Can you recommend a good display case that this would fit all of the set in properly? Thanks!

keep complaining because if you and I, as adults, will go insane with stickers, I can't imagine a 9 year old (as the box suggested starting age) applying 35 small stickers per car.

When talking about value, the Mercedes one is pretty much unbeatable, for $35 or the original price of $30 it’s a great deal. The double McLaren pack is also very cool and for $35 its value is still worth. The BMW for $45 makes it a hard choice, I personally love the set and will be buying it but am definitely gonna wait for some sort of sale. But yeah, my most anticipated set of this release, finally, we get BMW! 😂

With this I can only hope and pray we get more GTP and LMH cars in the future, imagine having a full IMSA field with Porsche, BMW, Acura, Cadillac, Lamborghini and Alpine. Plus getting the big 3 in WEC Toyota, Peugeot, and Ferrari who I know Lego have a good relationship with all three

Sometimes theres a limit on colors that can be printed or space available for holding the piece but agree that the Porsche from last year was fully printed. Y best guess is it may have been a production issue

those new elements used as headlights/taillights will make MOCs WAY BETTER ... and the amount of new pieces just from 2024 it will incease details for future MOCs

The set with the most stickers per piece is 1650 Maersk Line Container Ship

I believe that Lego/Chris's team intently choice the Dark Horse and the BMW'S, so they can flex their building skills.

Can´t wait to build all of the new Speed Champions

The shaping on these looks way better in video than it did in the pictures and the build looks like a joy to put together other than maybe a few too many stickers. The real downsides from this set come from having to place stickers on parts we were previously told we wouldn't have to such as the windscreen, headlights and taillights. This could have easily been the first wave where I get every set but I think I'll have to skip out in this one

Great review, Balazs!

The cars look nice. But Lego needs a service where they place the stickers on the set for you. I have dyspraxia and I really struggle with stickers as my hands tend to shake when I do fine motor tasks and then I place the sticker wonky and ruin it trying to remove it and place it again. I would hate to build this and it’s personally the reason I don’t buy modern 8x8 speed champions sets.

@@dsharp4763 I can understand that. However, the price for the kits have already spiked and I'd be willing to pay a couple extra dollars (no more than a $5 bump) for printed parts. I also don't believe that it would cost LEGO that much to add the correct prints to the sets. I don't like having to place the stickers myself in case they come out crooked. And while MOCs are cool, I'm not really concerned with printed pieces affecting that community.

this was a missed opportunity for lego to come out with the M4 GT3 and the legendary M3 E46 GTR. That would be a set worth $50.

That m hybrid v8 look sooo good

Thanks for the amazing review! This did make me rethink my choises very well

Awesome review as always Balaźs! When I got to see the double pack for the first time, I wasnt so excited, but your super nice review convinces me that the Speed Champions has again sprinkled some of their magic!

Many cool build techniques in those 6-stud wide platform, thanks for the great building review as usual.

this the set i was waiting for 🥰🥰🥰

This video is brilliant. Can't wait for the rest of the 2024 Speed Champions range.

It's nice to see BMW enter the ring of licened cars within the Speed Champions theme, however I can't help but feel a bit let down that we got them as two modern cars instead of the old vs new, which is something I would've loved to see for BMW's first set. Here's hoping we'll see more in the future though, I'd love to have cars like the M1, E34 M5 or E46 M3 in my collection That out of the way though I swear we're getting more and more stickers with these each wave

Thankyou for your elaborate review once again! I can't wait to build this set and place it in my Le Mans collection, although I will still make my own BMW M hybrid moc. While the set has its highlights, I feel it still lacks in accuracy, and I still can't get over the cockpit piece, which has a completely wrong shape, now having to also put tiny and unnessecary stickers on it. As you demonstrated with the Porsche 963 windscreen, lego seems to be totally capable of printing on any area that now uses a sticker, so it remains a mystery why they did partial print and partial stickers. I also can't help hut wonder why we do get tyre printing for tge f1 set, but not here. Michelin printed tyres would have been awesome, and elevated the set even further. I also wonder if the old rims from the 6 stud wide era or mclaren f1 set would fit, that would also help this set a bit, as many of the hypercars have quite bespoke rims. As for the M4, it seems a blast to build! Using many fancy techniques with studs in almost all directions. Looking forward to your other reviews!

I’ve got to hand it to you. You applied that sticker to the first windshield with smooth confidence!

