I have all of these models and I will say that this one is the most visible and perhaps the most functional. These Technic supercars have evolved over the last 10 years, and Lego is just getting better and better with these 1:8 kits. Two more weeks and I will own one. Hats off to Lego for a great customer experience in restoring some expired rewards points (like within 15 minutes of EMAILING them) because I only buy these sets every two years. And points expire. It's nice that they will help me lessen the pain of a $450 set. Great video and thank you. Only watched bits and pieces not to spoil the experience.
I have them all and being a real mechanic I appreciate the challenge these cars are. They are not for everyone. It takes a good mind and sharp eyes to build one of these. Mis one part and you will have a major mess. I had to rd Kildare the Bug my son did as he missed one part for the front drive.
These sets do punish you if you miss something. Backtracking gets really messy. I have to remind myself to slow down a lot. Even then, there were two times I missed something small and had to go back.
I don’t get the issue people seem to have with TLG doing the P1 instead of a more current model of McLaren. The P1 is cool. Frankly I’d love it if they’d do more older models….like the classic F1 with the centre seat. That would’ve been amazing. But they seem to be trying to keep the technic models (least until the P1) as up to date as possible. Strange.
I just saw in another review that when you push the car the wheels squeak. Not sure if that person made abuilding error or if that is an issue with the set.
I'll be sure to do this in an upcoming video. I was going to bring all these upstairs and it would save me a trip. Sorry for the disappointment on this
I want to buy some Perspex boxes and I'm not sure about the size (it's for the Lamborghini sian), in Lego it says that it would be around 60* 25* 17, can u tell me if it's right? Thanks🙌🏾
I didn't like it until now but I will add this to the collection. I was upset in 2021 I could of got the Porsche but didn't realize that it was very rare and it was 500 euro wish I got that one to have a complete set.
Hey Alex maybe some troubleshooting help for me lol...this was my first technic model finished it but my pistons don't move when the car/tires more and shifting is a little rough.. are the pistons supposed to move with the wheels?
Pistons should move if it is in gear. I also had this fear, but it turns out I was in a very high gear. Shift it to the lower gears and you should see them move. If not, the axle may be disconnected at the crankshaft. That's my guess.
I saw this one on the Lego store just yesterday. I love McLaren p1 especially because of gta 5 but I really enjoy the way it looks. I was leaning towards getting that nasa Artemis launch Lego but as soon as I saw this one I wasn’t sure anymore
I remember when I was 14 and I was obsessed with the McLaren F1 supercar. I would look at pictures of it every day. If you are a huge fan and obsessed with the P1, then yeah, you'll be happy with the purchase. But I would also say try and hold off for a bit to see if it goes on a discount. It might happen and would save you a lot of money.
The building experience is going to be a few hours and then it just becomes a very expensive mantle piece… that kinda money is hard to come by your age and you should use it for something you’ll get a lot more use out of it
For future reviews of technic vehicles it would be a lot better if you focus more on the functionality and what it represents, instead of the esthetics, which you did.
I would rather do away with the "looks" and concentrate on the functions. I think LEGO makes poor scale models. I sort of wish they would get away from trying to model real vehicles and do more fictional supercars or other interesting fictional vehicles.
I have 3 of these super cars, Porshe 911, Lamborghini Sian, & the Ferrari. I won’t be buying anymore. I managed to build the 3 I have but they are just to technical and I don’t enjoy building these. Besides that I don’t have the room for anymore of these big cars. 😆 Great Review Alex like always!! Your the best on RU-vid 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
