Verified Purchase:Yes
We were excited to build it and see it completed. However, there are 3 missing pieces, which is rare for a LEGO set based on my previous experiences. Now we can’t even finish it due to the missing pieces. It’s super disappointing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Oh no! It's disappointing when your build isn’t going as planned. Make sure there isn't a bag still stuck in the box. If not, we're happy to help. Please give us a call or chat at LEGO.build/Service-BV so we can get the parts you need requested!

I thought the build was challenging and fun. I have the McLaren F1 car and the builds were both similar but very different. I enjoyed that aspect since the cars should be different. I can’t wait to see how the Ferrari F1 car coming out in 2025 will be different.

We're huge F1 fans at home, and this is so well-designed! Definitely going to keep it assembled and displayed.

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
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very enjoyable build

I prefer doing more challenging builds and I find, in general, the Technics builds are the most challenging. Being a bit of a car buff, I gravitate to the more complicated cars. I have done the Lamborghini and the Bugatti, similar builds but both challenging, I had not done a car in about 18 months and I have to say, while a smaller project, the AMG-F1 was an interesting build. I found it to hold my interest not to repetitive and as many have suggested felt like I was building a real car. I was surprised there was not any attention paid to the brakes, but overall I thought the build was good. There are times when the instructions are not clear. I think there are places along the way where if you were building a project like this for the first time, you could make a number of mistakes. Maybe some tips within the instructions making sure customers use the right "pins" don't confuse right and left panels etc, might be helpful. I would definitely recommend this project.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We're sorry to hear that some instructions weren't clear. For your future experience, you can find higher contrast digital instructions that allow you to zoom in and rotate at LEGO.build/BuilderApp-BV so go check it out!

Great build, with one huge asterisk
on August 2, 2024
Posted by: Jeff
This was my first car build (12th overall), and I really enjoyed most of the experience. It was great to watch it progress, and the 3D instructions on the Builder app were incredibly helpful at times.
That said, there's one huge drawback: SO. MANY. STICKERS. I get annoyed when there are five stickers, and this one has close to 80. EIGHTY STICKERS. Every time I got into a rhythm, a series of fiddling with stickers reminded me how much I hate them.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
