Celebrate the Summer of Slug with this very punk Galidor racer

Over on youtube, R.R. Slugger dishes out searing hot takes on the state of LEGO playsets, focused on  nostalgia for the brand’s more experimental period before Star Wars and Harry Potter took over. For this “Summer of Slug,” the creator challenged fans to create  Time Drifters – vehicles inspired by the unfairly maligned Time Cruisers/Twisters line that mashed up LEGO themes that ’90s kids will remember. Builder @urdronthedancefloor is killing it with this groovy racer that uses a Galidor torso for a chassis. I love the kit-bash aesthetics, drawing on old and new parts with punk energy that captures the no-rules spirit of play that makes LEGO special. #timedrifters #summerofslug2025
