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.

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.

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!

Fun Kit
on May 19, 2024
Posted by: EmpressFumblingScooter102
This is complex kit that is really fun to build by following the directions step-by-step but does not allow for creative building. It has a lot of connecting pieces and very few bricks. It is a nice size for display but too big for playability. It will take a lot of imagination to build anything other than the intended car with the amount of specialized parts and lack of bricks. It is so fun to build that I would be happy taking it apart and reassembling it again and again.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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

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.
I would recommend this to a friend!
