• Lego Technic Ferrari SF-24 F1 Car revealed along with Icons, Duplo, City, Speed Champions, Collectibles sets

  In Lifestyle / By Gerard Lye / 26 November 2024 5:26 pm / 3 comments

  

  Lego has worked with Scuderia Ferrari to release a new Technic set aimed at Formula 1 fans. Officially called the Lego Technic Ferrari SF-24 F1 Car, set #42207 is priced at RM999.90 and will be available in Malaysia from March 1, 2025.

  Consisting of 1,361 pieces, the F1 model car comes with plenty of functional elements, including an opening DRS (adjustable spoiler) as well as a V6 engine with a spinning MGU-H. That’s not all, as there are Pirelli-printed slick tyres, front and rear suspension systems, steering and a two-pseed gearbox that “offers an in-depth view of the mechanics.”

  Intended for fans over 18 years of age, the 1:8 scale F1 car measures 61 cm long, 24 cm wide and 13 cm high when fully built. With Christmas coming up, this would make a great gift for the Scuderia Ferrari fan in your life.

  

  

  

  If the price and complexity of the Technic Ferrari SF-24 F1 Car are a little too much, Lego also announced a separate line-up of sets as part of a multi-year strategic partnership with Formula 1 that covers its Icons, Duplo, City, Speed Champions and Collectibles product categories.

• Lego and Formula 1 strike new partnership – toy versions of teams starting 2025, including Duplo sets

  In Cars, Formula 1, International News, Lifestyle, Motorsports / By Jonathan Lee / 19 September 2024 7:28 pm / 1 comment

  

  Lego has announced it is partnering up with Formula 1 on a multi-year basis, bringing licenced products to market starting next year. The deal is a natural progression for the Danish toymaker, which already has teams like McLaren and Mercedes-AMG Petronas on its books.

  The company said it will introduce a line of new products under the Formula 1 Collection banner that will recreate F1 teams in brick form, although it’s unclear if all ten teams will be replicated. Lego’s current F1 products can be found in the Speed Champions, Technic and Icons lines, but this latest expansion will even include Duplo sets for pre-school children, as well as further items for kids of all ages.

  And that’s not all – Lego will also be present trackside with fan zone activation programmes at Grands Prix throughout next season, along with co-branded content on the company’s social media platforms. The collaboration makes sense for both parties, given that F1 has apparently seen a surge of popularity amongst younger fans.

  

  

  Lego already has partnerships with the McLaren and Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 teams

  According to Lego, more than four million children aged eight to 12 now follow the sport across Europe and the US, while 40% of F1’s followers on Instagram are below 25 years old.

  “At the Lego Group, we have a proud history of having recreated many F1 cars in Lego brick form in the past, and we believe this new partnership, through Lego play and building, will help bring the spectacle of this sport even closer to all fans,” said Lego chief product and marketing officer Julia Goldin. “It will enable them to celebrate their passion of the sport in more immersive and exciting ways and will see the power of Lego creativity and imagination further enhance the thrill of F1.

  Formula 1 chief commercial officer Emily Prazer added: “The Lego brick has ignited a spark of creativity and passion for building in millions of children and adults around the globe. Through this partnership, fans will be able to recreate and reimagine the world of Formula 1, brick by brick, delving deeper into the intricacies of the mechanics and technology behind the sport through play.”

• McLaren teams up with Lego to create a fully drivable P1 – watch Lando Norris drive it around Silverstone

  In Cars, International News, McLaren / By Gerard Lye / 13 September 2024 11:28 am / 1 comment

  

  McLaren has once again teamed up with Lego for a new creation based on the P1 but unlike the Technic model that is in 1:8 scale, both companies worked together to recreate a one-of-a-kind, fully drivable version of the hybrid hypercar.

  If that isn’t enough, the life-size recreation was brought to the iconic Silverstone Circuit in England for a “shakedown” on the 5.891-km track. This marks the first time a Lego build has been created to not only drive around corners but also complete an entire lap of a race track. Another first is having a Lego build be driven by a F1 driver, as McLaren driver Lando Norris was the person tasked with taking the Lego P1 out for a spin.

  Given the scale of the ambitious project, you can expect some fascinating facts and figures. Where the 1:8 Technic model (product number 42172) features 3,893 pieces, its life-size equivalent required a total of over 342,817 pieces.

  In an official release, it was revealed that 393 different types of Lego Technic elements were used, including 11 that were specifically moulded for this model. Fully constructed, the model measures 4,980 mm long, 2,101 mm wide, 1,133 mm high and weighs 1,220 kg. For context, the actual P1 is smaller and heavier.

  

  

  

  It took a team of 23 specialists from McLaren and Lego to create the model, which required 8,344 hours spent on development and construction to get everything ready. What’s more impressive is the model’s propulsion system, which features an electric motor consisting of Lego Technic Function batteries and an electric car battery.

  These power a Lego Technic engine that is made up of eight motor packs, each consisting of 96 Lego Power function motors for a total of 768 Lego motors. The eight motor packs are a nod to the V8 used in the original P1.

