If you’ve been looking for a way to share your Formula 1 enthusiasm with your kids while keeping them entertained with quality building toys, LEGO has created exactly what you need. The LEGO F1 collectible race cars pack brings the excitement of the racing circuit straight to your living room and right now, Amazon is offering this set at a record low price during Prime Big Deal Days: Down from $30 to just $20, this mystery box collection has climbed into the top 10 best-selling LEGO sets on the site.
Twelve Teams, Virtually Limitless Possibilities
The allure of this set is its mystery box structure: Six randomly picked mini F1 race cars out of a total of 12 varying models are received, which makes for a different combination with each purchase. The available roster consists of RB20, Mercedes-AMG, Ferrari, McLaren, Aston Martin, Alpine, Williams, VCARB, Sauber, Haas, a generic F1, and an F1 Academy car. Each model is incredibly small (being a few inches in length) which makes them ideal for little hands to hold on to and operate for creative race scenarios. The randomness provides for a surprise that children dearly enjoy and creates a fuss around the unboxing alone as children see which teams ended up in their individual collection.
LEGO did not skimp on details here: Each car comes decorated in genuine team colors with actual team logos emblazoned directly onto the bodywork so that young supporters will have the opportunity to recognize their favored teams at a glance. A team helmet occupying each cockpit adds another note of realism which F1-fixated youngsters will love.
The wheels spin smoothly, too, which makes these from passive display pieces into dynamic racing toys. Children can push them around the floor, prepare racing grids on the table top, or devise elaborate race scenarios pitting disparate teams against one another for the championship crown. At a total of 174 pieces divided between six cars, individual assemblies, which take between 10-15 minutes, remain small enough for little ones but still encounter enough challenge to be satisfying.
They’re compact enough that you can toss a few into a purse for restaurant waits, road trips, or flights when you’d like something to amuse kids without wasting valuable luggage space. They’re ideal birthday party favors when you’re hosting a racing-themed party, too. Instead of gaudy-cheap pieces of plastic that snap off after a few hours, guests depart with actual LEGO constructions they’ll be able to use repeatedly and treasure.
At $20 for a six-car pack, you’re out about $3.33 per model, which is extremely cheap considering each one is a complete buildable set complete with actual F1 branding. Because there are 12 distinct cars overall, acquiring two 6-packs provides a good likelihood of assembling a majority or all of the released models. As built, the little racers look great lining a shelf in your child’s bedroom, on a starting grid layout, or assembled into team alliances.
