Very Disappointed
I was initially disappointed as I am a Lego vip and did not receive the McLaren sign that should have been included at the time of purchase as a special offer. It was an online purchase as I could not get to a store at the time due to recently having a hip replacement and I bought it to aid in my recovery. After receiving the product I started the build and only got to ...

Wheels
You see how everyone in the ‘fan moments’ only show the driver side. It’s because the passenger side wheels stick out far too much. Fix that. It’s a sports car not a monster truck

Response from Staples :
Thank you so much for your review! It would be frustrating to have a set that isn't resembling the sports car the way it's meant to! If you would like to rebuild your LEGO® Technic™ McLaren P1™ we'd suggest double checking your build as there may be a piece just a little off from where it should be and make sure that all the pieces are pressed tightly together to make sure the wheels line up. Please reach out at LEGO.build/Service-BV for our brick-helpers get your sports car ready for show!

The Best 1:8 Car So Far...
A thoroughly enjoyable build but suffers from the same problem that I have encountered with all recent builds - They all suffer from an unnecessary proliferation of brightly coloured or contrasting grey parts (Both LBG & Dark Grey). Most of these parts are hidden so why are they even used? One area where they are not is just under the exhaust - Why is that Dark grey are...

Best build yet.
I have built all the super hypercars. The McLaren has been the most enjoyable to build. The smaller bag
sizes is the best yet. Thank you Kasper for a great design!

Fine model, but 6/7 speeds worked
The first gear was a cracking sound once I pushed the car when the wheels roll, 6 of the gears worked perfectly and smoothly on hybrid mode, but the 1st gear makes a creaking sound when I push or pull it. Maybe we recommend this set if it is a beatiful set and also play functions worked well.

Perfectly splendid
I would choose this experience again without hesitation. The building process was thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding. However, I did notice that certain elements—such as the door—lacked the desired level of sturdiness. That said, I truly appreciated every moment of the build. It’s just the minor details and final touches that could use some refinement. Overall, I’m very...

Beautiful build
The complexity and design was better than the previous super cars. The best part was NO STICKERS! I’m hoping the next supercar will be a purple to complete the color spectrum!

great set
With a 16-hour build, it was definitely worth the money. Since this is a larger set, I had to purchase a few other Technic sets before getting this one. However, after building the two 1:8 bikes, Ducati and BMW, I decided to get this set and was very happy with my purchase. I made way fewer mistakes than I thought I would, to be honest, so overall, it was a fun build.

McLaren P1 Review
Overall a very good set. A few pros and cons. Pros: #1 Door hinge mechanism is very cool. Big upgrade from 1/8 Chiron and Sian. #2 Rear wing lift system. I much prefer this compared to the "key" that is needed on other 1/8 scale cars. Cons #1: missing a small piece; I had a spare from other sets that worked, so it's not the end of the world, but it seems to be a common ...

Incredible only way to describe this kit
It's incredible to go through each step as you build the Mclaren P1 - from the engineering to aesthetics this kit has it all. At times it was challenging but kept me engaged throughout the whole build. love that it had printed on logos (Never been a fan of stickers).
One downside was in the first box I was short one piece which was needed to attach the exhaust, but as...

Perfect
These super cars are expensive but you get what you pay for. top tier building experience, great display pieces, and really nice features such as the gearbox and doors. Definitely by favorite looking of the 3 1/8 cars still for sale.
