legomyeggos Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 How come there is no section for Speed Racer in the Price Guide? And when I search Speed Racer I get no available searches... Does anyone else have the entire set? 8158, 8159, 8160, 8161 Should I be selling these now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 While I grew up being a huge Speed Racer fan and have a model of the Mach 5 in my office, the Speed Racer theme is a minor one. When Jeff has time, I'll see if he can add it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerrmando Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 It's kinda an awful theme... no offense Ed... but there are several other themes more suited towards the Brickpicker site I'd argue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Speed Racer can be considered a subtheme of Lego's Racers theme at best, but it really was a very minor theme in the end. The car builds were decent but filled with so many gaps and other design flaws. They looked fine from a distance and were play ready but didn't look so good when examined from remotely close up. Since we're on the subject, I liked the movie the sets were taken from which may be funny because I don't care for the original animated series. I have tried watching that so many times but, for the love of pete, they talk so freakin' fast all it does is give me a headache! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly I have gained a better appreciation for the series since then after looking into the history of the English dub not to mention checking out the complete series release from a few years ago. Also, scenes like this are just magic. And yes, Trixie was a cutie patootie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
