LEGO® Speed Champions 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback - 75884

I love ford cars and how they look, both my parents own a car from ford and I hope to get my own one soon, but this is a horrible looking car due to the stickers. I can tolerate stickers, but the designs on some of them are just advertising LEGO like it doesn't matter that their logo is on the top of every stud. I am also upset that Lego randomly closed my review and made me have to retype it all. I currently have it in several pieces without any plan to rebuild.

Stickers were easier then some other sets to get right. Fun build.

I got this Mustang as a gift with purchase a while ago and at first it sat in a pile of "to be built" sets but I'm kicking myself that I didn't build it earlier, because it's great. I'd always thought that the Speed Champions series looked a little overpriced for what they were but after building this I realise where the money is going. It's robust enough to be played with by the kids without breaking every couple of minutes but also detailed enough to be a good display piece. After building this I went out and picked up 3 more Speed Champions cars and I'm sure anyone who bought this would do the same. My only negatives across this and the other sets in the series (and it's a personal one that I know some people don't share) is that the "extra" bits are a bit of a nothing. On this set the timing board, whilst nice really doesn't add anything and on some of the larger sets there's a lot of add on bits that aren't needed. I also think that there are a lot of stickers to be applied in these and it would be better to go for more printed pieces. Understandably this would add to the cost, but maybe by doing away with the extra bits the cost could even up? Overall this is a great build and whilst I enjoyed building it, the true sign of success was the enjoyment my sons got from it when they got up in the morning and found it waiting for them.

Overall easy build. My son and I completed fairly quickly with no issues. Great for a beginner in my opinion. If you love Mustangs this is for you. We add a minor touch at the end!

I bought this along with 2 other Speed Champions sets. I let my kids build those sets while I tackled this one. I'm a Mustang fan and I love the 68, so this was a fun build for me. So far very satisfied with the Speed Champions models, they are creative interpretations of some iconic cars. I'm really hoping LEGO keeps adding to this set and hoping they'll make available some sets no longer available (hint, hint.)
