That makes me feel better about getting it. Yesterday I said “screw it” after thinking about the pros and cons for a while. I’m looking forward to seeing it in person.
I remember when the first gen of speed champs came out, they were good, but i can’t believe how far they’ve come since! this and the ford especially look AMAZING!!!
Now the only thing they have to improve on at this stage is to make the doors openable. If Lego could make these little cars from one seater to the two seaters we're now seeing, I think it's totally possible.
Do. The move to 8 wide in 2020 was a huge improvement - I’ve got the Ferrari F8 Tributo, the new Toyota, and the Lamborghini and Jaguars 2 packs, so 6 cars total. The rest of the 8 wide sets are on my to buy list...
@@Vilhelm22 same, I only got a couple of the original sets because they were on the cheap (the Camaro racecar and the Mclaren senna), but I love the new 2020+ stuff, the GT-R and the Jaguars sit on my shelf still need to snatch up the others before they retire. Definitely after the Jesko and Supra from this wave though.
This is actually the most appealing SC car I've seen so far. My issue with a lot of the hyper-cars is that in order to fit minifigures, the car fuselages have to be "thickened," sometimes to the point were there's a lot less resemblance to the original car. (looking at you, Ferrari F8 Tributo). However, in this design, the thicker body seems decently managed so that it looks like the actual car. It's not perfect, but this is the first SC set of a mid-engined car that really "feels" like the real thing.
You are definitely not the only one who thought Lego under sold them, I just built the new Ford GT and I am pleasantly surprised by how good it looks in real life once you have aligned the stickers correctly versus how it looks on the box.
If the name of a super car is this difficult to pronounce, then you KNOW it's gotta be DANGEROUSLY FAST. 😅 Maybe they'll make another Bugatti at some point similar to this. That'd be nice since I sadly never got the Chiron Model back from their third wave and it's ridiculously priced thanks to inflation and being discontinued for over 5 years.
Lovely set. I'm keeping mine NISB, bit have been tempted to build. I wish they could have improved the window line on the sides by integrating white curved slope pieces on top of the doors, somehow. I might buy a second to open and modify. Great review as always Jang 👏
Am I the only one who didn't get the notification? Im real worried this channel got cursed already. Saw the vid on home page. Refreshed and didnt get notification and wasn't shown when clicking on the notifications.
Great review. Not a fan of the studs on the underside as seen on other models but other than that the car looks pretty good. May actually complete this wave by buying this and the Elva at some point.
I like as I build these u come across certain points where the building techniques just blow your mind! How Lil Wayne has punchlines.. These designers have engineering punchlines!!
The Jesko is a spectacular car! It does not translate very well in a Lego model unless you make an oversized model of the car to get all the curves, but at that scale, I think it's just about the best they can do, awesome review, Jang!
Like you I wasn't expecting to like the Jesko (based on the photos on the box) because a) I hadn't heard of the brand/car before and 2) because I didn't think it looked like the car in the photo. However, after building it, like you, I also really liked it. Somehow it looks a lot better in person (3-dimensions). I do feel the large black spoiler dominates the view of the rear of the car so that you don't notice how well the designers have translated the curves/shapes at the back. Therefore, I made some small modifications, including using two dark grey 1 x 3 tile pieces to replace the spoiler assembly, and what you get is the Jesko Absolut.
i think another culprit of the render looking bad is it has a slight fisheye affect and makes the front end look way too big compared to the actual build but when i built it in person i loved the techniques and the easter egg you pointed out, overall i think it's a great car and the look is really solid.
The rear quarter is the only angle that looks right/ good to me as well as the spoiler portion. The front just looks weird with the massive gap at the front.
I disagree, it's about as accurate as you're gonna get for a really streamlined car like the Jesko. the only thing on the front I'd change would be the edges of the gap (the set of 1x2 modifies) would be use a 1x1 modified tile and a 1x1 cheese slop or something behind it to kinda close off the gap like on the real thing.
When the images first revealed the sets for the wave i thought the Jesko and the Elve were the worst cars in the wave but having them in person and going through the building process i can say they are some of the best out of the wave the angles and techniques used are just as good if not better than cars past Speed Champions as a theme is the gift that keeps on giving only negatives with the jesko is the print quality for the canopy/roof and the strange reason to go for pure red than translucent red for the rear lights is baffling the hollow studs on the bottom make it look unfinished too and those official pictures make this look bad but it's not
Bought this today, impulse buy, it was on 25% sale next to the counter in a super market..Which in Denmark means it cost 20 USD..We don't get American prices until the sets are old and discounted heavily sheesh
Just got one today. Mine is missing pages 16 to 22 in the instructions booklet. Anyone else have this problem? Edit: It's also missing steps 41 to 52 and it repeats previous steps after step 30 and again after step 40.
Not sure if it's an intentional choice or not Jang, but stickers 2 and 4 on the rear diffuser are actually reversed/upside down compared to the instructions and real car
Garbage-printed canopy ruins it for me. Great model overall, but that canopy just angers me to the point I'd just frown whenever I'd look at it on my shelf.
@@incognigo1670 I am talking about this channel. The name used to be "JANG's based LEGO reviews". He used 'based' to simply mean 'grounded', but the term is often also used in a very political context.
I am a big fan of this new generation of Speed Champion sets. Definitely going to get this one.
Best sets ever !
Wait for 2030 they will have 4 person 30$ cars
Same! They look great! Been driving the jesko in fh4 alot so this is amazing
That makes me feel better about getting it. Yesterday I said “screw it” after thinking about the pros and cons for a while. I’m looking forward to seeing it in person.
Same
I remember when the first gen of speed champs came out, they were good, but i can’t believe how far they’ve come since! this and the ford especially look AMAZING!!!
Just built this one earlier today! Glad I got this one, I enjoyed the building experience and looks great!
How many kidneys did you have to sell to get this?
@@Dziuraas 30 of them in Australia.
Congratulations, the set is beautiful, the car, the price, I will probably buy it soon 😏
Now the only thing they have to improve on at this stage is to make the doors openable. If Lego could make these little cars from one seater to the two seaters we're now seeing, I think it's totally possible.
I’ve been debating wether or not starting a speed champions, this’ll definitely be part of my collection if i do start it
Definitely get speed champions they r great

