The 2 upside down 3x3s on the bottom are terrible
The 2 upside down 3 X 3s can't stay on to save their life, whenever u try to put them back on everything else falls off, and blue tack doesn't even work to keep them on because other stuff is still super loose

Very clever design
I haven't built much Lego since being an expert builder as a child. However, I'm very impressed with this McLaren F1 car as it looks remarkably like the original, whilst using quite a few normal pieces, just in clever ways. I didn't have any problems with parts falling off or the floor dragging along, so I'm not sure what has happened with others. The only other rece...

My grandson wanted this for Valentine's Day
My 12 year old grandson loves to build the formula 1 cars. He has done many and some above his age level. He meticulously reads each instruction and builds his cars. He was so excited to pick his Valentine's Day gift and immediately asked for a new F1 Car. Love buying these for him. He now has his younger brother (5yrs) excited about building Legos. Perfect gift fo...

Poor Build
This is the third model I have made from the F1 series. By far the worse one I have made. Hard to build without parts falling off. I know these are meant more as models than toys, but there is no way you could ever play with this one. I didn't even finish building it.

Hard
My son who is 9 took about 1.5 hrs to build this on Christmas day. ( he was watching tv)
I had to help him finish it then he played with it....then it broke, I had to break it apart to build it again oh my gosh how hard was this ( I've just built the lego avengers tower) towards the end when I put a few pieces on half of it broke.
Not good

Go Papaya!
I had the first Speed Champion McLaren F1 car 76919 and so I didn't get this one when it first came out. I also have the Merc, Red Bull, Ferrari, and Haas. The grocery store had this one on sale, so I picked it up.

Another amazing Lego F1 Build
I started out by buying one of the Speed Champions Lego F1 cars and ended up slowly collecting them all.
The build once again was unique enough to make the experience fun. The negative on this one is the clever use of some upside down building techniques makes this car easily the most fragile car of all the sets. It will roll but you will hear the Lego studs that face...

Great design!
Great design, reflects a real life McLaren racing car. Brilliant that they give you spare parts. It took 1hr30m to complete. Colour scheme and branding is on point

Fun build for the Children!
This was a fun build for my children. They enjoyed building it and helping each other out with the instructions. Easy to follow and well made. The car looks very smart once built and works well!

Well worth it
Instructions very easy to follow. I like the bags are numbered and you are. Told when in the process to open each bag. . Peices go together easily. Very happy with this product.

Disappointed
This has to be the worst Lego set we've ever built, well, this and the others in the series. Poor design, very flimsy and very expensive for what it is.
