First and last Lego set
on July 2, 2025
Posted by: FarmerBraveSpoon104
Terrible experience. Worst money spent in my entire life probably. When I try to put a piece on, 5 fall off. I wanted to go back to childhood. I will never buy Lego again that’s how bad it was :( I’m throwing it away because I’m not dealing with the parts breaking over and over. I can’t even finish it because it’s so fragile and poor quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from LEGOBy Sien, LEGO® Customer Service, July 5, 2025
We're really sorry that this build has left you so frustrated and disappointed. We want our builders to have a fun time while putting the set together and it sounds like we were not able to deliver on that. We appreciate your feedback and will pass it on. It will certainly help us do better in the future. We do hope you give us another chance and hopefully another set will help you reconnect with that inner child.

Horrible
on May 25, 2025
Posted by: scooterboy
The Lego set was a gift and we are extremely disappointed. I have put it together several times. The roof does not work properly (will fall apart), the engine is impossible - when you try to place it in the bottom everything else falls apart. Very expensive Lego and not worth it. Frustrated and disappointed. Regret spending this amount of money on an item that doesn't meet expectations! Would NOT recommend!!!

Pure Garbage
on December 5, 2024
Posted by: SquashedKeyboard057
I am not going to rehash my problems. Just read every other 1 star review for a synopsis of my problems.
Garbage design, garbage production and garbage pieces.
I can't say one good thing about this piece of trash set. Lego should be ashamed of themselves for even selling it.
What is really funny are the responses from Lego blaming the problems on the builder.
Take a good long look in the mirror Lego.
You failed horribly on this one!
DO NOT BUY!

Absolute Worst Set
on May 8, 2023
Posted by: CC12345
Have built quite a few advanced lego sets recently - this is absolutely the worst set - rebuilt the back and front ends many times but set falls apart if you look at it. Thrown in the trash!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This was my first Lego set I put together in a really long time and it was great! The bags were well labeled, the instructions were helpful and it was fun!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Keep you Blood Pressure meds handy

This is a good looking lego once complete, however if you can get it finished and in one piece, super glue it and never touch it again. If you look at it wrong something will fall off and the design is so flimsy it will take you four hours and three anxiety attacks to put it back together. I am in the latter half of my 30s and have built legos my whole life. This set made me question if i would ever buy another lego. My lego time is for relaxing, following instructions, doing something with my hands and having a pretty finished product. This was the OPPOSITE of relaxing, i think i sank half a months worth of Clonazepam into this build. The front end is barely capable of staying together and on the van. It took myself and my equally advanced partner several hours of taking turns as our patience depleted to get it put together (mind you I am a visual artist who works with his hands making tedious tiny detailed things all day. The entire back door is held into place by literally two dots of contact, the roof does not open or close properly, the on time i tried to open it, the needlessly complex, ill fitting roof mechanism would not return to its place before taking out the aforementioned poorly designed back door with it, causing several hours of rebuilding a very simple (15-20 pieces) door that simply cannot support its own weight. the design is abysmally flimsy and whole parts of the vehicle will crumble in your hands over and over again if you are not a neurosurgeon (and probably even if you are) i was trying to pack it up to move and so many parts fell off and refused to go back together that the whole thing almost got tossed across the room. It is now just sitting in several pieces in a box, in the hopes that after i move i will be in a place where i somehow have the patience of mother Theresa to put it back together. I like the advanced sets, i like a challenge, this set is a torture device. If it was not a matter of immense personal pride and slight psychosis re: finishing things, i wiuld 100% return this, and demand they find someone to prescribe a replacement for my anxiety meds. I have never, in almost four decades of life, encountered another set this truly outraging. Im not sharing photos because they would either be a grown man sobbing or something truly nsfw.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Impossible to keep together
on December 15, 2022
Posted by: som_E_thing
I could never get it fully built every time I moved on another piece would break off and while fixing that part another part broke. And I just continued and continued. I felt like I was loosing my mind I wanted to chuck it out a window. It is so cute and I was really looking forward to finally having some legos my style around my boyfriends star wars Legos. My bf is gonna try to fix it now to see but I almost don’t even want it anymore.

Definitely one of my favorite builds this year. Never repetitive or boring. Highly recommend it. Looks great too.
