Improvement from the McLaren but So Many Stickers!
on March 4, 2024
Posted by: SuspiciousHouse071
This set pairs nicely with the McLaren F1 technic Car #42141, and overall I would say is an improvement over it. Less flat edges, more accurate shapes, and the slick tires are very nice. The only thing I didn't like is that this set has 84 stickers. I would have preferred to pay more for more printed pieces and less stickers, but that's my opinion, 4.5 out of 5.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Definitely getting better

Pleased, felt like I was actually building a real car when compared to the McLaren. Stickers are still crazy but the detail is fantastic. This isn't something you'd want to be picking up a lot either, it's as delicate as it looks.

Mercedes F1

I was expecting this to be almost identical to the McLaren F1, but I was pleasantly surprised to find definitive differences in the build. It looks incredible when finished and much more like the actual car than the McLaren. I found using a pair of foreceps in the tight spots made it much easier to build.

Thank you Lego. This was a great build for a beginner such as myself and I can officially say that I am now addicted to Lego Technic F1 cars. My new 2022 McLaren F1 race car arrives tomorrow!

Good build

This was my second build and it was great. I like how the builder app takes you through step by step in an animated fashion. Using both the app and the book helps with any confusing steps. The only downside was the amount of stickers. I like the decals but when you put stickers on you better get it right the first time. Using tweezers helps

Great build

I work a full time job and was able to finish it in two days. If you are a fan of the regular square legos this is NOT the set for you! It had a lot of the little connectors pieces that kinda hurt ur finger and made me break a nail, but it ended up being completely worth it in the end. The manual does not necessarily highlight the pieces and where you are supposed to place them so you have to pay close attention to it. Overall as a f1 fan and Lego fan it was worth every penny !
I would recommend this to a friend!

Disappointed with the "sticker fest" of this kit
on March 10, 2024
Posted by: Tazdevil311
As an avid LEGO and Formula 1 enthusiast, I eagerly anticipated assembling the LEGO Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 E Performance set. However, my excitement quickly turned to disappointment upon discovering that this set was a sticker fest.
Despite its premium price tag, I was surprised to find that the graphics were applied using stickers rather than being printed directly onto the bricks. Given the investment in the set, there was a legitimate expectation for higher quality detailing, which was unfortunately not met.
Furthermore, unlike its predecessor, the wheels of the W14 E Performance model were a letdown. They appeared to be the result of an incomplete mold process, lacking the refinement and attention to detail expected from LEGO’s engineering standards.
Overall, while the LEGO Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 E Performance set may appeal to collectors and fans of the sport, its reliance on stickers for graphics and subpar wheel design make it fall short of expectations, especially considering its price point.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
