Customers have posted glowing feedback for the LEGO collections. One remarked about the Ferrari model: “LEGO was my favourite toy as a child, and I was looking for a new hobby. Loved building this and have ordered two more models.”
Meanwhile, a second commented: “Very solid build and looks great when fully put together. Speed Champions has always been a great theme, and this set further shows that.”
One buyer knocked off a star for the vehicle, noting that while “this was my first Speed Champions set and I was impressed with the level of detail, especially around the rear diffuser and exhausts”, they did encounter some difficulty with certain stickers.
On the whole, however, most were satisfied with what they’d bought. One enthused about the Monsters, Inc. figures: “I love Monster Inc, one of my favourite Pixar films, when I saw this, I had to pick it up. Love it.” Buyers can browse the LEGO ranges on offer in the run-up to Easter.
