Out of curiosity, are you reporting any issues like with stickers or with the parts to Lego with the numbers from the box, so their QA dep can take a look?
@@andyblondyn1898 sometimes I do, not all of them though.
Dam I was hopping for a Swedish ghost squadron sticker or print for building some Swedish jet mocs :(
@@LarySeeAircraft you can see the yellow ghost sticker at the rear at 6:13
@@RacingBrickoh i missed that, is the ghost the same colour on the white set?
I wish the car transporter wasn't retired. It was in my opinion decently priced, had its value for it, and would be great for those who have gotten a few of these scale cars over time
Fr
They discontinue it so fast…
@@EvanMoon yeah :[
fr bruh i wanted to buy it but the only way was to buy it overpriced and used on ebay

Love that they released both colors at the same time unlike the lamborghini
Or the Bugatti
I'm glad I waited and was able to end up getting the orange Lamborghini. I was deciding between the green Lamborghini and the Senna GTR and picked the Senna because of the issues with the green unmatched plastic pieces.
Yeah i reget buying the green one
I was happy to buy both. They look great next to each other & compared to the Bugatti, there are so many colored external parts to make it worth it in my opinion
Do you have trouble finding a specific color for each car that has two colors?
My local Walmarts and targets only have the green lambo and the yellow Bugatti. I have to go to the Lego store to get the orange lambo and blue Bugatti.
And at the Lego stores the don’t have the green lambo and yellow Bugatti.
I just bought the grey Koenigsegg from Walmart but I’m worried I’m going to have a hard time finding the white.
the door mechanism is one of the coolest functions i've seen all year wow
yeah ngl its the same as in real life and for 50 bucks no way its so cheap
The dihedral synchrohelix doors
No way a car that has more functions than the steering!? I might actually buy this.
Actually almost all of them also have working engine (except the Jeep) and opening doors (except the Corvette, which was also a lot cheaper and was the least functional). Several also have opening front and/or rear covers and a few minor functions.
Thanks for the review i can't belive it this is prob the best smallest lego technic car set can't wait to get it!
I would absolutely love to get this set. At first, it just looked like an ordinary Lego Technic set in the 1/16 scale range, but no. After seeing this video, the crazy building solutions and techniques, the geometry that went into crafting this sculpture that offers playability with realism, it really is probably one of the best sets in this range. Now the question is, which color will I get 🤔
Ill probably buy it
The NASCAR also has s differential
same
@@pcc404 you have a differential?
@@justtoolleeow304no he ment he is probably gonna buy it to
@@justtoolleeow304 yes what @toyotasupra2010 said
@@ToyotaSupra2010 yes
your excitement and enjoyment of this build is palpable. this set must kick ass
I’m not the biggest fan of the smaller Technic models. Yes I’m a snob. But I’m really quite impressed with this one. Lego never ceases to amaze.
After many years, this is the real "technic" car!
Best 1:16 scale car fo sure! As you said, this is what Technic is all about. Can't wait to buy one too❤
I think it's a reasonable price for a well thought out and designed technic set. It's rare to see sets that would appeal to both collectors and kids but I think that this set perfectly fills that role.
This car should have been the 1:8 scale Technic Supercar Set 2024 instead of the Mc Laren.
I was hoping Gemera. Same cool features and then some. Four-seater, to start with!
I feel like I'm the only fan of the mclaren P1. It's such an Icon
@@Ezekiel-tf8sg if P1 is an icon, what is F1 then? We're out of words.
Thank definitely
@@ArinMatikkaa Both are icons, and he wasn’t dissing the F1, no big deal.
This car completely changes the 1:14 line, it gives a different level of features and functionality that one would only DREAM of at this price point. Definitely getting this once it releases.
I picked this set up a couple weeks ago and love it. The build experience was probably the best I’ve had with a $50 technic car set (and I have all of the ones that have come out in the last like 3 years except the blue Bolide), and I’m also thrilled with the functions, and with the fact that it has a differential.
The doors are so cool and I'm so excited that this is a 50 dollar set that has an actually diff for once.
This looks like a huge leap in small technic cars so hopefully it's a standard going forward. Differential, engine color, doors, all of these are very cool new features
I don't mind having model cars, but I really miss the old wireframe style of technic vehicles. They let you enjoy the shape and the functions at the same time...
