Another great Speed Champions LEGO set

Great LEGO set.I'm really excited that Amazon is now offering LEGO sets from the Speed Champions theme. Previously, the Speed Champions theme was only available via Toys R Us and LEGO, however, with Toys R Us going out of business, it would appear that Amazon has picked up this theme as well.This particular LEGO Ferrari set has an 'official product' license sticker on the bottom of the box... how cool!The coloring on this set looks great and the level of detail is through the roof. For the price, you honestly can't go wrong with the Speed Champions sets. The vehicles are very accurate to the models they are meant to portray, and the designs are excellent. Additionally, this vehicle's wheels turn smoothly and it looks great in our LEGO city. BONUS: This set comes with two types of wheel covers which give you some flexibility to personalize the completed look. The vehicle looks awesome in person, so don't just rely on the pictures, because they really don't do this Ferrari justice.Make note, the Speed Champions builds typically include lots of smaller LEGO bricks, so you've been warned if you have young brickers who may need assistance.One negative that exists with the Speed Champions LEGO sets is that they come with lots of stickers. I know LEGO uses stickers as a means to increase realism while keeping the price down, but this is definitely something to consider when it comes to who builds this LEGO set. A young bricker is going to need assistance applying the many stickers. This particular set is extra heavy with stickers. Possible LEGO hack... don't use all the stickers and the vehicle will still look great.You may want to also check out these LEGO Speed Champions sets: LEGO Speed Champions Porsche 919 Hybrid 75887 Building Kit (163 Piece), LEGO Speed Champions 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback 75884 Building Kit (183 Piece), LEGO 75880 Speed Champions McLaren 720S Building Toy, 161pcs, Orange/Black.Lastly... something I'd like to share that most Amazon customers don't know about. If you're looking for LEGO and you're not overly interested in the condition or quality of the box, I would recommend that you check out Amazon Warehouse Deals. In the Amazon search bar, simply type in 'warehouse deals' and then type in LEGO. This will then populate your screen with items that AWD is selling for a reduced price. AWD is a great alternative if you're wanting to score new LEGO for a cheaper price.How it works: A LEGO box gets damaged during delivery or while in transport in the warehouse, Amazon then ensures the contents are undamaged and still in perfect condition. Then Amazon sells that item for a reduced price due the damaged packaging. In other words, if you don't care about the LEGO box, then this is a great way to get brand new LEGO for a reduced price due damaged packing. And, because LEGO are basically indestructible, this doesn't impact the ability to enjoy the new LEGO set.Thank you for reading. Hopefully this review was helpful to you. If so, please let me know below. Also, be sure to check out my many other LEGO reviews. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to leave a comment.Happy bricking!Ver más

Another stallion for the rich Ferrari stable.

This is another well built LEGO race car. The 488 GT3 is a fun build with lots of interesting shapes. There are a lot of stickers, but that is to be expected with a race car that is covered with decals. You can get away with only the headlight and engine stickers if you really don't like using the stickers. The car is predominantly red with only a little white and black added on here and there.In the Speed Champions Ferrari Ultimate Garage 75889 you get a 488 GTE. This GT3 is nearly identical to the GTE, except for the color choices. There are a few changes around the door area, and the sides of the spoiler. If you have the 488 GTE already, this is not an improvement on the previous version. It is just fun to have a few different cars in the Ferrari stable for racing as a team against other brands.As a stand alone model, this is a great car. If you already have the 488 GTE, you may not need this one as well, but it does have a different enough look with the majority of the car being in red. It is a fun build, and a good display piece.Ver más
