- Here's my review of the LEGO 10321 C1 Corvette! An almost perfect LEGO set if not for some design afterthoughts and a price that objectively speaking, is the highest out of all the cars at this scale.

I would've been fine with the price/ price per piece if they had done the light grey in chrome like it should've been. Honestly as a huge Corvette enthusiast since I was born (born into it), I'll probably get it, but if there had been chrome it would've been a day one purchase for sure!
Where you literally born in a corvette on the way to the hospital?
@@magharibo Being born in a vehicle. One of the most common types of birth in Disney Channel series.
I'm surprised they didn't at least go with drum lacquered silver for this, since they tend to do that for this kind of set...very odd.
@@titanic_monarch796 yeah that would have been the obvious choice considering the lack of proper chrome these days
@@M0torsagmannen They usually use it for these sets (at least the ones I have) so it's pretty unusual that they haven't here.
Maybe they ran out of recolour budget? I can't really tell the reason.
Nice review Tiago! Your reviews are so useful and probably the most reliable reviews that currently exist on this platform.
Together with Sariel!
This is probably the best designed/looking of the large scale cars I've seen in a while. I do feel like that makes the value a bit more understandable, but yeah, I preferred it at around $130 tops
Are you joking? It is probably the most flawed, unfaithful, cheap, and ugly out of all the other models at this scale.
I think it looks cool, I'll be waiting for the test drive video
@@zaashtill1542 thank you !
That would be the truck still
@@zaashtill1542 you are correct
Dang…I dunno. Definitely major lost opportunity by using grey instead of metallic trim, and weird that they couldn’t print a new sticker for the rims. But it really hurts to see that they couldn’t recreate the actual lines of the car-the boxy, flat front end is a little jarring. Same with that major break going into the back end. With a car that is defined by those subtle arches, it makes me wonder if they should have attempted this one at all. I agree it looks cool, but it doesn’t seem to look like a corvette… Am I being too picky?
Great review!
Exactly, the curviness of the original car is just too hard to recreate in Lego, only because of the white side element it's recognizable as the Corvette
Unfortunately agree. They should have gone with a higher piece count to increase the pieces being used to recreate that iconic front end. Even if it meant a (reasonably) higher price point.
Doesn’t the square front end look more like a ‘57-58 Thunderbird after you refresh? Argh. Just feels even more wrong after looking back. Not that I’m some muscle car aficionado, but I’m definitely at least a fan, and every line is what distinguishes any one model/year from another…so maybe I’m more than most? But yeah, think this one hit wrong on a gut level.
Currently building two $200+ Lego sets, so…just saying that only to show I’m not trying to hate here! Lol. Just…argh. Ouch.
Yeah dude come on it's legos...it's incredible. It would blow any kids mind. Considering these are made for children...not for Corvette enthusiasts. Lol. I hate that it's jarring for you 😂😂
@@asherponna5476 Funny enough, the box for it says 18+
It looks cool :] my favourite part of the car is the body of the corvette
So your favorite part of the car is... the outside of the car?
Isn't that always the case, or do you usually prefer the engine?
As a GM guy, this set is almost an instant buy. That price tag does hurt, but the finished model is just so close to perfect I can't help but love it.
My grandpa had this exact car but he had it in tan but besides that same year and everything. I’m actually buying this set for him because I feel this would be a great piece for him to have and represent.
The front end looks like two surprised minions.
i cant unsee that now :((
I can see why LEGO does not make chrome silver (or gold) colored parts anymore, but they could have at least made the front and back detail parts in metallic silver.
Good review, thank you for all your hard work making these! They're very informative, brisk, and entertaining. Though I will say, the audio sounded a little... muffled?... In this one? Just a tad. Not sure if it was only on my end tho.
I haven't changed the setup! Maybe I messed up something during audio editing, thanks for pointing it out!
