LEGO Lamborghini Countach (REVIEW)

[@TiagoCatarino]

Check out my new project, a website that gives you the best LEGO deals and sales out there updated daily!! Studprices ❯ www.studprices.com/

[@hw9258]

Tiago, could you enlighten me how to support the channel while I can get discount from Lego? Thanks 🎉

[@joermnyc]

They did have an 8 stud wide Speed Champions version of this car as well, strangely also in white. Getting all the angles in the back in that scale was very satisfying.

[@ich4226]

I also really like it but the shabby windshield white ruins it completely. It even looks better with a black one instead.

[@joermnyc]

@@ich4226 yeah the printed color is not the best match.

[@UncleZeiv]

I absolutely adore that set, it got me to take Speed Champions more seriously. I recently got one to assemble myself, hiding from the kids 😆

[@WittyDroog]

One of the best Speed Champions released so far, in my opinion

[@realJHerndon]

I think the Speed Champions version was a better value and still a great build. They got a lot right here, but the finished build doesn't look as good as the SC version.

[@dronessential]

My thoughts exactly.

[@cerradobricks4017]

I can excuse no pop lights at speed champions scale, but this one should have it. The f40 from years ago had it!

[@christoph560]

But 180€?? I mean, the Mustang was 130€, the London Bus 120€... and here we have only 1500 pieces for 180€... too expensive in my opinion.

[@vct824]

probably lambo license is more expensive?

[@Tohhmo1]

And these Lambo pieces are much smaller. Totally overpriced product.

[@corduroycal]

Better than the defender lol. 240 was crazy glad I got it on sale

[@eraclefigliodizeus]

It's a Lambo heheheheh

[@quake8863]

It’s because it’s 180$ not 180€

[@dennis8376]

A absolutely catastrophe!! The twin tires 😂, the yellow color 😂 It’s not white. This is a shame Lego. A iconic from my childhood and you destroy it!! A shame Lego.

[@Der_Mang]

One thing I'm noticing in your review is how poor some of the color matching is between white bricks. I don't have this issue with any of my older lego sets from the 90s and 2000s

[@ivaniii9707]

I am unfortunate enough to own the Lamborghini Sian and the mismatch on the nose which I look at every time I walk by annoys me. Lego's QC is substantially worse now and prices keep climbing

[@joevictor53]

This is why Jang will always be the GOAT when it comes to Lego reviews. He won't shy away from colour differences like most LAN reviewers

[@corduroycal]

Yea even my Porsche had some issues especially with the 1x studs and plates

[@HuyV]

Yeah Lego's white is particularly bad. And that's only talking about the out of the box matching. Just wait for a year and all those different bricks will yellow at different paces too...

[@andrewmazzarini2742]

The thing about the F40's pop-ups is, I didn't even realize they were pop-ups when I was building the set since they're manually operated. I have my fingers crossed if Lego ever makes an Icons set of a Mazda MX-5 Miata Roadster, the pop-ups should be operated with a function in the cabin like the guns on the 007 Aston Martin DB5

[@leroy7647]

This will probably be my Black Friday buy of 2024. Always have had a soft spot for the classic Lambo's (mostly Diablo but definitely also the Countach) and this has to be hands down one of the best sets in terms of how closely it resembles the real thing. Awesome job!

[@quantillaprudentia1345]

Are you blind?

[@AK8901]

All printed?!?? YESSSSS

[@RegenTonnenEnte]

Would be greqt if it was white and not beige

[@WizardOfOss]

Still a bit mixed feelings. Most of it looks really good, some proportions aren't quite perfect but we gotta remember this is still Lego. The sides look a bit flat to me,, and combined with the thick window frames make the car as a whole look a bit bulky. My biggest issue however are the rear wheel arches. On the real car that has such an iconic shape, but here they didn't even do an attempt to recreate that. Dare I say I would have preferred the LP 400 version, which could probably have been done more accurately? Price is pretty bad too, but at least no ugly stickers this time.I'll wait for a nice discount....

[@inspirer4763]

That lego cat in the background spooks me every time.

