@MetxsightseerRailfan I'm honestly more surprised that City is only 20 years old than speed champions being 10 Thought City was super old, considering its legos main - non licensed theme
The Kick car is actually a Stake car in real life. This means that Lego purposely made the decision to scrub any mentions of the actual gambling site from the set.
Kick is owned by Stake. So they really went a step further than just scrap the betting site. I believe in certain countries selling a kids toy with betting marketing on it would be a violation. So the set would be unattainable in certain countries with really strict gambling laws. RB being 18+ was the only way to get that set on the market. While many countries sell energy drinks also to kids. I know it's bad. In my country for example there are no restrictions on either Energy drinks nor betting sites. But this is the way they could get past the threshold to sell these sets. And I doubt the RB car would not be attainable for kids in many countries. But I wonder if stores will get into trouble if some kid who loves F1 walking about the door with that set.
An entire CMF series of the same thing in different colors and an entire wave of Speed Champions in basically different colors with different stickers, and then a few of the city sets are basically just remakes of the original Speed Champions sets with different cars. I don’t dislike a lot of this stuff but as someone who always buys a full case of CMFs and also owns every single Speed Champions set released so far, this just looks like potentially spending a lot of money to basically get the same things over and over in different colors if I want to keep up with the SC sets and not miss a CMF series.
I guess but releasing them all in a single wave practically guarantees that some of these f1 sets will shelfwarm. They really could've just done 2-4 teams per wave or something similar to that
@Unowdvalco yeah, but then you have complaints that the only Speed Champions things for 2025 would be F1 themed. So, better to release them all in January and let people pick them up throughout the year.

The most interesting thing here are the fact a couple of the F1 sets are marked as 18+ sets, which I think could open the door more 18+ themed speed champion sets from more adult oriented shows/series which will be interesting to see. Other than that though I'm kinda torn, 10 of the same repetitive build is insane and I'm not interested in that at all yet I also don't want to miss out on any since I love collecting all the 8 stud SC sets, plus the resell market is nuts and I do expect price scalpers to target the F1 sets heavily.

IMO what they should've done is give us the Speed Champions sets with yellow F1 drivers and then used the collectible cars to give us the mini cars along with the actual drivers heads. That way people buying the Speed Champions sets might also go for the collectible cars to replace the heads with the actual people and have flesh tone heads instead of yellow ones
I mean it is somewhat nice for f1 fans to have all of these cars but for non-f1 enthusiasts, I don’t think they will buy more than 2 at max of these f1 cars. I don’t think anyone who is not a f1 fan is buying a visa or kick or williams or moneygrams compared to more famous brands like Mclaren, Ferrari, or Mercedes tbh
@@EnzoNotFerrari21 30-35 years ago Williams used to be the best performing team in F1. Way more people will buy their merchandise than the team’s sponsored by ecommerce and shady tech companies

@@EnzoNotFerrari21 exactly. That’s because Williams and redbull aren’t automakers like Mercedes Benz or Ferrari but everyone knows about redbull sports. Williams honestly has poor marketing
I kinda like the series tbh. I'm not an F1 fan AT ALL but if this opens the door for CMF series to become slightly more like polybags with more elaborate mini builds or accessories for the figures that could be AWESOME
My only guess why Kick isn't 18+ is because although Kick has content not suitable for kids, it isn't 100% not for kids (similar to RUclips or Twitch), while energy drinks like Red Bull are just not for kids, no matter how you look at it. Weird, but I assume that's why
I think the same thing, If Red Bull is 18+ kick should be too. But I actually have the opposite at the same time... Was Red Bull being 18+ a regulation by law, by Lego or by Red Bull? Regardless I think protecting kids from the "dangerous" concept of an energy drink is something the parents should do, we had Red Bull in the house and my parents educated me on the effects of it. Most kids won't even think about the brands on the cars anyway. Better safe than sorry I guess, but now that expression REALLY applies to KICK, a kid would actually be compelled to go on the site if Lego says it's ok.
The cars are pretty cool, but I love the scrap yard! Very cool concept for a set! Given the high standards of LEGO, I am surprised the KICK car exists and isn't 18+.
