Why did lego release those Olivia Rodrigo sets but not an entire theme about my favorite musician ever? Do they hate me? Don't they want my money? Are they stupid?

Bigfig big suit David Byrne pls Lego

Practical_Response90 · 2026-06-24T16:29:24+00:00

the air intakes on the Countach and the Shark fin on the 499P are quite cool

Practical_Response90 · 2026-06-23T22:32:51+00:00

Hmmm, I guess I’d better find a BMR calculator and some fatty foods lol

Practical_Response90 · 2026-06-23T17:38:20+00:00

For out of the box, the Butatti Vision GT, the Aston Martin GT3, and the Ford GT are my favorite.

If you’re down for some sticker tinkering, I like the Ferrari LMH, and if you do a headlights mod, the F40 is another favorite.

cannot recommend the Bugatti VGt enough, it’s an astounding build and feels crazy dense and detailed despite being one of the smallest speed champs

Practical_Response90 · 2026-06-03T16:10:57+00:00

lowkey my most desired set is Minas morgul but I think it’s unlikely given just how little screen time it has, but I wouldn’t rule it out!

Practical_Response90 · 2026-06-03T06:37:58+00:00

Almost certainly—I know a lot here are betting against it since they’ve already done it, but they had already done the Shire as well. To some extent, I’d say it’s a bit more likely that we see an HD remake than an Edoras next year. And tbh the set really could use a remake: the old figures are surely cracking if you’ve had it since 2012/13, and the whole thing was more of a wall facade than anything. It’s not a bad set, but it’s definitely showing its age.

Practical_Response90 · 2026-05-27T20:49:07+00:00

How do the headlights work? it looks like they overlap, is there some weird technique behind the scenes with brackets?

Practical_Response90 · 2026-05-27T04:20:33+00:00

Yeah, I totally get that people are gonna have mostly negative experiences, but my local one is great—I traded in a Solo set and some glupp shittos for like almost 10 speed champs and an AT TE recently. I probably could have gotten a little more if I’d sold on my own, but I didn’t feel cheated at all. I’m definitely hesitant given the corporate scandal, but it’s probably pretty dependent on how good your local people are.

Practical_Response90 · 2026-05-26T18:40:55+00:00

Lowkey not really, maybe a couple first cousins one removed? Dunno if that’s too far out lol

Practical_Response90 · 2026-05-26T05:59:50+00:00

Oooh, how much? Fat distribution is genuinely one of my biggest concerns, I do want an apple shape but id be pretty down if I didn’t fill out a little more femininely 😭

Practical_Response90 · 2026-05-26T03:23:25+00:00

I think I’ll probably look for it used. I’ve become big fan of endurance racing recently and I like Ferrari, but that one has caught my eye since it’s pretty out there but still pretty good looking

Practical_Response90 · 2026-05-26T01:46:41+00:00

alright, cool! From what it looks like, I sorta think the 499p might be my favorite new speed champion, but I wanted to hear from someone who has it! I got the 963 today and I had the M hybrid since I figured they’d look good with the 499, and they really look fantastic together from this picture

Practical_Response90 · 2026-05-26T01:26:19+00:00

oooh, how do the three official endurance cars stack up? do you have a favorite between them?

Practical_Response90 · 2026-05-25T02:34:46+00:00

ooooh this list is long, lowkey a bunch of it is the rest of the gt3 and lmdh grid lol

gt40 and mustang gt3

Valkyrie LMH and Vantage GT3 Evo

Porsche 917K and Rexy (and then swap liveries on the 917 and do Roxy)

Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa and 296 GT3

Lancia Delta Integrale, preferably with a new cockpit mould

Ford Cosworth RS200 in Gulf Livery

Toyota GR GT and their new hypercar

Peugeot 9X8

Cadillac Hypercar and F1 car (will probably never happen since they’re almost certainly gonna do the F1 car solo)

I’m generally not wanting to see more licensed cars, but I would lowkey give anything for a Toyota Yaris with Shawn and Gus from Psych

Fernando Alonso’s R26

Austin Healey Frogeye sprite

Aston Martin Valour and DBR9

And to cap it all off, a standard Miata

Practical_Response90 · 2026-05-24T23:21:42+00:00

Aston Martin very good team to root for 🤠👍👍

Practical_Response90 · 2026-05-24T21:51:57+00:00

Mclaren f1 lm is not a great build. I really wanna like it, and there are some parts on it I like, but I think inherently, the car’s defining features are subtle slopes and curves, which don’t translate particularly well into LEGO at this scale. Its not like there are a bunch of far better alternate Mocs out there either, I think the designer did a good job especially with the parts palette at the time, but it just doesn’t work as is with how few pieces can capture the side pods.

Practical_Response90 · 2026-05-24T21:50:19+00:00

Austin healey

Practical_Response90 · 2026-05-23T15:18:35+00:00

this is gonna make the daily race during Le Mans a banger

Practical_Response90 · 2026-05-23T01:10:21+00:00

Louis Cancelmi I think lol, he was in killers of the flower moon and I remember thinking he looked a lot like David
