Lego has been absolutely killing it lately, seemingly adding a new and outstanding vehicle to its repertoire of rides every other week. Just a week ago, we were introduced to the #51 AF Corse Ferrari 488 GTE, joining the toymaker’s roster of GT cars of various makes and sizes. This week’s reveal, though, is a different beast entirely: a Rubicon. And it’s not even that expensive! (For a Lego kit, anyway.)

Indeed, the Wrangler retails for $49, which makes it a far cheaper gift than that 488, priced at $169. Unfortunately, neither of these new Technic kits will arrive before Christmas. They are slated to begin shipping January 1, per the , so they’ll qualify for the belated present window.

To me, this Wrangler is the ideal Lego set to give because it isn’t that pricey, isn’t extremely complex at 665 pieces and looks pretty accurate, which of course is aided by the Wrangler’s classic proportions.

Oh, and it’s also adorable. I mean, just look at this press shot:

Those tiny girders! The winch! The axles even articulate — what’s not to love? The little Wrangler can be steered from the back via a dial and in true Lego fashion, even the seats fold down.

I have to admit, it’s hard not to be jealous of kids these days. currently consists of the Fiat 500, Ferrari F8 Tributo, Jaguar’s Formula E racecar, Porsche 911 RSR, Dom Toretto’s Charger from Fast & Furious, new Land Rover Defender, Ferrari F40 Competizione and Audi Sport Quattro S1, among many other vehicles I haven’t mentioned.

Not all of them necessarily translate well to Lego form, but who cares? The fact so many options exist today would have broken my 9-year-old brain. And we haven’t even discussed the vast community of builders out there sharing their own creations, like , whose fills me with childlike glee.

So, to you and the little car enthusiasts in your life, happy building. This is certainly the season for it.

The De Tomaso P72 Will Have A Supercharged, 700-HP American Heart
You can’t talk about De Tomaso without talking about Ford and, specifically, American Ford V8s. The domineering De Tomaso Pantera had them, as did the lovely Mangusta before it. So it’s only appropriate the stunningly retro also follows suit with eight cylinders from Ford’s NASCAR partner. Back when we...

The Fiat Ritmo Was The Best-Looking Cheap Hatchback Of The Late 1970s. Fight Me
The mid-to-late 1970's, and into the 1980's, were the glory days of cheap, boxy hatchbacks from all over the world. While hatchbacks had existed before, you could argue that (Rabbit for us fried-donutburger consumers) really set the design template for this era, spawning many very similar-looking little useful cars....

Should We Get Our Hopes Up About This Nissan 370Z Test Mule At The Nürburgring?
