get this set before it retires
Please, buy this set the value for money is just impossible to beat with most newer sets. I know it seems like a fairly small set but it has great play features with very smart mechanisms. The suspension linkage allows the front wheel lean steering to work while still working in itself, along with a functioning v4 engine and doors.

Was okay
Daughter really didn't enjoy the build. Had to grab some missing pieces for my spare bin to complete it. Not overly impressed but she enjoys playing with it

We're sorry you had to dive into your spare parts bin! To get those replaced, just visit LEGO.build/BricksPieces-BV and put in a request.

A good example of LEGO
This model is as interesting to built as it is to play with. Well I don't really play with it but not many models are as fun and tough at the same time as this one. Effectively structured and flexible applications!

Wow Excellent Kit
Great finished product, people are amazed at the suspension and durability of this dune buggy. Can’t think of any builder not loving this kit. This is a great value and frankly I think an underpriced gem.

Takes time, but fun to make!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super fun Lego buggy! My husband and my son set it up Easter morning. It was prettty time intensive, but it turned out very cool. My son loves it! Definitely a neat lego toy to get to try out.

It is easy to put together and fun!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’re in the process of finishing this. It has 219 pieces. I thought with it being smaller parts and so many of them, it would be more of me doing this project. I was wrong. My son loves it! The directions are easy to follow! Im grateful to have tried this product with my son. Would recommend!

Pure happiness
As a kid I loved Lego and could spend days playing and designing my own kits. Now I'm happy to involve my son into my hobby, this kit is the first one I bought him, many more to come! The assembly is captivating, and the car is extremely interesting to play with and just to observe its engine, steering and suspension in action.

Response from Staples :
We don't recommend using glue on your LEGO® bricks because it can cause them to change shape and it's way more fun to be able to take them apart and build something new!

Good set for older kids
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a harder Lego set to build - definitely more for an 8/9 yr old. Small pieces that could get lost easily. I did find the app to be helpful -great new feature from Lego

Easy to assemble
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our free Lego set finally arrived. My son was excited to put it together. It was really easy to assemble but is time consuming. The parts stay together very well so it take a good amount of force to break it while playing. It doesn’t have many different functions but it’s just fine for my son because he loves cars. Not...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Me & my sons had so much fun building this buggy, didn’t take us all night to do. We spent about 2 hours building this set, kept both my boys entertained. Something to keep your kids fingers busy and having fun at the same time!
