Recently I bought the McLaren F1 set on Aliexpress and it was amazing and huge, no parts were missing. Thanks for the video, Daytona would be my next order from Aliexpress
18:00 I'm glad to see you using that hammer, it is actually needed! Also long nose pliers are needed, and an old small kitchen knife is great to get between technic parts to get the apart if you mess up a step, I know from experience lol
I just purchased two sets of Lego's from aliexpress and they should be arriving soon! The excitement got me searching and I landed on this gem. Love the way your explained everything and how excited you are! PS: This might just be my next set. Do you mind sharing the link or adding it on the group description? Thanks! :)
You'll really enjoy putting those together. The best bit of advice I can give you is, dont rush like I did. Its a horrible feeling when you realise that you have to partially dissemble the model because you realised you missed a part out or used the wrong bit. Ive now put a link on the decription.
This is why when possible, I do spend the extra $3-5 and get the version with the physical instruction book. Most of them are condensed to some extent, but they usually do come with 1:1 part diagrams so you can quickly make sure the axle is of the correct length. Also you probably don't need to email the seller for the pdf since it looks identical to the one that you can just download off Lego's website.
I do like prefer the PDF version of instructions but as it gives me the ability to zoom in at times for detail. I never knew that it could be downloaded from the Lego site though. Thanks
@@ziggy6151 When you go to the product on the Lego website under the price are 3 clickable options, the bottom of these says building instructions. Also even if it is a retired product for the newer sets the building instructions are still available.
...and the people who designed it will not get sigle cent from it, because chineese made this copycat (as they always do) and you boy it from them, so thanks a lot.
@@mach3reached Yes, that's the downside of buying of Ali, it's all fake and copied. Also you don't know if the plastics meet European regulations and what they are made from. Could be having all sorts of cheap, poisoned st5uff I nit. Wouldn't be the first time they use that for coloring the parts.Like cadmium to get that nice bright yellow colour.
You could always download the instructions in pdf from the Lego website ? Free. I have been buying with paper book instructions but using the lego pdf on the PC to build due to the ability to zoom in on certain sections is very helpful.
@@treetopspider That was my 2nd buy. I got a Porsche 911 RSR. It came in a box, Its really big and I think its very detailed. One of the headlight has a defect, but it was very fun to build and was it cheap.
8:31 that is actually incorrect, there is a difference between the different colors. The beige colored connectors have less friction than the blue. Same with the black connectors vs the light grey, the light grey has less friction. I ordered the Porsche and Bugatti years ago and the quality was alright, I purchased the Lamborghini and the Ferrari recently and am now awaiting delivery. The Ferrari is scheduled for delivery on Monday(it is in the hands of my local delivery service) I also ordered the Porsche RSR and plan to purchase a couple of F1 cars in the future. I want to hang all of my cars on the wall at some point after I move so I'm getting plenty of cars to fill up the wall all at once😂
I didn't know about the friction difference. It makes sense now you've mentioned it. That's good to know for the future. Although, I do always try to stick to the instructions where I can. Youve obviously got a really big collection of these kits. Its so exciting knowing that the kit is now in your country and with your local delivery company and just waiting for that knock on your door 😀I'm limited by space, although I really fancied the Porcshe. Unfortunately, my finished kits have been banished to my attic for now 😒
I could not deal with that. Too much consumption of minutes. I am still working on that 200 plus year old French, Henry Freres, comptoise clock. It's going on the end of the 2nd year. Nice to see you posting!
Hi Artemus. I think Ive got a hyperactive brain which need constant stimulation to keep it working 😆 Ive seen your short videos of the clock youre working on. Its very interesting, would be nice to see more
I just watched your upload dedicated to me 🙏thats an unbelievable amount of detailed work you are doing there. Keep the uploads coming. I am looking forward to seeing it when its eventually finished
10:17 Each part on these kits are bagged by weight, if it's a bigger part you will definitely get the right amount of parts, but if it's a small part you will sometimes get some extras, as it's better to give you more of them small parts rather than too few.
Question - are the plastic bags in the same format as the authentic Lego ones? Ie jf if I were to buy the box, could I put the bags inside it as it is supposed to go?
i just finisht the Eiffel tower, also a lego copy from AliExpress. and i just used the pdf building instructions from lego it self, and it was 100% the same as the book that did get with it.
bought this kit few days back but got disappointed during the build i discovered some missing parts and some of them are crucial. contacted seller but no response. smh.. ordered and spent 10$ for the parts, now awaiting for the delivery. good to see that u have successfully finished urs🍻
Sorry to hear that, Its been the one thing Ive dreaded with all my builds. Have you checked the other bags, There were times I thought a part was missing but found it in another bag
I just checked with Ali express and the original advert is no longer there. However I did find a similar one s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DBlk8cf Hope this helps
Hi I just looked back on my orders for the link and its showing as 'no longer available' Between me and my friends we've ordered a few kits now, all from different suppliers for AE, and they've all been fine. I'd say as long as you go for a kit that is like for like part amount wise, you'll be ok
Got me this kit turning up tomorrow as well as the BMW motorbike (r1100 it?), I've completed the Yamaha MT-10 and Mercedes F1 car in last three weeks. You're right it is so addictive but hey, 50quid of drink for a few hours and a sore head or hours and hours lf me time!