Okay, if Lego CMF becomes Lego collectibles, I hope that subtheme of CMF will be ongoing alongside whatever else Lego produces. If not, this will not work out well, I feel
Here’s hoping in 2026 we get a Lego Castle or Pirates gets the “Super theme.” I already see speed champions stuff go on clearance fairly regularly at my local stores, and now Lego’s turning City and CMF into Speed Champions? It’s just gonna cannibalize sales!
@@Queen_Cherry LEGO ended their partnership with shell. They didn’t end their license because they ended their partnership when they introduced the speed champions theme. LEGO had the foresight to realise Ferrari racing merchandise sells well
i'm just sad that lego is switching over to vehicles instead of buildings. i know a ton of kids like cars and trucks but remember when creator 3 in 1 used to offer houses with little cars? those were the good days man
@@just2good true, but the reveals here are just vehicle based. some people still want to build lego cities, but that just isn't as easy anymore. you can't just pick up a small 30 dollar house from the supermarket
I don't understand the hate for 71049. I think they are super cute and the big helmets on top remind me of Funko Pops. This is a cheaper alternative for the speed champions, so it would be easier to make a collection with them. Definitely getting all of them by scanning the codes.
Okay I saw these and I remembered a Lego happy meal toy. It was a series of race cars made of 3 pieces each and you could combine different layers (bottom middle and top) does anyone remember these?
kinda crazy that they are making a kick car amid all of the controversy especially because they are usually very much on the safe side with this stuff, like the overwatch 2 sets,osprey etc
As a formula 1 fan I’m super hyped for the F1 CMFs, particularly the redbull, Ferrari and Mclaren versions. For the city sets I will be buying the Mclaren city 6+ racer and the Ferrari pit stop with pit crew; and I might pull the trigger on the F1 truck just because it has the red bull racer. For the speed champions I’ll be buying the redbull, Ferrari and Mclaren versions. If you can’t tell the 3 teams I have any interest in are redbull, Ferrari and Mclaren
Coming from a family who’s very into F1 I’m very excited for the sets I’m very curious to see if the 10+ cars will have the actual Drivers as Lego minifigs like for Example Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, Carlos Sainz Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, Valterri Bottas, etc.
10:07 I would argue that Red bull is 18+ not because Lego feels like it, but because in europe you need to be 18 to buy energy drinks. You don't have to be 18 to use kick
Not correct. Each country has it’s own laws and restrictions. Here in Sweden, there is no age restriction on energy drinks. There’s recommendations of 15+, but that is NOT to be confused with restrictions or laws. It is basically entirely up to each store what age limit they want to have, if any at all.
@Inyria still, in many countries energy drinks have been recently made an adult drink. It doesn't matter that not every country has done so, the fact that some did seems to be enough of a reason for this choice.
@ That is you speculating what their reasoning behind it is. And I also just pointed it out as you said ”in Europe”, indicating all of Europe and not ”in parts of Europe”. Hence why I just clarified.
@Inyria Of course I'm speculating, that's why I said that I would argue it's the reason for it. We most likely won't ever officially know the reason for it, but that feels like the simplest explanation. And I don't really feel like this needed clarification at all, but whatever^^
I think the ones in City are the most controversal because they are licensed. Personally, I don't think its a big deal. I don't see it as being any different than the Space sets that were put out in early 2024, which were NASA licensed.
It's kind of a big deal. There's a huge difference between a collaboration with a national space agency, a scientific institution and a streaming site propped up by crypto gambling where all the nazis, bigots and pedos flee to when they are kicked off of youtube and twitch. Also, cash app is also problematic since it's the #1 favorite finance app of criminals.
I’m an F1 fan and I’m glad we’re finally getting every team. I do agree that all of the sponsors are silly (and not the most ethical) but as someone who wants accuracy I’m fine with it. The city F1 cars have no appeal to me, why would I buy a dumbed down version of the speed champions model (its great for the kids though). I will add because you mentioned it, you said Haas right, but you said Alpine wrong.
