LEGOTechnic Porsche 911 RSR Race Car Model Building Kit 42096, Advanced Replica, Exclusive Collectible Set, Gift for Kids, Boys & Girls

It was a gift to my daughter and she was super surprised and excited. She is into building legos and cars so this was the perfect gift. The bags did have numbers to follow when building it so it took a bit to separate the pieces. Overall, it’s worth every penny and once it was completed it looked super awesome. Bought the frame and some lights to add to it too

Great graphics and well made. A joy to see all the workings of the real thing.

This was my first technic build and it was easy to follow instructions and complete the build without issues.A kid would love to get their hands on this, but they definitely need experience.

I've wanted this Lego set ever since it came out back in 2019. I never really had a chance to get it, especially since Lego raised the price recently from $150 to $180. During Prime day I saw a deal on it that brought it down to $126, which was an insane deal. So I immediately bought it. Now honestly since I wanted this set for so long I knew I would love it. The finished build looks amazing and looks really big for only being a retail $180 set. It has working steering, suspension, & pistons. Although the set looks amazing, the majority of what makes it look good is the stickers. A lot of stickers. I'm a pretty experienced Lego builder so these stickers weren't too bad for me to put on, but for kids or inexperienced builders it'd probably be pretty hard to put on all these stickers. I think in total there's 53 stickers in the set. The only other thing that bothered me besides the stickers was that there were literally no number bags. If you've built a bigger Lego set before, you know that each bag is numbered to make it easier to build. But for this set you literally just have to dump out all of the pieces and try to find the correct piece and it takes forever. I ended up having to sort my pieces to make the build easier on me. If the stickers aren't a problem and you're fine with the bags not being numbered I would definitely recommend this set, just not for $180. I would maybe consider it at $150 but if you can find a deal like I did, it's well worth it.

One of the best legos. Perfect gift for boys

If took my son 4 days to put it together. Pictures are with the Bricksmax lights that are sold separately. Instructions are clear. All pieces were in the box. These technic blocks make the car more durable than the normal Lego blocks. Tires move, steering moves, and the pistons and crankshaft move. It has a working differential in the rear.

My 6 years autistic son took 2 days to build it.

The media could not be loaded. This build was a bit of a love/hate relationship for me. I waffled between 3 and 4 stars for a long time but I’m settled at 4. Fair warning, if LEGOs addiction to stickers on builds is a pet peeve...there are 2 full sheets of them with this kit and they are on all the vital bits of the car including all the Porsche badging. I just went with it since most race cars have decals all over them. In THIS case, it seemed authentic to the build type.First, the consThe build has over 1500 pieces and a lot of them are tiny. That isn’t the con...the con is that the bags are not numbered and they do not seem to follow any logically pattern. What this means is, you will have to open ALL of them at the beginning of the build. Yes, you read that correctly. You’ll have all of these tiny pieces that will need sorting and storing as you build. As an adult with a hobby room, it wasn’t the end of the world. As a 10 year old kid...that’s a big ask in a lot of cases! I used zip sandwich bags and little plastic cups to sort the pieces into. I recommend the resealable bags to keep tiny bits safely stored in between build sessions!The second con was the instruction guide. I would highly recommend the digital version be used on a tablet. The book was difficult to decipher at times and I had to rely on my knowledge of hundreds of previous builds to decipher exactly what the picture was trying to convey. Depth and relationships to other pieces were oddly distorted. The downloadable guide was more true to color and could be manipulated for alternate views.The ProsThe build is remarkable accurate! I loved getting to build a 6 cylinder boxer engine. The models accurate depiction of the engine block and the intricate gear system that make the pistons move as you move and steer the vehicle brought out the gear head in me!It’s also a big build! The size of the completed car was a cool surprise.The lightweight frame was perfect and the front and rear detailing made the build. I loved the back wing and give LEGO huge marks for the interior details. It makes these Technic builds a cut above that the interiors that you’ll likely never see again once the roof goes on are as kitted out and accurate as the exterior body pieces.Overall, I landed at a 4 on this one. I would recommend this one to any petrol head or racing fan. My build tips would be the resealable bags for the parts and taking the time to do a proper sorting before you launch into the build. Trust me, that boring prep work will save your sanity in this one!
