmart so I picked it up. I was very afraid the forest green-ish color wouldn't look good on the final model, but it's really grown on me. Was also a blast to put together, the Lotus firesuit for the figure looks spectacular. Can't wait to find the rest :)

Cool video and great cars, gonna add them to my collection!

Your Wing Fix on the Countash was great. I'll make sure to do that when I get mine soon.

I can't wait to get the 2022 line up of these. By far my favorite Lego theme.

The extra thicc wing on the coutach is accurate because the real wing was famous for producing more drag than it did downforce.

Not been long into Lego again, but these sets are just sang to me - being 8-wide, makes them superb display models and are super collectable. I definitely want these three, I have five already, and need more!! Thanks for the constructive views; there has to be a lot of compromise, but the fact they are coming up with unique pieces, and starting to introduce Technic assemblies, says to me that Lego are taking note and trying to improve all the time - which can only mean that these little beauties will be around for a while yet.

I just built the Ferrari 512M last night. 3:02 I found that the replacing the flat painted clear brick on the side of the head lamps with a solid red flat brick greatly improves the look. If you look at the actual car on the box you will see the headlamp has more of a boundary separating it from the fender. Plus the painted brick does not match the red bricks. A solid red brick greatly improved either side and front look of my model. I also used two black L bricks under the chassis to lower the axle and allow for the clearance of two large racing slick tires, again, in accordance with the photo of the actual car. Minor details. The car itself already looks great built to specs.

Damn I'm really excited for this

With the way speed champions are goin', they totally seem to be mini creator cars 👍🏼☺️

I'm looking forward to getting the Ferrari in March, thanks for the review!

Oh god that Countach... I love it so much!

Great sets. excellent review.

I'm training to choose a speed champions car to buy, and this videos help a lot, I love the attention to detail and build techniques. Thanks!

Can't wait to build these beauties!

I tend to get a Speed Champion or two as a little cooldown build and a way to see what kind of new techniques could be displayed. of the three, the Lotus looks most intereting just on color alone, but all three certainly have their charm to them. Nice review.

Can’t wait for these. So much better than last year’s line up.

They've done many great things with this new wave, i agree with you on the color variation between brick, prints, stickers, etc... all this should match very close together as it's truly takes off from the look when not matching. I'd like to see in the future of Speed Champions the introduction of a wider wheel that goes along their "standard", so the cars that have staggered wheels/tyre setup are done correctly. Otherwise... i'll be buying all of these in a heartbeat!

6:05 the driver wheel technic looks like the one used on the McLaren Elva in 2021

I bought the Locust, today. And I'm really impressed with it. Gorgeous colors too

Like the 2022 wave a lot. I will buy all of them. Thanks for the review.

I got all 3, but have only built the Lambo so far - and it was AWESOME! I love love love the 8-wide Speed Champions sets - so much detail, solid builds, and my kids can play with them.

Your videos are really well done you should have more subs

i love this channel your review is so calm. next do the mercedes :)

Need that Countach so badly, can't wait to get one🤩

this is good

The Lotus accuracy is horrendous but the Lamborghini and Ferrari look mint 👌🏾

I really like the Ferrari. I never got any speed champion so I might pick it up at the LEGO store.

For me, the best Lego Speed Champions is the Lamborghini Countach.

I remember the days when lego cars where pretty much just bricks put on top of each other and some wheels that were the same for all the sets. These are completely next level super detailed and probably as true to the original forms as it can get. However I feel that is kind of a drawback of these sets - they kind of fall into the uncanny valley of Lego sets, they look very close to original to be recognizable but not enough to be a really good representation of original. It's kind of a thin line between Lego and a classic plastic breakout models.

Have you seen Bricks Blocks and Mocs lamborghini countach, a work of art!

Modern day speed champions are so great

I think the countach is on the next level!

