Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am a Ford fanatic and a general Car buff. I'd love to see bricksets to build/modify the great muscle cars. When I saw this kit, I had to have one. GT40s are one of my favorites and this is the modern version of a 40.
I was initally quite impressed with the assembly. The bricks fit together very well - except for the chrome 1x1 "buttons", they only want to pop-off - and the vehicle is "tight". The quality-control on these bricks is very good. Megablok is running just behind Lego in that regard with about 98% of their brick.
However, the way the doors attach to this model is a mess. The feeble little prongs that are supposed to fit into holes in the rocker and upper jam do not work well. You have to have the car assembled very tightly to even have a ghost of a chance. My car is very tight and the doors would still wiggle loose if a child actually really played with it.
So much of the vehicle is really big preformed panels that all you can really build with this is a Ford GT. Reuse is pretty much limited to everything under the shell.
The vehicle itself is impressively large - so big it may be hard to find a spot to just "display it" if that is your intention.
On the whole, if someone just wants a GT for display purposes, get them a die-cast model.
A young child playing with this model might be very frustated by how the doors fall off every 5 minutes while playing with it.
It looks like Megabloks intends this vehicle to be the begining of a line of performance models. I hope that they pay a little more attention in the future to playability options. It wouldn't have been too hard to engineer a door-mounting technique that would work better than what this car has.
