LEGO 10304 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 detailed building review

[@RacingBrick]

A little background information before the "Where is the Airbus video?!?!" comments start to appear - I did not edit the video in my studio, I am not even at home. I'm sure lot of you expected to see the review of the Airbus before this one, I'm sorry but you'll need to wait a bit more. Some circumstances are way beyond me, we've been working really hard in the past weeks to bring you all these reviews on time, but unexpected things happen sometimes and family is always a priority. All I ask is to keep your frustration level in the comment section low and be patient, the detailed building review of the Airbus and the Material Handler will also come in a timely manner. Thank you.

[@daltonpiasente361]

honestly i think that you are overworking yourself... but still, thanks balazs

[@leronpereira6859]

No problem bro, keep 'em review coming ☺️... we'll be patient nonetheless 👍🏼, take care of yourself and family first 🙏🏼...nice to see the castle reference in this set, with arches and axes 😁

[@EMoney763]

Hey @RacingBrick, I was wondering which you would recommend, the BTTF Delorean or this Camaro. I’m going to purchase one soon but I’m not so sure on which to get.

[@RoadRageRod]

@@EMoney763 Since DMC and Camero have the same price currently but the DMC is rumored to increase to 200 € rrp i would tend to snatch up one of the first DMCs with a decent rebate in the next couple weeks. Also the DMC has more parts, two Minifigs and a well known movie franchise on top of being an iconic car.

[@EMoney763]

@@RoadRageRod Okay thanks. It’s actually difficult to find a Delorean at my local Lego Store and everything online is either sold out or unreasonably priced.

2:27 back in 1969 when this car came out, people used disc-shaped pieces of metal as currency. This printed element is probably a reference to a so-called "nickel", a coin which had about the same purchasing power in 1969 as $0.40 today.

This is why I love RacingBrick. Even though he gets free sets from Lego, he's not afraid to criticise or make complaints. When I saw Bricksie's preview of it, he was saying the black on black box looked sleek and amazing. Even if you like the 18+ boxes, there is no way this particular set looks good with a black background

[@bricktopian]

Yeah I think the black boxes shouldn't be all of the time. I mean the 90th anniversary sets are 18+ and they look great as non-black boxes

[@joevictor53]

@@bricktopian Agreed. Some sets like Lego Art, Botanical collection, etc look great but sets like the old Roller Coaster or the Mustang look way better with actual box art than the newer 18+ sets in those series with just a dull black void

[@leronpereira6859]

Though I respect Bricksie 🙏🏼, he does get excited and hyped up over everything 😟, he doesn't get critical much and that causes doubt in every lego fan of whether they should go in for the set or not 😞

It's an excellent set for sure. I will probably pick it up in the future since it would look pretty nice next to my 911. The only downside is that they decided to give us stickers instead of the printed pieces like on the Porsche.

[@babyskinboots5291]

I'm still beyond excited for the release of this kit! I wish Lego would attempt the 5th gen Camaro in the iconic rally yellow color partly because that's the exact car I drive lol

The thing is, the 69 Z/28 never had a convertible option, the other versions of the 69 did however. In research I did find that a 68 Z/28 was made with a convertible top, of which there’s only ONE made for special order via COPO. The body style is similar enough so other badges could have been included for accuracy. Also the hideaway headlights were only on the Rally Sport version of the Z/28, so it would have been nice to get the proper Rally Sport side plates to match as well. Other than that I’m glad they went for Tuxedo Black! It’s not that bad of a model.

[@IvanForpatril]

I still would prefer it to be some other colour, maybe red with black stripes. That being said, it looks very cool especially as a convertible with that interior. Hopefully I'll find a way to acquire one...

[@Thinginator]

Agreed, if they wanted to build a black muscle car it should’ve been a Charger, Camaros look better in flashy colors. I’m crossing my fingers that someday those fender pieces will be available in red.

Great review from Racing Brick, as usual. Like his attention to detail, especially to working components. And both pros and cons. Miss the protection on the windscreen...was hoping the Delorean one was the start of a good trend...guess not. Was always thinking it was a bit off in earlier pictures but then realized it was missing the "gills". Airbus? In good time...and looking forward to your review. We all have other commitments and it's not always about being the first out there as long as it is a good trusted review from a great LEGO reviewer.

[@janekmorel]

Exactly, why use windscreen protection in one set, but not the other? It's the same theme and same price level. Lego sometimes makes no sense.

[@ForeverLHR]

This means that the cowl tag would have shown "50-50" and the window sticker, as shown in the Exterior Paint RPO Codes Table, would have had "5911CC DOVER WHITE" printed on it (where the initial "5" is the Chevrolet prefix indicating Camaro).

A lot of ‘off colour’ bricks used in the structure as is the norm these days. Most of it does appear to get covered up, but just wondering how much you can still see under the arches and bonnet, in the interior crevices etc? Apparently it was a real problem on the BTTF Delorean set.

