Does anyone else dislike the speed champions sets? I feel the instructions are (somehow) too complex for even me. I've assembled:

• Architecture London
• Minecraft Minechest
• and 3/4 of the special ninjago microcities

And yet, the MCL38 defeated me.

I like most of them. I have a lot of Speed Champion sets.

Every time I look down the LEGO aisle in my local toy store I comment to whoever im with that the Icons McLaren and Williams F1 cars look so good, its a shame that they havent released more. So if this is in the works, AWESOME. Will be another one that needs an aftermarket sticker set for the "correct" sponsors (i know even IRL they were removed for some rounds, but with those sponsors seems more genuine) though, that massive white space would be awful.

I dislike most of them, I just don't think Lego can do the shapes required to do most of the cars justice, a few are good, some of them are OK but too many of them are way off. They have too many stickers too!

I have four; the McLaren F1/Solus twin pack (but I hated the latter so much I split it between the 787B I built for a friend and my kid's random piece stash), Countach, 6 stud F40 and 6 stud Camaro race car. I like the F1 and Countach but the other two have aged horribly and look like City cars from 10 years ago, but I don't even want to replace the F40 with the new one because it just doesn't look like an F40.

Personally I think the best cars Lego does are the Icons ones, the Mustang (which I regret not getting when I had the chance) was so good.

I only bought the Speed Champions F40 (which is still on my backlog) because of this alternate build. I also skipped buying the Technic 911 RSR because it looked off, even with modifications. There's only a handful of cars that have been translated well to LEGO, IMO (for official builds, at least).