  “Having worked on the original P1 programme for McLaren, it’s amazing to see so many of the elements from the original McLaren P1 brought to life so realistically by the Lego Technic team for the full-scale model. The car was an icon of its time. I hope that through this collaboration with the Lego Group, we are able to inspire the next generation of designers and engineers to push the boundaries of automotive innovation, said Ben Gulliver, McLaren’s test and development director.

  “This project marks the latest in a long list of collaborations between the Lego Group and McLaren, bringing together McLaren engineers and the Lego model production team from conception all the way to the final build. McLaren’s automotive and engineering expertise has been invaluable in helping us produce a model as authentic to the original McLaren P1 as possible, allowing us to turn a dream into a reality,” commented Lukáš Horák, senior project manager of installations at Lego Group.

• Lego Technic 42172 McLaren P1 revealed – new set pays tribute to iconic hybrid hypercar; 3,893 pieces

  In Lifestyle / By Gerard Lye / 11 July 2024 2:34 pm / 0 comment

  

  McLaren has teamed up with Lego yet again to create a new Technic set, this time paying tribute to the historic P1 hybrid hypercar. First making its debut in 2013, the P1 is part of the “holy trinity of hybrid hypercars” released that year, with the others being the LaFerrari and Porsche 918.

  The Lego Technic P1 is part of the Ultimate Car Concept Series, with each 1:8 scale car consisting of 3,893 parts. Features include a seven-speed gearbox with two shifter drums, suspension, a V8 piston engine, an adjustable rear wing as well as opening dihedral doors.

  Additionally, each car comes with a unique serial number which unlocks special behind-the-scenes content. “It’s amazing to see so many of the elements from the original P1 brought to life by the Lego team for the Lego Technic McLaren P1. I hope this collaboration inspires the next generation of designers and engineers to push the boundaries of automotive innovation,” said Tobias Sühlmann chief design officer at McLaren Automotive.

  

  

  “From the exterior with aerodynamic shapes to the interior and V8 piston engine – the real McLaren P1 is an incredible car. We wanted to capture these details in the best way possible with our Lego Technic model and we did not want to compromise in any way,” commented Kasper Rene Hansen, designer at the Lego Group.

  “Therefore, we worked on multiple variations of the car to test different designs. We also faced a huge challenge with the iconic butterfly doors because they needed a new mechanism to stay open. It was a great experience to recreate the McLaren P1 and I’m hoping all supercar enthusiasts out there are ready to explore the details and intricacies of the real McLaren P1 in Lego Technic form,” he added.

  Pricing for the Lego Technic P1 is 449.99 euros/389.99 pounds/USD449.99 (around RM2.1k to RM2.35k) and the set will be available for purchase from Lego stores from August 1, 2024.

• Lego Technic 42159 Yamaha MT-10 SP drops August 1

  In Lifestyle / By Mohan K Ramanujam / 12 July 2023 4:07 pm / 1 comment

  

  Since we don’t officially get the Yamaha MT-10 in Malaysia, the Lego Technic Yamaha MT-10 SP might be the next best thing, priced at USD 239.99 (RM1,116).

  Entering public sale on August 1, this Technic set contains 1,478 pieces and joins the Lego catalogue alongside the BMW Motorrad M1000RR released in 2021.

  Measuring some 440 mm long by 150 mm wide and standing 250 mm tall, the MT-10 SP mimics a real-life MT-10 as closely as possible. This includes a replica of Yamaha’s inline four-cylinder Crossplane engine along with working three-speed transmission and chain final drive.

  Gearbox elements include a shift drum, a shift fork, a gear shift ring and a ratchet drum. Suspension operation for the front and rear is also replicated, although the Technic model eschews the real world’s electronic semi-active suspension.

  

  

  

  The model also includes functional steering via inputs to the handlebar, a side stand and a display stand. For added interaction, the Lego AR app allows you to experience your Technic model in a different way.

  Online orders for the Lego Technic Yamaha MT-10 SP opens August 1.

  Peugeot uses the 9X8 Hybrid to race in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race. It is equipped with a 680 horsepower 2.6 litre twin turbocharged V6 engine with a 272 horsepower electric motor integrated into a 7-speed sequential gearbox. The motor is powered by a 900V battery system.

  Lego and Peugeot says it took a whole year of collaborative work to translate the physical car into a Lego Technic model. The 1:10 scale gives it a measurement of 50cm long, 22cm wide and 13cm tall.

• Lego 10317 Classic Defender 90 – 2,336 piece set in launching on April 4 to keep 42110 Defender company

  In Cars, Land Rover, Lifestyle / By Paul Tan / 17 March 2023 4:06 pm / 2 comments

  

  Lego will be launching a new Land Rover set on April 4, 2023 based on the Defender 90. It’s part of the Lego Icons range, and will consist of 2,336 pieces.

  We’ve already seen a Defender from Lego back in 2020, but that was the Lego Technic 42110 based on the latest version of the Defender. This Lego 10317 is based on the classic Defender 90.

  The Lego 10317 set can build two different versions of the classic Defender 90 – one that looks pretty much stock, and another more hardcore offroader version with a winch, a snorkel, and a roof rack. Once built, the Classic Defender 90 model will have a functional steering and a working suspension.

