I'm bleeding. Literally. There's blood coming out. It's from the plastic. I've had to start over. In over 20 years of building, I've never had to start over. But that's how bad this build is. It's so bad I'm considering sending it back. It's just not worth it.

Finally, after waiting for years, Lego has released a kit that gives me hope that the company is still invested in producing high-quality kits for adults! This kit was a joy to build and is a highly accurate reproduction of this 80s sports car. What sold me was the printed pieces and ZERO stickers! Lego, the more kits you sell with printed pieces and no stickers, the more kits I will be buying from you. I look forward to more sports cars in this scale in the near future.

This Lamborghini is awesome. Looks like the cars I’ve always dreamed of owning and had hanging as posters on my walls as a child. Lego did an excellent job creating this Countach. I really love how there weren’t any stickers with this set. I feel like all sets should be this way. Especially for the price paid. The stickers make these collector sets look cheep. I hope they keep that up with all new sets.

Don't pay attention to the review from the guy who obviously has tissue paper for finger tips. Nothing about this build was painful, I had a smile on my face the whole time. This is an absolutely gorgeous model and a tasteful addition to any car enthusiast's abode. Highly recommend.

After 40 years of being the most iconic car in the world, Lego has finally created a giant model of the Lamborghini Countach. It couldn't have come at a better time, as Lego has utilized a variety of newer parts and some original pieces developed for just this set. With such resources, one would expect an absolute banger of a set but like the original Countach, there's always a few charms behind the grandeur. Overall, it looks and feels like a Countach. It has the iconic scissor doors, the V12, steering wheel, etc. The proportions are generally great and there's some quite clever details around those iconic taillights. The side NACA duct is spot on. Lego may not have had the parts in the 1980s to pull this off but boy, do they use their modern parts library for this. And those bespoke OZ wheels. Nice! However, there are moments that suggest a momentary lack of passion in an otherwise stellar build. The first and considered elephant in the room is that there are no pop up headlights. They did it for the F40 Creator set back in the day. Why not spend the time revising the front to do so here? There's plenty of ways to achieve it and some people are modifying their builds to do so. Secondly, the front bonnet is way too depressed compared to the front wheel arches on either side. And lastly, the famous Gandini arch over the back wheel is represented by a typical arch. These are some of the moments where one knows not every detail can be captured but some of them are what gave the Lamborghini Countach its passion in form. As for the instruction book, it was logical and laid out but not quite as celebratory as the Speed Champion build. There were a few quotes here and there like the Technic UCS 1:8 builds but felt cold compared to the subject, and no final WOW! build is complete step either. Now the quote that the Countach was designed by Bertone is technically correct but most people in car culture attributed it to Gandini, who worked for Bertone but achieved worldwide fame for this and other car designs. Now all of those faults are minor compared to what is actually delivered for the price. It's a giant Lego Countach, the stuff of dreams. It looks like a Countach and it's been a challenging MOC for anyone for the last forty years. Lego has produced an excellent example that will stun even perfectionists.

Being a Lamborghini lover since a kid, I purchased this kit as soon as it was available. I sat down to begin my build today and low and behold, page 1 step 1, I am missing the two first pieces I need to start the build with. Now it can take up to a month to get the missing pieces and my fear is that I am missing more pieces and will sporadically find them and spend the next six years waiting for parts to arrive.

I have built just about every single vehicle in the creator/icon and technic series in this by far and away is the most painfully tedious build ever. The thing constantly falls apart because there’s too many attempts at creative angles, and tiny pieces that barely hang on. So that if any piece falls off, it’s almost impossible to fix without disassembling the entire build. Too fragile of a build. I wanted to fix one tiny piece that fell off around the rear tail light. And that caused a cascade of just crumbling until the back third of the car was in pieces again. I gave up, threw it all back in the box. It’s the only negative build I’ve had to this point.

This is a really nice build. For those of you having trouble fitting the wheels it's important you fit the wheels correctly. The front and inner rear wheels need to have shallow sides facing out while the outer rear wheels need to have the deep sides facing out. This is easy to overlook in the instructions.

The build was fun up until towards the end because everything in the back is held in by 2 flimsy pieces so unless you are using glue while building it becomes a poor experience. The beginning was fun and finished result was good but on the last bag near the end was so bad.

The set was in general easy to build but you have to be concentrating to build it in the right direction and use the correct parts. I started and couldn’t get of it until it was finished. Amazing engineering work to get the details of the real car. It’s impressed me on each set again and again. I would love to see the realistic details of the car appearance also in the technical side of the set, with suspension, engine, etc. I’m missing this a lot when I built it. One big minus on this set are the tires. They could use more filigrane tires and not the truck like they did. Not perfect but acceptable are the rear rims, two on each side makes it a little bit weird. But over all an amazing set with a lot of fun to build and look at it on have shelf.
