Just finished building mine. It was missing a few pieces, which was a bit disappointing. I had to use Blue Tack to get around that. Some pieces were malformed, but didn't affect the build. The some of the stickers were not properly cut, so I had to use a hobby knife to cut it out. A lot of pieces took quite a lot of effort to put together. It was a fun build and considering that I only spent like 20% of a proper LEGO kit, it was a good deal.
I just made 1. It was almost perfect outside of discolouration on the sticker which was minor. And just 1 brick was faulty and i had a lot leftover in spares. For 40 euro I think it is a 4.8 star

Great videos! I always wanted to try one of these aliexpress technic sets. Finally bought this one for the build, and then to scavenge for technic parts since i dont have a single one 😅
Love these aliexpress fake technic builds! And i just ordered one. I recomend to build 42159 set, cause it is really fun to build, well atleast i enjoyed it and it has some new pieces.
You know the quality isn't lego level and some pieces were hard to stick togerther but i think it"s worth buying still for the price kind of a bargain! :D
Thanks ! I love your fake lego review. If I would buy real ones I would go broke. I buy them from time to time when I save enoigh from buying from ALiexpress. So thanks ! I hope you will add more .
They seem to have changed the chain. Mine is gray and not yellow, which isn't a problem for me personally. Also: Is there a blue protective film on the windscreen or is it tinted blueish?
I finished mine the other day but one of the parts in the gearbox was bad out of the box.. actually it came with a couple of defective parts but i got it taken care of. My first gearbox assembly. It shifts really hard, and the tires rub the fenders but I don’t even care coz it looks good and I enjoyed myself. The 5th bag had an unusual amount of hair in it.. well any amount of hair is unusual. Some of the white parts have small specks of black in em.. totally not noticeable. I got it on sale for like $28. After I ordered it, I totally didn’t think they were going to send what I ordered but, 8 days later it showed up…. And it was what i picked.. for $28 Best deal ever
Thanks for your comment - it sounds like you have approached the set with the correct mindset. Any issues you need to think outside the box & remember you paid a fraction of what Lego would cost. Hopefully it hasn't put you off making more purchases. Are you thinking of getting any more, if so what sets?
@@HashtagMediasince then i have gotten the Ford GT, Ford Raptor, Ducati, i also got the Peugeot, and Dom's Charger. they are all pretty nice.. a missing part here and there but, once again, i don't mind. i actually bought the Sian, Ferarri, rsr Porsche and helicoptor but, they were taking too long so i ended up canceling them.. if it's not on it's way to me after a week, then it's not at their warehouse and it's gonna take weeks and that don't sit too well with me.
I just picked one up for $20 we’ll see what arrives the pictures in the reviews looked the same as Lego so I Bought it . I also picked up the benz technic for $20 instead of $200 we’ll see I’ll update yall when I get it
Thanks for the review. I just bought one myself and have a question. The 2 rubber bands used for the engine are the ones inside the bag with the wind screen? Thanks!
Hi mate, thanks for your comment - Yeah i am pretty sure thats the ones, from memory i think that set only has two bands so it will be those - happy building. Let me know how it goes?
Hi, it's all down to the rating and how many they have already sold - I like to check the reviews and see if anyone has posted pictures. Keep away from stores with zero rating and no recent sales. Hope this helps.
Mine arrived this week and so far I only have the engine built, however my gears don’t seem to change they’re just stiff and stuck on one fixed position
I paid just under $19 for mine, and it went together nicely. The sticker sheet was wrinkled, but not catastrophically so and the outer lip of the front wheel got mangled in one place, about 1/4 inch. I hid that part of the wheel under the front fender, so not really an issue. The chain was tedious, and feeding it through the frame was a bit tricky. I doubt paying $200 more would have eliminated these niggles. Well, stickers and the minor wheel boo-boo aside.
Thanks for your comment. I have seen it and I haven't been too impressed with the new one. I am not sure how I feel about it not having any bodywork. I will go to to the lego store to see if I can see one in person and if I like it I will order one. Keep an eye out on the channel to see if I get one.
i designed some wall mount display prints for most of the lego technic sets, including this one. if you think you'd like this idea them let me know and i'll send them to you.
It is made by a big factory in china which copies lego without the lego logo, the instructions say N instead of M but the build itself was great for me and there was no fault in the model itself
very happy to watch these videos. Just became aware of buying on aliexpress and as you stated in the video...those massive markups on real lego just are not it. I ordered the Saturn V rocket, the Discovery Space Shuttle and the Breaking Bad camper. Hope my experience is as good as this one!
Hi, thanks for your comment - this is on my list, I like to get a festive themed set for Christmas. ill order it within the next few weeks. Keep an eye out for the video.

Hi, I’ve ordered this one and got the same manufacturer. Can I ask was all your stuff complete and was it in the correct bags. I so far can’t even do step 1 because I can’t find any of the standard black pins. I have ordered some spares after getting refunded anyway but interested to hear about yours ?
I had a lot of bad parts too.. one of the front shocks was in pieces and wouldn’t snap back together.. had to crazy glue it. One of the gear selectors was bad, and a couple other things, but it was worth it
@@ineedfiles I was missing all these black and blue connectors, but they were in another package... Do you know if the windscreen has a protective film on it? Mine looks blue ish, but I don't know if that's normal

I found these rubbers in the bag numbered 4, maybe they always put them in the different bags
How do you choose which seller to buy from on Aliexpress?

Since you did the batman tumbler review, could you do the batman 1989 batmobile (not the cheap replica) its about 90€, thanks for your job
Hi, thanks for your comment. I will add that one to my list to get next, thanks for the suggestion and keep an eye out for the video.
Mine arrived this week and so far I only have the engine built, however my gears don’t seem to change they’re just stiff and stuck on one fixed position
Te llegó en caja??
I think the rubber band/ belt is weak and not holding those fingers tight enough to actually switch the gear. I think imma order some originals

Any chance you could review the Ecto 1? 10274.
Hi, thanks for your comment - that is one I already have my eye on. Keep an eye out on the channel, I'll get it ordered soon.
What are the measurements of the dimensions of the box?
No box
Please do the new Yamaha in the same scale when it is released.

@@HashtagMedia Yes show us
Does anyone know if this says Lego on any of the pieces ?? How do they compare to real Lego I’m curious
It is made by a big factory in china which copies lego without the lego logo, the instructions say N instead of M but the build itself was great for me and there was no fault in the model itself
where to buy in India
You can’t there
If you really want it go to some another country like hk or uae
