I think, this scale isn´t really suited for recreating reale life cars with more complex shapes. If they marketed this as a generic green car with those functions and fpr 15--20$ less, it would have been great. I generally think that they should return to generic cars (at least at this scale and price range) so they can create shapes that work well, with functions that work well and at a price, thats worth it.
Absolutely. It doesn't even look close to the real one. McLaren was sorta okay but still. It would be better to have a separate pull-back and maybe slightly bigger licensed set.
I'm glad the ratchet isn't integrated into the motor, since having the mechanism be made out of pieces means there's an actual mechanism you build, unlike a lot of technic cars
Wow man I miss the times when Lego released Technic sets that were actually good, and had some cool functions, modeled after real life stuff that wasn't to crazy to replicate, and promoted creativity. What happened? In the last 2-3 years the only big good set I've seen that is not overpriced is the Volvo Articulated Hauler. And most of the medium and small ones sucked too, except the Race Plane, that's amazing :))
The launch system actually makes this car incredibly realistic... If by realistic we're simulating a high schooler with rich parents buying them a Shelby, and then them trying to act big in a drag race and dumping the clutch only to stall the car...
Seems like (from what we can see in the video) using the rear wing as the launch lever would have been simple enough, and a big improvement. Can't see me buying this set, but if I that mod would be my first task. Thanks for the great review.
I don't like the step that LEGO is taking of releasing these type of cars. I can see the potential of this new feature but the implementation of it in this set is pretty underwhelming. If they added the function of previous technic cars like opening doors and steering plus this new feature then it would be alot better IMO! Nice video as always!
Despite the lack of functionality, I love the design. I'm currently assembling my first Lego Technique car, ford gt, and I'm going to buy a Ford Mustang for my next
This is a mullet car, business in the front and play in the back. It’d also be great if steering was present with some kind of mechanism to lock the wheels while using the main function.
It fits the car transporter so I can at least display it, shame it’s a pull back would of preferred a simulated engine and steering, I defiantly wouldn’t be paying £45 for it, the lowest the I saw the Corvette reach was about £20.
My exact thought. If it fits I'm going to buy it with the usual discount from 35%-4x% probably more on the 40% side because I don't feel the urge to have it and space on the transporter is already limited. The Porsche however is a definite pass for me
Even before this review, I always had the worry this set was going to be a few steps backwards from the brilliant parts-heavy McLaren Senna GTR and even the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. This Shelby and the Porsche 99X feels somewhat basic at this price level, especially next to the Jeep Wrangler and McLaren Senna GTR sets from earlier this year, which not only have far more pieces and stuff going on with them but are cheaper now. Granted it's cool this and the Porsche 99X Electric have two pullback motors instead of just one to compensate for the extra amount of pieces and weight over the smaller pullback sets. But they fundamentally don't do much different besides being bigger and having a release mechanism. This is compared to the Monster Jam sets which do near enough the same thing, even if they're smaller models, but are far less costly.
@@joeroth1124 it makes jeep wrangler seem like a worthy set. At least it had steering, suspension. Hell, even opening door and hood meanwhile there's this abomination with just 2 pullback motors and a rachet.
Personally think it doesn't look too bad at the scale, but so wish this had been built in the same scale as last years Raptor or even Boatmobile. Doubling the pullback motor seemed a good idea at the time, but as demonstrated here, it needs to be reliable, and the model strengthened for this kind of bump, and go play. Normally not a problem with display models, but kinda sucks having to stop, and rebuild during regular play. Best thing about this is the additional pieces to complete the model rather than having it look ugly from the rear on display.
The set looks good with the pieces and pull back setup but I like it with steering that the Corvette ZR1 and McLaren Senna GTR have, its much more fun and u can see the pistons as well but the pull back thing is great but u have to pull it back at all
Thanks a lot for the honest review, especially the ratchet mechanism and the look... It's sad that only every second car in this line can look good (I assume 42137 looks good, as McLaren Sienna). I don't think it's any way AFOL-orientated line, I'd buy it only for parts
I wouldn’t say it looks good if you try to compare it to the real car, but it looks cool for a Lego car. The mechanism looks interesting even though it’s flawed.
Despite the front part looking ugly and having just 2 pullback motors and a rachet as a function, I'm glad they left enough space inside so we can fit steering, differential and working engine. However I'm assured Porsche is a total failure, I don't know can you even fit steering inside of it and that's sad because all of the cars this size have at least steering and working engine or suspension. Yes it fits on 42098 and that's cool but what's the point of it if you can't even park it?
I had half an idea about buying this set but, considering the price and the lack of at least basic functions (e.g. steering wheels, opening doors, engine as in the brilliant McLaren Senna), I'll save my money for something else. Well made review as usual.
I don’t think it looks to bad, I just don’t understand why they didn’t integrate the ratchet release into the spoiler or something!? As for the un matched colors of the stickers, that’s just poor quality on Lego and I expect much better from them.
while obviously the looks and everything like that are a matter of preference, i believe you may have gotten unlucky, since my model launches without issue 99% of the time, and as far as i can tell, the stickers and connectors on mine match the color.
I'm a BIG Mustang fan, i build the Creator Expert in coupe and convertible, and was sort of curious on this one, but..... i think i'll skip. Without the stickers, you can't tell it's supposed to represent a Shelby.
Matching stickers with plastic is always hard. Even while it doesnt seem like it, you need competely different color for both, due materials difference. There is whole part of industry that deals only with matching colors on different stuff. Also LEGO might have some color limits too (as it cant be toxic even remotely). What bothers me on this model is launch method, this trigger aint that hard to incorporate directly into body (I would probably use rear spoiler as trigger). Instead this pull apart nonsense.
