BrickZoneHub launches display frame for LEGO Technic McLaren P1 – price, availability and verdict
Prices in this article may have changed. Today's prices →
Your wallet called. It wants to discuss a wall‑mounted frame that promises to turn your McLaren P1 into a glowing centerpiece. BrickZoneHub has just rolled out a dedicated display frame for the Technic ultimate car, and the first thing you’ll notice is the price tag: £139.99 for the LED version, £99.99 for the plain one. That’s about as much as a month‑long Netflix binge for a family of four.
The frame measures a solid 50 × 80 cm, crafted from black anodised aluminium with a printed acrylic backboard. A USB‑powered LED strip hugs the perimeter, delivering a cool white wash that makes the car’s orange gradient backplate pop. The LED strip is controllable via a remote – you can dim it, switch it on or off, and even set it to flash in a handful of patterns. The flashing modes are probably more novelty than necessity, but the option is there for those who love a bit of drama.
Installation isn’t trivial. Two metal hooks sit just ahead of the front wheels, locking the car in place. The frame is heavy once the car is mounted, so you’ll need the supplied wall fixings and a sturdy hanging plate. BrickZoneHub warns that a power cable will trail behind the frame unless you hide it behind the wall, which could look a little untidy in a tidy LEGO gallery.
Photographing the unit is a challenge – the glossy surface reflects everything, and the sheer size doesn’t fit on a typical tabletop. Still, the overall consensus is that the build quality is solid and the visual impact is impressive, especially for collectors who want to showcase a single car rather than a cluttered shelf.
Comments from the community echo the sentiment: “Looks sick with the LEDs on, but that price is a hefty wall‑art upgrade,” writes one fan. Another points out that a DIY LED strip could be assembled for a fraction of the cost, but admits the professional finish may justify the expense for die‑hard fans.
In short, the frame is a niche accessory aimed at serious Technic collectors. It’s not a casual purchase, and it’s not yet stocked in Indian brick‑shops. Until it lands locally, you’ll have to import it or wait for a possible discount.
At an estimated import price of ₹— (price not disclosed), check MyBrickHouse for availability. Toycra will likely list it when it arrives — code ABHINAV12 takes 12% off full-price sets at Toycra, minimum order ₹500. Expect a 4–6 week lag from global launch. If this were officially sold in India, it would cost roughly the same as 18 months of Netflix Premium. On that bombshell, it's time to say goodbye. I'll see you on the next one. Bubyee.
Verdict: IMPORT ONLY. Not in Indian stores — grey market or wait.
