LEGO launches Build the Thrill, which is a captivating collection made in collaboration with Formula 1. The playful series reimagines fan apparel and accessories. It kicks off with the Speed Champions Ita-Bag, followed by the "Technic Backpack, Lap Cap, Starting Light Goggles, V6 Engine Block Headset, and Steering Wheel Phone Case." All of these are carefully engineered from LEGO's racing sets.
Notably, the capsule is also very interactive. The Starting Light Goggles light up when the LEGO tires are twisted on the frame. The Tehnic Backpack has rotating race car tires and the indicator lights are illuminated with a single button. The V6 Engine Block Headset has pistons that move in sync as users turn the LEGO gears.
