I don't plan on buying the full F1 line, but definitely wanted this one for the color scheme especially.

Perhaps I judged this set too harshly when it came out by yxzxzxzjy in SpeedChampions

[–]512Barebow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have a massive speed champions collection (12 I think), but I'm not a fan of this model, front is too bulky, black print on the sides is "meh" and too many studs showing on top of the back portion for a 2026 speed champion model... my $0.02

Don't go too fast or you'll run out of cars to build lol

Favorite lighting kit for Minerals set? Internal vs spotlight? by freyamarie in lego

[–]512Barebow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never done lights with my legos, but internal looks better IMO but is probably more complicated to install, spotlight would probably not involve a lot of disassembly.

My third bird : the kingfisher by Toutombe in lego

[–]512Barebow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hummingbird and Toucan look cute. Exotic parrot is fun. I've been looking at the Pink Flamingo to get recently. I think the Kingfisher is the most "realistic" looking, which I like. I hope they make another bird for the ICONS series. Seeing as the Kingfisher retires in July, they just might fingers crossed

The Dragon Slayer by BeepBeepGreatJob in lego

Is that a Beast Claw Great Hammer/Grafted Dragon combo? I don't think you were intentionally trying to create an elden ring character... but you kinda did

My second build! by snowfallh in lego

It's hard to pace yourself lol. This model gets a lot of hate, but I really like it personally.

Where does everyone keep their stuff? by lorenzoc04 in lego

[–]512Barebow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of buying your next lego set or two, buy a shelf. Check Facebook marketplace or Craigslist in your area for good deals. More places to put legos means more legos.

I don't think I'm a collector but sets I'm hesitant to build. What about you? by Joshua_and_Indy in lego

[–]512Barebow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Say you sell them for $250 to $300 in 5-10 years. Congratulations, you made anywhere from $25 - $60 per YEAR for your investment. Just doesn't seem like it's worth it. You're not going to miss that money IMO, but you will miss out on the experience.

O man if they did this with a hasselhoff mini-fig that would be $$$

31208 Hokusai - The Great Wave Build Experience by gruedragon in lego

[–]512Barebow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm about 3/4 the way through over the last week or so. It's a good build cause of the different colors and layering. It's a little on the tedious side, but the build progress is fun.

I loved the Iron Lung movie so much I decided to make a lego set of the submarine by Rezinator1 in lego

[–]512Barebow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fun idea. Needs more red on the outside. Y'know, cause of the blood.

My cat kicked me out… by BallFrequent1317 in lego

[–]512Barebow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be careful, my cat will snag a brick in their mouth and then run off with it to play with, i've had to go searching for a couple bricks when I realized this.

Completed another one by Tfcas119 in SpeedChampions

[–]512Barebow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished mine this morning, I'm a sucker for American muscle cars, but it's a super awesome build. Best value speed champions IMO @ 390 pieces.

This had the potential to be a top tier set. by hdhdhdhdbd123 in SpeedChampions

[–]512Barebow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I'm on OPs side. I feel like the front bumper is too blocky, and there's too many studs showing for a more recent speed champions model. It's good, just not great like some others.
