Before I go on a massive rant, I wanna thank the creator of the Lego Centenaro for creating this amazing set. The details is really amazing!Although the car looks amazing, don't let the pics and looks fool you. The product itself is highly disappointing and my 1st time actually rage quitting from building a dam "Lego set". Is building supposed to be fun? Or this stressful?Let me just start out the pros of this product...1. The box design is well done and looks like something Lego would do. Gives the "premium" feeling when reading the details and opening the box.And... yea.. that's it. Here's the the list of issues and opinions I have which caused me to rage quit at one time and now i've eventually just finished and it was just brutal... literally nearly 24 hours of work throughout midnight.1. Shockingly... I wasn't missing any pieces.....2. Instructions... IT'S TERRIBLE! BAD! VERY VERY VERY BAD! I don't know who design the instructions (maybe the creator of this set), but sorry... these instructions are just terrible and by far the WORST i've ever come across. It's unclear, bad quality, caused me HOURS of confusions, and worst, the building process is just stupid. I had to plan my own way to build the car without facing finger crushing.I've thought the custom Lego Thunderjaw from Horzion Zero Dawn was bad.. but this takes it to the next level.3. BAD quality on pieces. Either many pieces either gets super stuck, or literally very loose. Heck even the tool the package includes doesn't really help! Oh yea... don't forget about the scratches that some of the pieces includes.4. The directions and process of building this car. The instructions want you to build the car by it's body parts (front side, middle with driver cab and interior, mid engine and gears, etc. It may sounds easy.. but putting these together is a PAIN! VERY DIFFICULT! So difficult that you won't be able to connect every pieces together due to your fingers not fitting in...Literally putting this set together has actually caused me to break a few pieces too..... and, for some reasons the tires does NOT want to be clicked with the breaks. You literally have to use force and sadly, you can break the entire suspension like i've done.If you wanna know how i've built it... here's my order. Middle body, then front axial, then gearbox, then rear axial, and then the rest...............................................................................................................................Now... i've finally finished it! Sadly... it's not great....1. Compare to the $350 official Lego Sian, the difference is MASSIVE! The Sian is super sturdy and you're able to carry the car just fine on all sides and even play with it. Yet for this model, it's the complete opposite. It's VERY FRAGILE AND THERE'S NO WAY TO CARRY THE CAR SAFELY!!!!!You heard that right.. there's literally no sides to carry this car safely without breaking pieces or moving the parts. The car just isn't strong. Again, this is not a toy and not recommended for children.Due to the cheap quality of pieces, sadly not all gears systems works. Heck, my doors don't even open property. The front wheels doesn't turn very well. The side skirts of the car is SUPER sensitive. Once touch and you already broke the side skirts. My spoiler doesn't even lift up or down at all. Usually gears gets stuck................................................................................................................................Overall.... the model set looks very nice! Yet once you touch it, you will realize how cheap it really feels. With the bad instructions and wasted time due to unclear instructions, lots of confusions, cheap parts, and the car not being full sturdy, i'm going to give this at best a 2/5. It's a nice car for display. But please.. don't play with it. DO I recommend it? If you're a diehard Lambo fan and love Legos, I would say.... maybe... only if it depends if YOU are able to face the potential stress and stupid obstacles this car has.