Honestly wondering if trying to sell identical builds in different colors is lowkey a Bionicle market test (all our fandom can do is grasp at straws lmao)
What I’m curious about is the fact that they’re working with chell again. Since they ended their partnership like a decade ago after controversy. Just feels weird
I don't really care about most of the F1 stuff, but I'm definitely getting at least two or three of those collectable race cars. Speaking of which, Brickset says that they're getting to be five dollars US,not four.
I like the F1 wave, instead for Kick I be skipping that, City good' SC love it, CMF1 is cute I get it its taking a CMF spot but I think its an experiment to expand the collectable series. I say this its a huge gamble to dedicated a wave to F1 but it will succeed at some don't like it but when it succeeds .maybe Lego will do WEC, a WRC, Formula Drift and Hoonigan.
The sauber is missing a vital part of the name which is why I thinks it's 10+ instead of 18+ as the teams full name is Stake F1 team Kick sauber and stake is a gambling site
You are totally justified for speaking up about kick, I guarantee that if anyone google “Kick” they’ll find a headline about a streamer doing or saying horrendous stuff. Wild because Lego would actually be promoting hate speech
Lego: "Ight we gotta 18+ the RB20 cuz it's tied to energy drinks n shit" Kick Sauber: "Y'all can't possibly do that to us though it's just a company name don't worry about it mate" They probably made it 18+ only because they don't want kids messing with their car and saying "red bull is bad" after building it and want it to be a "collectors" edition even though it's lego LOL (These are just jokes nothing real)
On the pronounciation note, Haas is a soft S rather than a Z sound and Alpine is French so it’s pronounced Al-peen. And VCARB is usually said like a word. Vee-carb! 😊
Honestly disappointed in LEGO for allowing that kick sponsored car… Edit: girl you aren’t too sensitive for questioning that sponsorship especially to me that just feels like a 180 from the “everyone is awesome” set
I think I will probably get the f1 blind box collection, mainly for my grandsons, but no idea how they can be displayed. I like the scrapyard set and the F1 truck set but im not sure if theyll be worth the aussie prices. My oldest grandson will most likely want the speed champs sets for his collection, i do like the helmets and steering wheel (not controller), but this years lineup seems to leave out the non car collectors 🤷🏼♀️
Maybe I'm just a car loon, but I'm hyped for the F1 series! I haven't been too interested in the regular cmf series recently, so I guess I'm the minority in this opinion. I don't mind. I like F1.
may get the Ferrari one as bit of a replacement for the old Ferrari F1 cars i had at one point with the old ones, and the blue and white F1 car may fit well as a Stark Industries branded car
I’m pretty sure Lego when making the age limits don’t really focus too much around what’s going around, the general audience themselves don’t really know what kick is, I doubt the people up in Denmark do either. Plus let’s be honest, no one outside of the die hard Lego community memebers cares about 10+ or 18+, Lego at it’s principal is for all ages
The most controversial Lego set is set 60420 "Yellow Construction Excavator", because I rebuilt it into a Rammstein concert stage with the giant d*ck cannon from the song "Pu$$y".
@@FanOfDeadpool758 LEGO thinks this will sell. LEGO is global. Formula 1 is global. LEGO doesn’t make every decision just for the American market. Just because these sets might not sell well in the USA doesn’t mean they won’t sell big time across the world
I'd argue that the Marvel and DC partnerships are much more controversial. Since there is a lot of violence in those movies. And they are not really kid friendly. F1 might not be the needed IP but this is interesting to see. This is the second time they do a brand wide secondary IP with the last one being Space. Which is their own IP. So who knows what they'll do next.
I actually like the little f1 cars as they are probably going to be minifigure scale in terms of height. Also I find it funny that redbull is 18+ and the kick and Aramco being 10+. Saudi Aramco is a an EVIL oil company.

But I actually have the opposite at the same time... Was Red Bull being 18+ a regulation by law, by Lego or by Red Bull? Regardless I think protecting kids from the "dangerous" concept of an energy drink is something the parents should do, we had Red Bull in the house and my parents educated me on the effects of it. Most kids won't even think about the brands on the cars anyway.
Better safe than sorry I guess, but now that expression REALLY applies to KICK, a kid would actually be compelled to go on the site if Lego says it's ok.
