Racing between LEGO Stores to find GWPs and collectible CMF cars
With LEGO Star Wars May the 4th in full effect and the latest LEGO CMF now available, here’s how Brick Fanatics got on with a busy shopping day.
In case you weren’t aware, LEGO Star Wars Day 2025 has now kicked off, with multiple new sets, boosted Insiders points and rewards, in-store freebies and much more available. In addition, there are three desirable LEGO Star Wars GWPs up for grabs, all tied to specific spending thresholds.
It’s also worth noting that this year’s second LEGO CMF release has also raced into store from today, with 71049 F1 Collectible Race Cars now available for eager fans to get their hands on. The new series features 12 licensed vehicles to hunt down, with each blind box retailing for £3.49 / $4.99 / €3.99.
71049 F1 Collectible Race Cars includes 10 cars from the Formula 1 teams, RB20, Mercedes-AMG, Ferrari, McLaren, Aston Martin, Alpine, Williams, VCARB, Sauber and Haas, along with an F1 car and an F1 Academy Car.
To help steer your way through the twists and turns of finding every 71049 F1 Collectible Race Cars release, our very own Matthew has paid a visit to his local LEGO Store to try and track down a full set of vehicles using the Brick Search app. You can check out whether he was successful in the latest championship YouTube video below and discover how he got on with this year’s LEGO Star Wars GWPs.
The good news is that Brick Search can also help you locate all of the 71049 F1 Collectible Race Cars too, taking the hard work out of opening multiple mystery boxes. Just download the Brick Search app for free and scan the codes on the base of each box to find out what’s awaiting inside.
Brick Search is available for both iOS and Android devices. Brick Search Plus members get unlimited use of the minifigure box scanner to aide their hunt for the F1 Collectible Race Cars they want. A Brick Search Plus membership is £1.99 / $2.99 per month or £19.99/ $29.99 per year and a yearly membership also provides access to the Brick Search Plus newsletter and Discord server.
