The second installment of the LEGO Speed Champions partnership follows up the popularity of the 2018 set that included the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon and 1970 Dodge Charger R/T. Dodge and LEGO fans were able to secure that set when it hit the market in 2019.
“So, following the success of the Dodge 2018 LEGO Speed Champion building set, fans will now be able to build and show off not only the first-ever 8-inch-wide (8W) muscle car but also the first-ever Plum Crazy 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A, along with an incredibly detailed 13½-long Top Fuel Dragster,” said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge Brand Chief Executive Officer-Stellantis.