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

I feel the saving grace of the higher price is unlike previous Icons models there aren't any unnecessary customizable options or alternate builds taking away from the overall piece count when the model is finished. The Mustang, and I think Defender are the only models you can display fully customized if you choose to while the Porsche, and even Camaro leave quite a bit left over. The Corvette from last year was already a step in the right direction as is this most recent Lamborghini. Price is still a bit outlandish, but given the full piece count of the build, and printed pieces it already feels like a much better value than Creator/Icons vehicles.

[@deadbygaylight]

2:45 this is the naca duct. It’s a low-drag air inlet originally developed by the u.s. national advisory committee for aeronautics (N.A.C.A.).

[@m1tablett445]

Why are there 6 wheels?

[@maxmuller4124]

Because its cheapest solution and Lego fan boys buy all worse sets.

[@jamesferguson-cooke2269]

It's to make the back 2 wider by actually having 4 tyres.

[@maxmuller4124]

@@jamesferguson-cooke2269 yeah of course. cheaper then a new wider tire to make! With new tires i want cost 200 bugs.... Thats what i said! ^^

[@jamesferguson-cooke2269]

@maxmuller4124 I know that's what you said I was replying with a more in depth awnser to the person that originally asked the question and tbh it would just give kego snother excuse to make the price higher

[@nxbb]

to account for accurate tire width

[@lllllGreenDaylllll]

Mould King has a very similar model (1349 pieces) listet for like 50 bucks.

[@dustinarmstrong1168]

Honestly, make the middle of the hood red and slap a Decepticon logo on it and you'd have a somewhat accurate replica of G1 Breakdown's alt mode. Bonus points if you swap the white for a light beige.

[@DC_Cha_Cha_Cha]

Love it! Absolutely legendary car. Shame about the lack of pop-up lights though. I am hoping we get a new big F40 again in range, I know theres a Speed Champ coming so hopefully one day.

[@cyanide1931]

It's almost perfect, I just wish it was not white. Yellow would be fantastic.

[@captainspooky7175]

I think if it was red it would look more iconic

[@xdrixn2115]

black with gold rims would look elegant basically everywhere in our houses

[@HuyV]

Just leave it for half a year and it will be yellow. Albeit very likely not very evenly 🤣🤣. Like my Storm Trooper Brickhead thing.... Lego's white is atrocious in both matching between bricks and in how badly it ages. Be prepared to dip the thing into hydrogenperoxide at least once a year to keep it at least somewhat whiteish.

[@captainspooky7175]

@@HuyV weird cuz i own an all white Lego ninjago set for 3 years and it’s still kept its colour and i haven’t even used any chemicals to clean it. It honestly depends on the environment in where you keep ur Lego sets

[@maxmuller4124]

Then you have luke! German reviewers says the white is so bad and cheap, it looks like old smoiking white or yellow white.

[@jakobsemajergaric]

I was surprised when you said that the model had everything someone could expect in terms of features, yet it has gotten a fairly amount of criticism for lacking pop-up headlights, the trunk in the back, a representation of a rear view window, fenders being off, the usage of extra wheels, too thick pillars, missing window framing in the doors, missing space for spare tire in frunk, too big tail lights, odd placement of the steering wheel, dashboard messing up gauges, too rectangular in the front, too steep of a hood and wrong transition between hood and window of the side profile. I didn’t notice you criticizing this model at all except for the pop-up lights missing, overall you seem really satisfied (disregarding the price). Do you have any comments about the faulty findings? Were the expectations for representing such a detailed car in Lego too high?

[@generalgrafx]

Mould King has a much better looking model of the Countach, so it can be done.

[@danielardale8615]

I wish they gave you a few different color options to buy it in. Hopefully they eventually do the Countach 25th Anniversary in RED😍

[@theshadowman1398]

No one will ever pay the Lego store retail price. I don’t even know why those stores even exist.

[@matthewmccarron8915]

I was honestly really looking forward to this, but I'm not impressed with it. I'm not sure what kills it for me, but I think it's death by a thousand cuts. The stand out issue I have with it, is the front end of the car. It should taper inwards slightly, but instead it's completely rectangular. It really throws off the entire model for me.

[@austenchevalier917]

Same here, I will keep my Firas MOC and maybe change the interior and a few other bits

[@1972Ray]

It looks like a cheap toy.