I’d recommend designing your own, for way more satisfaction.

Start with the Ferrari F 40

Whoo I'm gonna get this. Nice review jang 💪
I bought it along with some older sets and they should deliver today
Yes! Someone else noticed the flag. Love your reviews by the way and hope you have an awesome day.
this one was a day 1 purchase for me, with the Elva, and it did not disappoint. It is front and center on my work desk right now and it looks great.
You are definitely not the only one who thought Lego under sold them, I just built the new Ford GT and I am pleasantly surprised by how good it looks in real life once you have aligned the stickers correctly versus how it looks on the box.
Me: why is there so much yellow and blue inside?
Jang: there's a Swedish flag inside
Me: well I'll be...
Great, informative review. You've helped me decide whether or not to buy this one. Subscribed.
Looking forward to picking this up in the near future and a great review as usual!
Now this looks great.
Jeskooooo :D loved the live-streams!
I'm very excited! My Jesko, Supra, and Elva are coming in tonight!
I'm planning to buy this set.
WOOHOOO!!! Jang's reviewing the speed champions stuff so FAST(lol)

Definitely will get this one. As many others apparently. The first batch at my local store sold out on the first day!
When he said better than in the pictures he MEANS it
Looking forward on building this kit!

Built this one today GREAT set

This is my favorite supercar, at first my thoughts were exactly like yours, after seeing this review I think I’ll reconsider
Can’t wait fit the Regera!!!
I might get this with birthday money in a few months.
Jang's The Sticker Master !
Totally going to mod this for Zane in my Ninjago collection!
It pleases me that you found this surprisingly good, just like with the ninjago Fire Fang from two years ago.
Great review. Not a fan of the studs on the underside as seen on other models but other than that the car looks pretty good. May actually complete this wave by buying this and the Elva at some point.
I completely agree, the car on the box doesn't look all that great, but in person it swoops downward more and looks so much better in real life.
I got this Koeingsegg Jesko Lego Speed Champions set with the Lego Friends Apartments.
I want to use that windscreen for the Mclaren Elva
Never been a Koenigsegg fan and usually I don't like cars that don't have clear pieces as headlights. But I actually might pick this one up :o
I like as I build these u come across certain points where the building techniques just blow your mind! How Lil Wayne has punchlines.. These designers have engineering punchlines!!
The title says it all - Much better than in pictures (Though I already thought the pictures looked great)
I just picked this up and its the best one yet
I’m from Sweden and I got it as fast as I could, and when I got to my local store all of the koenigseggs was sold out. And only the koenigseggs
I have my koenigsegg coming on tomorrow can’t wait for it
This reminds me of the police vehicles in Dubai
This thing is so great, I NEED IT
The Jesko is a spectacular car! It does not translate very well in a Lego model unless you make an oversized model of the car to get all the curves, but at that scale, I think it's just about the best they can do, awesome review, Jang!
Still looks like it drove into a wall to me lol. Almost like that Tom and jerry scene when he gets a flat face
Hope one day. Lego will make a Caterham SP300 R.
One of my favourite is this one
Like you I wasn't expecting to like the Jesko (based on the photos on the box) because a) I hadn't heard of the brand/car before and 2) because I didn't think it looked like the car in the photo.

