Those SC designers deserve some recognition. It's just amazing to see how much work goes in these small models. The building techniques are mad for these little builds.
I have to disagree. Although there are some nice techniques used for the 8-wide SC sets, many Creator Expert or Icons sets use far more advanced techniques. E.g. to get the angles for the 10497 Galaxy Explorer right with only the smallest gaps is much trickier to design than the pretty much straightforwards snot connections for the SC cars. Usually the angled parts of the SC sets are only secured at one point. That is so much easier. But don't get me wrong: The 8-wide SC sets are still a joy to build.
I like that we're seeing movie cars in the Speed Champions theme. There are so many great, and iconic, movie and TV cars to choose from, without having to do a whole franchise of kits. I'm really looking forward to seeing which cars are done next.

@@piotrjasinski5795eh good or bad is subjective. Speed champions has been constantly evolving, providing great builds and cars that years ago you would never have thought would be available outside of the extremely expensive technic sets. At the end of the day, theres a charm in lego cars trying to look as close to the real one as possible and not a lego city 1 seater, its quirky and unique with lots of potential for mods. If you want hyper realistic model cars then maybe you should buy die-casts instead of Lego.
I'll definitely be picking this up. I'm so glad Lego's making more of these TV/movie cars. I hope we get some other classics like KITT, the A-Team van, Herbie and maybe some remakes as well like the Mystery Machine, Ecto 1 and BTTF Delorean
For attaching stickers I usually use X type locking Tweezers. When squeezed, the tweezers open and when released, the tweezers close. Very useful if something has to be held for a long time with tweezers. These types of tweezers are often for sale in hardware stores.
this set will be in my shopping cart ready to buy as soon as it gets in the store. I love this review because it is really detailed and it gives me more angles to looks at, thanks RacingBrick ❤
Can’t wait another 2 days … I have every single Speed Champions car on display and this looks - by far - the most amazing build. Love the channel btw … keep up the good work!
3:59 - YES! I knew I wasn't the only one who did that technique, using the big sheet to remove the stickers for corrections! As for the set itself, another super impressive set and even more crazy techniques to build it. These sets always look so simple from the surface but deceptively complex to build (for the casual buyers especially). They're pretty much masterclass level in design, and yet are still relatively affordable. Speaking of which, I know the designer said he couldn't fit a light brick in but it's really not needed, and we don't need Lego to have an excuse to bump the price up even further! Looking forward to what's next; especially the supposedly upcoming McLaren double pack which is claimed to include a version of the legendary McLaren F1....
I got this car last week and I'm just ecstatic to have the Skyline. When I was a teen I got Gran Turismo 2 and the Skyline quickly became one of my favorite cars. It's awesome to have one in Lego. It's not perfect but as you said it's Lego and I'm very satisfied with what we got. I love the Speed Champions line and it's the main body of what I collect from Lego now. Lego Corp definitely needs to do more rally cars and more JDM!
Another way to attach stickers is to use that black wrench that the minifig is holding. One end of the wrench had a sharp, flat surface, ideal for holding the stickers when positioning them.
I love this sets I grew up with the fast saga and seeing this icon car being made in my favorite toy company and finally getting a Lego Paul walker a must buy for me 9.5/10 (if only they were printed pieces)
The small sticker on top of the 3-gauges sticker in front of the NOS bottles should be rotated 180°. Reference the large pic on the back of the box. I wonder why they didn’t have a similar sticker on the same piece that’s in front of the steering wheel. Would make a great dash.
Would love to see other iconic cars in speed champions line up from the big or small screen. Kitt, General Lee, A Team van, Eleanor, Smoky n the bandit, other fnf cars, bond cars etc....
What a nice little R34. It will definitely find a place on my shelf, next to Dom's Charger of course. On another note, it reminds me how much I miss Paul Walker in FF series... : /
I want more F&F Speed Champ sets, BUT it makes me want them to dig into other franchises at this scale. Give me Kit. Give me Bumblebee (plus 2 if it can transform). Eleanor from Gone in 60 seconds. Speed Racer. At this scale and price point, there is just so much opportunity.
This set is another set imma pick up and the tip about the sticker removal blew my mind. The amount of stickers I have ruined on technic and speed champion cars
I have to say that looks like one of the better speed champion designs Lego has come out with. To be honest it actually doesn't look like a cheap build !! well done Lego !!
Nice video as always. I appreciated that sticker trick using the edge of the sheet. I will have to try that next build. I kind of liked the smooth look when you added that extra tile to the hood. I may have to add some tiles to see which I prefer.
Apologies if this is a bit obvious, but how does one attach the bumper that's connected by the 2 yellow snap bricks? I've done all the steps according to the building instructions but for some reason the yellow snap bricks just won't click on/stick to the 2 brown shaft bricks on the main body no matter how much force I try.
I really like the build, but i think that compared to another speed champion set like the Koenisseg, it's 1 stud too long, the end like hood and roof could have been thought a bit more but the rear of the car as for every other speed champion set is soo good looking, and the interior too
I would probably wait till the car is built before applying some of the graphics. Better to get them to align that way. IDK. Either way it looks cool and I will definitely be on the look out of it. Happy New Year!
Be nice to see more real speed championship. Like NASCAR AND NHRA. They did a blue Chevy Camaro car number 5 or 8. They did a nice Top Fuel car from NHRA which was part of the Moper set. I do like all the sets, they are really cool
I was looking for a review video as i was concidering buying it. But when i saw the stickers i was out. The blue stripes is what makes the nissan a 2f2f car 😅
I just watched (again) a video of the Mercedes 300 SLR (Uhlenhaut Coupe). That would also be a nice model! Unfortunately quite round and difficult to build with Lego, but they did a good job of the Aston Martin DB5! Greetings, Martin from Dresden 🙋🏻♂️
So if Lego continues to do F&F sets and if the next one will be Tokyo Drift one, I bet they'll do Han's RX7.
They would have to get the mazda license
Would they need a license from Veilside?
@@fishingnuke9331in theory
@Greeniacwhy only technic?
I hope they make the Sylvia or the Mistubishi
Those SC designers deserve some recognition. It's just amazing to see how much work goes in these small models. The building techniques are mad for these little builds.
Couldn't agree more!
They are awesome and it so much fun to watch the lead designer talk about the models😄
Wow. As always, the techniques in these 8-wide Speed Champions are unmatched in any other LEGO theme. Can't wait to pick this up!