Love the set

An M1 Procar would have been lit for this pack but the LM car ain’t too shabby either

Racing brick you cool you have uploaded in two days and it’s nice when you point out the problems while you build by the way have a great 2024

I'm a long time Speed Champions fan. (I got really hooked when I realized that I had to agree with Balazs that SC are the theme that offer the most innovative building experiences and the best value-for-money of all Lego themes.) I own all the 8 studs wide vehicles and then a lot of the 6 stud wides (some of them modified). I'm sad to say that so far the 2024 offerings don't excite me a lot. I actually prefer some of the "more normal" cars (Dodge, Mustang, Porsche 911) and the street-legal supercars (Ferrari, Lamborghini) over the racing variations that one would never see in real life, and that are overly dependent on stickers for their look. I like SC cars for the way their curves and lines are created with bricks and new innovative brick connections, not for the way those looks are camouflaged with stickers. (In quite a few sets, I have left the sticker sheet untouched, and quite often the car doesn't look bad without them: you can appreciate their Lego-ness even more.) The 2024 line-up feels to me like reiteration of cars from previous years. Yes, a Formula 1 car is always nice and there are new parts and improved curves, but we already have that. In that respect, the only car that excites me from this year is the Dark Horse Mustang. (Having said that, I will probably pick all of them up at some point, maybe early next year when they end up in the bargain bin. But I am not a day-one buyer for any of them. As an AFOL who likes Lego for the building experience, I am much more excited in 2024 by the 3-in-1 Creator sets with animals (that giraffe; that fox!!) than by the Speed Champions cars.

This looks detailed. I like the front section of the m4 GT3, really nice. One problem is the stickers. I wish every small part was printed

Those 2 plate high 1x2 slopes without the grill slats are pretty significant. There are so many MOCs where those parts are used and the grill is always a distraction on the surface. Yes, and the M1 would have been an exceptional choice side by side with a modern racing car.

tbe building experience with the first car and the looks are absolutely amazing I would recommend it to anyone

Man, this set is amazing i can t wait for this set

I don’t usually care about stickers at all (ofc, if something gets a print, that’s great, but I won’t get upset otherwise) … yet, even I have to question the sticker choices on the windshield - why didn’t they just complete the design on the sides they were already printing on?

This sticker vomit is too much for me. They printed the windshield and we need to put more stickers on it... This is some next level cost cutting from Lego.

I quite like both of the cars, the whole wave actually. But as you said, the double pack would benefit from a clasic car. Id love to see a 499P/250GTO doublepack, it would be a dream come true

I've finished them, they look GREAT I agree with you, stickers are REALLY hard to put on.

The amount of sticker applications required is keeping me from buying this set. I wish the Lego designers had decided to reduce the amount of sticker application required.

Interesting to see the steering wheel is used in two configuration (180° turned). At first glance I though it was put upside down, but after pause is can see “2” gear display being right side up.

Holy this set looks amazing even tho there’s a lot stickers thst I struggle with sometimes but still amazing to see. And plus my brain is gonna hurt building this got dang

A cool double set of racing cars. I do have a small gripe with each car; the windscreen on the GT3 doesn't quite sit nice and flush, due to the top of the driver's seat being just above the main body. On the Le Mans car, trying to attach the sides around the fin was impossible. Thank goodness for all the spare 1x1 bricks Lego provide! By adding 1 tile to each side on the middle connecting section, it sits well enough to be sturdy, while not too intrusive for a sleek look. Overall, a more challenging build in the Speed Champions range, but it's worth it (£44.99 in the UK)

The amount of stickers of the set reminds me of the amount from the Lego Technic BMW M1000 RR (42130) that I'm currently building.

Amazing models, precise recreating of doubtful beauty of the originals in lego form is a master level design, and cherry on top is insane amount of stickers. This set has no place on my shelf, ever :D

do the mustang next please!

Woah!!!! When I originally saw this set, I didn't like it at all. The pictures made it look like it was a classic-style six stud wide Speed Champions set. All the cool techniques used have piqued my interest. Will definitely consider it now!

Both cars look phenomenal. Really like how much intricate detail, and unique building solutions went into each of them. About the stickers. I feel it's a valent complaint as with the tremendous amount of stickers on these vehicles there's no reason in the world why Lego has to add to the frustration by aligning tiny stickers on a rounded transparent surface. A sticker on windshield has never looked good and can be a real eye sore if not applied perfectly. May pick this one up.

