NifelizHOONIKEN Model Car Set, Colletible Building Toy for Adults, for Car Lovers and Muscle Car Fans (3141 Pieces

Overall, this set is an excellent value. Some of the pieces, particularly the half-pin, half-axle pieces lack clutch strength. I was not missing any pieces. I did have one broken piece (a large angular body piece on the rear of the driver side), but it is in a position that a real drift care would get damage, so I am okay with it. The instructions were clear, but the assembly is challenging. This set will probably be frustrating for the impatient or careless. The fender flares are a clever design, but they do not stay on very well. You have to be careful picking it up - I have knocked pieces off multiple times (the floorboards around the cockpit are held together with regular studs and are not very sturdy). I ended up omitting some cosmetic pieces around the center console that are held on by a single stud - they fell off multiple times and don't add much value. My set doesn't roll very well, I think I have a misaligned axle in the drive train, but I am just going to display this, so I won't bother to fix it (probably close to starting over). In general the colors and piece quality is comparable to the market leader's.I am not a big fan of stickers, but the ones in this set are pretty good. The majority of them have an over-sticker to help with the application. I was generally able to get them on where I want them. These stickers are better than the market leader's. I don't like the stickers on the tires. They don't feel as secure as the other stickers. I also don't like that many stickers span multiple pieces - no disassembly permitted.The trademark infringements are hilarious. They differ enough to show that the company knew what they were doing was wrong, but not so much that the implicated brands are unrecognizable. The product is high enough quality that the trademark owners ought to be happy with the free advertising, but we all know they won't be.I probably spent 30 hours building this set, and had a lot of fun putting it together. I've already ordered another set from Nifeliz, so you know I liked it. I wouldn't recommend this for a child unless they are extremely patient and careful.

Up until now, I have been exclusively purchasing only lego sets. The problem is that the price of those sets is getting out of control. I remained on the fence until I heard that Nifeliz was releasing a 1:8 scale mustang and it was going to be an homage to racing legend Ken Block. I was impressed by the attention to detail in the packaging, the part bags being numbered in conjunction with the step numbers in the manual, the manual is high quality print with detailed instructions, and it came with both regular stickers and transfer decals. Mine had all the parts and all the parts had good fit and function. The build was challenging. I loved that it would show some assembly steps and what your goal was but it left it to you to get the parts assembled. I feel that is where the 16+ comes in. I know there are some that would say the instructions may not be clear but I felt this was intentional so that the individual builder could be creative in achieving the result. The end result is an impressive beast of a model. It gets positive comments from all the see it. All this at a fraction of the cost lego charges. You get a lot more for a lot less. To all those folks that I have seen post about adding motors to this kit, it would take some serious rework to make this happen. This is a BIG model and is HEAVY. You would need to beef up the drivetrain, steering, and suspension. Frankly, the thought of this model zooming across the ground is scary. Again, I love the thought and detail that John Wick and his team put into this build. The ‘HOONIKEN’? Perfect!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Been waiting this buid since last year but was iffy about it. But Finally gave in and got. 10/10 really enjoyed the build plus the car looks amazing when fully completed even know I was missing a few pieces.

This was a fun build. No missing parts and the instructions are good. The only issue was the front wheel assemblies would not stay together. A little bit of super glue fixed that. Otherwise this would have been 5 star.

This is a great project, took my son a week to assemble it. Detail is amazing but it’s not for a child

It's big set. But fitment in some of the peices is horrible. Either too loose and the peices slip off each other or you need pliers to squeeze the peices together. Steering is off. Wheels are "toed" out and I went though the steering several times. And the over fender design is horrible and doesn't stay in place with those rubber rods. Need to glue the rod into the peice for it to stay.Update after finishing the car, dropped it to a 1 star. Front tires hit the body /fender area ans prevent the car from rolling. Front of Roof (a pillar) doesn't reach the lower mounting area. Peices almost have to be disconnected from each other so the roof can be mounted. Stickers are also horrible removing the protective film. At times it pulls up the decal with the film. Cool and iconic car, but I'd rather spend some more money and buy it from a different manufacturer

Super fun to build! Such an iconic car and this build did it justice really well. It was probably a good 8-12 hours of fun with a super good instruction book, easy to use pieces, and a great quality model. The stickers are obviously designed to be close to original without infringing on copyright things, but they were done tastefully and would go unnoticeable to most eyes. You can also find a nice sticker set on eBay that's a more exact replica to really bring together this build. Highly recommend and will certainly be buying this brand again!

What a fun challenging car. Love the way it turn out. Lots of stickers but highly recommend that won’t break the bank.
