A Must Have
on November 21, 2021
Posted by: FanaticalEngineer034
I purchased this one in store right before Lego listed this as "Retiring Soon". This build was quite the enjoyable experience right from the unboxing. The care Lego put into the delivery and the experience of the model was spectacular. There's a podcast to follow along with the build and extra content to be unlocked once you find your "VIN" plate in one of the final bags.
Shortly after the "marriage", I noticed the wheels weren't turning in the same direction while testing them out. Foolishly, I didn't try fixing the gears at that point while they were still accessible. So when I completed the car and tried pushing it to watch it roll, the car quickly bounced back to me. Thankfully, I found a reddit thread that discussed reversing the rear differential by pulling out the axles. Was able to fix that mistake with a pair a tweezers within 15 minutes, avoiding hours of reconstruction. It was a delight watching it roll to the sound of a real Bugatti's engine via the bonus content.
I gave this vehicle a 4-star based on a few pieces popping off while handling. There's a piece under either side of the spoiler that is only secured by a stud and has popped off if you lower the spoiler too far. I've also had the gray piece that holds the red strip come off of the car pretty easily. And finally, I would've loved to have the doors feel a little more secure when closed. Otherwise, I felt this model was well designed and a beauty to see develop throughout the build. I can't wait to start the next technic build (the Lambo).
I would recommend this to a friend!

Incredible from start to finish

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!

Bugatti Chiron Review
on November 14, 2021
Posted by: AlwaysShootinBricks
Building lego’s like this is a good bonding moments for our family. We recently built the Porsche sport’s car so we decided to notch it up a level bit with this one. 4 star, because for the price, it was not as hard as we imagined it to be. Still, the bonding experience we had was worth it.

This was a sophisticated build. I give the creator much credit to the details. Take your time when building.

Beyond impressive

Between the new-to-me build techniques and the podcasts, I am mind blown that this thing is actually taking shape by my hands. If I could, I'd order a second one, just to showcase some of the sub-builds.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Disappointed
on October 14, 2021
Posted by: Johnnyboy51
I was really excited to get this set and try something to challenge myself and take time to build but as i proceeded to build the set i was missing several pieces to this set that were quite important to the set. If it weren't for saving my legos and looking throw my old settings to complete this set i wouldn't be done. I went through and counted 13 missing pieces in this set.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Excellent Technic Set
on October 12, 2021
Posted by: Brandito
Honestly I'm not even sure where to begin, but this might be one of the most stunning sets to see, photos don't do it any justice. The set gives the builder a challenge with an amazing end product. What fascinates me most about the Bugatti is the wing which can be raised with the speed key which is modeled after the real life key. I recommend this set to anyone who is up for the challenge!

Favorite Build Ever

Posted by: Code404Error
I absolutely loved everything about this build. The details were immaculate, and I feel like the creators of this build and LEGO really went the extra mile when designing it. From the unique serial number to the little bag to put inside the trunk, to the details everywhere, it's awesome.