Your not alone ! He have a a voice tired
@@TiagoCatarino I think you recorded a little bit too close to the mic and too low, then compensated it with gaining the audio. Try using a Hard Limiter to gain audio without overcranking it. Love your content Tiago! :)
Even though the front is flat, this is still just so well done. It’s perhaps my own eyes tricking me, after all the first gen corvette is my favorite.
Despite being overpriced still looks a great building experience, and display model. Car overall looks great, and really like how it scales with the other class cars, new windshield/printed elements, and seamless functional trunk. Could've used a bit more finesse around the front, and hardtop section, especially for that price. While it's still less Lego than most of the Creator car lineup the value seems to be about the same in what you build, and that the only optional pieces not used are the alternate license plates/hardtop. The same can't be said for the Mustang, Porsche or even Camaro which in some cases leave you with a lot of extra never used.
pretty sure the 'new' 1x1 round is the saucer piece we've seen in white a few times since 2018. idk if it's ever been in transclear before tho
Yeah, I remember seeing it first in the Harry Potter CMF series in 2018, as a saucer for an also then new teacup piece.
Glad it's being released in standard sets.
Woah! I really thought it was new! My bad
Headlight element is the tea saucer from 2018, 38799.
My lord, isn't that an illegal building technique?
Palpatine: I will make it legal
Great review as always Tiago! Short, sharp to the point! I was waiting for a major design flaw cause you said this one was the worst but it ended up being the price. Will def get this one but will wait hur a sale or a good GWP.
Damn, almost a perfection. If the mid section of the car profile didn't look like it was squish to save space it would have been a perfection.
I believe that the transparent headlight pieces are simply recolored tea saucers (seen in the Muppets Collectible Minifigure Series).
I think the transparent headlight piece is just a transparent lego saucer element
Just no. The front end is all wrong. The hardtop is a joke. The price is ridiculous. There are stickers on a set where several print elements were used. I hope someone on rebrickable redoes the front end of this. There has to be a way to break up the obnoxiously straight frame edges. Thanks for the honest review. I spent all my money on the Hocus Pocus set with 3 promos for VIP Days anyway.
Yeah the curves don’t really match and the front looks uncanny
I am sitting here with a full cart, about to get myself a couple of promos as well. Pick-a-brick can take a week to 28 days, a lot slower than Brickowl, but double points and Blacktron made me do it - can't wait 😃
It’s got more of that 50s thunderbird front end look. Bummed!
The light isn't a new element it was used already twice, both times as a saucer in Minifig Series with Sybill Trelawney (white with print) and Waldorf (just white), but it is still a nice recolor
Was gonna say this too. It’s a new recolor, but not a new part.
I don't know too much about legal and illegal building techniques but maybe the piece on a print is not illegal because there is nothing on top of it?
in the example you showed, the lego logo introduces a small bump that means that if there's another piece holding them in position, then the logo will rub into the top piece.
On the corvette, there is no other piece holding down the transparent brick, so it doesn't push into the print, and doesn't damage it.
I think that transparent round plate is just a recolour of part 38799
We need a 57 Chevy set now
Classic Tiago, taking no prisoners
Parts over prints have never been illegal as far as I know. In fact, the Mini Cooper even had a sticker over a print. You just can’t squish a sticker inbetween two pieces.
The headlights are the teacup base piece that comes with one of the Harry Potter minifigures in the first series in 2018 just in a transparent color
Technically, the 10290 Pickup Truck is the cheapest of the Icons vehicles. People always forget about that beautiful model.
It's not a branded vehicle so it doesn't get the intelectual property taxes, thus making it cheaper!
Still have it sealed in box, not sure if I should open though!
It's insane how Lego curves have gotten recently!
You want curves? Give Titanic a go ... the hull build is insane!
Great set.
It will go well with the camaro set!
+I love the headlight piece. It will be very useful to make many car set or MOC.
I could see this being MOC’d into a Triumph Stag or an MGB as an alternative build!
This is my moms favorite car. As a good son I have to get it for her. Don’t worry I will build it for her :)
This is the way
As a Corvette fan. The lack of chrome is a real bummer. It's my favorite color!
