Fine model, but 6/7 speeds worked

The first gear was a cracking sound once I pushed the car when the wheels roll, 6 of the gears worked perfectly and smoothly on hybrid mode, but the 1st gear makes a creaking sound when I push or pull it. Maybe we recommend this set if it is a beatiful set and also play functions worked well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

McLaren P1
on August 14, 2024
Posted by: Aroostok
As with the last 4 item’s I’ve ought, there were missing pieces which required extending build time. Very frustrating in that 2 of 8 of the same pieces are missing (so far)

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!

This has been the most technical, challenging and fun build of all the supercars. I have built all five, and after being disappointed at the two most recent models, this one was the greatest. Keep them coming! Too bad I have to wait two years.

P1 Technic 8/10
on August 11, 2024
Posted by: Ronnoc
Overall I loved building this set. The transmission is beautifully complex, the doors have such a satisfying way to open them, and the wing and shifting is just so fun to keep fiddling with over and over. The box for the set I also loved. Really cool style with opening the box to seeing the stages of the real thing to the Lego. The body of the P1 was also really nice. The back end and doors were fun to build, however my only complaint about the set is the front end. I overall think this is one of my favorites up there with my SP3, but the front to me just doesn’t look like a P1. Maybe the 570 but not really the P1. Proportionally off for that part and I’m not as big of a fan of it, but otherwise yeah. Spectacular set.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Incredible Build Experience
on August 19, 2024
Posted by: Jroc7
If you want something that's technical and complex and that will challenge you, this is the set. The functionality crammed into this build is unbelievable. The value in this set is in the experience, the engineering, and the presentation. The finished product is also amazing. I can't put it away because I keep wanting to tinker with it. In fact, this is the first set that I enjoyed playing with just the subassemblies before it was even finished! That's how cool the build is.

Awesome as usual….but the price

An incredible build and a very cool display piece. Still, the price of these things is getting harder and harder to justify purchasing. I absolutely get the detailed complexity of these sets cost $ to produce, but when I can buy a major appliance for the cost o two of these sets, then well….it’s tough to justify. I’m an older adult so I suppose I have some amount of “disposable income” (although by no way a lot) so I can afford them. Every time I buy one, though, I think how many folks - especially younger - are simply getting priced out of enjoying these sets. Philosophical rant over, this is an incredible set. Tremendous fun to build and great display piece.
