Worst build I've ever done
on March 3, 2025
Posted by: Josiah1986
As an adult man, I have been building legos since I was a toddler. I am an expert builder. This has been by far the WORST build I've ever done. I built the McClaren and the Lamborghini EASILY and had no problems. This build has had several missing parts, incorrect instructions, missing instructions, etc. Just AWFUL. If this was my first Technic build, I'd probably never purchase Technics again.
I enjoyed building the Ferrari Daytona Sp3, #42143. It looks very impressive. I found using the online building guide pictures very helpful. My wife is happy to have many of her Tupperware containers back now that the project is done.
This was my 26th set I built but the first in this price range. I started with a Speed Champion set and worked me up the ladder to be now on this level. When I opened the package I was impressed of the box itself and removed it very carefully from the packaging and opened it also extremely careful to not damage it. Everything in this set is different to the regular sets. The build experience and the fun to build it, see it growing was unbeatable. I won’t miss any minute of the build. The details are amazing, from the gear box through the steering, suspension, door and hoods. It was very soon obvious that this price range is not at all flimsy as the cheaper Technic sets. And the final result confirmed it. This set is much more playable. I was first a little bit frustrated that the bags in the box had 4/5 times the same numbering but it was not bad at all to handle the bigger amount of bricks. The price is without doubts something I had to think three times if I wanted to spend this money but at the end I don’t regret it at all and looking forward to build the next set in this range.
The Ferrari Daytona SP3 Was the worse build ever... Terrible instructions... Missing parts. Worst of all was that the blocks didn’t snap in correctly…You need crazy glue all over place, because if you just touch the car the wrong way, blocks and parts just pop off, resulting in hours of rebuilding and repair. Very frustrating and not at all happy with this product…
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there! Thank you for your feedback. You definitely shouldn't have to use glue on any of our sets! 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! We're always available at LEGO.build/Service-BV if you'd like assistance!
A product made by an unprofessional team. Not careful at all. The instructions are a mess

That doesn't sound like the experience we want our LEGO® fans to have. If you haven't already, please reach out to us via LEGO.build/Service-BV. We're always looking for ways to improve and would be happy to hear from you!
The build is very intricate and takes a while but it's all worth it at the end. It looks amazing! It's been sitting on my shelf the past 7 months and I just smile everytime I see it. A little pricey for the piece count, but it is pretty massive at roughly 2 feet by 1 foot, so I still think it's well worth it
