Great, but not that great
on February 10, 2020
Posted by: Turban02
This is a fun build, and can be challenging at times, some of the reviews I've read make no sense unless this is too challenging for ya. Only thing I would say is if more detail was put into the exterior, some parts of the car do seem flimsy (door and the piece behind the door), overall it holds up to a 4 year old playing with it, so its pretty good lego set.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Overall a fun set

LEGO put a lot of efforts on the manuals and the boxes design to make this feel more Bugatti. But one little piece was missing somehow.

Excellent Build.....Really Likeing Technic

I stopped timing my builds because I felt like I was rushing. I enjoyed this build. No missing pieces which on the last 2 Technic builds, had several pieces missing. Like that there was limited stickers.

A challenging experience
on January 13, 2020
Posted by: JP2020
I was very hesitant to purchase this set at first given its only my second Technic build. A single mistake on my part in the middle of manual #1 did not become apparent until well into manual #2 after the two halves of the car had already been joined. Fortunately, this mistake only prevented me from adding the flexible pipe arch that is part of the car's interior. Correcting it was not worth undoing 100+ steps. I also noticed that while the steering wheel works, the overall weight of the car in combination with the rubber tires in contact with most surfaces means the steering wheel will not turn.
A few things that would have made this a more enjoyable build:
1. This build would have been great for motorization and remote control features. Lego put a lot of effort designing a working gearbox for this car. Tying this gearbox into motors would have awesome feat and would have greatly increased its play value. Think about it; using a cellphone to shift gears to adjust the speed of the car would have been really cool. I would have gladly paid more for a remote feature.
2. Use of stickers is somewhat disappointing. At this size and price point I would have liked to have seen quality screen printed parts used. More detail in the interior would have been nice.

This was overall an enjoyable build. I am merely mentioning ways it could have been improved. I hope Lego is listening for future car builds like this one. At this scale, realism and quality is very important.

A set worthy of having Bugatti on the box
on January 7, 2020
Posted by: Jrogo
Right away when opening this set you can tell Bugatti and Lego put their all into it. It is presented with so much more prestige than your typical Lego set. Inside the box is a collection of smaller boxes and the instruction manual that make up a picture of a Bugatti. The reverse of these has another picture as well. So right away you can tell you are getting into a set that Bugatti and Lego put their all into.
There are two instruction books included and the division of bags into different numbered boxes makes it easy to follow along and stay organized. It took me around 12 hours to put it together and it was quite enjoyable. There is a podcast they suggest listening to while building. I did not listen to it, mainly cause there was other content I felt like having on.
One of the more difficult steps was when you need to merge the front of the car with the back. You have to line up the drive shaft and a few other moving parts. The instructions tell you to make sure certain moving parts are placed in a certain direction but there is not much guidance on what to test once these are together to make sure everything is working. I would suggest putting the wheels on at this point for testing on a flat surface. The wheels should rotate the drive shaft and if you move the shift knob towards the engine, then the pistons in the engine should move when the car moves (I believe the shifter is on at this point). After you test take the wheels back off.
It looks amazing when put together. I don't think I will take this set apart or rebuild it like I have with others. The long tube pieces that make up some of the curves of the car seem like they could get really messed up with repeated builds.
Overall, it is a set I would definitely recommend to anyone that enjoys both cars and Lego.

Beautiful
on December 31, 2019
Posted by: DjDagersheim
Just finished this model. Absolutely beautiful. I cannot stop looking at it. The build was long but rewarding. I loved building the drivetrain. I enjoyed putting the gears together and seeing how the different "clutches" engage. There was some serious time put into the design of this model. The exterior lines are beautiful and there is absolutely no mistaking this for any other vehicle. I wish Lego would have incorporated a brake rotor design with less wiggle and a better way to mount the brake caliper because both feel loose and unsecure. Those are my only complaints about this model. If other color options were available I'd definitely purchase and build it again. Overall a very fun build. Beautiful looking model. Huge in size. Great value for the money. Highly recommend.

Great Model and a Feeling of Accomplishment
on December 29, 2019

Having built the UCS Millennium Falcon some time ago, I was ready for another challenge and this model has become my favorite Lego build. While working on it I was inspired to learn about the real Bugatti Chiron and I was blown away by all I learned, from Buggati's history to how the vehicle is assembled and it's capabilities. The car is an engineering marvel. As I proceeded through the build, I could see the level of detail that the Lego designer put into this model. The bags are numbered which increased my enjoyment. However, after the "marriage" part at stage 6 I tested the wheels by spinning them by hand and noticed they would spin only a turn or two and then stop. I disassembled most of what I completed and located that my mistake was in the gearbox with the orange pieces that engage the various gears. I didn't have those orange pieces sitting correctly so there they would be able to engage the gears. Based on some similar problems I've seen builders have on YouTube who unfortunately discovered a problem with the wheels not turning after the model was completely finished; I recommend testing the wheels to make sure they spin after the marriage where you join the front and rear halves of the model. The wing was also a bit of a challenge for some reason, but it ultimately came together perfectly. My second suggestion for builders is to take their time and enjoy the process. I've seen several videos where people try to rush assembly and ultimately make a mistake. Even with my mistake this was a great experience and I enjoyed putting the model together and learning about the real Chiron. The model looks great and the more you learn about the real Chiron, the more you will appreciate what went into designing this piece. I enjoyed the Chiron so much, that I ordered the technic Porsche which I had to get from a third party because it is a retired product. From what I see, the Bugatti blows the Porsche away, but I got addicted to the engineering that goes into these models.
