Second Wave of Limited Edition Shell LEGO sets make their worldwide debut in Singapore

August 29, 2014 By Jay 4 Comments

UPDATE: Looking for information on the Shell Ferrari LEGO promotion in Malaysia? Check out this post which has all the details!

Here’s some fantastic news for Singaporean LEGO fans, the second series of promotional Shell LEGO sets go on sale at Shell Stations across the city-state. Dubbed the Shell V-Power LEGO Collection, the exclusive range of sets features four iconic Ferrari cars, a special limited edition Shell Tanker, a Finish Line podium and a Shell Station modelled after the  one at Fiorano circuit, Scuderia Ferrari’s private racetrack in Maranello, Italy.

The Shell V-Power LEGO Collection

From 29 August to 20 November 2014, fans will be able to purchase these sets at Singaporean Shell petrol stations with every S$60 purchase of Shell V-Power, Shell FuelSave fuel or Shell Diesel.

If you fill up your vehicle with V-Power, each set (except the Shell Tanker) will cost you S$5.95 but if you opt for  Shell FuelSave fuel or Shell Diesel, you’ll have to shell out  S$8.95 for each set.

The limited edition Shell Tanker set will be available from 21 – 30 November 2014 as long as you meet  the minimum S$60 spend on Shell V-Power fuel. The Shell Tanker is priced at  S$10.95.

New models will be released every two weeks. You can refer to the promotional poster below for more information on when each model becomes available.

The Shell V-Power LEGO Collection is the result of a collaboration between Ferrari, LEGO and Shell to commemorate  Shell’s 60-year technical partnership with Scuderia Ferrari. The Ferrari Models feature the smallest pull back motor ever produced by The LEGO Group, which apparently propels each vehicle more than 2 metres in a single pull.

They’re the same motors as the ones in the previous LEGO Shell Ferrari sets we got last year.

Will these sets be released outside of Singapore? I checked with Shell Singapore’s PR on whether this promotion would be extended to Malaysia, Australia or other countries but they were not able to provide any confirmation, so for the time being Singapore will be the only place to get these Shell LEGO sets. For now.

I have no doubt that this promotion will eventually roll out to Malaysia or Australia. To put things in perspective, their last promotion for the first wave of Shell LEGO sets rolled out in Singapore in August 2012, with Malaysia getting them in December 2012. Australia received the Shell Ferrari LEGO sets in March 2013.

I’d say it’s a matter of time before these sets become available on our shores, so don’t panic-buy and overpay for these sets when they inevitably get listed on eBay by enterprising Singaporeans looking to make a quick buck.

Personally, I really like this second series of Shell LEGO sets simply because it’s not just Ferrari cars but we’re also getting some brick built structures such as a Petrol Station and a Podium. The cars themselves look pretty cool as well, with the blue one being my favourite so far based on what I’ve seen in the hi-res images.

It looks like stickers will be aplenty again, even for the minifigure torsos but there are 2 printed elements (the front part of the car) that I can spot immediately, on the blue Ferrari 250 GTO and red Ferrari F12Berlinetta which is always nice to have.

I think that this the timing of this promotion is a little odd seeing as how the whole Greenpeace controversy hasn’t really died down yet. That said, launching this promotion in Asian territories where the Environment isn’t that big of a priority should be pretty safe for LEGO’s brand image.

Still, I think that LEGO could’ve waited till most people forgot about it and Greenpeace has chosen another evil polluting corporate entity to bully. As you can probably tell, I don’t really care about the whole Greenpeace campaign as I feel that it’s just taking advantage of LEGO’s surge in popularity.

It’s really just adding fuel (pun totally intended) to the fire.

Here are more details on the Shell LEGO models, their piece counts and when they’ll be available in Singapore.

Ferrari F138 (29 August – 11 September 2014)

Shell has launched its new Shell V-Power LEGO Collection, an exclusive range of buildable Ferrari collectibles made out of LEGO bricks. Available today at Shell stations across the island, the new range embodies the spirit of technological innovation and improved performance that is at the heart of Shell V-Power fuel.

Created in collaboration with Ferrari and the LEGO Group, the Shell V-Power LEGO Collection introduces six new models that promise to delight customers when they fill up at Shell. The collection includes four iconic Ferrari cars, a Finish Line and Podium with a Scuderia Ferrari Engineer LEGO Minifigure, and a Shell Station modelled after the one at Fiorano circuit, Scuderia Ferrari’s private racetrack in Maranello, with a Shell Scientist LEGO Minifigure.

“The new Shell V-Power LEGO® Collection builds on the success of the first range of collectibles launched in Singapore in 2012.  It is significant that Shell motorists in Singapore will be the first in the world to enjoy this new collection. With new models and more bricks for selected models, all still at a very affordable price, we hope that we can continue to capture the imagination of customers and motorsports fans young and old to construct their very own racing world,” said Louis Tan, General Manager of Retail Sales & Operations, Shell Singapore.

Shell has worked together with Ferrari and the LEGO® group for more than half a year to create the new cars and playsets.

Up next, here's a quick look at the @lego Captain Up next, here's a quick look at the @lego Captain Rex Helmet which comes out in March 2023!

Some really cool techniques here, especially the Jaig Eyes, but unfortunately the mismatched colour stickers just look nasty.

Happy International @LEGO Day! The 28th of Januar Happy International @LEGO Day!

The 28th of January commemorates the date where the first patent for the iconic LEGO brick was filed with the Danish Patent and Trademark Office in Denmark by then-owner Godtfred Kirk Christiansen.

Here's a photo of the patent which is on display in the history section of the @legohouse, which I got to see last year when I visited Billund!

There's tons of incredible historical artifacts, and I've also shared some other displays that commemorated this part of LEGO's history!

I think both helmets are excellent additions to the LEGO Star Wars Helmet Collection. Both Phase 1 and Phase 2 Clone Trooper helmets translate incredibly well, and there are some masterful sculpting techniques and great use of negative space to get the look just right. 

I have to say that I much prefer Commander Cody out of the two, because of the 212th's orange markings, and cool features like the visor and fin. Captain Rex, while having some cutting-edge building techniques have some really poorly colour-match stickers which distract from the otherwise great build. 

Will you be planning on picking any of these up?

Special thanks to @lego for sending these early review sets over!