They're definitely way better than the 6-wide ones.
I just collected all the Speed Champions sets. Should I build oldest to newest? Or newest to oldest?
@@ss90kim oldest to newest so you will see how they changed over the years
@@ss90kim Get the ones on the shelves first before they retire. They'll be a tad bit more expensive on the secondary market.

Yeah for sure. Imagine Steve mcQueen’s Mustang fastback from Bullit
@@FairchlldMusic1 There's so many cars I would love to see:
General Lee w/ Bo & Luke Duke
Herbie The Love Bug w/ Jim Douglas
Blues Brothers Police Car w/ Jake & Elwood
"V8 Pursuit Special" (from Mad Max) w/ Mad Max
Ferrari 575m Maranello (from Bad Boys 2) w/ Mike & Marcus
BMW M3 GTR (from Need for Speed Most Wanted '05)
Ford GT40 Mk II (from Ford v Ferrari) w/ Ken Miles
I could go on and on...
Blues Brothers, Grease, american graffiti, Christine even Waynes world has a cool movie car I would like to see next
Chris is a genius with how he makes the shape of the car
@@cdnron75 Well, I have checked and none of them was great.

What about the V8 Interceptor from Mad Max and the Nux Car from Mad Max Fury Road?
@@USDMXTHEPROEXPERT Or the Jurassic Park Jeep! Since they have the license, if only...
@@SeBinoCreation theres already a jurassic park jeep
I would love a deathproof car from the Tarantino movie
i slightly doubt the delorean since that one was basically speed champions size anyway
For attaching stickers I usually use X type locking Tweezers. When squeezed, the tweezers open and when released, the tweezers close. Very useful if something has to be held for a long time with tweezers. These types of tweezers are often for sale in hardware stores.
I use toothpicks
I'm partial to ifixit's halberd spudger. Really thin blade, lets me position the sticker with precision.
I use normal tweezer but its like a sharp one kinda like 2 toothpicks
Speed Champions sets on an absolute roll the past year. 2023 looking equally epic.
The more I see of this car, the more I fall in love with it. Especially considering the building techniques. Wow!
this set will be in my shopping cart ready to buy as soon as it gets in the store. I love this review because it is really detailed and it gives me more angles to looks at, thanks RacingBrick ❤

Definitely can't wait to pick this one up
I bought myself the Charger for Christmas, I hope they continue making these, maybe doing one car per movie.
So fast. So furious. WHOA!
i like how they were able to get the steering wheel properly aligned to where the driver sits
i realy like how u show everything. gold star to u for that.. great video also ofc,.. good work.
The front end was so well-designed. Looking forward to getting my own!
I'm so buying this, it looks great! Thx for the review
I get this skyline gt-r r34 yesterday and im so happy. Its perfect car
The car looks amazing from a distance sitting on the table like that. This is a buy for me.
i need this so bad. love skyline love fast and furious! i will pick it up instantly when it becomes available.
I love this sets I grew up with the fast saga and seeing this icon car being made in my favorite toy company and finally getting a Lego Paul walker a must buy for me 9.5/10 (if only they were printed pieces)
bro its 1 am. I should get to sleep.
on the contrary
(I should watch this)
This will be my second Speed Champions car after the Lotus Evija, which was a ton of fun to build. Can't wait till i got my hands on this one!
Cant wait to get my hands on this and the rest of the 2023 lineup
I'll definitely be adding that to my collection. As always your builds and opinions are greatly appreciated. Happy New Year from USA Texas!
Out of stock everywhere for retail price before it hit the shelves and preorder. Other sites are selling if for $60 to over $100.
same here, can't find one for a regular price! i hope it will be available again in the next days