"Wierd handle bar" - ahh yes, pre-seatbelts era :)
Curves? The front bumpers are too flat (like, completely) vs. the source.
Man, that is a sexy looking car. Love the alternate license plates! Very interesting to see the price comparisons with the other car sets....almost tempted to pull the trigger on getting the DeLorean. Good price per piece as well as minifigs of Marty and Doc? Yes please!
Way better prices before the summer price increases of 2022. Great set regardless, one of my favourites from last year! And right now theres a decent amount of gift with purchase sets to maybe bring the cost down a little if you end up selling them.
Ayyy Tiago agrees with my dislike of the hardtop design!! I feel validated!!
I wish they're going back to the scale of the first cars: the vw bus, the mini etc. . Would be good for the price also. And the price is where they miss me.
But whatever they do: let there be a Citroën DS or another classic model from this brand.
After the Ford Mustang printing issues, LEGO is printing parts for Icons Cars again? Bold move LEGO, bold move (but appreciated one)
I’m usually not interested in the Lego car models but I really like how this one looks. I’m not even a fan of Corvettes in general
the "stretched out stud" piece first came in the muppets cmf in white as a tea saucer, but still a cool reuse
For 2024, I'm forward-thinking into seeing a Citroen DS or 2CV! ;-)
can we get fewer set reviews and more master builder content. you know cool stuff about headlight bricks and the likes
precise, concise and very informative. not hyperenergetic nor lectury long and boring.
Welcome to my channel!
The headlights part was used in the muppets cmf as a teacup plate
I love the color so much!
Wow it's huge
Nice Video, good review❤ Love the set🎉
Great review for the set Keep up the Good Work Tiago 🎉
Thanks, will do!
I mean the color the curves and the brand 🔥🔥🔥
WOW! Nice work buddy!
I feel like lego should include the option for a hand of god steering to these type of builds.
You so could decide yourself if you want this to be a display set or something you'd drive around in.
1:04 wow what?!
I need measurements! that could be so useful!
It's a good set, but just feels like something is missing. Also that $150 price tag will probably scare away quite a few casual collectors
It's a nice price tag, looking at the $150 alone.
Every other Icons car, asides from the pickup truck is more expensive so for the uninformed costumer this will look like a great deal I wanna say!
Isn’t that pice 2:38 the one used under the lego mug pice?
Really great review! Very nice touch of using the banana elements for the back and the front.
Your reviews make me want to watch themes I'm not interested in. Great video Tiago!
I respect your opinion, Tiago, but I have to disagree on how this model is shaped--it's worse. Yes, the hard top is a miss, but an entire front 2/3rds of the vehicle looks bad.
2:04 shows the actual car's side profile, and of course LEGO has limitations, but everything from where the white inset begins to the front of the car is too straight and horizontal. All the swoopiness of the front fenders is gone. This is just not a good car to render with LEGO, at least at this scale, or in this rendition.
The only part that looks good is the back third.
Another great review - thanks! I wish the creator expert Ford Mustang was included more in these icons car comparisons. I just finished building it and it’s incredible with some awesome features. Great dynamic geometry.
@Clickonmyprofile-formoreInFo spam???
For me the Porsche one IS Still the Best of all
I really like it, but with it not being a c2 or c3 I probably won’t pick it up.
This set has the same price per piece as 7599 (now retired), which includes large bear and panels.
I believe the part used for the lights are not new. They seem to be the same as the tea saucer found in the Harry Potter CMF
A worthy opponent for the Mustang. I wonder if Mike Psiaki designed this too or who is the genius behind the build?
And for some reason in Lithuania shop it is even more expensive (165). Atleast partner shop prices are low, so it is possible to find assembly square for a little bit more than 150 euros...
Enjoyed your commentary! Value aside, this is such a beautiful model! I'm not a car person, so my perspective is not going to be too nuanced. However, this stokes the inner enthusist in me!!!
Hey Tiago can you do more videos like the headlight brick and jumper plate ones?
