Underwhelming, with playability issues.

I was most excited to begin playing with the LEGO Formula 1 McLaren MCL38, and I was dismayed to find that many aspects of the set made it quite unplayable. I also found that the construction of the car was not sturdy. Amongst the many issues of the car, there was the fact that, although they appeared to be firmly fixed on, the side panels kept falling off which I found extremely annoying. On top of that, I noticed that the undercarriage of the model was scraping the ground as I moved it! In order to counter all these faults, I was forced to strip the underside of the model of all the pieces that were touching the floor. Overall, an underwhelming experience.

I was so excited that Lego came out with all the teams in this size. I already had the McLaren from a previous year.
This set was a bit frustrating to build. The side panels are held on by a single dot. So as I continued to build the sides kept falling off. And I had the same issue with the floor panels.
Once it was fully built, it still kept falling apart. This set is so fragile.
It's not as fun to play with as the older McLaren set. Which stays together and rolls better.

Loved the build and how it turned out. We had just decided to get i to some od the automotive/ race car sets and thought this would be perfect before tryjng a bigger set. The only thing that was a little bit of a bother is my fingers are bigger so some of the stickers were a bit of a pain, but overall I loved how it turned out. We got 3 different builds this is just the first to put together. Very happy with it and will look good in our lego collection.

This was my final F1 build in the series. The other 9 were a lot of fun to build. I understand LEGO was trying to keep the builds independent to make them interesting, however, this one falls WAY short of keeping up. Far to many small pieces that fall apart while you are assembling other pieces. It was seriously boring, tedious and I couldn't wait to finish it so I could forget about it. I also was given two pieces (6510144) so I couldn't even finish the build. I need (6510130). Also, the one stud piece at the front uses a sticker in this set, in all of the others it is a printed piece. The sticker is very small and requires steady hands to affix it properly. The end result is a nice looking car, but it wasn't worth the effort. F- for F1!