I wonder why they didn’t have a similar sticker on the same piece that’s in front of the steering wheel. Would make a great dash.
That building techniques at front are just right
This Skyline looks stunning, will definitely get it. Thanks for the review Balazs and Happy New Year to you and your family 🥂
Would love to see other iconic cars in speed champions line up from the big or small screen. Kitt, General Lee, A Team van, Eleanor, Smoky n the bandit, other fnf cars, bond cars etc....
You can also use the tool you get to remove the wheel inserts to apply stickers
I would LOVE AN RX7 SO MUCH. My actual dream car.
Chrome rims - thats awesome! 👍
I honestly started using the tool that the lego characters carry to apply my stickers if I can’t find a toothpick or tweezers ! Just use the flat end
I hope other than supercars we get simply good famous cars like BMW or Mercedes
What a nice little R34. It will definitely find a place on my shelf, next to Dom's Charger of course.
On another note, it reminds me how much I miss Paul Walker in FF series... : /
I would like to see a turbo truck from the fast and the furious ride as a set!
I think it could have looked better, but it´s nice they left some studs visible, like we used to do in our own cars as little :3
We have Speed Champions Dodge
And we have Technic Dodge
Now we got Speed Champions Nissan Skyline
Lego... You know what to do
Can’t find a single store with one in stock in Toronto, tiktok turned this set into the new trendy thing and now everyone wants one as a flex
Veilside FD3S in speed champions form factor.. would be a dream.
I am so excited for this to come to Alaska, I am a skyline guy
The build is very interesting! And thx for the sticker tips!
I'm planing to buy one at some point
I want more F&F Speed Champ sets, BUT it makes me want them to dig into other franchises at this scale. Give me Kit. Give me Bumblebee (plus 2 if it can transform). Eleanor from Gone in 60 seconds. Speed Racer. At this scale and price point, there is just so much opportunity.
There'd be an opportunity to release a movie SC car practically every month and there'd be still a lot left out...
This set is another set imma pick up and the tip about the sticker removal blew my mind. The amount of stickers I have ruined on technic and speed champion cars
Good looking build. I cannot wait to get it. Thank-you
I use the edge of a razor blade to apply stickers. And to reposition if needed.
As a Skyline fan boy I need this ASAP
it will be lovely to see Hans RX-7 or my favoryte Drift Kings 350z
Lego needs to do Brian's green Eclipse from the first movie.
I have to say that looks like one of the better speed champion designs Lego has come out with. To be honest it actually doesn't look like a cheap build !! well done Lego !!
It isn't cheap though: about €25...
All of my earlier SC-'s were under €20 😉
Hope Lego would make some more Movie and TV show cars for the Speed Champions lineup.
Can’t wait to get more movie cars! As well as regular cars
Can’t wait to buy it
I want a mini modular series built with the care and imagination that these 8 stud wide SCs are.
I have been wanting a R34 GT-R in Lego form for years. Will be buying two of these for sure. Going to modify one of them into a Z-Tune.
Nice video as always. I appreciated that sticker trick using the edge of the sheet. I will have to try that next build.
I kind of liked the smooth look when you added that extra tile to the hood. I may have to add some tiles to see which I prefer.
Do you happen to know what those tile pieces are called? I want to look for them so that I can do this to mine.
Hope that Lego Group would have provide bonus to the designers of Speed Champions in the form of stickers that they can apply wherever and whenever.
I’m 100% picking it up
Don’t mind the studs on the top, but hate them on the bottom. Destroys the clearance of the car and causes it to easily get snagged
i havent bought lego in years, but when i seen these 2, i picked up 2 of each.
If Paul was still living,he would love these fast and furious cars😞
Excellent Review. Best Paul Walker movie was Running Scared. Very Graphic & Bloody... Great Review & Tips. I rarely use stickers.
I just got this of Amazon for 20 euros and it arrives tomorrow I will buy a display case and the toretto set in a couple of weeks also😄
Can you send me link to it I can’t find it?
@@5.0_Juarez i tried but youtube removed it instantly 😂 just search for Lego 76917. I found it that way.

Now that we have the skyline we need the mitsubishi eclipse
Hey can you do more of those kind of fast and furious cars Legos
5:18 what happened to the side mirror 😅

Next fore the fast and furius car line. The vailside rx7 and a Han minifigure
I hope walmart stores sell this set im gonna buy this set on January 6th 2023 i hope they don't get sold out

im waiting for this set so i can buy one!
Just got these two and building rn let you know how they go
Imagine lego makes the breaking bad RV in the speed champions theme that would be cool
Will Speed Champions ever be able to do Mad Max cars?
I would love to see the 1968 mustang fastback from bullitt
Do you find some extra pieces in the bags?
you always find some extra pieces
They should do Sukis Pink S2000, Hans RX7 or the Brian’s orange supra !
I was looking for a review video as i was concidering buying it. But when i saw the stickers i was out. The blue stripes is what makes the nissan a 2f2f car 😅
Its a nice set but I do prefer the RollingBricks R34, only downside of that is the lack of livery.
Just waiting for the orange supra😅😅😅
If Lego is picking one car from each F and F movie, for Tokyo Drift - Han's Veilside RX-7.
We would like to see a starsky and hutch car
Just got it yesterday 😊