@@AlexDown1 I think LEGO would think the target audience of these sets don’t even know what kick/stake is
The cars are pretty cool, but I love the scrap yard! Very cool concept for a set!
Given the high standards of LEGO, I am surprised the KICK car exists and isn't 18+.
@@AbsolutelyJason I’m not surprised because LEGOs morals are so inconsistent they keep moving their own goalpost
Okay, if Lego CMF becomes Lego collectibles, I hope that subtheme of CMF will be ongoing alongside whatever else Lego produces.
If not, this will not work out well, I feel
The city ones look phenomenal, simplified and classy
3:24 the minifigure is remind me of Taiyo Hando from boonboomger
BOON BOOM
Here’s hoping in 2026 we get a Lego Castle or Pirates gets the “Super theme.” I already see speed champions stuff go on clearance fairly regularly at my local stores, and now Lego’s turning City and CMF into Speed Champions? It’s just gonna cannibalize sales!
I'm more shocked at the shell stickers on the Ferrari one, we already had a controversy on that, why go back to it?
oh yeah that returned with the senna set iirc
@just2good Ahh, never really been a speed champions fan so I didn't know, thanks.
@@Queen_Cherry LEGO ended their partnership with shell. They didn’t end their license because they ended their partnership when they introduced the speed champions theme. LEGO had the foresight to realise Ferrari racing merchandise sells well
i'm just sad that lego is switching over to vehicles instead of buildings. i know a ton of kids like cars and trucks but remember when creator 3 in 1 used to offer houses with little cars? those were the good days man
i mean, i’m sure we’ll get some buildings for city, as some of the bigger non-f1 sets havent been revealed
@@just2good true, but the reveals here are just vehicle based. some people still want to build lego cities, but that just isn't as easy anymore. you can't just pick up a small 30 dollar house from the supermarket
I don't understand the hate for 71049. I think they are super cute and the big helmets on top remind me of Funko Pops. This is a cheaper alternative for the speed champions, so it would be easier to make a collection with them. Definitely getting all of them by scanning the codes.
So far, I'm curious What will that 3 in 1 Fire truck, Helicopter, And submarine set will look like.
Im honestly kinda dissapointed with city, i dont care about the f1 sets but those non-f1city sets arent in scale at all with the other city sets
Okay I saw these and I remembered a Lego happy meal toy. It was a series of race cars made of 3 pieces each and you could combine different layers (bottom middle and top) does anyone remember these?
Would love to see a Collectables line of Animal Crossing furniture packs or something like that
the tiny F1s look so cool, big shame its probably taking up the minifig slot though
kinda crazy that they are making a kick car amid all of the controversy especially because they are usually very much on the safe side with this stuff, like the overwatch 2 sets,osprey etc
@@davidg9649 The examples you gave are why people say LEGO keeps moving their goalpost
The fact they think the silly cars will sell more than AC CMFS is crazy.
(Sadly its true)
Lego and F1 cooking out here. Wish NASCAR did this today.
As a formula 1 fan I’m super hyped for the F1 CMFs, particularly the redbull, Ferrari and Mclaren versions.
For the city sets I will be buying the Mclaren city 6+ racer and the Ferrari pit stop with pit crew; and I might pull the trigger on the F1 truck just because it has the red bull racer.
For the speed champions I’ll be buying the redbull, Ferrari and Mclaren versions.
If you can’t tell the 3 teams I have any interest in are redbull, Ferrari and Mclaren
nice :)
Everyone complaining about Red Bull as though children have never exposed to the brand before.
Coming from a family who’s very into F1 I’m very excited for the sets
I’m very curious to see if the 10+ cars will have the actual Drivers as Lego minifigs like for Example Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, Carlos Sainz Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, Valterri Bottas, etc.
10:07 I would argue that Red bull is 18+ not because Lego feels like it, but because in europe you need to be 18 to buy energy drinks. You don't have to be 18 to use kick
Not correct. Each country has it’s own laws and restrictions.