This is basically one of the 1/8 scale cars,it has all opening parts(but no gearbox)
I'm thrilled to see the $50 technic car format receive a massive upgrade. I was really starting to lose it with the inconsistency of features across the line, to the point they could barely include a differential. For $50, this model actually hits the mark for what kid-me would have expected after looking at the box. I'm really hoping this is a sign of things to come and not a flash in the pan.
Crazy angles and great construction techniques to make them, great technic set a must have for my transporter!
yay another racingbrick vid!
In my opinion the best reviewer
definitely gonna get the white one, this thing is neat!
I just finished mine, and I did enjoy making it. The door assembly is great, and I like the opening engine cover. I think it is more accurate in appearance than the Bolide and much more accurate than the Huracan. I am hoping that soon they will come out with a McLaren F1 in this size.
This is a must buy set. What a value
Quite probably the best of this series of the smaller non-motorised Technic Supercars. It could almost be seen as Technic's Speed Champions line, since they're pretty good value, and are very carefully sculpted and shaped to try and match the car they're based on as closely as possible. Sure they're not perfect, but it's hard to imagine trying to do it myself and getting things where they are just right.
I promised myself no more but every time I think I’m out they pull me back in!
Now this a 50 dollar set!!!! Can there future sets be like this!!!
OMG! It is a masterpiece! This set looks like more complex and interesting than most expensive sets! Bravo!
I'm not a fan of this series of Technic cars, but I have to say this one looks fantastic!
I’m either buying this set, or the pneumatic excavator set. This wave is truly one of the best set releases in years.
Pre-ordered mine a couple of weeks ago. Looks like it's quite a good build. Love the features.
I've got the orange Hurracan, the Senna GTR and the blue Bugatti. Looking forward to getting the Koenigsegg
Picked this up at Costco in the us for 39 a couple of days ago. Can’t beat that price.
Differential - yes!!!
We've come a long way since the Corvette ZR1 set. :)
Looks like a great technic set and it genuinely looks good. So cool they got the working door mechanism as well. Koenigseggs have really grown on me lately. Not sure which color I would prefer though. Waiting for the review/comparison with the white one I guess.
finally a car that I don't have to modify to have a differential
Surprisingly cool :)
Great review. I think I need this one
"racingbrick oploaded😁" "its not the g500🥺"
haha i agree
Someone at LEGO has clearly sneaked that set through every controlling instance. Only 50€ for that 800 piece car? Designed with love and not a cost cutting spreadsheet? And it even looks great? How can that be?!?
I mean: look at the engine detail, the strut that holds the engine cover, the doors, the removable HOGS, the staggered wheels...
I have this one and the nascar Camaro, the jesko is really on another level, the bodywork and the door mechanism are really cool. The new engine is super smooth unlike the Camaro one
As a fan of this scale this car is AWESOME
Picked it up the 24th of July at my local Walmart. Haven’t started the build yet. That store is pretty reliable for stocking shelves early.
This set is pretty great value and looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing, as always!
Love this gray color for sure with the orange accent
My only issue with the set is that i wish the White one had been a Jesko Attack instead of an Absolut recolour. Would've been cool to have both versions of the Jesko in this form otherwise this car is perfect and one of the best of the Car Transporter gang
I was thinking about buying this, and after watching this, I've decided that I will!
It released at my local Walmart this morning as well as speed champions camaro. I picked them both up
I might be getting this Lego set for Christmas
I have the Huaracan and the Bugatti from this line. Have only built half of this Koenigsegg so far but it is 100% far and away more fun than either of those were. Not to mention the play features on it, specifically the door mechanism and the engine are so much higher quality than on the others from this line.
btw I picked it up for $40 at Costco. also grabbed two of the mincecraft crafting tables @ $70 each for the investment collection.
I literally just bought this set but the white jesko. and the Lego crane today. Man the crane brings back memories. I had the first xxl one that came out years ago.
I have been waiting for this for SOOOO long this will be my 3rd lego set i ever buy (its quite expensive here in India) and i really didnt want to spend money on something like the previous cars at this scale since they were the same old functions, but this one oh boy is packed full with new stuff, i cant wait for my birthday to get it, its a good set dont you think as someone who rarely builds lego?
lego is upping their game
I was sold on the Bugatti but I think I'm gonna go with this one, it looks very promising!
Finally the small DBG curved panels for my Sherman tank :D
But seriosly, this looks like a really good parts donor set with a lot of new pieces.
