Recently I brought some bit and pieces of temu as everyone was rabing about it, part of the order was for one of these knock off fake lego technic set, I got a good deal on it so thought would get on and see how the build is, as really I haven’t built any technic sets since I was a kid, now in my early 50’s
Well the set I went for was for a set designed around the Lamborghini Sián technic no. 42115, the offical model has over 3200 pieces and 60cm in length, this one is smaller at just over 1200pieces and around 34cm length. I Filmed the build and added to my YouTube channel to see the full build watch the video above.
For me building Lego can be painful as I have artrists in my hands, so did take me a bit longer than someone that is used to building lego. Throughout the build did have a few problems where either the instructions weren’t that clear or I missed something,ie turning the part over that you have just constructed.
I found because I was filming with studio lights was getting light reflected off the manual which to be honest was good quality but what I did was scan it in to a pdf , so then could view on my tablet. Which means I can then zoom into sections to make it easy to see what you are doing, for this model will be adding the scanned PDF to my downloads section soon, for a small fee.
There was no missing building blocks, did get a few extra , though a few of these are so that you can build with the motor and have it remote controlled, though I only had the normal version. All in all the build was fine pieces fitted OK there was only a few that seemed bit loose. Now if you didn’t know this was not Lego you really couldn’t tell between the quality of these and original lego.
The model did come with some sticker , though the green of the car and the green of the stickers were completely different shades, so this was a bit of a let down, though sill looks good without the stickers. But really for the price I paid for the set you can’t complain.
The Verdict
First I am giving my opinion based on not having a new original lego set to compare with. Like I have said the piece quality is good , construction was fine. I did have fun building this, if you gave this set to a child, unless they did notice there is no lego logo on the pieces they wouldn’t know any different. And even for an adult for the price compared to offical lego is great value, from Temu this set because of a bundle deal with a cheap drone this basically cost me £10 and for that you can’t complain at all.
Since getting this one have now got another 5 different cars around the same piece count, so if you want to see the builds and reviews of those, they will be posted to my YouTube channel first, then to the blog, so make sure you subscribe to my channel from the video above.
I now can’t find it on Temu as did buy this good few months ago, but if interested here is a link on Amazon (this is a affiliate link, no additional cost to you, but I may get small commission, this helps keep the channel going) and these are available in different colours.
