Fast & Furious goes LEGO with Dominic Toretto’s Dodge Charger set

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

The FAST & FURIOUS franchise may include multiple films, an animated TV series, a spin-off, video-games, and an attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood, but now it has something else to add to its empire — a LEGO set. The company has unveiled a 1,077 piece LEGO Technic set which will allow fans to construct Dominic Torretto's (Vin Diesel) 1970s Dodge Charger R/T, and you can check out a few photos below!

Coming in at 15 inches long, six inches wide, and four inches high, the LEGO Technic set of Dom's Dodge Charger is packed with authentic details, including, "The opening hood reveals a model version of the iconic V8 engine. Other cool features include moving pistons, wishbone suspension, steering system and air blower. There are even nitro bottles in the trunk to bring Dom's daring high-speed chases to life. Just like the real thing! Fans aged 10 and up will love building their very own replica model of Dominic Toretto’s famous car. After building the Dodge Charger, the fun ramps up as fans role-play classic scenes from The Fast and The Furious movie, bringing the adrenaline-fueled world of street racing to life." You can pre-order this LEGO set right now for $99.99, which will ship out on April 27, 2020.

As far as the next FAST & FURIOUS film goes, the ninth installment of the Fast Saga was slated to hit theaters this May, but the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic forced Universal Pictures to push the release back to April 2, 2021, so it looks like we've still got a bit of a wait ahead of us until we get our next dose of fast cars, physics-defying stunts, and Vin Diesel grunts. Speaking of Diesel, this LEGO set really needs a Dom mini-figure.

The official synopsis for F9:

Vin Diesel’s Dom Toretto is leading a quiet life off the grid with Letty and his son, little Brian, but they know that danger always lurks just over their peaceful horizon. This time, that threat will force Dom to confront the sins of his past if he’s going to save those he loves most. His crew joins together to stop a world-shattering plot led by the most skilled assassin and high-performance driver they’ve ever encountered: a man who also happens to be Dom’s forsaken brother, Jakob (John Cena). F9 sees the return of Justin Lin as director, who helmed the third, fourth, fifth and sixth chapters of the series when it transformed into a global blockbuster. The action hurtles around the globe—from London to Tokyo, from Central America to Edinburgh, and from a secret bunker in Azerbaijan to the teeming streets of Tblisi. Along the way, old friends will be resurrected, old foes will return, history will be rewritten, and the true meaning of family will be tested like never before.

F9 will hit theaters on April 2, 2021.
