LEGO has been churning out miniature (and life-sized) plastic brick versions of the world’s most iconic cars for years. No matter what your age, receiving and building cars out of LEGO is a fun activity to do over an afternoon or even longer depending on the size and technical skill level required, so why not gift a loved one a car-related LEGO gift this Christmas.
Whether it’s for a current LEGO master builder or a new and up and coming brickmaster, there are a vast array of LEGO sets available to purchase. To help narrow down your search, here are five LEGO Christmas gift ideas for car fans of any age.
In production since 1948, the Ford F-Series pickup truck has become an icon of the industry, and now in its latest and toughest version, the Raptor, you can now recreate it in your own home with this LEGO Technic Ford F-150 Raptor set. Authentic details include the V6 engine with moving pistons, plus suspension on all wheels.
There are four opening doors, so you can get up close and admire the interior as well as the ability to open the bonnet and truck bed. Add a few of your own mods and you might be able to turn the F-150 into one of Australia’s favourite utes, the Ranger.
The model is 15 cm high, 42 cm long and 18 cm wide.