Thanks for a great review, they are all awesome, fine for their size. Good to know the details about their building. Don´t like the huge amount of stickers those dudes from Lego refuse to eliminate completely ! At least the Lotus has barely two headlights printed...Hope they keep going that way, PRINTING LEGO pieces! 😎

There needs to be a balance. Too many printed stickers means to many specialized elements that you can barely reuse anywhere else.

New 2022 Speed Champions dropped early for me, (March 1so official, local smiths had it a week before) was saving for a chocolate chip tamagotchi but i went home, grabbed my whole savings, and walked back then bought each one (+benz amg) before the Smith’s closed. best decision ever.

That Countach looks sick. Wish Lego would do a larger version to the scale of the Mustang without alternative porsche build but this will have to do.

Sometimes ago I swore to never start the speed champions collection (because it is probably too addictive!!!). But as I love the retro racing cars, I have to confess I need the Lambo and Ferrari in addition to the Ford Gulf from last year ✨🤩🤯 Excellent review 🙏

Ooo the lotus looks amazing, I might pick that up, I've already got a red dodge charger made from instructions from this line

My favorite set use to be the Corvette set. But after this Lambo Countach set came out, that instantly became my favorite set. Even tho I am VERY into Corvettes, this Countach set is incredible. I can’t wait to get my hands on it

Yea the countach is great but the best one was the group B quattro set..... Best looking one.

I think you're right about the transparent clip under the wing of the Lambo. As far as the NACA duct (I learned a new word) all they needed was to provide sticker at the top to complete the triangular shape. I guess someone could use black paint to complete it. IDK.

Just got the Countach yesterday. It's awesome.

When I saw for the first time the new wave of speed champions I had decided that I'll skip the Lamborghini but you review is making to change my mind. Thanks for the first impressions

these were really great sets of speed championship series. i'm not interested in Le Mans cars but building this ferrari was a brilliant experience. it was so joyful! lotus has also interesting ways to build and has great colors.. in real life, my favourite was countach but somehow this one comes after ferrari, i think...

In my opinion, I don't think you are too critical. You're simply pointing out what should be said and help us make up our minds on whether this is a set we may or may not want. I have heard of many collectors who have had bad complaints about the color matching and it can be a big deal breaker for some. So pointing it out is definitely something that needs to be said.

Your channel is very professional with these reviews

The Countach is on my shelf right now, waiting for assembly. :)

since the stickers are clear on the Countach, its actually possible to make the wheels silver with the stickers!

Really enjoying your Speed Champions reviews. I checked and the rear glass from the Lotus has been around since 2017 and has been used in 27 previous sets. Part# 27262

i remember the early releases of the 2021 cars like it was last week it went so fast but felt so long for the next 2022 wave

like your video as always. I also like the Lamborghini

im absolutely gonna get the countach and the ferrari

The lotus now interests me as for the other 2 I was already going to get them. Looking forward to the twin packs especially the Aston Martin one need to be convinced with the lime car

Bought all three in a buy 3 pay 2 action. Can't go wrong for a total of 36 Euro ($37). These 8 stud wides look so much nicer than the 6 stud wides.

the ferrai is to beautiful cant wait to get it

Countach looks really good made of Lego. I want it.

Definitely getting these 3 and the Mercedes’ sometime set this year!

Nice

Oh wow, I have not bought lego's in a long while, but I might get tempted this year, just by he sheer history associated with these models.

The plate and brick with a pin hole was also seen on the newest red tractor used as the front wheel axle attachements 4:46

HI there - just curious about your sticker application techniques, any pro tips???

Too critical...? Not at all. Such analysis is why I watch your channel. Thanks for another great review. I think I shall probably be buying all three of these models this year.

Definitely going to get those three on the release day :)

My fave set is the lotus and the countach

Those are definitely cool cars but im still waiting for a BMW Speed Champion Set.

Another great review! Going to get that Lambo to add with my speed champion Porsche 911 Turbo. Now I just need Lego to make the Ferrari Testarossa and my classic sports car collection from the 3 major brands will be complete.