[@matthewmccarron8915]

@@1972Rayyeah, I agree. I’m trying not to be overly picky, because it’s Lego, but it’s honestly just not that great…

[@rc-fannl7364]

0:42 Seems like some white 2 x 1 slopes are less white than others...

[@maxmuller4124]

yeah German reviewers say this as cheap colering as bluebrixx for 7 years was.

[@tygattyche2545]

Sorry, but double rear tires on a (super) sports car are just nuts. Would love to see them on a truck or farmer vehicles (where we won't get them) but here it is just cheap. Well, at least LEGO realised that the signature colour of Lamboghini is yellow. And so this set contains fifty shades of yellow - but surely no white... This 180,- Euro set is equal to 180 punches right there where it hurts most.

[@properjob2311]

yes should have been yellow

[@ryanvegntech]

Won't all those white pieces forming the body going to turn randomly beige and yellow?

[@TiagoCatarino]

If you expose this so sunlight, yes, eventually

[@MicahPotts]

If you leave them out in the sun too long, POSSIBLY. But maybe Lego has fixed this by now? Maybe.

[@joevictor53]

Yep. Don't even have to expose it to direct sunlight. Just it being out in the open will cause it to yellow

[@randomnickify]

I'm fairly sure you can fix that, there are ways to "de-yellow" old plastic. People restoring old electronic do it all the time.

[@edselsugay4768]

Apparently, a lot of people seem to strongly disapprove of this model. Personally, I kinda like this Countach. I do think Lego has done a better job with other models, such as the Mustang and the 911, but I still think they did a good job with this one. Yes, I did buy it since I love the Icons/Creator Expert vehicles. We’ll see if my opinion remains the same after I’m finished with the build. Happy building, friends.

[@SonicUploadsAnimated]

This looks amazing great review as always love you videos man🎉

[@TheGodlike300]

please do yourself a favor and look up the mould king countach in comparison. Looks closer to the original in every regard and costs 60 Euro..

[@stevenkimdmd]

I never liked Lego kits with rubber bands. They wear out over time. My answer to this to buy an alternative build instruction from rebrickable. You can build a Countach from the pieces from the 911 kit. The official kit may have better interiors and engine compartment, but its overall shape is far inferior to the alternative build.

[@yashthegamer4250]

This is actually beautiful

[@geraldcacascreations5503]

the steering wheel 4:14 is so low, the driver have to use foot to steer. No Pedal as well.

[@McNuggets26]

the f1 mercedes car has been my favorite set I’ve got recently

[@ciuffoarancione8929]

Maybe I m wrong but the moc built with Porsche pieces looks better than this..the price is ridiculous... With the same money you can buy the moc i told and a die cast model 1:24 or 1/18 that of course looks 1000x better.

[@Ottigo]

Propably the best icons car!

[@bencatherall585]

Defo, i do like the porsche and the retired mini set tho

[@LERobbo]

There are new Lego Speed Champions being introduced 1st Aug: Ferrari F40 and the Nascar Chevrolet Camaro.

[@DaveBuildBricks]

Great video as always Tiago! I have so far resisted picking up any of the large scale car sets aside from the DeLorean, but I’m pretty sure this one will be joining it on my shelves!🤔

[@8mmman1990]

Saving up Lego insider points to get a big discount 👍🏻 on my list to buy.

[@aidanjere]

They did not have pop ups on this LEGO set because the real Countach 5000 QV has no popups, only the first generation did

[@clockwork3494]

I still can't fathom people complaining about the taillights, they look so spot on lol

[@andyf1880]

the shaping look really good but the main issue is the size. Take a look at pics of the real car and you’ll see that the LEGO taillights are just too big

[@terencetsang9518]

@@andyf1880Precisely, I want to like this set so badly, because I can see that a lot of thought and intricate techniques have been put into the model to recreate the features of such an iconic car - and in that respect the designers have done a phenomenal job. Still, the overall proportions just look IMO somewhat off and that unfortunately is a dealbreaker.

[@tg_rock]

@@terencetsang9518 same here

[@RegenTonnenEnte]

Lego can't even do white anymore... that is beige and even with colour differences between the pieces.

[@Vedett7450]

am i the only one thinking that the lambo from the porsche 911 is beter looking?