Disappointing colour differences in-between parts and especially the green on the stickers is a shame for a world company ☹️😢 it would be so easy to make transparent stickers where you only attach white and black and pull off the transparent part....
I agree with the looks. I dont understand why some sets turn out horrific ( Corvette and Mustang ) and some turn out incredible ( Mclaren Senna ). I have all three and the corvette and mustang are SO disappointing to have on display... whereas the Mclaren is pretty good...
I really think Lego Technic is heading in the wrong direction. I'd rather have stylized sets with intresting functions than bad looking licensed cars with fewer and fewer functions..
I,ve already designed rc chassis for this model, just can't wait to buy it and use project to control it via buwizz. Great video, and model with great potential.
Hello, could you please use youtube's subtitles instead of hardcoding into video? I often pause video to read them, but they are covered by progress bar and video controls. RUclips built in subtitles move up once the video menu is shown.
Honestly, this and the corvette don't feel finished. The fact that you have to disassemble the rear to use a feature makes me wonder if they had a strict time budget which they ran out on. How close is this to your drift-mustang in scale?
I just don't get these sets. Even when I thought the Vette and Senna were underwhelming, at least they still were proper Technic sets. This is just a play set that doesn't play that well, aimed at kids at an age that in my experience don't care anymore about a simple pullback function. It would be much more interesting if they would introduce an affordable, universal add-on set for remote control that could be easily implemented in any of these cars. Now that would be something every 9 year old kid would love.
@@gkbrickworks7924 _Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man._ 😜 But no matter what you think of the looks, functionality indeed was fine for the price point. And to me that's what Technic is all about. The smaller and cheaper pullback sets are perfectly fine because they're aimed at a different age group, but I just don't get these new sets.
I feel you I just don't get what's the supposed target group. As a kid I would go for two monster truck pullbacks and even spare 10 buck's. For a 50 set it really does to less for the price. And Afols or teens wouldn't need the pull back at all
@@brickchef8282 I absolutely agree. Not only do 2 of those monster trucks offer way more play value for less money, but those are also 7+ sets, versus 9+ for these bigger sets. I actually do have a 9 year old nephew who loves Technic, but ever since he got the Boost set and the PF Stunt Racer, he couldn't care less about a pullback motor.....
I think you are a bit harsh when saying it looks bad, which you often do, to me this model is recognizable as a Mustang. It's definitely not perfect, but then looks is not really what Technic is about. The fact that it only really has one function and that it seem to be flawed is what makes it bad to me. Technic should be about seeing the mechanical stuff. Gears, pistons, and so on in motion. Lego has lost track of that I think. Maybe it's time to let Technic go back to that skeletal style where you can see the inner workings and start a new line of models that use technic stuff at the core for structure and functionality but with regular system pieces on the outside to make them look good.
the 2 pullback motors make this model unnecessarily expensive. 50 euro for a pull-back car that does not work how it should, and has almost no further features...(would have been nicer when the car had a fake engine like the corvette, opening doors and steering wheels (which you could lock when using pull-back motor), and the option to combine it with 1 of the monster trucks or other sets with pull-back motor or even the option to make it electric with an upgrade set. that way the base price would be much lower. and the options would be there to make it how each likes it better. ( the way we used to have with the power function sets).
Czysty fakt. Ten zestaw nie powinien być Pullbackiem. Porsche jeszcze rozumiem bo to samochód elektryczny wiec tłoków tam by za bardzo nie mogło być. Ale Mustang to zwykły samochód. Nie rozumiem dlaczego Lego poświęciło skręt, tłoki i dyfrencjał żeby zrobić z tego Pullbacka.
I'm sorry but this just looks like a bad chinese knock off. It's flimsy, discolored and doesn't work properly. If only the price would reflect the quality. Anyone that's seriously buying this for $50 is insane. I feel like with every new set Lego releases they're taking a further step back
What a horrible set. First - please remind me what line is it? Louder? TECHNIC?! No way. No functions whatsoever apart from pin-shredding shit-of-a-lock for the pullback. Feels like made for 3-year-old children as the lever is absurdly large, has distinctive color ("aim here") and collapses under the force of anybody over 10 years of age. And finally - looks utterly horrible and does not resemble the original licensed car (apart from rear headlight... stickers). Quo vadis, LEGO?!
I hope is a joke...this is not a technic set...this is an ugly set without functions...too many technic cars in latest years...want something different..

I really hate they made this pullback. At least it has a lever to "launch" and the pullbacks are double.
Nice video as usual
Yeah same here, why doesn’t Lego motorize sets more often
I think this scale of cars is briliant, but boy did they make a mess of this
The 2020 gt500 is my favorite muscle car, and they didn't do it justice with this set
I'm glad the ratchet isn't integrated into the motor, since having the mechanism be made out of pieces means there's an actual mechanism you build, unlike a lot of technic cars
I would prefer a ratchet that actually works. And LEGO has totally made wind-up motors with internal ratchets already.
@@searme True. A I remember having a firefighter helicopter that had an auto coil-up ratchet, and you just had to push a button

I think it should have togglable steering like in the 42054 Claas Xerion set or being able to lock front axle in place
The launch system actually makes this car incredibly realistic... If by realistic we're simulating a high schooler with rich parents buying them a Shelby, and then them trying to act big in a drag race and dumping the clutch only to stall the car...

I wouldn’t say it looks good if you try to compare it to the real car, but it looks cool for a Lego car. The mechanism looks interesting even though it’s flawed.
