Now, if you want a good layout - and that statement goes beyong lego/bricks etc into model making in general - make sure you have everything in the same scale "key" or at least not too far off that "scale key"! I promise, you will be amazed! this odd little set is way better scaled and more true to minifig than anything that was offered to us from TLG in the last decades! Sounds ridiculous, but its the truth. The car wheels are not higher than the figs hip - just go outside, stand next to a car and check the wheel size next to yourself. If you look at this picture you may think "funny, its waaaay too small" - and now imagine you are the guy standing next to it, would it really be too small? No, its lower in height than the minifig and the overall sizing is reasonable for a vintage car. But they went with that anyway for the sake of scale! Today they sacrifice scale for the play factor, which is understandable from a Toy manufacturer. None at all? Yes, cause if you scale everything after a minifig height of 1,65 to 1,80 m, you can rest assured that ANYTHING in your layout will work together BUT you may only fit in one fig (if you are less strikt) or like i said, none at all.įun fact: If you look at old lego sets from the 70ies to 90ies - note how the cars are SMALL? even so small they dont fit figs in the 70ies? Back in a day the Creators of those sets knew that if you build a car for a minifigure, it would be about impossible to fit the minifigure in. Yes, a minifig is unproportionate and squeezing them into a 6 wide is certainly possible, hell i even get them inside a 5 wide, but the result is far from "amazing" and its better to either try to just fit one figure or none at all if you want a working layout. No, they dont fit in and a Speed Champion shouldnt really be near a modular, i can only agree to that fact with SollX. To perhaps answer all questions since i've spent years trying to figure it out:
