Description

Two rivals in one box

The title lists two names, and that is the point: the set is built around a face-off between two race cars from the 2008 Speed Racer film. Having both vehicles in one box makes it a play set rather than a pure display model. At 367 pieces it is mid-sized, and the cars stay compact enough to push across a table and invent a small race of your own.

Colours with racing stripes

Black and red set the tone, yellow adds the highlights, and light bluish grey supplies the technical details and underframe. That fits the loud, candy-coloured look of the film, which was deliberately styled to resemble a comic. Strong blocks of colour also help during the build, as sub-assemblies are easy to tell apart. On a shelf the mix of dark and signal colours stands out immediately, even from across the room.

Four figures, many part types

Four minifigures provide crews and opponents, so more than a plain vehicle duel is possible. The 94 different part types show how many specialist elements went in: race-car shapes, printed or sticker surfaces and small details that simpler sets lack. That makes the build more varied, although it also asks for a little more attention than a simple tub of standard bricks would, especially when sorting the small pieces. In return you end up with two vehicles that each have their own character and plenty of detail.

Parts list and collector view

The set belongs to a film range that stayed in the catalogue only briefly, which is why collectors tend to look for it. The parts list on this page helps you check a second-hand copy for completeness. If you would rather reuse the bricks, the “What can I build?” tool shows which other models your existing stock can make. The red and yellow elements in particular work well for building your own vehicles.