Here in Sweden, there is no age restriction on energy drinks. There’s recommendations of 15+, but that is NOT to be confused with restrictions or laws. It is basically entirely up to each store what age limit they want to have, if any at all.
@Inyria still, in many countries energy drinks have been recently made an adult drink. It doesn't matter that not every country has done so, the fact that some did seems to be enough of a reason for this choice.
@ That is you speculating what their reasoning behind it is.
And I also just pointed it out as you said ”in Europe”, indicating all of Europe and not ”in parts of Europe”. Hence why I just clarified.
@Inyria Of course I'm speculating, that's why I said that I would argue it's the reason for it. We most likely won't ever officially know the reason for it, but that feels like the simplest explanation.
And I don't really feel like this needed clarification at all, but whatever^^
I think the ones in City are the most controversal because they are licensed. Personally, I don't think its a big deal. I don't see it as being any different than the Space sets that were put out in early 2024, which were NASA licensed.
It's kind of a big deal. There's a huge difference between a collaboration with a national space agency, a scientific institution and a streaming site propped up by crypto gambling where all the nazis, bigots and pedos flee to when they are kicked off of youtube and twitch. Also, cash app is also problematic since it's the #1 favorite finance app of criminals.
I’m an F1 fan and I’m glad we’re finally getting every team. I do agree that all of the sponsors are silly (and not the most ethical) but as someone who wants accuracy I’m fine with it.
The city F1 cars have no appeal to me, why would I buy a dumbed down version of the speed champions model (its great for the kids though).
I will add because you mentioned it, you said Haas right, but you said Alpine wrong.
Honestly wondering if trying to sell identical builds in different colors is lowkey a Bionicle market test (all our fandom can do is grasp at straws lmao)
What I’m curious about is the fact that they’re working with chell again. Since they ended their partnership like a decade ago after controversy. Just feels weird
@@lilnoob303 LEGO ended their shell partnership not their shell license
I agree with you 100% the kick car should be an 18+ set. 👍💯🔥
I don't really care about most of the F1 stuff, but I'm definitely getting at least two or three of those collectable race cars. Speaking of which, Brickset says that they're getting to be five dollars US,not four.
that’s weird, press release said $3.99 😭
May 1st!?
😢
I'd buy the one's with red car. I'm simple
@@Jonk2014 u a Ferrari guy? 🏎️
i'm absoultely getting the kick car not even because I like it but having an officially licensed gambling car is hilarious
ME IRL
I like the F1 wave, instead for Kick I be skipping that, City good' SC love it, CMF1 is cute I get it its taking a CMF spot but I think its an experiment to expand the collectable series.
I say this its a huge gamble to dedicated a wave to F1 but it will succeed at some don't like it but when it succeeds .maybe Lego will do WEC, a WRC, Formula Drift and Hoonigan.
The sauber is missing a vital part of the name which is why I thinks it's 10+ instead of 18+ as the teams full name is Stake F1 team Kick sauber and stake is a gambling site
My god speed champions all just the same car multiple times but with different liveries
Also, I honestly completely forgot Kick was a thing
You are totally justified for speaking up about kick, I guarantee that if anyone google “Kick” they’ll find a headline about a streamer doing or saying horrendous stuff.
Wild because Lego would actually be promoting hate speech
@@kclowney97 LEGO isn’t promoting hate speech. Hate speech is a minuscule byproduct of an auto racing collaboration
Lego: "Ight we gotta 18+ the RB20 cuz it's tied to energy drinks n shit"
Kick Sauber: "Y'all can't possibly do that to us though it's just a company name don't worry about it mate"
They probably made it 18+ only because they don't want kids messing with their car and saying "red bull is bad" after building it and want it to be a "collectors" edition even though it's lego LOL (These are just jokes nothing real)
Personally, I don’t care that it takes up a CMF series. I do mind that the cars aren’t the kind you pull back to go. Missed opportunity in my opinion
That weird CMF makes me think of this race car toy I had a kid where it was just a head and helmet in the car. It's a big year for cars apparently.
@@Songal18 those were the original racers sets from the early 2000s which were re-conceptualised as LEGO happy meal toys
@@MayoHosko Okay
Not sure if I'll get all 12 of the blind box cars but will get a few of them.