I love this one so much, I am getting a 2nd one to build in a different color. May even get a 3rd. Definitely my favorite SC car to date!
dark grey should be your first re-color ;-)
you should look the stkers on the back of the car because i have that car to,but just look the stikerson back that car you gonna understand
I was just about to look that car up 😉
i think another culprit of the render looking bad is it has a slight fisheye affect and makes the front end look way too big compared to the actual build but when i built it in person i loved the techniques and the easter egg you pointed out, overall i think it's a great car and the look is really solid.
Being Swedish I've got to check out the build of this. Oh and great to see you've changed the channel name!
According to CVK, it's Pronounced Yesko
I wish they would make the la Vitor noire
a great looking model
The rear quarter is the only angle that looks right/ good to me as well as the spoiler portion. The front just looks weird with the massive gap at the front.

This one was ok to me. Not bad in any way, it was nice
As a swedish, I will definetly get this ASAP.
Everyone loves Sweden 😍
Indeed
There is also a swedish flag inside of the car!
Looks better without spoiler from back
Koenigsegg is currently working on a Jesko without spoiler, the new version will have two small fins instead.
2 reviews on the same day AND a channel name change!? You're spoiling us
if i had a dollar for every time jangbricks made me realize i was pronouncing something incorrectly
imo sc sets always look way better in person compared to the box. the mercedes/gmc was that way for me big time on this wave
Should a lego Mini Cooper be 6-wide or 8-wide ?
7 wide

hello jangbricks i got this set today. it cost in sweden 259 swedish krowns.
Mine is ordered is taking forever
Keonigseg jesko, its Ferrari f8 tributo
I had that set on my hands today and didn't buy it, I was such a fool !
Bought this today, impulse buy, it was on 25% sale next to the counter in a super market..Which in Denmark means it cost 20 USD..We don't get American prices until the sets are old and discounted heavily sheesh
Is it too much to ask for LEGO to redesign the helmet to look more modern and realistic? It’s essentially the same design since the late ‘70’s.
Can anyone mod this car so it look like jesko absolute
I was hoping to see an extra green cleaver😢
Wow
Just got one today. Mine is missing pages 16 to 22 in the instructions booklet. Anyone else have this problem?
Edit: It's also missing steps 41 to 52 and it repeats previous steps after step 30 and again after step 40.
Must be a QC issue. How unfortunate.
Cool! 👍
Feels like a LAMBO to me, mainly coz Lego pieces ar sharp and edgy while Koeniggseg is super round and soft
True!
Yup, Lamborghini vibes
Gimli: you have my limegreen axe.
Hello
I'm not a big fan of the blue, yellow and lime highlights poking through (especially the lime machette at the front), but I'm quite fond of the rest
Less gooo
Not sure if it's an intentional choice or not Jang, but stickers 2 and 4 on the rear diffuser are actually reversed/upside down compared to the instructions and real car
Its a koenigsegg jesko, if you hate this set then see how fast it goes because it has a top speed of 300+
Actually driver with hairpiece fits.
A dream car, but nobody in Europe can afford it, so it's more or less for the arabian market... What a shame!
Ahh yes the Roblox jailbreak javelin
Hmm you play Roblox jailbreak
Yep
You removed based from the channel name? Very unbased.
Are there really supposed to be 3 spare 1x1 black curved tiles? This seems odd to me
I think "yesko" is more correct, because "j" is pronounced like "y" in german
Koenigsegg is Swedish, not german
Garbage-printed canopy ruins it for me. Great model overall, but that canopy just angers me to the point I'd just frown whenever I'd look at it on my shelf.
Yes good very good all over 🍌🙃
I noticed he changed the channel name. I'm guessing he wanted to avoid any political connotations?
This is a new channel
His original channel is still up
@@incognigo1670 I am talking about this channel. The name used to be "JANG's based LEGO reviews". He used 'based' to simply mean 'grounded', but the term is often also used in a very political context.
Or he changed it because lots of viewers didn't understand its meaning, including many native English speakers.
