Frequently Asked Questions

Bricks & Octane is an independent fan site about LEGO cars, supercars and motorsports — a place to discover official LEGO racing sets, standout fan builds, and guides for building your own. We are enthusiasts, not the LEGO Group.

No. Bricks & Octane is an independent, unofficial fan site and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the LEGO Group. LEGO is a trademark of the LEGO Group, which does not sponsor, authorise or endorse this site.

No. Browsing Bricks & Octane is free. Some outbound links to shops or building-instruction sites may be affiliate links, which are always clearly marked and open in a new tab.

We cover the full range of LEGO car and racing themes — from LEGO Technic supercars and Speed Champions race cars to City vehicles and licensed motorsport models. Each entry links out to the official set reference so you can check parts, price history and availability.

LEGO Technic supercars are larger, function-heavy models built with beams, gears and working steering or suspension, aimed at older builders. Speed Champions cars are smaller minifigure-scale race cars with simpler builds and licensed liveries. We tag every model so you can filter by theme.

We deep-link every set out to its reference page on Brickset and its marketplace listing on BrickLink, where you can see the release year, retirement status and current pricing. We never rehost that data — always check the source for the latest.

A MOC (My Own Creation) is an original model designed by a fan rather than sold as an official LEGO set. Bricks & Octane showcases standout LEGO car MOCs and links out to the creator's own page and building instructions — we never rehost their images or files.

Instructions belong to the builder, so we always deep-link out to where the creator publishes them — most often Rebrickable. Follow the source link on any MOC to reach the creator's official page, where you can view, buy or download their instructions directly.

We're building out community submissions. In the meantime, keep your original photos and instructions on your own hosting or a site like Rebrickable and we can link out to them — we credit and deep-link to creators rather than rehosting their work.

Yes. Licensed LEGO Technic and Speed Champions sets recreate real-world supercars and race cars, including liveries from well-known motorsport marques. We note the real-world car behind each licensed model so you can follow its story.

For display, larger LEGO Technic flagship supercars make a statement, while Speed Champions cars are great for building a compact grid of liveries. Our guides compare size, part count and price so you can pick what fits your shelf and budget.

You need to be 13 or older to create an account. Before you sign up we ask which age group you're in — 18 or older, 13 to 17, or under 13 — and an under-13 answer stops the sign-up, with nothing about the attempt kept. Browsing doesn't require an account or an age. If a visitor tells us they are under 13, or that they are 13 to 17, we switch off analytics, ads and personalisation for that visit, and anything a 13-to-17 member submits is reviewed before it appears.

We store only the age group you pick (never a birth date) and your privacy choices, plus usage analytics only if you press Accept on the cookie bar. You can change or withdraw consent at any time from the Cookie preferences link in the footer, and use our privacy request form to access, export or delete your data.

Use the search box at the top of any page (or on our search page). Search is typo-tolerant, so a near-miss spelling of a set or theme will still surface the right results.

Under LEGO Fair Play we always deep-link out to the original source — a creator's page, a set reference or a shop — rather than rehosting it. Those links open in a new tab so you don't lose your place on Bricks & Octane.
