It’s the start of a brand new year! Which here at The Lego Car Blog means it’s dark at 4pm, the adverts are all for holidays, and we look back on the last year with an image of the current one, which makes no sense but we’re a decade in so we’re not changing it.

Anyway, on to what happened at TLCB in 2024!

Stats

We published almost exactly the same number of posts in 2024 as 2023, with 347 hitting the front page. These generated 16% fewer visitors however, with the site now around half its peak of over a million several years ago. That still means that hundreds of thousands of you are turning up to read our gibberish though, something to which we remain astonished.

2024’s most viewed posts were the new LEGO set reveals, with Speed Champions coming out on top of the pile. The Review Library and our new A-Z of car manufacturers (plus bikes and trucks) were next in line, along with the most viewed individual creations (‘That’ Toyota Supra, Nosing Ahead, and ‘Oh My gosh, It’s Oshkonoggin!‘, none of which were actually posted in 2024).

Likes for 2024 were down 56% year-on-year yet comments were up 18%. As these were (mostly) nice ones, it seems people are perhaps over ‘liking’ things. Good. Social media is poison.

Which is a bit of a pain, as more and more creations are appearing there only. These are often suggested to us, but to ensure our readers don’t have to create an account and hand over their souls to Meta, Musk, or the Chinese Communist Party, we only publish creations that are free-to-access. Thus if you do use socials to publicise your works and you’d like them to appear here, do consider replicating your images on a free-to-access platform such as Flickr, Eurobricks, Bricksafe, or Brickshelf – that way we can direct our readers to them without fear of a ‘Create an Account’ gateway appearing.

That said, thousands of you still joined us from Facebook, and hundreds-of-thousands from Google. Whether you found what you were looking for or found us by accident, you’re very welcome!

The USA easily remained the top visiting country  in 2024, followed by Germany, UK, and Netherlands, whilst there are just four countries on earth remaining with an all-time visitor count of one. Hello to the four people from St. Helena, Christmas Island, Cocos Islands, and Palau!

2025…

We’re here to continue publishing the best Lego vehicles the web has to offer, unless you get bored of this (or we do). Expect more cars, trucks, motorbikes, ships, and even sci-fi builds throughout 2025, and if enough of them arrive from an as-yet-un-listed manufacturer, said car maker will join those already in the A-Z, where you can find every creation to feature here categorised by the badge on the bonnet.

We’ll also continue to publish (and assess) the brand new LEGO sets due to reach stores during the year, along with brick-based vehicle news, builder interviews, and probably a few Your Mom jokes.

Thank you for taking the time to join us here at The Lego Car Blog, it’s your views and clicks that keep this site running (and enable the advertising revenue to be donated to causes more noble than this one), and we hope you’ll enjoy what we publish in 2025.
