This article is about the game. For the cards, see List of Legends of Chima Cards.

Speedorz are Legends of Chima sets released in 2013, and are apparently used in tournaments or battles that the characters in Chima participate in. In some sets, a spinner was included to use in the game. The objective of the game is to either knock the weapon out of the other character's hand, or knock the other character off their spinner. Trading cards are also used when playing to give one's character an advantage in battle. The sets vary in size: the smaller sets, of which there are currently seven, generally consist of one modified Speedor, some cards, a few weapons, some chi, and some obstacles or challenges (such as boulders to knock down or "flying" targets to hit), while larger sets, of which there are currently three, generally consist of two Speedorz that may or may not be modified; a greater number of cards, weapons, and chi; and larger obstacles, challenges, or background features.

How to Play with the Speedorz

A manual demonstrating how to play with the Speedorz.

Each Speedorz consists of a minimum of three items: a frame decorated in the style of the Speedor's rider, a wheel, and a ripcord. A person wishing to play with the Speedor holds the Speedor in one hand and the ripcord in the other. Then they insert the ripcord in a space in between the wheel and the frame and soon afterwards pull it out as hard as they can, causing the wheel to spin. They then let go of the Speedor, which proceeds to travel speedily forwards. Often, the object of the game being played will involve challenges including having the Speedor hit a certain target to have an orb of chi or another object fall down or having it dodge a variety of obstacles. Sets such as 70115 Ultimate Tournament would have it appear that there is some aspect of the game involving two Speedorz battling, but further information on this aspect of the game is yet to be released.

In the Legends of Chima story line, Speedorz are among the vehicles used by the characters to battle with one another.

Speedorz

The sets below all contain a minifigure, a slightly-modified Speedor with rip cord, five trading cards, two weapons, six pieces of chi, and some sort of obstacle or challenge. Each Speedor one character card and four battle cards.

Starter Sets

70113 Starter Set Chi Tournament is the only known starter set to date, and it contains Longtooth, Wakz, two slightly-modified Speedorz with one rip cord each, ten trading cards, four weapons, and twelve pieces of chi. It also consists of a variety of obstacles and challenges, such as two ramps, a tower from which a blue ball must be knocked down using the Speedorz and the ramps, and some spike "pylons".

Battle Arenas

70115 Ultimate Tournament is the only known battle arena set to date, and it contains Laval, Cragger, two slightly-modified Speedorz with one rip cord each, four weapons, and twelve pieces of chi. It also consists of a variety of obstacles and challenges, such as a ramp, a statue from which a blue ball must be knocked down from using the ramp and the Speedorz, some flame "pylons", and a gate decorated to look like a lion. Hitting a target suspended from the gate drops down another blue orb.

Other sets with Speedorz

Only one of these sets, 70011 Eagle's Castle, is known of so far. The set includes TBA Eagle Queen, Worriz, Lennox, two slightly-modified Speedorz with one rip cord each, five trading cards, eight weapons, and thirteen pieces of chi. In the set, the two Speedorz launch off of ramps at a grey column, on top of which is a piece of chi. An rod connecting the column and the main portion of the set, the "Eagle's Castle", suggest that the tipping of the pillar has some effect on the Castle, such as causing it to collapse. However, the exact details of this feature are not yet known.
