The bad reviews are not a fair representation of this set. The set was fantastic to build and had some amazing techniques that I never experienced before in an Icons car. I believe the negative reviews are grossly exaggerating the difficulty of the build.
Best Icons set to date. The details on this set are fantastic, and Lego has perfectly captured the look of the E-type with the curves and play features. I personally love this set and feel it is very well priced, great addition to my collection. Definitely pick this set up if you haven't already!!
Please buy this!! This is by far the best looking ICONS car to date. The curves are beautiful, fun little details, good building techniques. Even if you are just buying it to put on shelf for display, you will feel like you got your moneys worth because of how great it looks. Well done LEGO!
Loved Loved Loved this build. The builds seem to get better and better. Thank you and please don’t stop pushing the boundaries. In my opinion the challenging the build the greater the reward when completed.
This was a build I’d do again and again. Not a fan of technic cars so I was hesitant to try an Icons car but it was definitely worth it and now I’m on the hunt for more
I would recommend this to a friend!

We love to hear about builders branching out of their comfort zone! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review.
One of worst to build. Parts didn’t snap in as they should have. Easily falls apart. Too many teeny parts. Not Lego quality! Model T not Lego quality either.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry you're having trouble keeping your set together. If you'd like a hand troubleshooting the build or if you find that any pieces aren't holding together as they should, feel free to give us a shout at LEGO.build/Service so we can help!
The build and features of the kit are amazing (aside from the headlights, which come off as a bit tacky, and the fenders, which don't work very well), but it's fragile - when I put it in a cloth bag to take it to my office, a lot of the hood fell apart and needed reconstruction. The bumpers also require constant readjustment. Compared to the Porsche that's in the same series, it's a high maintenance proposal...then then again, since it's a Jaguar, one wonders if Lego is just trying to faithfully replicate the actual Jaguar ownership experience. Fun build, though.
I would recommend this to a friend!
