Toothless and Shelby Cobra lead July 2025 New Releases, available now! [News]

July’s LEGO releases are a calm in the storm between a busy June and what’s shaping up to be an absolutely stacked August. We’ve reviewed all five sets and our pick of the month is the Shelby Cobra, which guest reviewer Firas Abu-Jabber praised for the innovative techniques and highly satisfying build process. If car’s don’t get your motor running, Toothless might not be the take on the Night Fury that we wanted, but it’s a very cute set with broad appeal. To sweeten the deal this month, LEGO’s latest GWP – Friendly Snails – is one of the most delightful free sets we’ve seen all year.

This car was meant to be built

There are not that many iconic cars that look great in LEGO bright light yellow color. Obviously, Fiat 500 is one of them, but can you think of another? Firas Abu-Jaber knows one, and it’s the legendary Shelby Cobra. And guess what? This one in the picture below is built with just pieces available in the Creator Expert Fiat 500 set!

AC Shelby Cobra

This is definitely one of the sweetest alternative builds I’ve ever seen. Not only does the shape looks great and recognizable, but it also looks like Firas didn’t have to compromise when working on the exterior. Sure, a couple of points would look better with a different choice of pieces, but the proportions are spot-on.

“I couldn’t find the sports car of my dreams, so I built it myself.”

George Panteleon (ZetoVince) invokes the spirit of Ferdinand Porsche for his recently revised Porsche 930. Being a community-minded guy, George has also thoughtfully posted instructions so that you…yes you…can make one for yourself. Stop dreamin’ and start drivin’, constant viewer.

Get them now though, because you never know when MOCpages will have another blackout.

Porsche 930 Revised

Maybe it’s the moonlight, or the champagne talking, but I think we can squeeze in one more for the motorheads out there.

Cobra!

Ok, so maybe this creation has nothing to do with the villains from GI Joe, but I still want to shout “Cobra!” when I see it.

This fantastic rendition of an automotive classic was posted on Flickr by _lichtblau_. He’s really captured the look of the racing icon. In fact, when I saw the thumbnail image on Flickr, I thought this was a die cast model. I never build copies of other people’s models, but I’m seriously tempted to do so with this.

Ford Shelby Cobra concept car

Speaking of minifig-scale vehicles, Sterling Knight built this LEGO version of the Shelby Cobra concept car from Ford.

The intake on the hood and the grill on the front include some interesting techniques, and the interior is also fully detailed.
