HomerJSimpson Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Wait a minute - this website http://www.2ttoys.nl/contents/nl/d227_Lego_Speed_Champions.html lists them as Ideas Top Gear sets but I don't think there was an Ideas campaign for any of these sets specifically?! A lot of people say that these are top gear, but the set list never said they were. And the set list doesn't sound like the sets are top gear. Even though I would love T.G. sets, the set list DOES MOT match for a top gear theme. Quote
Bob C Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 The website clearly mentions "Top Gear" several times. Quote

I said that the set list posted here never SAID top gear in them, and they didn't seem like that list would be top gear sets. Quote
Sato Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 The website clearly mentions "Top Gear" several times. They took a bunch of logo's and stuck them on all the product entry's, They all say Lego Ideas but the set-numbers aren't Ideas set-numbers. There just following worldwide speculation and know nothing more then we do. They're unable to give a date on when they can deliver the Mini Cooper MK7 and Fairground Mixer, Which means there cut off from Lego and can't order those D2C sets from Lego anymore. (Lego has cut off a lot of dutch web-shop from access to Direct 2 Customer sets.) Basically they combined what the know from the retailer catalog and the rumors that go around all the forums in order to get more people to there web-shop. Quote

Anyway I did not really trust the website very much. Hopefully we get pictures soon. Quote

SoupOrFishOil Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Hm, so the Super Car things must be Top Gear. Thanks, legomilk! Quote
Commissioner Gordon Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 what is this ideas or actual sets that are coming out? Quote
CM4Sci Posted September 13, 2014 Author Posted September 13, 2014 Hey legomilk, we've already got threads for everything this year, sorry! But I know you've been reliable in the past, can you confirm that this is actually Top Gear and not 'Speed Champions?' -Sci Quote
Rick Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 The information seems to come from Spielwaren Werst. I see no mention there of the "Top Gear" brand with these sets. I'm merging this with the "Super Champions" thread in the Special Themes forum for now. Quote
CM4Sci Posted September 14, 2014 Author Posted September 14, 2014 Oddly enough, during today's massive prelim leak, I did not find any of these sets. I tried 'Super Champions' 'Speed Champions' 'Top Gear' and even some of the names. I'm not having any luck finding them. -Sci Quote

Colossus Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Thanks for trying, though. However, I don't think my mind could handle any more reveals today. I also gotta figure out how I'm gonna be able to afford all this Lego. Construction sets, Super Heroes, Ultra Agents, Top Gear, a new modular...2015 is gonna be a good year! Quote
Bob C Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Hmm...it's strange that there are no pictures anywhere of these sets, even on the shopping websites. Quote
Robert8 Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 When are these scheduled to be released? Quote
HomerJSimpson Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Hmm...it's strange that there are no pictures anywhere of these sets, even on the shopping websites. Maybe it's a summer theme? Quote
adotnamedstud Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Or an NYCC announcement? Bionicle will be announced on Friday this week and no other theme has enough hype. Leaving the NYCC announcement to a Doctor Who theme/Ideas set OR Top Gear! This is pure speculation but I don't see anything other than Superhero sets being announced but we haven't seen the prelims of Super Car/Champions/Top Gear. Just my two cents. Wait until October Quote
adotnamedstud Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Did everyone just forget about this theme? Quote
XAxles Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Did everyone just forget about this theme? Not me.And I think these models will be built the way Peter Blackert does his cars, only smoother... and possibly new wheels. Quote
just2good Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Brick Shop has this logo on their site if you click on a set from this theme. Pretty much confirms the name is Speed Champions: Quote
adotnamedstud Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Nooooo, I was really hoping for Top Gear Quote
Leewan Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Nooooo, I was really hoping for Top Gear What does it change ? Whether it's Top Gear or Speed Champions, the sets will be the same. Anyways, I hope we'll soon see pictures of the cars. Quote
just2good Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Nooooo, I was really hoping for Top Gear I think there will be an app with Top Gear branded with the sets. Quote
Bob C Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Nooooo, I was really hoping for Top Gear Why? There's no difference. Top Gear would just be a logo on the box, nothing else. Actually, I would prefer not to have a Top Gear line as it would be more expensive than the simply automaker-licensed theme. Quote
