Check out the Lego Technic Aston Valkyrie

Just in time for Fathers Day, too...

---

We like Lego Technic on PH, as a 473-page forum thread (and counting!) plus favourable reaction to recent kits like the Peugeot 9X8 and Ferrari SP3 Daytona can attest to. We’d expect this one to absolutely hit the spot as well: a Lego Technic Valkyrie. 

Aston Martin’s most extreme creation ever can now be brick built by Lego enthusiasts, the latest Technic box comprising 700 pieces to recreate the 1,140hp V12 hypercar. Those parts include moving pistons, a working diff, plus functional steering and gullwing doors; like all Technic kits, the Valkyrie is rather more than just a static model. As the press release suggests, it’s a ‘celebration of Aston Martin’s impressive feat of aerodynamics and engineering.’

In Podium Green with the Lime Green accents, there’ll be no mistaking the Valkyrie for anything else. There’s more to the Lego Technic Aston than just the satisfaction of building it, too, as a collaboration between Lego and the Gameloft Asphalt Legends Unite gaming platform means the Lego version can be raced in the game. Plus the actual Valkyrie, too, but where’s the fun in that? 

Marek Reichmann said that the Lego-Aston tie-up “celebrates the impossible engineering and visionary thinking that brought Valkyrie to life.” Lego Technic’s Marketing Manager Alexandra Dragomir, said:“With Lego Technic and Aston Martin joining forces to create the new Lego Technic Aston Martin Valkyrie, we're taking fast-paced play to a whole new level. This latest set celebrates Valkyrie as the pinnacle of engineering, and this is emphasised through the moving functionality of LEGO Technic. We’re thrilled to bring Aston Martin’s hypercar to life in brick form, as well as an in-game experience on Gameloft Asphalt Legends Unite gaming platform.” The Valkyrie is available to order now on Lego’s website, priced from £54.99. Kids over nine can help out, too.

Who buys these, really..?

[SR]

Doesn’t really look very good and being an old frat Lego should be interchangeable.

[macron]

Frankly that looks st.

[disco666]

Hilarious!
It looks absolutely nothing like it.
Is it April 1st again already?

[WPA]

I am a Lego fan but that looks awful

[Puddenchucker]

Gosh.
That looks so realistic I can barely tell it's a model.

Do you mean Lego in general?

[The Pistonsdead]

Challenging to the eye I feel..

[Robertb]

Did Lego actually see a picture when they built this, or did someone from AM describe the Valkyrie to them over the phone?

[S600BSB]

Ridiculous.

[BigChiefmuffinAgain]

I guess to make it as realistic as possible, Lego wanted to make it virtually unsellable....

[Steve12NG]

I can’t stop laughing.

They’re kidding, right?
Please tell me they’re kidding.

Same here, not their finest hour!
I've the 911 GT3 which isn't a bad effort considering the limitations of using bricks. What really let's down all these Technic sets is the lack of any windscreen, makes them look like banger racers.

[brillomaster]

Problem is, a mere 700 pieces isn't much to get any good details. A set of this prominence should be 3000-4000 pieces to do it justice.

The ferrari daytona sp3 was 3778 pieces, the peugeot 9X8 was 1700ish pieces.

Not their best effort...

My brother has the 911 GT3, he worked out that it was possible to build it in R/H drive.

I bought him a Lego fire engine to keep it company

I think Lego doesnt lend itself to swoopy vehicles with complex styling, especially with the smaller sets, mostly just look odd, wrong or gawky.

Its much better at boxier vehicles, trucks and stuff, this just looks rubbish really.

[Fetchez la vache]

That's just silly. Presumably they have no-one internally to say "Nope. That just doesn't work"

[Triumph Man]

I'll probably be unpopular for saying this but I really don't like the lego technic kits that try to be something (i.e. this, the Lego Defender, the Ferrari kit etc)

Agree with you. .

I have no clue how sets like this get through as it looks dreadful and that’s me being polite.

Who signed that chuffing thing off?