  The Classic Defender 90 set will cost US$239.99 according to Lego’s website, and VIP sales will start a few days earlier on April 1, 2023.

  In Malaysia, we have seen the Lego 101317 Defender going for between RM909 to RM1,139.90 from various sellers on Shopee.

  LINK: Lego 101317 Defender – from RM909

  If you want to pick up the 42110 set based on the modern Defender, it’s been around since 2020 so you can do that too.

• Lego Technic Ford GT set coming in March 2023

  In Lifestyle / By Paul Tan / 6 January 2023 7:10 pm / 1 comment

  

  Lego has announced a new Lego Technic #42154 set based on a Ford GT, with a release date scheduled for March 2023. It will have a retail price of US$119.99. Timely, considering the 1,350 unit production run for the Ford GT has just ended in December 2022.

  It’s a 1,466 piece 1/12 scale set, so it’s not as complicated as the 1/8 scale Ferrari Daytona SP3 which has 3,778 pieces, the 1/8 scale Lamborghini Sian with 3,696 pieces, or the 1/8 scale Bugatti Chiron which has 3,599 pieces. Instead, it’s probably closer to the Ford F150 Raptor set which has 1,379 pieces.

  The Lego Technic Ford GT will feature rear wheel drive, a V6 engine that can move, independent four wheel suspension, front axle steering, a moving spoiler, as well as doors and a hood that can open.

  Of course, it’s finished in classic Ford GT colours – blue with white stripes. Are you looking forward to ordering and building one of these in March this year?

• R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R from 2 Fast 2 Furious joins Lego Speed Champions – available from Jan 2023

  In Cars, International News, Nissan / By Gerard Lye / 8 December 2022 10:11 am / 0 comment

  

  Lego has unveiled the next addition to its Speed Champions series, with Lego 76917 being the R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R driven by Paul Walker in the 2003 film 2 Fast 2 Furious.

  Set to be released on January 3 next year, the 319-piece kit is a faithful recreation of the memorable movie car featuring squared-off headlamps, quad circle taillights, a large rear wing, six-spoke wheels and blue-striped livery that fans of the franchise will immediately recognise.

  Details like the Toyo Tires sticker placed above the movie-correct Florida licence plate are also a nice touch, although it is missing stickers of a great many aftermarket companies (Nitrous Express and K&N, anyone?).

  There is, however, a nitrous oxide bottle where the passenger seat should be in the right-hand drive car. Also included in the kit is a minifigure of Brian O’Connor dressed in white T-shirt and grey trousers, which is what he wore in the opening race of the movie.

  Interested in one? You can look for the Lego 76917 on Shopee.

• Lego Optimus Prime can transform into a truck – pre-orders open for 1,508 piece set arriving in June 2022

  In Lifestyle / By Paul Tan / 17 May 2022 11:02 am / 0 comment

  

  

  If you grew up in the 80s, I guarantee that this latest set 10302 from the Lego Creator Expert series will excite you! We can now buy a Lego Optimus Prime in his original G1 form (none of that Michael Bay nonsense) and the best part is it can actually transform!

  Yes, this 2-in-1 set doesn’t require you to break it apart and rebuild it again. It wouldn’t be a Transformers set if it couldn’t transform now, would it?

  In the original G1 form, the ‘classic’ Optimus Prime was based on a red and blue Freightliner FL86 cab over semi truck. This Lego set builds a 13.5 inch tall version of the robot form for you to display and think back of the good old days. In truck mode, Optimus Prime is 10.5 inches long.

  It comes with a bunch of accessories as well, like an ion blaster gun, a battle axe, a jetpack, the Autobot Matrix of leadership and an energon cube.

  The US market RRP is US$169.99, and we can already see some Lego sellers taking pre-orders on Shopee. If you want to order one, head to one of the Shopee links below.

  If you’re hankering for a scale replica of your Vespa scooter, Lego has you covered with the 2022 Lego Vespa 125, celebrating Vespa’s 75th anniversary. Comprising of 1,106 pieces, the Lego Vespa 125 comes in a fetching shade of paster blue.

  Targeted towards the adults more than the kids, the Lego Vespa 125 comes with all the lifestyle accessories expected including a bouquet of flowers. In a first for Leg, the tyres of the Lego Vespa 125 are white sidewall while the pastel blue hue is rarely seen in typical Lego builds.

  Other details include a spare wheel, removable engine hood, handlebar with steering wheel and kickstand. True to life, the Lego Vespa 125 comes with a front wheel mounted on one side, 2 seats, a brick-built engine underneath, and working steering.

  

  

  

  Complementing the build is the Vespa logo, a classic 1960s Italian license plate, and helmet. The completed Lego Vespa 125 model measures 22 cm by 35 cm by 12 cm and is priced at 89.99 pounds sterling (RM505.39)

  Meanwhile, for the Milan Fashion Week, a 1:1 scale Lego Vespa 125 will be unveiled, showcasing the talents of LEGO Certified Professional Riccardo Zangelmi. Zangelmi was previously responsible for the 1:1 scale Lego replica of the Ducati Panigale V4R.
