LEGO Fast and Furious 42111 Dom’s Dodge Charger revealed!

March 30, 2020 | 7

Time to crack open a cold bottle of Corona and drink to 42111 Dom’s Dodge Charger – the very first LEGO Fast and Furious set.

Targeted at fans of the high-octane Fast & Furious franchise, now you get to assemble Dominic Toretto’s 1970’s Dodge Charger R/T.

The 1,077-piece set is available for pre-order from 30 March 2020 (pretty much immediately), followed by a release date of 27 April 2020. The set will be priced at US$99.99 in the US and AU$179.99 in Australia.

Sadly, the set doesn’t come with a bald Dom Toretto minifigure.

See below for regional links and pricing when the product pages are up:

• LEGO 42111 Dom’s Dodge Charger [US] – US$99.99
• LEGO 42111 Dom’s Dodge Charger [AUS] – AU$179.99
• LEGO 42111 Dom’s Dodge Charger [UK] – £89.99
• LEGO 42111 Dom’s Dodge Charger [EU] – €99.99
• LEGO 42111 Dom’s Dodge Charger [CAN] – CA$139.99

I’m not a massive Technic fan, but the build looks really particularly solid, capturing the touch masculine features of the Dodge Charger particularly well.

The authentic replica of Dom’s all-time favourite car is packed with the same realistic details seen in the films. Just like the full-size version, the hood of the LEGO® Technic™ Dom’s Dodge Charger pops open to reveal the iconic V8 engine.

Fans can feel like they’re in the garage with Dom fixing up his latest project as they build moving pistons, double wishbone suspension, a wheelie bar to show off the car’s best moves and (of course) put the nitro bottles in the trunk. If things get too hot, there’s a fire extinguisher in the cockpit too.

Fans of classic American muscle cars and LEGO Techic will undoubtedly love this set and I do like the pricing which isn’t too prohibitive, but I’ll mostly pass on this one.

What do you think of Dom’s Dodge Charger? Will it find space in your LEGO garage or display shelf?
