Nifeliz HOONIKEN Model Car Set, Colletible Building Toy for Adults, for Car Lovers and Muscle Car Fans (3141 Pieces

Up until now, I have been exclusively purchasing only lego sets. The problem is that the price of those sets is getting out of control. I remained on the fence until I heard that Nifeliz was releasing a 1:8 scale mustang and it was going to be an homage to racing legend Ken Block. I was impressed by the attention to detail in the packaging, the part bags being numbered in conjunction with the step numbers in the manual, the manual is high quality print with detailed instructions, and it came with both regular stickers and transfer decals. Mine had all the parts and all the parts had good fit and function. The build was challenging. I loved that it would show some assembly steps and what your goal was but it left it to you to get the parts assembled. I feel that is where the 16+ comes in. I know there are some that would say the instructions may not be clear but I felt this was intentional so that the individual builder could be creative in achieving the result. The end result is an impressive beast of a model. It gets positive comments from all the see it. All this at a fraction of the cost lego charges. You get a lot more for a lot less. To all those folks that I have seen post about adding motors to this kit, it would take some serious rework to make this happen. This is a BIG model and is HEAVY. You would need to beef up the drivetrain, steering, and suspension. Frankly, the thought of this model zooming across the ground is scary. Again, I love the thought and detail that John Wick and his team put into this build. The ‘HOONIKEN’? Perfect!

This 3141-piece HOONIKEN model is perfect for car lovers! The quality is top-notch, and building it was both fun and satisfying. Looks amazing on display—great for any muscle car fan or collector!

Super fun to build! Such an iconic car and this build did it justice really well. It was probably a good 8-12 hours of fun with a super good instruction book, easy to use pieces, and a great quality model. The stickers are obviously designed to be close to original without infringing on copyright things, but they were done tastefully and would go unnoticeable to most eyes. You can also find a nice sticker set on eBay that's a more exact replica to really bring together this build. Highly recommend and will certainly be buying this brand again!

First off - I’m an avid Lego Technic enthusiast- but as I wait for the next Lego Technic to be released I have tried some of these Chinese knock off sets - this company has been the best of the rest - you will read in some reviews that these are just as good as Lego - that’s complete nonsense- they are nowhere near Lego quality- but a set of this size would be almost $400 with Lego - This set is $130 - rightfully so you should be concerned about missing pieces - with Lego - you can go on the website and order a missing piece - this company offers an email - and you gotta hope for the best - with this set I did have a couple minor missing pieces - but I was able to source them from my left over Lego Technic overflow pieces - most pieces are too tight - so have needle nose pliers in case of a situation where you have to remove it - some are to loose - so when turning the car they will fall out - then you will spend 20 minutes looking for the proper place - the instructions aren’t Lego quality but are serviceable- this company tends to do things a little backwards but it all works out - now for the complete disaster of the build - the fenders - absolute mind bending poor design- after hours I finally got them on - but one was loose and floppy - I took it apart - a small peg had broken in half internally ( not Lego quality ) I was able to abstract it and replaced it with a leftover Technic piece - another huge problem with this set was as follows - as always you assemble small bodies to be attached to the main body - without fail when trying to attach the small body to the main body - the car will fall apart - so make sure of your understanding of where things fall off - pay attention to the bags - they are numbered for each progression- not 1-8 like Lego - but like 568-589 - small markings on the bags etc - this set will include 2 sheets of decals - they are identical- one is standard - one is transfer decals - I found this to be an opportunity- I used them both and added decals wherever they would fit properly- overall this car came out fantastic- better than some of my Technics

It's big set. But fitment in some of the peices is horrible. Either too loose and the peices slip off each other or you need pliers to squeeze the peices together. Steering is off. Wheels are "toed" out and I went though the steering several times. And the over fender design is horrible and doesn't stay in place with those rubber rods. Need to glue the rod into the peice for it to stay.Update after finishing the car, dropped it to a 1 star. Front tires hit the body /fender area ans prevent the car from rolling. Front of Roof (a pillar) doesn't reach the lower mounting area. Peices almost have to be disconnected from each other so the roof can be mounted. Stickers are also horrible removing the protective film. At times it pulls up the decal with the film. Cool and iconic car, but I'd rather spend some more money and buy it from a different manufacturer

The media could not be loaded. This is our 4th Nifeliz kit now. Build quality is top notch, as are the individual decals. It is not for the novice builder! At 3200 peices it will takes a few days to complete. The box it comes in is gift quality and the kit was a great value for the money.