I have seen the new Merc F1 large set on Aliexpress as well for around £65 before tax tec.
@@adrianlynch9435 yup, Ive seen that too, but it was just preorder, will wait for the reviews
@@adrianlynch943565 is over double what it should be, AliExpress sets should be about ⅕ of the price as the original Lego set
@@adrianlynch9435i ve bought it for 25 euros this summer ... Also bought the Daytona and Chiron for 50 euros each one...
Do you have the link for the ferrari ?
@18:26 I felt this speech in my bones! Especially when a bong is involved

Great build. What gets me the most are the people that designed all these parts to come together to make this model. It's mind bl
It must take ages. The way that all those little pieces fit together to create a whole model like this is amazing

Someone else also mentioned that. I never knew
could you put the link of the page you got the lego sets from in the description for the next time?
I know I should do that but it feels like I am trying to sell something but perhaps with my next build, I will add a link
This kits on Ali are surprisingly good quality. I bought a Lambo and a Porsche not to long ago. They very much worth it.
I totally agree. I'm thinking of getting the Porsche next

Can u share the pdf and total hw many parts were there
The pdf can be found on the official Lego website.
Question - are the plastic bags in the same format as the authentic Lego ones? Ie jf if I were to buy the box, could I put the bags inside it as it is supposed to go?
Thats a hard one for me to answer as Ive never bought a real kit.
Brilliant, bought all 5 big cars along with the 911 rsr all for the price of one real lego
i just finisht the Eiffel tower, also a lego copy from AliExpress.
and i just used the pdf building instructions from lego it self, and it was 100% the same as the book that did get with it.
Nice❤
This was a tough one

@@treetopspider yeah i did hoping that it was only misplaced from the other bags but still nothing. Anyway just have to wait for the parts to arrive
Do u have a link
I just checked with Ali express and the original advert is no longer there. However I did find a similar one

Thank you for the idea of cutting a milk jug/bottle in half for part containers!
Make sure theyre empty though 😁
there are many kits on aliexpress and there is variation in quality. Since you already built yours, could you link to the one you bought?
Hi
I just looked back on my orders for the link and its showing as 'no longer available'
Between me and my friends we've ordered a few kits now, all from different suppliers for AE, and they've all been fine. I'd say as long as you go for a kit that is like for like part amount wise, you'll be ok
I just read someone already mention the lego app 🙏
Got me this kit turning up tomorrow as well as the BMW motorbike (r1100 it?), I've completed the Yamaha MT-10 and Mercedes F1 car in last three weeks.
You're right it is so addictive but hey, 50quid of drink for a few hours and a sore head or hours and hours lf me time!
Hahah perfect way of looking at it. Youre next headache is where are you going to keep all these huge models 😄
@@treetopspider yup, my wife is concerned about that. I might take them to pieces and organise the bits and rebuild them again after we've moved
Mine have 4 left rims ( with 4 mark) ;)
Brilliant video and presentation, Thank you !!
Thank you, I tend to struggle with my presentation 😄
can u give the link for this car?
so cool seeing a grown up man having that much fun with a "lego set" (im 19 and my (grand-)parents were never really into it unfortunately)
