LEGO Speed Champions Winter 2017 Rumored Sets

September 20, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 11 Comments

When the list of rumored LEGO 2017 sets came out last month, one theme that was missing for the initial wave was LEGO Speed Champions. A few days after that, the rumored sets for Speed Champion was indeed released which you can see below.

Mercedes-AMG GT3 (75877)
Bugatti Chiron (75878)
Scuderia Ferrari SF16-H (75879)
Mercedes Pit Stop (75880)
2016 Ford GT & 1966 Ford GT40 (75881)
Ferrari FXX K & Development Center (75882)
Formula 1 Mercedes AMG Petronas (75883)

As you can see, there’s a new car manufacturer with Bugatti and the Chiron should be interesting to see. Technically, Bugatti isn’t a new license as Volkwagen now owns it. Some existing manufacturers are also returning for 2017 with Mercedes, Ferrari, and Ford. After seeing this list of the winter 2017 LEGO Speed Champions sets, which ones are you looking forward to picking up?

LEGO Speed Champions Winner’s Podium Building Instructions

June 23, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

For those who miss out on the LEGO Speed Champions Toys R Us building event last week, I’ve been sent over scans of the instructions for the Winner’s Podium set. All of the parts are pretty common except for the printed checkered flags which have only been released in a few sets so you may have to find a substitution. Thanks to Bob for the scans.

LEGO Speed Champions Toys R Us Building Event on June 18

June 7, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

LEGO Speed Champions Toys R Us June 18 Building Event

Toys R Us has updated their in-store events page and on Saturday, June 18 from 11am-1pm, there will be a LEGO building event. For this one, it will be a LEGO Speed Champions Winner’s Circle Podium build which features a small podium with a trophy. Also pictured in the foreground are a couple of minifigures but they probably won’t be included so don’t get your hopes up on that.

The event is free and is intended for children but if you get lucky, older participants are sometimes allowed too. Make sure you get there early as these LEGO Toys R Us building events usually have long lines unless you live in a small city.

**Note: This is for Toys R Us USA.**
