Our 2022 in a nutshell
Thank you for an amazing year!
First and foremost we want to extend a sincere Thank You to each and every one of you, our customers, fans, partners & team members for your support throughout the year.
This year we have launched more new models, shipped to more countries, packed more parcels, worked with more designers and created more new partnerships than ever before. Not to mention our team has doubled since last year!
This wouldn't have been possible without your passion, your involvement and your support.
Thank you and we look forward to exceeding all of your expectations next year!
HERE'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO
Our goal was 1 per day
WE'VE RELEASED 400+ NEW MODELS...
The vast majority were requests from our own VIP Customers. Keep those requests coming!
A 5+ YEAR ENDEAVOUR
...INCLUDING THE WORLD'S FIRST CHROME MODEL...
After 5 years of manufacturing, testing & plating we launched the world's first ever fully chromed out model and in December 2022 we've released our second, the Remote Controlled Italiana.
A BRAND NEW COLLECTION
...AND EVEN A BRAND NEW COLLECTION
Sparked by a new collaboration with 0rig0 (a space model designer) we were able to release a full Space Collection which has been featured in tens of different publications worldwide. A massive thank you to 0rig0 for your amazing designs and continuous support!
Remote Controlled AE86
THE AE86 WAS OUR MOST POPULAR RELEASE...
The Initial D AE86 was a standout in our collection with stellar reviews all around. We've just released a new version with a new popup headlight mechanism and drivetrain.
1:16 SCALE SCOOBY RALLY CAR
...THE SCOOBY WAS A CLOSE SECOND THOUGH...
It sold out twice during the year, once within 24h of making a few hundred units available. We promise we're working on bringing more by mid-March, click below to join the waitlist below and you'll be the first to find out when it's back.
1:8 SCALE R34 GT-R
...AND THE R34 WAS OUR PERSONAL FAVOURITE
We've wanted to release a 1:8 scale R34 for years and in 2022 we made our dream come true. This was by far our most popular 1:8 scale release of the year based on how many fans brought it to life in their own hands.
SUMMER CAMP HAS NEVER BEEN BETTER
WE'VE PARTNERED WITH 2 NEW SCHOOLS...
This year we've continued our work with helping schools and educational programs get access to affordable, tailor made block models to help teach engineering to young children worldwide. This is a project that continues to be close to our hearts.
A special thank you to Zach, you started it all for us!
FROM US & CANADA TO EUROPE & MORE
...AND HAVE SPONSORED NUMEROUS EVENTS WORLDWIDE
We always love sharing our models face to face with our fans at events, so we try to make it to as many as we can! This year we made many new friends through events like the Ozark Euro Rally and reached many fans through groups like Audi Club NA & more.
YOU COULD BUILD A HOUSE FROM THAT
OUR CUSTOMERS PUT TOGETHER OVER 50,000,000 BLOCKS...
If you put them all end to end it would be enough to loop around the world. Twice.
OVER ONE THOUSAND
...AND ASSEMBLED 1,216 DIFFERENT DESIGNS
We pride ourselves in having the world's largest collection of unique models and it's clear that this year we didn't disappoint.
29% OF THE WORLD
WE'VE SHIPPED MODELS TO 56 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES...
Our models have reached the hands of customers in almost 30% of the world's countries this year - almost double that of 2021. The newest addition to the list was Bulgaria in December 2022!
10X THE POPULATION OF AUSTRALIA
...OUR POSTS HAVE BEEN SEEN ON OVER 245,000,000 NEWS FEEDS...
This War Rig assembled by one of our customers was our top post of 2022 with over 100,000 likes!