[@joevictor53]

No, lots of us think that and are shocked that the creator was able to do that with so many limitations compared to this official set that had fewer limitations

[@trev3971]

No, the silhouette of this one is pretty poor.

[@Bingchilling100]

Looking forward to the Lepin version

[@dziugasdaviesdavies358]

When Im in a hating LEGO competition, and my opponent is a LEGO fan... Seriously, what are yall going on about? "Its yellow, I dont see any white" "proportions arent exactly right" "it doesnt have all of the features" geez you guys have no life. This set looks amazing, I will be picking one up for myself, and its gonna look great next to my porsche 911 and McLaren F1, you guys can cry about it all you want, Im gonna have fun.

[@octobotimus]

Can’t say I’m a fan of the rubber bands. Those loosen up so much over time.

[@JustHim_IRL]

Wow that’s really cool!

[@TN89ify]

The twin tires are outrageous! Is this a tractor? The price is way way too high. The colour is not white, its a smoker yellow. The product is just embarassing. People who buy this are just stupid in my opnion. There is a similar version form mould kind for just the half of the price.

[@2002films]

Why wasn't this in red ? Doesn't make any sense. The Porsche was already in white that made the Countach

[@diegoyotta]

Peak 8️⃣0️⃣’s I will play the theme from Miami Vice while building it

[@generalgrafx]

It looks like a kit car based on a VW Beetle chassis.

[@properjob2311]

would have preferred it in a different colour to contrast against the Porsche 911

[@willparry]

That's a price and a half! Youre better off getting the tuxedo cat, I did.

Not quite the comparison is it a car and a cat

[@tomcat1226]

Hey Tiago, I love the Lego icons sets a lot! I know you love the Concorde and just wanna hear your thoughts on this. Would you like to see Lego make a Boeing 747 set? It would look great next to the Concorde in its first flight paint job!

[@Beasttrex_2025]

Hopefully there will come a bugatti eb110 of 1992

[@MicahPotts]

you can always build the ones by talented designers on Rebrickable!

[@AncientYouth64]

not sure if anone has noticed that all prices are going up for everything!

[@ProWierdchamp]

I really like the Lego icons big scale cars. This Countach looks so accurate and amazing, but the biggest flaw of the set was the dual wheels for the back. It looks like something that belongs on a off road truck. Why couldn’t they make a new wheel and tire for the back?

[@MicahPotts]

I think it looks good. I'll bet it's less noticeable in person and particularly on display.

[@zaidiatoranimation3947]

[@LiveoneLee]

Lego still need to complete the games console holy trinity, they have Sega licensing but we still have no MegaDrive/Genesis or Master System to complete the set

[@flipsideroot]

You know, I love lego but I could never afford the sets. $180 is expensive, but with your median income of around $40k thats only 0.4% of your annual budget. Not so far away from a nice dinner. But for someone like me living in third world country, currently the range rover icon set is priced at Rp 4million rupiah, which is already almost 10% of our yearly income, a month worth of salary. So yea, with prices only going up, only the rich can enjoy playing/collecting lego where i come from.

[@Rinkerdinker]

I like the speed champions one better

[@RichardCro]

Have to say the smaller version has been one of my favourite builds just as it was so much fun seeing how the Lego team got all of the shapes coming together. I am super excited to get his to add next to my 911.

[@SpaceCattttt]

I love the 'Tach as much as any man who grew up as a boy in the 80s........but I don't like this version of it. It looks like someone parked it in the car wash in 1986.......and then left it there until now! It's just a mess.

[@Tactical_Hotdog]

Woof, my guess was around £120 :s

[@BansheeNT-D]

Looks like a Cartoon version of the Countach... The freaking Speed Champions did a better job for 160€ less.

[@kennysgamesandtoys]

Imagine making a great revue just to say the set is mid because the price is about 20% too much for a Lamborghini…

[@obi-onekenerdi]

Why not Red, again? That’s baffling

[@MartyBecker]

Other than the price, another deal breaker is the choice of white for the color. Why? It’s going to discolor over time.

[@joevictor53]

Agreed. It's going to yellow over time and we just got another car in this line a few years ago that was also white

[@silentstormclan]

Huracan or Murcielago would be better than Countach. But good Lego has chosen Lambo at all.
