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.

Though I like the mechanics included in Technic kits, I prefer the look of finished models that are block based. The Shelby Cobra is a beauty. While building, I enjoy analyzing the how different designers approach construction. This kit didn't disappoint from build to finish.

My husband has this same car -'65 Shelby Cobra Factory Five- & the same color, so I asked my Grandson to build this set for him. He enjoyed it very much! He is 8 years old & has been building 18+ Legos since he was 5. He now builds using the 3D instructions on the Lego Builder App on his iPad. He really liked all the detail: the tools & toolbox; the "Hundo" for the dash!

Love it. It's complex to build, but fun as well! It's not a toy for sure, but looks amazing. The scale is spot on for some reason. The seats suck, won't stay in place....but it's not a toy lol! Only complaint: instructions. The darkish gray background and Ford blue pieces are hard as heck to see in anything but bright light. And I know, Ford blue (sigh), but again? Still, this things amazing! 🙃

This model is a beautiful recreation of one of the most iconic cars ever produced. The details are amazing and the build is intriguing. Dark blue parts on gray paper is a little difficult to see, but I haven't had any trouble figuring out which parts I'm looking for.

I looked forward to this build as I am a true Lego car lover however this was a mistake by both myself and Lego - structural integrity is poor as the new use of elements in some areas does not work and pieces fall off at random while building - I was tempted to reach for glue - I am not done yet and want to get it behind me as soon as I can - and yes I use the builder app because of the poor colors in the book - for the prices Lego asks they need to get the quality up to the new competition and price more reasonably!

Overall the car looks good! There are some parts of this that are flimsy such as the windshield area, and the very ft of the hood. Lego could have done better with this. I used the book and the builder app and made it through. The wait for missing parts is very frustrating!! I'm still waiting on a trim piece but it's done!

Lots of small pieces, great details. many pieces that were only two tabs that then went into another with only one tab. That made pieces prone to pop apart while building. Made it about halfway before giving up after repeatedly trying to put the model together. Boxed it up and donated

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have put together several Technic kits and had excellent experience. I found this ICON difficult to build using just the book and "Bricklink's Studio". Of coursr these are only 2D. I should have used "LEGO Builder so I could get 3D views. Once done the kit tends to fall apart as the sub-assemblies are not very well tied to the body. The whole back is now in pieces on my desk. I will use "LEGO Builder" to rebuild the kit once I get past my frustration. I had good luck with the ICON Rivendell kit. I have three "TECHNIC " kits (Bugatti Bolide, McLaren Senna, and Porsche 911) in hand and have always had good luck with TECHNIC kits. After that there are several ICON Cars (McLaren MP 4/4, Chevrolet Camero Z28, and the Back to the future Kit) in mind but am now suspicious about the ICON car kits. Any suggestions on the McLaren Senna GTR?

This is not my first Lego car build and found this one to be very fragile. The whole front end of the car is being held together by 2 hooks clipped on to a bar and can fall off easily. Additionally I received an extra left side trim piece and when requesting a replacement I was asked to provide my passport in order for the piece to leave customs. That seemed very excessive for a single piece and I just kept that trim piece empty as is instead.