Another great review and build. As always your honest opinion and thoughts are always appreciated. I will be getting one, (chevy fan) I think it complements the mustang very nice.

[@wildcard3699]

i hate that it’s so similar to the mustang, mainly because of the lack of body curve on the sides. if you aren’t a car guy, the mustang is a better buy, because it has better features and a lot cleaner of a look. The camaro had so much potential and i think lego missed on this one. Still going to buy it though!😂

[@josephpeoples2621]

Did anyone else not like the way the Z/28 sticker looked on the grille and cut sections of it off to make it blend in better, or was it just me?

[@hyperion_015]

only nit pick i have about the car is that they choose black for the main color it hides a lot of details i think and a more colorful option would have been better like the orange of the real car in the instruction book

[@jacobmonger7803]

[@jackomand8775]

The overall exterior looks amazing. The new fender flare pieces look awesome. But the INTERIOR. My god the steering wheel is off by two studs and the gauges aren't even aligned. If Lego put more effort into the interiors of these cars they would look SO much better

[@EarthyRanger772]

So, we got a chevy, and a ford, im hoping the next icon model is a 1970 Dodge Challenger (my dream car) also it would be really cool to get some Hemi printed tiles.

[@Void_s]

Ohh, in its crazy violet color? Me too, man, me too!

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

Not the first time Lego has done black on black on a box design (89 Batmobile) but no less dumb. That aside nicely detailed review. Doesn't look like any new techniques or special tricks building the car, but given Lego already much nailed it with the Mustang, and Porsche 911 it's about as expected. Really strange for Lego not to gear the steering for the car but other than that and the feeling the dice needed numbered printing on those 1X2s to properly represent them no real complaints. Like how similarly it scales to the Mustang making a perfect shelf mate.

[@JACS_1102]

Awesome video 👍😎

[@billynomates920]

i like the colours. it's a murdered-out gangster camaro. outlaw americana for 'adults'. frankly, i'm miffed they haven't thrown a pack of luckys in the box. ;-)

[@arghjayem]

I don’t mind the black on black on the box. I’d rather have the car obscured by the matching colour of it and the box than have another mostly white LEGO set which will no doubt yellow over the years 🤷 And I’m really glad it comes with a convertible as the alternative build. I hated the alternative build on the Mustang it just looked silly so it took some careful building to turn it into a convertible, which I actually think looks better than the base design

And the mess comes back - Porsche 10295 had no stickers at all - now we have tons of stickers again

[@RacingBrick]

Don't know why would it be better e.g. to have printed license plates? Does it add that much to the set? Yeah some of the badges could have been smoother with prints, but I don't really get all that hate towards stickers. Mustang had prints for the side stripes, and they were messed up, another potential problem :D Stickers can look ugly after years that's true, but prints can also get scratched off easily, so none of them is an ultimate solution.

[@kirtechnic]

@@RacingBrick Maybe my comment wasn't enough clear :) Personally I don't like stickers, but it's my problem. I wanted to say that there is no logic - very similar sets have different approach and you never know what to expect )

[@RacingBrick]

@@kirtechnic I guess it depends on many factors. As far as I know there's a quota for specialized parts in a given batch, possibly not even limited to a single theme. If there's enough capacity to have unique printed parts and the theme justifies it, then there might be prints. If lots of prints were made for other sets already and they had priority, then others might end up with mostly stickers.

[@mbphilipblack8993]

Someone needs to mod/moc this into The Transformers: Rise of the Beasts bumblebee and alter the Optimus Prime from earlier in the year as they would look great together my reason for buying one. It looks really good, I love the fact that it includes the other decals/colour options and the 2in1 thing they did for the Porsche. The cars body has nice curves and great profile the rear looks like a fun assembly could say that for the entire build only concern that it will be similar to the Mustang as that was muscle car to and LEGO have been prone to use near identical builds across sets looking at the Daytona's gear box copying the Sian's. I prefer the creator expert/icons cars to the technic stuff as the scale is great and prices are within my budget plus they're easier to modify I hope they do more, I'm leaning towards some licensed vehicles but seeing how Speed Champions is moving towards that we should be seeing more often.

[@Nico71Fr]

Very nice review (as usual !). I see that Lego use a lot of unusual connection now, with clips, pins, bracket etc for instance for the front part to connecte to the chassis. From your review experience, do you know when was the turn about it for the designer ? From designing chassis basically with only plate and now with multi assemble upside down connection etc.

Creator Expert cars had more and more of this approach in the recent years already, I don't think there was an exact turning point, more like an evolution.

Hey, don´t you have those car nuts in Hungary who drive through dusk with cars in dark grey or black paint and without their lights on or just the daytime running lights to create an arcane badass look when cruising around?
