Great, but still have room to improve
" I am writing the review right now, but I actually got this set about a mouth ago...
When TLG first released the images of this car, I had already spotted the axe pieces from Nexo Knights, and my mind was blown. I was so surprised that those pieces are used like this. Additionally, I was also super glad getting the 70336 Ultimate Axl, which has the yellow axe pieces, about years ago.
Before building it, I had watched many reviews discussing about the issues of this model, like colors, proportion, and piece-selection, etc.. This is my first Speed Champions set. Honestly, I wasn't thinking about that much. I thought those issues were not big deals.
Compared to the sets I had bought, this set has too many stickers. (I know 75885 Ford Fiesta M-Sport WRC has more) I (also) know that TLG has to make many custom printing rubber stamps, which cost lots of money and are hard to preserve, every years. I think making those printed pieces can add more value to the set and make people appreciate it more. Let's hope there will be a flagship street car which has no sticker every half-year. (I know this can be impossible and unfair to those car companies...)
About other part of the car, its width is too short or its length is too long. I tried to pull the wheels outward to fool myself that this car is 8-studs wide, and it worked a bit? Maybe? Currently, I do not have any spare piece to fix it on my own. I opened my LDD, and realized the grey mudguard pieces are new and exclusive to the set. There is a gap, which has the size of one by two plate, to fit the windshield.
Overall, this is still a great set. It was absent in my last few visits to The Lego Store, and I don't think I have to give it a reason. Many rare colors and pieces are included to satisfy the great Lego community, including those who love advanced model. So, who says a small $15 set cannot be "that" advanced?

Delightful set to get
" When Lego first introduced the Disney Princess theme or whatever it was called, I was looking forward to get a Frozen set like this.
To be honest, this set does not have any complex structure that can fascinate me (since I am an architecture major student), but it keeps reminding me some good old Lego sets gotten from my parents when I was young.
There is no sticker which means those beautiful decorated pieces are printed. I really appreciate what Lego has done to this set. About the animal, I am not a big fan of horses, so I do not mind the differences between the movie and the set. What about Princess Anna? I say I love it. I can tell Lego had put many effort to recreate Princess Anna's coronation hairstyle and outfit.
Overall, it is a great set. "