As someone who takes a lot of pride in my sticker placements. This set nearly drove me insane. Although I must say the finished M3 GT3 is gorgeous. I was skeptical of the 2024 Speed champion lineup given the price increase. Although I can’t emphasize enough that all 4 sets have vastly over delivered. The amount of details the designers added are unlike any previous speed champion sets and easily justify the price increase. Wail building the new sets I had at least a dozen moments where I was genuinely impressed with the building techniques. The designers weren’t afraid to use “illegal” connection which I loved to see. If this is the new standard for speed champions Im more than happy to keep buying them.

I won this set, it's my first one - I've never build real lego. it's really fun and enjoyable experience

I actually like the sticker option on the windshield given the fact I sometimes use the windshield for a different build for not necessarily the same car brand. 😊

The black wheel arches are a game changer, so i have a lego speed champions 8 stud wide black with yellow Porsche 911/992 GT3 RS moc, and the front and rear wheel arches are the city style wheel arches, and when i play, sometimes the rear tends to fall off, because it has like two or four studs of connection, and if i will buy the BMW double pack, i can just use the BMW M-Hybrid V8's rear wheel arches to give a lot more structural stability! And i will have the BMW M4 GT3 after all, so it will be a profit!

my only theory as to why you need to placed that red sticker on that windshield is to avoid colour from getting mixed in the printing process

I really like your step by step reviews highlighting special parts or techniques. If you read this: I noticed the yellow Defender in the background is not levelled and my OCD focussed on it 😅 I will keep watching if this will magically move in the next reviews 🤞🏻

I really like this line but this set having 71 stickers in one go is just pure madness. It’s funny how the age rating on these is so low yet adults like me have a hard time with stickers let alone 71 of them lol. I also think the fact that they want you to incorporate some with prints is crazy. As much as i wish lego would be completely out with stickers across all sets and just do prints, i would like at least a reasonable balance between the two.

I built my interior of thi m4 backwards to make mine right hand drive. Was a headache but fun!

I'll be honest, I love applying stickers to it

I am not missing out on this

I mean, the blue that's already printed on looks more than ok to me and not many colours have been printed on trans black in official sets but there's a minifig head that doesn't seem to get any of the bluishness on it so I think it has to be something else

I am collecting SC since 8 studs, have all of them. But the price increase and more stickers on the 3 cars you've covered so far is undermining my decision to continue. Seems like LEGO increased the price, but reduced their cost with printing and used stickers instead. Not happy with the change, and only semi happy with cars this year. So far Audi seems the best looking one for me, BMW is ok, not really sure about the Mustang and McLaren.

the bmw hypercar is the biggest speed champions flop imo, mainly bc the front bumper (im talking about the lights, they made it look like the 6 stud mustang and the new cars are not 6 stud) Now the m4 on the other hand… ABSOLUTE BANGER Side note: The hypercar design itself is pretty cool, and works well with the porsche. Hope they (can) add the lambo, ferrari, acura, caddy, alpine(basically every) in the future

This double set looks so pretty powerfully. I know stickers sometimes are so crazy to place them, but I think on these kind of racing cars are really necessary, just look the NASCAR Next Gen Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. I use a precision cutter hobby craft blade, it's a little bit easier.

My guess for the windshield is that with just the prints it is symmetrical which means it is easier to use in other builds. If this is the main reason, then it is good that they think about MOC builders too.

The windshield piece already has some prints on it, so I think the reusability doesn't change much with the additional stickers.

There needs to be WAY MORE rally car sets the only ones I remember is the audi s1 sport quattro and the ford focus rs that was 6 studs wide. They need to add the main three rally1 cars as a set or more group b cars

3:29 I am currently building Roadkill's Chevy C10 Muscle Truck with the boat trailer and the structural integrity, but especially the headlight area is giving me trouble since I'm building it in all directions. That's why that subassembly amazes me since even though it looks fragile, when attached, it's rock solid. How, Lego? HOW?!

