everytime i would place new pieces down, specifically bags 7 - 9, the top of the car kept falling off and some of the bottom back of it did as well. i spent more time having to go back and fix the parts falling off than actually finishing t.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Oh no! We're sorry to hear that you had some trouble with your new set. We can understand how frustrating it can be when peices aren't holding together as they should. If you'd like a hand troubleshoting the build, please reach out to us at LEGO.build/Service.
This kit was a Christmas gift for me from my son as this is my favorite car . I am 72 so a magnifying glass was helpful at times to see details. It was very fun to assemble, especially since sometimes you cannot tell what you are building until you finish a section. It is amazing how little square pieces can come together to create something so awesome. Thank you LEGO.
I have collected most of the Lego Vehicles like the Lamborghini, Camaro, etc. I was so excited when they announced the Shelby Cobra and now that I have it I wasn’t disappointed. It was a blast to build and the end result was a masterpiece. I highly recommend this set to anyone who wants to complete there collection.
First of all, I drove 90 miles to purchase this kit. I was so excited to buy it. I’ve built other kits that were difficult, but, this one is a mind blower. It all went well until , I tried to put the front end to the body. It literally fell apart in my hands, not once, but, twice. All the little parts with one piece connecting to another. The blue bricks and the manual with the grey background made it very difficult to match the prices to the build section. The only good thing was only three stickers to attach. I would consider myself an accomplished builder with 200 plus kits. But, by far this one almost made me get out the glue on some parts. I would not recommend this kit to anyone, especially a beginner. I read other reviews and should have listened. I finished the kit and carefully placed it on the shelf. It reminds me of my experience with the T2 Camper. That was a nightmare, too!!!
