“The LEGO Group is one of the world’s top toy companies, and is loved by
children and adults around the globe,” said Joe Hinrichs, Ford
president, The Americas. “Many of us grew up playing with LEGO, so this
is a dream project for all of us – including our engineers.”

The 185-piece Mustang kit includes a time board and race driver. The
664-piece F-150 Raptor set includes a well-equipped garage, trailer, a

infinite play possibilities. With these new sets, kids can play out
their ultimate car fantasies. They are able to role play and become the
LEGO mini-figure, stepping into the greatest cars on earth.”

The Denmark-based LEGO team worked closely with Ford licensing and
design teams throughout development and product design, collaborating on
every detail down to the packaging and marketing materials.
