Sonic's Racing Car: Speed Star Lightning (LEGO 77117)

About this set

This is LEGO 77117, Sonic's Race Car: Speed Star Lightning, from the LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog line and boxed under the LEGO Builder label. At 126 pieces and a 2/5 difficulty, it is a small, low-barrier build. The finished model is a blue race car shape, with blue, black, red, white and yellow parts doing the work; the red wheels are the most recognizable detail. A Tails minifigure and three gold rings round out the scene. Build the chassis and wheel assemblies first, then add the blue bodywork on top, and leave the minifigure and ring placement for last; the part count is low enough to finish in one sitting. The main fiddly spots are keeping the small symmetric pieces around the nose and wheel arches lined up, and seating the gold rings on their attachment points, so check the instructions before pressing parts down. It suits Sonic fans, anyone after a compact race car display piece, and younger or newer builders.
