LEGO Technic Porsche 911 RSR Race Car Model Building Kit 42096, Advanced Replica, Exclusive Collectible Set, Gift for Kids, Boys & Girls

Vary good car. Very fun to build. It has opening doors, a steering wheel that works on the car, and a slab that you can open to reveal the engine. The build time is about 8 hours . Quick tip if you think their is a missing piece check every single piece and you’ll most likely to find the missing piece. This set teaches you to persevere. The only downside is that assembling the pieces will destroy your fingers . The journey is super long but super fun. The cars design is super cool and looks super good this Lego set is the best Lego set ever!!!!!!

I've wanted this Lego set ever since it came out back in 2019. I never really had a chance to get it, especially since Lego raised the price recently from $150 to $180. During Prime day I saw a deal on it that brought it down to $126, which was an insane deal. So I immediately bought it. Now honestly since I wanted this set for so long I knew I would love it. The finished build looks amazing and looks really big for only being a retail $180 set. It has working steering, suspension, & pistons. Although the set looks amazing, the majority of what makes it look good is the stickers. A lot of stickers. I'm a pretty experienced Lego builder so these stickers weren't too bad for me to put on, but for kids or inexperienced builders it'd probably be pretty hard to put on all these stickers. I think in total there's 53 stickers in the set. The only other thing that bothered me besides the stickers was that there were literally no number bags. If you've built a bigger Lego set before, you know that each bag is numbered to make it easier to build. But for this set you literally just have to dump out all of the pieces and try to find the correct piece and it takes forever. I ended up having to sort my pieces to make the build easier on me. If the stickers aren't a problem and you're fine with the bags not being numbered I would definitely recommend this set, just not for $180. I would maybe consider it at $150 but if you can find a deal like I did, it's well worth it.

At 35, my boys are now playing with my childhood legos, so naturally ive gotten back into it again. The Saturn V was awesome and enjoyed building that. When lego came out with this Porsche RSR, one of the most amazing cars ive ever seen, I had to buy it. As you can see I did hang it in my office as art, though its taken down a ton to be played with The Good: It looks awesome and has the Porsche look. I cant believe how big it is, when you are used to the smaller lego sets as a kid, having a 3 foot rocket and large car in your office they really stand out. For $150 bucks you get a ton. I actually like the stickers. Stickers are on race cars, so it just fine. When you actually look at the car on youtube, they did a great job in designing it. The bad: Like reviews said, its slightly flimsy. The wheels rock to much, the doors are loose. The wheels could be 1/4 inch large and it could sit lower. When I say bad, its not horrible, just could have been a little bit better. The Saturn V was in bags that had labels. This did not. The frustrating: I am a patient person, but man did this have a million steps with a million small pieces. There is no way to get around this, but just be ready to doing 500 small little connectors. This is a project, not an afternoon sitting.

A beautiful set, definitely my fiancé’s favorite LEGO! The build was fun and satisfying, and the finished piece looks fantastic. We also purchased a matching frame from Amazon to display it on the wall, which really makes it stand out!

Typical LEGO, a very nice building kit. The completed model is medium in size compared to the other LEGO cars, the Lamborghini being by far the largest and the Ford GT the smallest. The build manual was clear and complete in typical LEGO fashion, added the aftermarket light kit for that final touch.

I am relatively new to the Lego family (although my older son has been building sets for years and was a big influence on me to start building)...In my youth (68 yrs. old) I would spend hours upon hours of building, painting, etc. plastic models of all kinds of things...but cars models were my favorite..believing I was still good with my hands, I tackled this very detailed, Technic set...truth be told – (I had built the VW Bug - 1,167) prior to doing this build... What a blast! it definitely brought me back to my youth...the attention to detail is remarkable...steering works, pistons go up and down, etc. it was an approximately a 21 hour build (quarantined and doing it like a puzzle - passing it and doing a small sections at a time)...the build difficulty was on a 4-5 level...I have ordered the light package (through Brick Tool) and can't wait until it comes to put a finishing touch on this build...the down side was the bags were not numbered - but I had purchased a puzzle board, so I could spread the pieces from the bags in piles, etc. I also anticipated doing a lot more big builds... Needless to say, I hooked and already on the "slippery slope" of Legos...no surprise here...I have 3 additional "big" builds on the way...

Great build, fun to do. I will say I was kinda disappointed in how the pieces were bagged...as there was no actual organization which made sorting through pieces difficult. Nonetheless, product turned out great. I will stick to Lego from now on....so many of these other companies sell defective products. Recommend anyone who loves German Cars

This build was a bit of a love/hate relationship for me. I waffled between 3 and 4 stars for a long time but I’m settled at 4. Fair warning, if LEGOs addiction to stickers on builds is a pet peeve...there are 2 full sheets of them with this kit and they are on all the vital bits of the car including all the Porsche badging. I just went with it since most race cars have decals all over them. In THIS case, it seemed authentic to the build type. First, the cons The build has over 1500 pieces and a lot of them are tiny. That isn’t the con...the con is that the bags are not numbered and they do not seem to follow any logically pattern. What this means is, you will have to open ALL of them at the beginning of the build. Yes, you read that correctly. You’ll have all of these tiny pieces that will need sorting and storing as you build. As an adult with a hobby room, it wasn’t the end of the world. As a 10 year old kid...that’s a big ask in a lot of cases! I used zip sandwich bags and little plastic cups to sort the pieces into. I recommend the resealable bags to keep tiny bits safely stored in between build sessions! The second con was the instruction guide. I would highly recommend the digital version be used on a tablet. The book was difficult to decipher at times and I had to rely on my knowledge of hundreds of previous builds to decipher exactly what the picture was trying to convey. Depth and relationships to other pieces were oddly distorted. The downloadable guide was more true to color and could be manipulated for alternate views. The Pros The build is remarkable accurate! I loved getting to build a 6 cylinder boxer engine. The models accurate depiction of the engine block and the intricate gear system that make the pistons move as you move and steer the vehicle brought out the gear head in me! It’s also a big build! The size of the completed car was a cool surprise. The lightweight frame was perfect and the front and rear detailing made the build. I loved the back wing and give LEGO huge marks for the interior details. It makes these Technic builds a cut above that the interiors that you’ll likely never see again once the roof goes on are as kitted out and accurate as the exterior body pieces. Overall, I landed at a 4 on this one. I would recommend this one to any petrol head or racing fan. My build tips would be the resealable bags for the parts and taking the time to do a proper sorting before you launch into the build. Trust me, that boring prep work will save your sanity in this one!

The info provided for this product is wrong and misleading. There is NO engine. We received a box that is already opened implying a previous purchaser may have returned this product and faced the same issue. The price is $385. Without the engine, the price is only $250. This merits a refund.

Excelente y super entretenido. Yo compre primero el Bugatti Chiron, claro a mas del doble del precio, pero ese se siente Premium, este solo es muy bueno. Si tienen el Bugatti esperen mucho menos en presentacion, calidad de embalaje y distribucion del contenido en el paquete. Con respecto al modelo el motor es funcional y la direccion tambien, pero no cuenta con caja de cambios como el Chiron. En terminos generales excelente.

Collector

Very impressive product by lego. Will treasure forever. Also special thank you to the supplier who within 24 hours turned around a request to send 1 missing piece! Fantastic service by them.
