Falcon 75192
" Wanted this set for a while, so delighted when it arrived. Firstly, you will require quite a large area to build this model. The box and manual are of great quality, just what you expect from Lego.
The instructions are very clear and a relatively straightforward build, but you do need to concentrate, to ensure you put the pieces in exactly the right places. If not, there will be an issue later.(I did have 1 small blip, although quickly resolved). The model of course with over 7500 pieces, does take some time to build, although this has been good due to the issues with COVID, to occupy my time.
You do need to be careful when picking up and moving the model, as it is heavy and best to do this from underneath as instructed. Also because the top panels are removable to access the internal compartments. My only small criticism is that there are some stickers, which I would not expect on a £650 set.

It is however a fantastic display model and looks great in the case that I purchase for it. I strongly recommend this model.

Poe Dameron X-Wing Fighter
" The model looked excellent from the pictures so was keen to purchase it and was not disappointed. The build, although straight forward was a pleasure to complete. I loved the contrasting orange and white colours of the the fighter, along with the selection of mini figures supplied. The moving features on the fighter are great and the fighter looks even more impressive, wh3n the wings are set in the open position. I also was pleased to see there was only 3 small decals for the fighter. Only small feedback, would have been to have a slighter bigger stand, although the model was not unstable. A definite purchase recommendation.

Delivering prestigious wins for the Prancing Horse in the world’s toughest endurance races, the Ferrari 488 GTE is a car like no other. Now you can create your own LEGO® Technic model version, complete with authentic design details – just like on the iconic original.
Faithful detailing
With amazing attention to detail, this racing car model is a true expression of Ferrari’s endurance racer. Features include front and back suspension, opening doors, a V8 engine with moving pistons and a steering wheel that steers the car. Original stickers and authentic colours add the perfect finish to this epic model.
Escape the ordinary
This set is part of a collection of LEGO building kits for adults who appreciate excellent design. A new hands-on project for yourself, or the ideal gift for a motorsport fan, this LEGO Technic building kit provides an immersive build with a beautiful display model to enjoy.

Lego Ferrari 42125
" The model looked good when launched and always a fan of the Technic range. Not the most difficult build from the Technic range, but still a joy to make. Some of the pages in the instruction manual could have been a bit clearer. It makes an excellent display model and enjoyed she a larger Ferrari model. I would have rated as a 5 apart from the excessive use of stickers. At this price point, I would have expected printed Lego pieces, like on the Sian and I hope that Lego will do this on future models.

Stormtrooper Helmet
" This was the first Star Wars Lego purchase I have made, with all the others either from the Technic or Creator ranges. This was a straightforward build and the model was sturdy and solid when completed. The helmet looks fantastic and I was fully aware of its size when purchasing it. I have also now arranged to purchase the other 2 helmets in the Star Wars range. I would happily recommend purchasing this item

Lamborghini Sian
" Wanted this model as soon as it came out but wasn’t prepared to pay £350. Waited and with 20% got it for £260. Opened the box and the packaging is superb. Also the other massive plus is there are no stickers, with all relevant pieces printed. This is something I have mentioned in previous reviews and I really hope Lego will continue with printed pieces. The build was challenging and yes there are some colour variations in the green bricks, although not a major issue for me. The up opening doors work well and look impressive along with the moving tailgate. Only have 2 downsides for me. One is that you have to take the boot lid off to see the engine rather have a hinged lid. The other like some other comments, is that, when I put the wheels on, the vehicle would hardly move, without gratin* plastic noises. I was not going to spend hours and hours to resolve, especially as I have displayed this model.
I would recommend£ this model, which does look extremely smart an£ impressive.

VW Beetle
" Had just completed the VW Campervan and liked the look of the Beetle, so bought this as well. This was a straightforward build, but was a pleasure to complete. The striking blue colour choice was excellent and the finish product was a superb replica of the Beetle. The additional touches made it look a fun beach car and makes an excellent display model. It would also be a joy for younger Lego fans to play with as well. The only small criticism would be that the surf board cannot be fixed to the roof of the Beetle like the cool box. However well worth a 5 star rating and a definite recommendation to buy

Lego Ducati 42107
" Ordered the Ducati as soon as available And took about a week to arrive. Started the build and only got to page 14, when I found that a piece was missing. This was very disappointing and it was the first time I have had a piece missing.(No it was not stuck in the bag as missing piece 8 to 10cm long). Ordered this and to be fair, this arrived pretty quickly. Once over this initial disappointment, I really enjoyed the build and the finished Ducati looks impressive. The stand is a nice touch, although construction of this, could be a touch sturdier to support the bike. Like other models, I would much prefer not to have stickers, but have the design imprinted onto the Lego pieces. Definitely worth a 4 star rating and would definitely recommend this model.
