LEGO42141 Technic McLaren Formula 1 2022 Replica Race Car Model Building Kit, F1 Motor Sport Set Birthday Gift Idea for Adults, Men, Women, Him, Her, Husband, Collectible Home Decor

I have been a Lego fan since I can remember. I am now 52 - so I can afford to indulge my inner kid with extravagant kits like this. I build a lot of the knock-offs. And if any of you reading this have done the same, you know it can be a game of hit-and-miss when it comes to missing pieces, build quality, and overall design issues. I have had them all. And I have plenty of extra pieces on hand to get through any build.But, I digress...This is a great kit. I especially enjoyed the cantilever suspension aspect. McLaren had their hand in the design of this kit, which is evident in the final product. I consider myself an advanced builder - so this was a 3.5-4/10 on difficulty for me. However, that is NOT a critique. The instructions were in the classic Lego way easy to follow. Pieces fit perfectly. Remember, it is plastic, so there will be some play with the moving parts. Again, not a critique. Numbered bags make it a breeze to start and stop this build. The finished product is STUNNING! Makes an excellent display/conversation piece. Yes, it is expensive - though I have spend upwards of 200 bucks for a knock-off kit with 3500+ pieces - so the 'price per brick' is higher with Lego than the knock-offs. But that being said, those that are a fan of Lego Technic and Formula 1 this is a great value for the fun it packs. I took my time and boult it over 4 days doing one bag/step a day. I could have easily built it in a single day over a few hours.Overall 5/5 stars. I am never disappointed with Lego kits - though Lego is pricy compared to the knock-offs, I will not hesitate to purchase more from Lego. The Bugatti and the Ferrari Daytona are in my near future for sure. For younger - under 14 or so - it will provide an excellent challenge and a great STEM experience. Advanced builders will find it relatively easy. All will find it a very enjoyable building experience and be very pleased with the finished model. Get your build on!Thanks for reading.

It was a fun build, but of course it was a Lego technic set. As always there were no missing pieces, the instructions were top notch and clear. Definitely worth the price. Lego is still number one. The only one left for me to build in the Formula 1 line is the Mercedes. I know that they just introduced the Redbull set which I got right away. Sure hope they introduce more F1 team cars! I love the detail and size. Gotta fill up my hobby room😁

👍🏼

Got this for our son’s 13th birthday. He had a great time building it and would like to display it on his wall. Very detailed and at a reasonable price compared to some other F1 sets. It is a large set and looks great! Would recommend.

Fun to buildSkill requiredWonderful stress reliever

Great car as I follow F1 and am impressed with the detail.

Worth it. Wish Lego would do all the F1 teams.

Super stoked to receive this kit ,on sale too.Might be missing a few parts and instructions for bag 1 are a lil confusing. Could just be me tho. Can't wait until It's built. I'm getting all of the Technics F1 kits.
