Customer Reviews
One builder shared: “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.”
Another noted: “Super easy to build and looks great!”
A parent added: “Bought for my son who absolutely loved it. Great product, well worth the money.”
Not all feedback was perfect; one user said: “It looks great but it is incredibly difficult to get it to stay together. I have many Lego sets and this is the only one that I’ve had to use glue to get it to stick together.”
