Set Review - #71049: F1® Collectible Race Cars - Collectible (not) Minifigures

I saw these little cars coming out with all of the other F1® related sets and just brushed them off. Then I realized these were being released instead of a set of Collectible Minifigures. WHAT!?!?!?! NO!!!! How can they do this???? Well, I at least had to give them a shot. So these 12 random vehicles (with codes on the boxes if you use a scanner app, were released on 1 May 2025. Like the minifigures, they retail for $4.99 each. There are some parts that seem new or at least new to me. The main frame of the car is new and then the 1x2 tile with the piece that holds the minifigure head and helmet along with the front part of the car. Each car comes with these parts and they are all built the same way. The only differences are the colors and prints. Thankfully, there are no stickers.

Here are all 12 vehicles. I ordered a bunch to get a GWP, but only had to open up 13 boxes to get all 12. My kids helped me build. They were disappointed to not get minifigures, but they had fun with the vehicles. It took me a bit to find the names of the various cars online, but I found them and added them in pictures below to make it easier for others searching for the same material.

Overall, I’m not a racing fan and don’t like the deviation from the minifigures. I’m sure LEGO was just experimenting and also wanted some cars at a lower price point. I look forward to getting back to minifigures. If you’re an F1® fan, then by all means pick them up. If you’re not, unless you are a die hard collector, I’d pass.

Happy building!