The headlight piece is I think actually the same as the tea plate from the original Harry Potter CMF series.
Well I guess the decision has been made for me for my next build.
Nice! I like it compared to all the cars that size. I always like your anti sticker opinion too!
Same as the Harley, using grey where they should have used chrome. And the grille just looks terribly off to me.
I have all of them but the Defender classic, plus the Mustang.
They all look great but the best overall IMO is the Ecto-1.
I'd list best and worst of each:
Ecto-1:
Best: looks. It's stunning
Worst: After some months, the swiveling seat doesn't work anymore, cause of too tight tolerances (It rubs against the floor)
DeLorean:
Best: Gullwing Doors and reclining wheels mechanism
Worst: these Bloody wheels fall off all the time if you play with It, they are too loose on the pins
Mustang:
Best: superb Door hinges mechanism, works and looks perfect
Worst: Doors fit too snug to the body, so they are sometimes hard to close
Camaro:
Best: colours options, very light steering to play with (cause of narrower wheels)
Worst: very difficult to open the Hood
911:
Best: difficult round lines matchrd very realistically and very nice engine
Worst: it's the simpler of the lot in terms of features
Corvette:
Well I just got It, no experience of It... But right off the bat I'd say I love the under-chassis-steering-rack technique and yes, the Chrome bits should have been... Chrome!
The Defender I suspect could be one of the best.. but hell it's expensive
for me i think the price is because of corvette brand..
hm how is the internal structure?..
is it worth it?
i think for the price they should have added domething special like less stickers and led bricks
So you’re complaining the Corvette is overpriced but it’s the cheapest of the 6 when you show the prices. If that’s overpriced, what are the other 5?
That "new stud" element is not new! Its a teacup dish!
The grey elements instead of chrome is a huge mistake. My 007 DB5 has chrome elements for the bumpers and that's not in this price range or piece count. At this price, these sets need to be impeccable.
The rear should have been a stud longer. The car is too stubby for my take when compared to the real vehicles
RED IS EVIL! Can you make a complete blue version with pick a brick parts?
Why is Lego so hesitant to use chrome ? It would take the attractiveness of this car (and all the other ones ) to the next level and somewhat negate the high price per piece
The front is really flat, no shape at all! Front axle's seem to bend? I'll hold my money for next car!
"Don't touch Lola!"
Only the best is good enough
Love it but it will be a wait for sale for me.
Yeah, you should!
0:36 The 10265 Mustang is still available as well.
Out of stock apparently. When that happens it's usually not coming back 🥲
Why is the rear view mirror transparent?
우와~ 출시전에 벌써 리뷰가 떴네요!
👏👏👏😆👍🏻😍
What's the price per weight ratio of the set? How does it compare to the other Creator cars?
Cool car 🚗 great review 👍
I really have a problem with the front. The curves of the original car just don't look good on this lego model, and it feels a bit like the uncanny valley of looking at a robot. I had the same issue with the Aston Martin James Bond car at this scale. Those are 2 of the most beautiful cars ever made and in my opinion don't look beautiful in Lego. And if I would display the model, I wouldn't be able to look past it 😕. If they ever do a Jaguar E-type I hope they get the curves perfecty right.
Cool! Big fan, I mean your a real LEGO creator! Plus your videos are always great quality.
Thanks! 😃
Wish they would make a Rimac concept two
Awesome set
But the price is too much
Prices are getting ridiculous
I have mixed feelings about this one. It would look amazing if it wouldn't have the headlights so weirdly mounted. There should really be some curvature around them
Every time Tiago complains about something, I know I will like it, and every time he praises another thing, I know I will not like it.
We're soul mates then
First 13 seconds. I dont know how to feel...
Im glad you like it Tiago😅
Please do the Lego Porsche 911
I'll buy it for 100 bucks.
Eventually, all cars drop to that price. Seems inevitable, which is nice.
Is it just me, or does he sound kinda sick
Oh no
There's a bot among us
Don't touch Lola