First Lego BMW car set! I believe that the BMW motorcycle division is seperate from the automotive division so I wouldn’t be surprised if they needed new licenses for these.

these stickers are insane

With the increasing popularity of WEC/IMSA, I’m actually really happy its two modern cars. Really cool to display with the Porsche WEC car. I agree entirely on the stickers though, would love more printed parts. Especially the transparent stickers, as once they are creased if you have to re-place them, they look quite bad. Thank you for the thorough review! Will likely pick up this set. One quick comment though - do the wheels not have rims on them? Looks weird imo.

windshield or part of body. sticker should not be too bent, because it tends to un-stick itself after a super short while

I believe the choice of these two cars comes from the fact that this year they are making their debut together in the renewed World Endurance Championship (WEC). Maybe somebody already wrote it before, but anyway...

more stickers! - nobody

please make the review for the technic space VTOL

I need a video or maybe new elementary can do a guide on all the new radius curves and angled slopes in the last few years. Hard to keep up with

Hello, first of all, thank you for the extraordinary work you do, I love the work you do. I couldn't agree more with you especially about the stickers. I have been assembling Legos for a long time and I am especially a fan of the cars and the Speed ​​Champions set and I have to admit I do not like the excessive abuse of these in some sets. Not only do some of them come poorly trimmed or they don't look pretty at all or they don't make sense like the cabin of the car, and where these stickers bother me is the use on the front and rear lights, I prefer them to be transparent pieces like always. On the Pagani it's not that I was happy to see silk-screened headlights, but better this way than on stickers like the Toyota Supra. I didn't like it because of how it happened to the helmet, being transparent, one can't always align the stickers correctly so that they fit with the other pieces that join with them. Anyway, I really like the Set in general and as a fan I am waiting to receive my order, but I don't see anything wrong with saying that you don't like them, you are not the only one and you should always comment on the pros and cons of the product. Thank you very much for your work.

Maybe that one printed hood required stickers cuz there were too many colours to exclusively use printing on that piece? That's my best guess.

It would be interesting to see if Lego did a double release with stickers and a lower price and only prints with a higher price. Personally I would be willing to pay a fair amount to skip the stickers. I understand the reasoning and I know it would be impossible to do, but I can dream 😁

as someone who isnt a massive car enthusiast but loves the speed champions line, these look cool, but i feel like there are just way too many stickers. so many other good releases for the line this month so i think ill be passing on this one

I almost want to cancel my order for this set. Decorations like sponsor logos should be stickers so we can leave them off, but important details like the headlights and decorations that tie the different color bricks together MUST be prints. And that windshield sicker/print combination is an atrocity.

I want a speed champion theme for aircraft with crazy snot stuff

There’s a 5% chance I ever apply a sticker in any set I build.

These sets with the stickers are feeling more like die-cast model cars you'd find at a hobby store. Maybe this is the point?

Got mine yesterday on door dash for $59 love it im building it rn tbh😂and this part got me stuck 5:20

I really want this set, but it might be a bit utilized I get it. This is when I actually rather not have lego release a big wave of set because in 15 and don't have a job so I don't get a new lego set often and I like a lot of the new sers

Cool

Those windshield stickers can get in the bin

please post the Mercedes Technic F1 car build and review vid next, I am really exited

Brick Depot built the new Mercedes F1 last week and that has plenty of stickers - after all, it is a sponsered racing car, you always have the option to leave them off. My only issue with stickers is the longevity of colour and adhesion is unpredictable particularly in well lit conditions, as I display my cars I always consider using stickers carefully and will they enhance the model?

Personally i want to take to sets one to build and another to invest or save it for future, is it a good idea or i should spend 50€ on something different?

I am not sure if it was the way you said it, but twice now you have said those slopes are new..? (Four long, 1 wide.) I've had slopes like those for a while now. (Even as early as the Marvel Iron Man vs Mandarin 76006 set.)

Looks more like a pig snout than the iconic kidney stone design.

Hay Balazs. I think this Speed Champions double pack looks ok because of that amount of stickers it has. I would think the Ford Mustang Dark Horse and Audi S1 E-tron don't have that many stickers like this double pack. I will wait for your reviews on the last 2 sets for March.

I really like the look of the cars but honestly if I get it, I might leave the stickers on the sticker sheet and just pretend they're there lol

the half printed half sticker windshield makes no sense. Stickers are fine, until you mess them up, and then they're super annoying. I find it also ruins the flow of building, knowing you have to put a sticker on a part and hope you don't mess it up.

Cruise to see what the build looks like without stickers

Yaaaas!

For anyone complaining about the stickers, try building a Bandai Ver Ka kit, the amount of decals is outrageous compared to Lego

Correct sticker placement will increase resale value. Good thing I won't be reselling mine! 😅

M1 would have been great. But may be BMW is more interested in people pushing the newer cars.
