You’ve probably heard of the video game Asphalt Legends Unite. If you haven’t and you’re a car nut, then buddy, you might want to fix that blind spot—because the game just swerved into the real world. No, you won’t be drifting Lambos through your neighborhood, but you can build three of its fan-favorite rides in glorious, shelf-friendly LEGO form (yes, these cars exist in real life too—sadly, your garage probably doesn’t have them either).
LEGO has just announced a collaboration we did not see coming. The team-up with Gameloft’s Asphalt Legends Unite has produced three new Technic supercar sets that you can build with your hands and race with your thumbs. Each comes with a code to unlock the same car in-game, so you can show off virtually and physically.
The lineup starts with the Aston Martin Valkyrie (42208), a 707-piece set priced at US$73.99. It’s got steering via a top-mounted knob, working gullwing doors, a V12 with moving pistons, and that slick, wind tunnel-tested vibe. Available June 1, both in-store and in-game, with an Asphalt event running from June 18 through July 2.
Joining it are two heavy-hitters: the Ferrari FXX K (42212) and Lamborghini Revuelto (42214), both available August 1, though you can already pre-order. The FXX K (US$73.99, 897 pieces) flaunts butterfly doors, a V12 engine, and a very display-worthy 29 cm (11 in) length. The Lamborghini (US$202.99, 1135 pieces) adds glow-in-the-dark headlight accents and works with the LEGO CONTROL+ app for remote steering and real-time cockpit views.
In case anyone’s doing the math at home (or just squinting at the boxes), these models are probably non-scale. We did some back-of-the-napkin calculations and, yep, they’re all doing their own thing. The Revuelto, the biggest of the three sets, is roughly 1:12. Meanwhile, Valkyrie is around 1:15, and the FXX K is about 1:16. It’s like a garage designed by chaos. Would’ve been nice if they all lined up at 1:10—or, wild idea, if LEGO just picked a scale and stuck with it. Just saying… I mean it would mean collecting, well, more tidily. That’s just the OCD in me acting up, so don’t mind me.
I’m not even an Asphalt Legends fan, but I’d take that fiery red FXX K over a real car any day. At least this one doesn’t need insurance and heck lot more affordable. I may pick up the Lamborghini while at it. Just kidding, cos my wallet told me no.
