MEGA Hot Wheels série elite, Corvette

I am missing 3 pieces the quality control is lacking. I am missing a major piece for the hood. ME08483MM, piece ME742988LG, and one ME03328E.

My son got this as a Christmas present and it has yet to be built. This has been a very frustrating build as the pieces do not properly fit together, it completely falls apart when we try to open the hood or touch it for that matter, back wheels keep falling off, hood is hard to reattach....we have set it aside multiple times to keep from just throwing it away. Will be very hesitant to buy more of these type of designs in the future

I started and finished the Corvette Grand Sport this weekend because I locked myself indoors due to the sub zero temperatures in my neck of the woods. I'm usually all about the main competition whose title begins with the letter "L", but I saw this Vette AND the big Hot Wheels logo on the box, and I had to have it. This was my first Mattel brick build and this is my honest review. First and foremost, the sheer amount of detail the designer put into this build was incredible (the valve covers had the Corvette logo, Corvette badge on the steering wheel, flywheels in the engine, etc... It even had a a serpenine belt!). Secondly, the functioning parts (hood, doors, working steering column, etc..). Those are fantastic! Third, (and some of you may not see the big deal) the fact the tires are made by Firestone...That's just cool in my book. Fourth, that little metal plate with the model of the build you just did and the Hot Wheels logo that finalizes the build. That is the icing on the cake that made me genuinely smile when I set it in place. There are so many quality points regarding this set, even the instruction manual that not only had crystal clear instructions, but also some fun facts! I can't say enough good about this build! BUT...I don't want to come off as someone who was paid to say this, so I will give a litle bit of criticism. If there is ANYTHING to critique, it is the block seams. I understand it might be difficult to create something that has absolutely no brick seams, but that would be the ONLY complaint I had about this build. It still looks great and the build was just incredible. If I had a real complaint, it would be the fact Mattel hasn't created enough sets just yet, but the Brick Shop is only just over year old. I really look forward to my next Mattel Hot Wheels build, and I absolutely can't wait to see what sets are coming our way.

It was exciting to put together of coures some moments where challenging with some pieces but it was fun and corvette is one of my favorite cars also lego enthusiasts which is another reason

interesting build, i am used to lego technic and this is not build easy to follow directions
