Wow, what a set! It must be quite the engineering challenge to get this to all fit together nicely. And then there's the functions! Thanks for the video!
Wow, I can't help but notice the blue pins throughout the build now that you pointed it out. They do a great job of hiding that in the promotion pictures. Vedy sneaky Lego. Still an amazing build. Great video too!
Not sure if someone else has commented on it or not, but your lower panels for the passenger door are incorrect. One of them is flipped the wrong orientation, they should be a smooth panel when finished. Your driver door is correct. You can really spot the discrepancy at 11:50 in the video. I also noticed that your pins for the door hinge are not fully seated, at least on the drivers side. This doesn't affect function, but I found it was a bit smoother experience once the pins were fully seated. Great review!
Gen Xer here too. I had countach goals too. Sideswipe was my favorite transformer. The Tyco 9.6v Lambo countach was a nice little rc as well. Seeing a white Countach in the wolf of wallstreet made me smile.
I like the bugatti, the color scheme, the w16 engine, the lights, the front, the special key for the spoiler makes it cooler in my opinion, and the interior is insane
At first I was always a huge fan of the Bugatti. But as a fan of Lamborghini I would love to have one of these especially in that color, I love that green!
@@alexnunes That is the reason why i am holding off to buy Sian right now. I am ok with the price even though it is expensive but for what it's worth that Sian is not worth 500CAD right now, unless they fix the problem with color issue. Then i would happily buy it.
Alex, excellent review as always. I was excited to see this. I just decided that I’m going to collect these three cars and just managed to get my hands on the Porsche on eBay. Got a great deal on it. I look forward to collecting the other two in the not too distant future. Hope you and your family are doing well in these difficult times.
What, do you mean 42039? That was smaller. In fact, that set is slightly smaller than the roughly 1:10 Porsche 911 RSR (42096) so I would say that the 42039 is roughly 1:10.5, if not 1:11 Edit; those numbers with Colons are to mention scales, not specific time points in the video. I wish there was a way to prevent it from doing that...
i feel the lego designers are taking on this constructive criticism as there has been a steady progression of improvements from the porsche right up to the Ferrari 488
I never thought about that so I looked at the official images. They are definitely there, but they seem to have a greenish hue to them as to minimize the brightness. Yeah, that's not cool.
My dad is of the exact generation that had the countach poster you were talking about, we found the poster in my grandma's attic about 13 or so years ago.
I have the Sian the whole build went OK apart from I must of put a pin in where it should not of gone as my wing won't go up so need to pull apart the side and check it bit it looks great will also do a few mods sometime soon.
Have the Lambo myself. Great build, and a wonderful challange for those who love the thrill of the build. At the price you pay for it though, you should get a few choices on its color.
I would love for Lego to go back to the formula one style cars. But the supercars of today are so well engendered and will definitely be here to stay with the evolved functions and accuracy I can't see any reason to not keep this same quality and high bar going. Haven't gotten any of the big three but I'm definitely interested in the land rover, I think that would be a great entry level technic set. If I had to rank the supercars it would be: 1. The Lamborghini Sian love the colour and features a striking model and the build techniques are interesting the angles and intricate details are a treat. 2. The Bugatti Chiron beautiful colour and design and the overall shaping of the model is extremely well done but lack of suspension and needing the key to activate features is a no. 3. The Porsche the first and set the standard but the features are outdated by better design. Nostalgia wants me to put it higher but I'm being fair. However I would like to get a system style creator expert car first more specifically the Mustang cheaper and I've been holding out on it for a while soon I'll get into technic but not right now.
@@dsdf_fdp1858 I know it looks really good the only gripe I have is the lack of engine detail and the wheels should be no more treaded minor things really and it's big I hope we get even more especially from this season of F1
@@dsdf_fdp1858 Yeah, I hope so too but you're exactly right if it did have the detail of the Sian it would have been way too expensive it's a nice middle ground but I'd like just a bit more bank for my buck
Nice looking ride and great color choice. And yes, how could I forget the Countach. Classic car! Did you buy a case of Mountain Dew just for this review? Haha just kiddin' MD would make a great sponsor though!
I bought the silver champion back when it came out, and ever since i have just struggled to find anywhere to practically display it. They're just too big for any normal cabinet. I love the models but I just can't justify having them due to the sheer size. Things like the F150 Raptor are the perfect size for me
I have a question my sons god father brought the lambo for my son on Christmas and it still in the box cause I’m afraid lol how long it will take.. can u tell me how long will it take
unfortunately, they are all VW group vehicles. which leads me to assume that they have an exclusive marketing deal with VW to build 1:8 scale. i hope i’m wrong, because it would be nice to see a MacLaren or a Ferrari, or even a Japanese badge like Acura or Toyota.
LaFerrari with an electrical engine next to the petrol one form the Lamborghini. Interesting technic would that be to compare. Or an Enzo would be even more epic.
@@alexnunes it's not. I have both the Chiron and the Defender and they're not the same scale. I do however have a 25 year old 8880 supercar that I think is also 1:8, but is not modelled after an existing car.
