Another Great Porsche Set!

Obviously not as large as the GT3RS, but for 1/2 the cost it is more than 50% the size of it. I do wish the ride height was a little lower, but not a big deal at all.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very satisfying build!

I’ve read many mixed reviews on this set. But we all have different tastes in aesthetics. I got this set sealed at a great price. I really enjoyed the challenge of opening all of the unnumbered bags and sorting pieces in groups. I will say you need some space for this build. I always build on our dining room table and I needed most of it. I put all matching pins and small parts in small containers that have lids for keeping things together when I wasn’t building. In all honesty, after spending a couple of hours sorting and grouping parts together…the build actually went faster than usual. I’m thinking it’s because I wasn’t opening a # bag every step and arranging parts during the build. This build was fun. Overall the car is much sturdier than my recent Ferrari 488 GTE build. I watched numerous videos on how to do the lower suspension mod. But I used pieces I had and found a much easier way to achieve this with less parts. Anyone who understands Technic parts and has spares can find any number of ways to do this. It really does set the car off! I’ll be lowering my Ferrari 488 next. Yes, this set has 2 full sheets of stickers. But they really blend seamlessly into the build and give a very nice look to the finished car. I also tucked the big headlight covers under the front clip. Just looks a bit cleaner in my opinion. I recommend getting this set before it’s retirement this year. Whether you want one to build or store sealed, no doubt this sub 1600 piece set will grow in value. Prices have been climbing since it’s retirement was announced at online stores and other platforms. Part of its popularity is no doubt due to the unnumbered bags. But primarily because this car looks like a 2000 piece set. It’s large and wide. It just looks great. Highly recommend this set!

Must have for Porsche enthusiasts

The detail on the RSR is great. Love the interior design like the actual race car and the operation of the flat six engine is a nice touch. Definitely worth the money!

Great Build

Having built the larger 911 and Bugatti I find this one to be just as enjoyable build as well as a bit more solid IMO - which should add to the play value also the stickers while numerous are are a better quality IMO allowing for easier placement without the dreaded stickiness from hades that we often have to deal with - buy it you'll like it!

EXCELLENT

The Porsche 911 RSR is probably the best technic build I have ever seen. It's detail inside and out are incredible and when you finish building it it's an absolute stunner just like the Voltron model. I would recommend having the bags numbered to cut down on build time, especially for a 1500+ kit cause it takes time to build. I love the color combination and it's HUGE, the tires and rims are my favorite part. Everytime I look at it I feel like I'm on the SUPER SPEEDWAY. It's a definite all star.

Hey there, we appreciate your review! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed this set overall. it's a real speedway stunner!
To address your concern, some of our "expert" level sets don't number the individual bags in order to increase the difficulty level for our experienced builders. I'm sorry if you felt this slowed down the process.For our fans who want to ease the challenge a bit, many of them will first sort the parts either by type or color.

Excellent build

For a small 1850 piece kit, it is an excellent build. I built it in between Xmas decorations that is why it took so long but it was fun. It included around 50 plus decals which, at the beginning, I was not to excited about, but as I got into the building process, I became very good at placing them straight and looking good. I can only imagine the price of the kit if, instead of decals, they had the bricks printed! Wow! It may have double ore more the price! One good factor is that the bags were not numbered! That made the kit a bit more challenging. I have built other kits like this and it creates another different set of rules on how tow sort the brick to ease the build. That’s when experience takes over. I enjoyed it very much. The kit was missing only two bricks. Out of 1,850 that is a 0.126% which, for statistics say, not significant. But for a build, it means a delay, if you don’t have a stash of your own to pick from as I do, of about 15 days from the date you order until you receive them. That is if you don’t have to go through the Customer Support, as was my case, and your phone area code (as is my case 787 Puerto Rico) is not included in the support 800 number! Then you have to use the slow email process that due to high email activity, takes longer than 15 days to solve an issue. At any rate, I emailed my missing parts request and thanks to my stash, I was able to sort of finish my build using gray bricks instead of white. The kit is not simple to build, it is challenging and engineering did a great job in replicating the 911. Don’t forget this is a Lego replica and at the end of the instruction book, you will find a photo of the actual car and the kit. It just looks fantastic! The quality of the instruction book shows a little deterioration, I have to assume, due to the increased amount of work. Pages are wrinkled, some are not square and show the trim edges. Nothing that will stop the building process but not the quality Lego has used to provide. I think Lego has lost quality due to quantity. My personal opinion. I am still a Lego fan, just ordered the Colosseum and can’t wait for it’s arrival to start building that wonderful creation. Merry Christmas to all and Happy building!!!!