Set looks good. I usually don’t like the $50 technic cars. I’m way more of a fan of the Ford GT/Batmobile size. I need more of those but this one here looks good and the features are dope
As someone’s who’s built this set before, I find it cool . I mean, what Lego fan would hate this?
Based on your tone, it sounded like you had a lot more fun than usual building this one. :)
I did!
With Speed Champions bringing Pagani to the table. Please LEGO, give us an official Zonda-R set!
Also blows out the the Lamborghini and the Bugatti by a mile!
I built this set yesterday, and two parts really disappointed me: 1. The engine is mounted in a way that makes it difficult to dismount afterwards. In step 36 in the instructions you push two red axles in, without the ability to pull them out again. 2. The windshield frame is just standing around without real mounting points. Other than that, I really liked the build experience.
I was also surprised to see two different sizes of tires in terms of width. I think these tires would have been awesome for the Countach, compared to the two wheels solution on the rear axle they did.
I saw this set yesterday at the Lego Store... it's quite big for the box. The price is reasonable.. Maybe I'll pick this up for the start of next year, maybe..
6:49 savage lol

After that oversized pullback in 2022 I had lost track on this line, but just built this one (in white) yesterday. And I must say, I've really missed something here - this was the most fun build in a very long time. So many odd angled connections and yep, features. I will probably get the gray version as well at some point, but for now I've already ordered the Bugatti, to pick up what I missed.
Oh, and the new engine parts make a funny noise!
They never point model and real vehicle in the same direction, to make both harder to compare and see the obvious differences.
I was looking foward to this video!
Even though I thing Koeniggsegg is an interesting company I'm not that interested in them. But this set, I'm on a verge of buying it. If it was an icon like Countach or F40, I'd be a no brainer.
This one was not yet on my radar. But your review will result in a Lego sale.
I do have one question though: how about the look of the car without stickers applied? And which one fares best in that respect: the grey or the white version. Apart from the sticker dilemma, my initial idea is that grey looks nicer (and it is also more different from previous cars - if we include the pullback-motorized Porsche in the lineup)
Having bought it now, I can confirm that it’s indeed the best in this scale: original build-up; incredibly tightly fitting mechanics and cool functions; some very good body sculpting with a surprising mix of technic and system. (And I bought grey, left it stickerless and am happy with the final look)
Can’t wait to see if someone motorize it
We will❤
Sounds hard
Now I need a white review
Looking forward to this. I love the technic cars of this size.
Weird that the sets also don't have a close set number. Would make sense for the white variant to be 42174
You're the only weird person who cares about the set number.
Thank you for showing the door mechanism. Seems like other lego technic channels only care about looks.
Lego had to learn Yoga to build this Egg! Really nice car ill have to grab both versions of this one for sure!
my only complaint......the piston caps are black. they could have used a different color to make the pistons more visible.
Sales are gonna be crazy after that record break
It would be fun to buy both colors and mix them.
I just finished the McLaren Formula E racecar. I'm gonna have to get this one next!! (But i like the white one better I think).......
That's unfortunate...
I already own 6 of the sets at this scale (4 of them I didn't particularly want, just stumbled on a great deal), and definitely don't want another, but this looks to be by FAR the best. Come on LEGO, why couldn't you do this with the other sets?
I think it's good they are offering more sets in two colours. Though I think in this case the white Jesko should of been the attack launch spec white and the grey the Absolute version.
6:48 racingbrick is sigma
OMG, FINALLY
Nice video, already preordered mine! 😊
Will you do a video about the white version too? Would be interesting if there are building differences, where the colours are different and which one is worth more partwise
This is my dream build 😇😇
Just got mine building it now
The Lego set is so cool
Car Transporter Gang represent!
If you lift the senna front it can fit the knob for hog steering, but it’s not intended
nice shirt!!
i dont know why but your stickers look more grey than mine. I got mine a few days ago and it had paper bags too
It’s already at Costco for 40
I got mine for 39.70chf, that’s already an amazing price! And after building it I found it that was the most enjoyable, affordable, complete amazing set I have built!
Very Very nice set and considering speed champions and normal cars sets (senna mp4/4, 911turbo/targa, f1 ecc) prices.. this is my perfect platform! 🥹
I bought it and its the best technic out there in my opinion (Not including the big ones)
Can't wait for the volvo truck
Nah I’m buying this car when it releases in my region it is so cool edit: the white one might look better with black rims
i just ordered it it will come this friday
That door mechanism was a nightmare
