The Blocker and the Hauler: 1977's Signature Black-and-Gold Highway Duo
Hal Needham's 1977 action-comedy Smokey and the Bandit turned two machines into permanent fixtures of American car culture: Bo "Bandit" Darville's Starlight Black 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am running interference up front, and Cledus "Snowman" Snow's black-and-gold Kenworth W900A 18-wheeler hauling 400 cases of Coors eastbound from Texarkana. The Smokey and the Bandit 49th Anniversary Building Set unites both vehicles in their screen-accurate black-and-gold livery alongside minifigures of Bandit, Texas Sheriff Buford T. Justice, and Snowman's Basset Hound, Fred.

Designed to be explored rather than merely admired from a distance, the tractor-trailer and sports coupe incorporate articulated access points throughout. Tilting the long black-and-gold nose of the Kenworth forward reveals an internal brick-built diesel engine complete with silver manifold banks, chrome-look piping, and a blue turbocharger assembly. Behind the sleeper cab, the black refrigerated trailer carries the full-color Wild West horse-drawn stagecoach mural along its flanks and opens at the rear to hold stacked tan and reddish-brown cargo crates.
Screaming Eagle Muscle Car Proportions and Collector Display Presence
Parked beside the 18-wheeler, the 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am captures the low, wide stance of the Y82 Special Edition coupe. Its sculpted black front fascia frames recessed twin rectangular headlights in gold bezels beneath the metallic-gold screaming eagle hood graphic and shaker-style hood scoop, riding on gold snowflake wheel rims.

- Removable T-Top Roof & Cabin Seating: Lift off the smoked-clear T-top canopy and swing open the black doors to seat the Bandit minifigure inside the tan two-seat cockpit.
- Authentic Big-Rig Trim: The Kenworth W900A cab is outfitted with a vertical silver radiator grille, dual perforated vertical exhaust stacks, cylindrical side fuel tanks, five amber roof marker lights, and dual air horns.
- Standard-Stud ABS Engineering: Every brick, tile, and hinged panel is precision-molded from lead-free, BPA-free ABS plastic compatible with major building block brands.
Complete with a wood-bordered studio nameplate and a step-by-step illustrated instruction manual, this 16+ collector set delivers a rewarding tabletop build that anchors any study desk, media console, or automotive display case.
