Anyone know why the single cars are 20, but a double car pack is 50? In older SC series they are least included some props…

Thank you! Ordered!

Interesting how these launched with zero fan far, no blogs even mentioned it when listing all the new sets… The Ford set says “coming soon” on US lego.con.
-
Yeah, my original negative perceptions are changing now that we can see other angles.
-
Is it just me, or do these look more like knock-offs, not original lego… I can’t imagine these are the same speed champions designers. The smaller ones from a couple years ago look better than any of these… though I appreciate they tend to look a bit better in person usually… I’ll still buy them all in the name of being complete but I’m just not excited about any of them.

Just read the last two pages thinking the exact some thing... best kept secret in lego history...
-
I’m just surprised a set is sitting in a retailer back room with a release date months in advance, and no spy shots leaked?! I now wouldn’t be at all surprised if there is more we don’t know...
-
curious what their first formula one car will look like at this scale... and if the Fast and Furious license will be at the same scale...
-
Ugh, those wheels look too small.
-
I guess the Part count hints of what the other sets are. If it’s 8 wide for the others.

Interesting how they all have so many “extra” or higher parts count for single sets. It’s not like we’re contemplating a single odd part count set. Whats the highest part count of a really well done moc? Anywhere close to these part counts? Minus 20% possibly being for props Speed champions have always grown in complexity, not reduced. Sometimes a bit arbitrary like 3 flat 1x1 instead of a full size 1x1.

Anyone noticed how shifting the windshield up one row of bricks looks WAY better and more authentic to the dimensions? regardless, I do hope we see sets spring up as cross promotion with Forza Horizon. Microsoft put a lot of money and promotion into the speed champions DLC... But I’m a bit concerned that the Speed Champions team is only 3 people, and any interviews with them seem to intentionally avoid asking the obvious “What’s the plan for the future of the series?” But the ROI on only 3 people plus some marketing and custom parts has to be huge.

I like how the series lends itself to other suggestive themes very intentionally. Like with very little effort, or just imagination, you can do the Steve McQueen chase scene with the 60's mustang and the charger, or Fast and Furious, or the 488 GT3 clearly being Christine Neilson's championship car and pilot, both driver and car, secondary stickers and helmets for both Ferrari F1's for both Kimi and Vettel (need both sets for the team), McLaren F1 obviously being Button, and many other details that add to the richness and how close they can come to doing something without a license... The mercedes pit team manager? Doesn't get much more blatant than that ;D Oh, and the "triple crown" P1, LeFerrari, and 918 that Top Gear made notorious that every other journalist copied? Some might call these easter eggs but it shows the dedication of authenticity to the series Lego has that can't really be demonstrated in other series.
