Lego 42125 is down to £144.99 a stunning price get it while you can.
It is the worst Technic kit I have ever built. Just awful. And looks even worse with the stickers.

Only way it would be a stunning price would be if it was on sale for less than £100.00!!!
For a big build it looks absolutely nothing like the subject.

Probably why I've never been bothered with it.
I quite liked the build and think it looks ok. Got it for £104 on Amazon. Said it before on Amazon pricing, changes by the hour sometimes.

To be fair that could be said about pretty much every Lego model!

Right - please can we make it a rule that the NAME of the model is mentioned in the post with the #number being optional rather than the other way around?

In which case, motion carried.

Not mentioning the model name henceforth will be considered a hanging offence.

This is what i completed at the weekend - its taken me a while as i have only had the odd hour or two to have a go at it over the last few months...





I found the build challenging. The MOC instructions were very detailed, however there were several points where it was difficult to precisely work out what went where etc.
The rear, in particular, I had issues with and even had to deviate from the instructions just to get part of the assembly to go together.

In terms of the model overall, it isn't as sturdy as i was expecting (i have the Bugatti and that is solid) - it is not as fragile as, say, the Cateram, but you do have to take care when picking it up/moving it.

Now that i have completed it, i'm not 100% sure i really like it, which is a shame as I had been looking forward (for some time) to completing it.
I'm tempted to dismantle it now, and then rebuild the Porche

Wow - that looks pretty awesome.
Can I ask where you found / bought the MPC instructions please ?
