New range just been announced via the Lego Facebook page.

No prices yet however they look pretty good at first glance. They have a Porsche, McLaren road & F1 car as well as a couple of Ferraris.

All in all another decent set to collect & another battering for the credit card!!

Also on Twitter today. I hope Spring means Feb/Mar not April!

There's a link to the Lego 2015 catalogue on the Non-Technic Lego thread.

I picked up the City Great Vehicles range racing car for my son today for £8 in Tesco but we're both looking forward to the Speed Champions cars. Given the higher pricing of the licensed ranges, I reckon they'll be close to £20 each

More info here: http://lego.gizmodo.com/here-are-all-the-new-lego-...

Looks like Speed Champions sets will be released in April. The German-language catalogue they refer to has pricing in Euros.

Individual cars are EU14.99 and come with driver plus accessory (kerbs/trophy/race lights) with the GT2 kit at EU49.99, the McLaren pitstop set at EU34.99 and the Ferrari F1 kit (car, race transporter and mini figs) at EU99.99.

Happy days - who will be the first to own the big three in Lego - cheaper than the guy that got the La Ferrari, 918 and P1 for real...

2016 sets available March, apparently.
The classic red 917 is best IMO, but part of the most expensive set... Need to release a Gulf Blue one as a standalone.

Yep! That 919 / 917K set will go nicely with my 911GT set, too.

I brought my son (6) a few of these and I want them for myself to go on my Lego shelf. Nice size, fair enough detail to be identified and pretty cool. However my attempts of bribing him with different lego are not working. I may have to start buying them again. They are pretty good for a relatively low price.

My local Tesco Extra had the 918, LaF, and P1 discounted to £10 recently. There are bargains to be had on what are now last years models

Now in stock at Smyths. The big pit stop set is nice but looks to be expensive. The Mustangs looks nice and the 'Vet is nice close up that in the catalogue.

The Mustang looks better without the decals.

Which is why I have a pair! One with decals & one without.
