LEGO Technic Lamborghini Sin FKP 37 42115

I'm so happy with this set. I really enjoyed the technical build and working synchro gearbox from steering wheel paddles. The door openers and spoiler mechanisms are great too. I did manage to install the rear diff the wrong way around, completely my fault for not paying attention to the instructions. I chose to switch the front diff afterward to rectify as it was easier than getting into the rear. It only took about an hour to resolve and was good fun stripping down some of the front of the car to get it out, a nice little challenge. Like others have mentioned a few of the pieces are a slightly different shade of green (most noticeable in the spoiler for me) but it doesn't really bother me.

I've been a Lego follower since the age of three, now some 43 years later my love for the brick is stronger than ever, with the Sian reaffirming this sentiment. Being a petrol head through and through, this set proudly joins the Lego Chiron and GT3 RS in my 1:8 collection. Unusually, this kit sat boxed for two years while I found the time to make a start, this was largely driven by the numerous complaints I'd read online regarding colour inaccuracies and missing parts - I didn't want to be disappointed on such an important kit, so I kept putting the build off. In hindsight I wish I'd ignored the negative comments and got on with it… the build has been a genuinely pleasurable and time bending experience! I've treasured seeing the car come together, its detail and sheer size, in a colourway only a Lamborghini can get away with, it makes me smile every time I look at it. Once more I'm impressed with the ingenuity of Lego's engineers, the construction of this kit is complex and all the better for it. Some (few) of the green components differ from one another, but I do understand how perfect colour matching when using different plastics is near impossible. Would I like colour and surface consistency to be as if it had just come out of a body shop? Of course, I would, however the hue shift in the green and gloss to satin surfacing does not spoil the Sian's overall aesthetic. Equally, some of the black components presumably also manufactured from different plastic types and from specific moulds, has resulted in some glossy, rich blacks, while others are a little lacklustre in comparison. It would be great if Lego could further hone their surface finishes, so consistency is no longer a discussion point, as this is certainly not unique to Sian. Based on my experience of the Lamborghini Sian, it is a wonderfully formed set, all pieces presented in beautiful packaging, a pleasure to build resulting in a Lego masterpiece. One I'm particularly pleased with and proud of. No one else offers products like this, for all generations to immerse themselves in and enjoy. Impressive, to say the least. Thank you, Lego.
