One of the best models i built
on September 29, 2018
Posted by: Bassebus
Ok, obviously the most stuff about this model is great.
Two drawbacks:
1) Stickers. With this pricepoint, all parts should be printed. It’s nearly inpossible to attach the stickers 100% aligned and for someone with my OCD it messes up the build.

2) The doors only have 1 attach-point and no ”lock” mechanism to keep them aligned when ”closed”. Really really bad.
With 1+2 fixed, it would be a 5-star rating.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Incredible from start to finish
on November 17, 2021
Posted by: Vardata J
If anyone from Lego is reading this, I just want to say that this is the best building experience I've had from a Lego set. The podcasts and unique coffee table style manuals elevated the building experience, and the packaging is nothing short of amazing. Finally, the finished Bugatti model is proof that the technic system has no limits and is phenomenal, from the gearbox and drivetrain, to the unique aesthetic of the technic parts. I am extremely excited for what future models lego releases, but in the meantime I will try to get the Sian next. Thank you!

Awesome build

One of the most satisfyingly challenging builds I've done. The whole experience, from the moment you open the box till you put the last piece in place, is immense. Enjoy.

Surprise in every bag
on July 7, 2018
Posted by: M1850Blackhawk
This is so well designed and sculpted it looks undoubtedly like a Chiron. At this size and price that is important.
The technical details on the engine and transmission are, in one word, elegant. What was more enjoyable is that in each "bag" of the 13 there was one surprise, one smile-worthy ah-ha moment.
The only three issues I have with the entire experience are: 1) the printing on the back sides of the boxes makes a scrambled image of the Chiron's rear, which is an egregious packaging design detail that shouldn't have left the factory, a real missed opportunity for a wow factor. 2) The front end of the model feels very loose, very unsecured relative to the solidity of the rear. 3) 2nd gear clicks when running the model on a treadmill at low speed (<2mph), though all the rest do run smoothly, including reverse.
Overall, if this size model fits one's budget, it is a must-build.

It's awesome to hear you've enjoyed your Bugatti! It definitely shouldn't be clicking, though. If it's making noise while in motion, it's likely that something's a little off in the build, causing two pieces to clack together. I'd recommend double-checking that all the gears are in just the right spot, and that each one has enough room to smoothly turn.

Nice as a collector item, but a poor toy
on December 28, 2018
Posted by: Guillaume
My son has been building Lego Technic since the age of 6. He's now almost 12, really good and enjoy building, modifying and playing with his Technic's.
The Bugatti is an amazing collector experience. The package is beautiful and he really enjoyed is building experience.
The problems come when you use this toy, as a toy. Parts are coming off easily, mechanism are not working properly, moving parts are really tight (suspension not coming up, trunk really hard to open, etc) and make the playing experience really deceiving.
You can feel is has been produced as collector piece and not as a "standard" Lego Technic with high standards and everything coming perfectly together...

Thanks for your review. I’m sorry to hear that you've had a frustrating experience with your LEGO® set.
From what you’ve described, it sounds a little rebuilding might be in order. You’ll want to make sure that each part is in the exact position shown in the instructions and that everything’s pressed together tightly (except the gears, which need some extra room to turn). You should have much better results!

Cool but....
on September 10, 2020
Posted by: Spinach
This set had 9 missing pieces!a huge dissatisfaction. I wish you would try harder to get all the pieces in! Luckily I owned the pieces that were missing and added hem on, but still it’s not fair to make ppl use there own legos on a new set.
After finally finishing it looks really cool just like the real car I’d just say it could have been a little better

Cool Car
on January 10, 2022
Posted by: Benjamin
Looks just like the real thing. I was already amazed when I first opened the box, it had a mural of the Bugatti Chiron printed on the boxes. The build experience was very fun, and I listened to the Bugatti podcast while building it. The gearbox and 16 piston engine are both really cool, and the moving spoiler really worked. Gears 2-3 sometimes made a clicking sound, but otherwise it worked fine. The front was also a bit flimsy. After building it, I took an extra step and added a lighting kit that I got online.

Amazing, but lego should make more 1:12 scale cars
on May 25, 2025
Posted by: Jaxon
Verified Purchase:No
My friend got this set and it is awsome, but i think lego should make a 1:12 scale chiron, divo, veyron, centodieci, and or, etc., thank you for listening