Cool LEGO preview!
I wonder if Speed Champions would ever do cars of iconic movie racers like Tom Cruise from Days of Thunder or Speed Racer!
@@nobodyviews LEGO probably couldn’t justify the R&D for those licenses
On the pronounciation note, Haas is a soft S rather than a Z sound and Alpine is French so it’s pronounced Al-peen. And VCARB is usually said like a word. Vee-carb! 😊
thanks lol
Can't wait to pick them up on clearance.
Honestly disappointed in LEGO for allowing that kick sponsored car…
Edit: girl you aren’t too sensitive for questioning that sponsorship especially to me that just feels like a 180 from the “everyone is awesome” set
@@ReeksofChees3 I bet kick would have refused LEGO to make sauber F1 cars if LEGO had refused to acknowledge that kick/stake sponsors the sauber team
I think I will probably get the f1 blind box collection, mainly for my grandsons, but no idea how they can be displayed.
I like the scrapyard set and the F1 truck set but im not sure if theyll be worth the aussie prices. My oldest grandson will most likely want the speed champs sets for his collection, i do like the helmets and steering wheel (not controller), but this years lineup seems to leave out the non car collectors 🤷🏼♀️
Lego needs a Lego Octane F1 Team
Maybe I'm just a car loon, but I'm hyped for the F1 series! I haven't been too interested in the regular cmf series recently, so I guess I'm the minority in this opinion. I don't mind. I like F1.
This looks really cool, that I might actually buy!
I know that everyone is hating on the micro cars, but I like them because they are so cheap
may get the Ferrari one as bit of a replacement for the old Ferrari F1 cars i had at one point with the old ones, and the blue and white F1 car may fit well as a Stark Industries branded car
I’m pretty sure Lego when making the age limits don’t really focus too much around what’s going around, the general audience themselves don’t really know what kick is, I doubt the people up in Denmark do either. Plus let’s be honest, no one outside of the die hard Lego community memebers cares about 10+ or 18+, Lego at it’s principal is for all ages
@@cocoawaffles7580 exactly less than 1% of danish people would waste their time or brain cells even knowing what kick is
Don't we have the racers theme for these kinds of sets
Bring back *THE REAL* Lego City sets please
It's really too bad F1 fans aren't getting much in 2025...
right? 😭
The most controversial Lego set is set 60420 "Yellow Construction Excavator", because I rebuilt it into a Rammstein concert stage with the giant d*ck cannon from the song "Pu$$y".
lol
Did we need this partnership?
@@FanOfDeadpool758 LEGO thinks this will sell. LEGO is global. Formula 1 is global. LEGO doesn’t make every decision just for the American market. Just because these sets might not sell well in the USA doesn’t mean they won’t sell big time across the world
100%
I'd argue that the Marvel and DC partnerships are much more controversial. Since there is a lot of violence in those movies. And they are not really kid friendly. F1 might not be the needed IP but this is interesting to see. This is the second time they do a brand wide secondary IP with the last one being Space. Which is their own IP. So who knows what they'll do next.
Legos also removed all the gambling sponsorships apart form kick
I don't need any of them....and yet I know I'll probably try to get them all.
me irl
best lego ambulance is from spider-man 2 set
I actually like the little f1 cars as they are probably going to be minifigure scale in terms of height.
Also I find it funny that redbull is 18+ and the kick and Aramco being 10+. Saudi Aramco is a an EVIL oil company.
Awesome video Just2good
We got a KICK lego set before GTAVI 😶☠️
Kik and Kick are very different
I kinda like the F1 collectibles. They're just little guys
We get a Kick branded set but not a RUclips one
@@ShadowJohansson1994 that’s because kick is tied to the formula 1 collaboration. LEGO has no collaboration with RUclips in any way shape or form
Hopefully your able to put heads on the collectable cars
It’s pathetic that people are angry over branding on cars like grow up people most of you are in your late 30s
If it’s a brand is not suitable for children then it shouldn’t be aged as on a toy made for kids plain and simple
@@nixic7127 exactly most people complaining don’t know how the corporate world works
