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!

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!

Enjoy buying and collecting all the lego icon vehicles, just the best

This is a Christmas gift for my brother who owns a Shelby Cobra

This was a frustrating build. Partly due to my mistakes but also due to some pieces not clicking together tightly. The end result is good but definitely had issues at certain points.

I had a very enjoyable time building the car. I find it to be relaxing and entertaining. Would like for you to build 1970 GTO or an earlier model. I’m sort of a collector of the heavy models of the 6o’s. Thank you

... It is quite fragile! You have to handle it carefully to avoid pieces falling off of it. The build was pretty straightforward, but the colors don't work well in the instruction book, making it hard to see. The Builder App worked much better and I recommend using the Builder App to build this. There are a couple of steps that are confusing in the instruction book, but the app helps make things clear because the colors are much better and you can zoom in and rotate the assembly in question to look at it from different views. I have to mention that the kit creatively uses a Lego coffee cup, two Lego spoons, and a lego fork as part of the build. Entertaining! Overall, it is very well done and looks fantastic! Great to display and great for any car enthusiast. Recommended!

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!!!

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.

Awesome build. I used the Open Build 3D building instruction in the Lego Builder App for the first time and was blown away. So impressed!
