Top Gear's " This is brilliant - But I like this" meme came to my mind when I think about this and the other McLaren. This looks good, but the other just draws my attention better.

Maybe someone will make this as RC model. If no one do it, I will.

I'm a extreme e fan and I like this set. A larger model would be great.

Build it.

Sariel's review of this set has been hard, but justifiably so, I think...? [Some part of me stills think that this set is good, maybe without the stickers it'd look better as a generic Pull-Back car (non-licensed ftw) than a half-baked attempt of the real thing in this scale (like many of the smaller licensed sets)].

So it's not entirely my thing, but it'd look cool next to the other NEOM Pull back set (Note: It's 42169. Insert the funny here).

I’ve switched off from Sariels reviews. I find him too negative about sets and in my opinion doesn’t give a balanced view or a view that considers the main customer (not the vast majority of us). I far prefer RacingBrick ( @kbalage ) or Jang these days.

 

These pull back models have a place, my nephew loves all the monster truck ones.

Each to his own; I watch RacingBrick too, excellent reviews and the building section is absolutely awesome, I genuinely never skip it^

I see Sariel as more of a realist than a pessimist, and as far as I'm concerned he's right most of the time. Plus his pets are adorbs!

I agree on this. I have no idea why TLG in all their wisdom discontinued Monster Jam.
