The LEGO 8678 set is part of the LEGO Cars theme, specifically inspired by the Disney Pixar Cars 2 movie. This set is called “Ultimate Build Francesco” and is centered around the character Francesco Bernoulli, one of Lightning McQueens main racing competitors in the film. Released in 2011, the set contains 196 pieces, allowing fans and collectors to construct a large, detailed model of Francesco, complete with his iconic red, white, and green Italian racing colors and sponsorship decals.
Aimed at children ages 7-12, the Ultimate Build Francesco model features a sleek design with lots of attention to detail, capturing the essence of the characters appearance in Cars 2. It is designed for play and display, offering both playability for younger fans and collectibility for those who appreciate the art of LEGO construction. The set does not include any minifigures, as it is part of the larger-scale buildable vehicle series. It was well-received for its faithful recreation of the character and provided an engaging building experience.
