As usual I love your reviews, and agree it feels like a cheap version of the Audi set. The biggest disappointment in these pullback motor sets is the lack of buildable ramp. Lego has done them before with these kinds of sets, and they were a great addition. Monster Jam set would have been perfect to include them, as monster trucks are known for using ramps in their stunt shows. Lego could even easily solve this issues by having a dotted "cut here" line on the box it comes in to provide us a ramp without needing to give us extra parts. So thanks for the review, and maybe if I do have the extra cash, I might pick this up for my younger family members.
I mean, the Audi set is like around seven times the price of this pullback set, so of course this set is gonna feel cheap. Although I've seen very harsh discounts on that Audi set where I am, almost half off at one point. Even so, this pullback set is just not good, and is very much a one-trick pony with how many steps back it goes compared to past sets of its type. Those past sets such as the Monster Jam ones are a lot cheaper, had cool B-models and both A and B-models looked pretty good and interesting.
I think that there is a part in new colour in this set. Technic, Panel Curved 3 x 5 x 3 24116 in this set is in Orange colour, while Brick link says it never appeared in Orange before.
Another great review, thanks Sariel. I am glad that it is not just me who is feeling that some of these sets are repetitive and maybe even a little dull. I have not seen much that I am looking forwards to for a while, except maybe the Kawasaki H2. Keep up the great work, have a great new year.
Another small set that is showing that we're missing partial fender panels for this scale that would be useful with some other pieces in front and in back of the wheel - current panels for this scale stretch upfront and to the back of the wheel and forcefully define the shape of the area. Side note: music in the first part of the video is really distracting.
@sariel Unsure if it's a problem your end, my end or youtube's, but there's only a few seconds of audio at the beginning and the rest of the vid is in silence
What I dislike about this and many more of the smaller scale Lego cars is that these sets discourage you from rebuilding them into something original. Having such a chunk of your parts to be unique panels and/or to have stickers on them limits your rebuild imagination to "A slightly different McLaren car". It feels to me that the very essence of Lego is missing from this kind of sets. Disappointing.
This set just looks really funky... It's just too squarish, has a raised front section for no good reason, has a front section that should have been about two pin holes longer, and could have had reduced clearance for its tires. I've never seen a car look less like a car when done in Technic.
I rather have an accurate representation of the product rather than a censored one because some people on the internet do not like some of the stickers... You don`t have to buy it, you can just leave it on the shelfs if you don`t like it.
@@theLGf Most clothing brands do make heavily use of modern slavery, and also are usually sponsors of sport teams. Therefore from your point of view you most likely not find a company which fits your high standards. I rather accept that the world is not all black and white, and therefore am not that morally opposed to the idea that maybe one of the sponsors may have slave owning practices. Especially when the people bringing this "problem" up most likely wear clothing made by modern slavery or have no idea where the products they buy or subsidize come from.

Yup, I remember the ‘Racers’ series of sets that came with ramps :0) loved them as a kid

I agree. And I'm waiting for this color :-)
7:58 sariel is only lego reviewer wich builded specific stairs to test legos durability thats a real dedication for the hobby
I want Lego to make normal everyday vehicles, like Toyota Highlander or Ford F-150. Put them in the $50 range.
As someone who’s had first hand experience working with these amazing vehicles during the 2022 season, I wish this set was much larger and detailed.
If I get it it's going to be for those tyres that I don't have and also that frame peice and other more rare parts
Tank you Sariel and thank you patreons!

Another great review 👍 are you gonna be reviewing any of the 2024 lego city line or do you have any specifcs if sets in general in mind?
Another great review 👏
I think it would have to be a much bigger set for it to have suspension because it would have to be made really durable.
Mr @searme can you make a complete list of all pull back technic lego sets? I'm trying to buy all the sets.. thank you
Like this one? brickset.com/sets/tag-Pullback-Motor/theme-Technic
thank you!@@searme
What kind of Lego was that at 5:31 that bumped the truck and kept going?
One of the bikes from LEGO Stuntz line.
@@searme ok thank you! I just started Lego after helping my nephew build his Lego gifts. After that I got addicted. Are the stuntz any good?
The bikes themselves are very playable and fun, it's just the Stuntz tracks that apparently don't work that well.
@@searme thanks!

Audio is fine for me, I guess the problem is on your end.
I had full sound throughout
I mean, most folks will be getting it because it's an Extreme E McLaren (ie me) but I agree that the design is rough and the features are lacking
What's the song on 7:25

In the final note you should add a rating for durability. This would have took 5 stars.
I thought no more lego sets review
So did I but then I got help from Patreon supporters.
Need some middle withe fake engine and moving front wheels)
Its electric it doesnt have an engine
These curved panels 24116 are new in orange
That's right, my bad. Good catch!

It's the kind of set that is bought by as a gift by people who know nothing about lego.
Un altro set penoso...
I think making anything to do with NEOM is a massive mistake on Lego's part given the company's shady business ventures.
I rather have an accurate representation of the product rather than a censored one because some people on the internet do not like some of the stickers...
You don`t have to buy it, you can just leave it on the shelfs if you don`t like it.
@@macdam11what do you mean. Are there no other car making companies to licence cars apart of McLaren who chose slave owning sponsor?

@@macdam11 I love how nothing can be criticized anymore without someone getting butthurt. It isn't censorship to call something out.
@@macdam11 "You shouldn't criticize slave labor because lots of companies use it" isn't the take you think it is.
Decent for £20. But my god it's ugly. Would benefit being in £50 ballpark and having a lot more detail.
Wth
