Nifeliz Valor Sports Car Building Set, Scale Model Car Gift for Adults, Authentically Detailed Build and Display Model for Home or Office Décor (3374PCS, NF10268)

This was a great, fun build. I love the color it looks great. The instructions were easy to use and to follow. I would recommend this to any avid builder. This was a great value for its money. Easy to move and handle - very sturdy. Doors open and close no problem. All in all this was a fantastic build.

I have been a Lego Technic enthusiast for many years. I have built several of their "big cars" including the Bugatti, Lamborghini, and Ferrari. I also used to get Lego sets all the time for my two sons. However, over the last couple of years I have moved away from purchasing Lego products because of their insane prices. Somehow I stumbled on the Nifeliz building sets and was immediately intrigued by their designs. They are not knock offs of Lego designs, but are all original concepts. I purchased one of their top end car builds, called the Valor. The price was only $129 which is approximately 75% less than the new Lego Technic McLaren ($450). I was somewhat skeptical that the quality would not match Lego, but I was mistaken. Although the Nifeliz Valor is not designed from a real sports car, it has every bit of the detail of the big Lego sets. Even the packaging was beautiful. It came with 3 smaller boxes nestled in the big box. The color manual was detailed and easy to understand. Like Lego Technic cars, The Nifeliz Valor is a very time consuming build made for experienced Lego Technic enthusiasts.. I worked on it at my leisure for the last 6 weeks and it is now complete. Dare I say it is actually a better product than the big Lego Technic cars? The answer is yes. This thing is was brilliantly designed and engineered. If you take price into consideration, it is no contest, Nifeliz wins hands down. As I was building it, I felt that the developer of this set was probably a past Lego engineer that perhaps wanted to venture out on his own. I will be purchasing more Nifeliz products in the future. I only wish they were able to market their products better in the US so more people knew about this company. Anyone who builds one of these will never go back to Lego.

This was a very fun build. Pros: Pieces fit together very smoothly. Zero missing pieces that I can remember, and it had the most extra pieces of any model I’ve ever built (almost to the point of me wondering if I missed steps because there were so many leftover parts!) The instructions were clear to see and easy to follow. The manual had nice photos of the actual car and the completed model. Everything felt very high quality, on par with Lego. The model came in a very nice box, and came with a cardboard assembly box and bookmark, nice touches even though they weren’t really necessary. Cons: there were seven major sections, but each major section is divided into smaller steps, consisting of the major section divided into smaller “sub bags”. This is the first model I’ve built like that, so instead of roughly 28 sections, there were 7 sections with at least 4 “sub bags” each. Just pay attention to the tiny bag numbers assigned to each major section. The final finish is metallic green, and a few of the pieces are very slightly different tint, but it’s really only noticeable in certain lighting situations. Overall I gave this 5 stars, but I would rate it 9/10 if there were 10 stars.

Let’s answer the big question most folks have: is it worth buying? Simple answer: Absolutely! I can say I’d buy it again in a heart beat. I love the design, the final look, the color (yes, that seriously non-LEGO green!), the piece quality, and (can’t forget this) that ridiculously low price. Wow…loved that part for sure! On to some more details (including why it’s NOT a 5 star…[Hey Nifeliz, get ahold of me if you want to fix any of this]…but could have been As I said, the pieces are really high quality. Honestly, there really is no difference between them and that “other” well known brand. In fact I found myself looking for the recognizable brand name somewhere on the parts. They connect well and have the same clutch strength too. It was really rare that I ever felt a piece would come disconnected (there were a couple though). From a build standpoint, it was top notch, but at times the engineering design missed a beat. Several times I was scratching my head asking “Why did they do it THAT way?” Keep in mind that I’ve built a ton of cars including a lot of technical ones with piece counts in the thousands, so I have quite a few to compare it to. It always worked out and I never had an issue with aspects functioning properly once finished, but I was frustrated more than a few times. If you’re NOT an experienced builder, you may not want to start with this one. The instruction book was really well built and felt very solid in my hands. Given that Nifeliz maintained a common color scheme, it was at times difficult to discern precisely where a part went. I found myself holding the book within inches of my face just so I wouldn’t commit a critical mistake (you know, the one you discover 50 pages later and are left deciding between disassembly and seeing if this car can fly). A bit more color variation in the instructions would have been very very helpful. Also, I built the LEGO Ferrari a couple years ago (same size, same complexity) and its instructions spanned two large manuals (thank you LEGO), where this one was crammed into one. This means that a set of instructions that should have taken 2 pages are compressed into a quarter of a single page…oof. Bags, lots of bags, but I’m used to that. But…the way they’re numbered, well, that’s an odd one for sure. There are a total of 7 bag sets, but each set is something like 8 bags and those bags have a little code for which ones go in what order…and it’s not hard to mess that up, leaving you with a bunch of open parts you don’t need and may lose before you get to them (especially if cats, dogs, or little fingers get curious). Well, that’s pretty much it from me this time. Hope it helped! Oh, and I’m not an Amazon Vine guy…but I sure would LOVE to be (hint, hint…common Amazon, let’s do it!). Enjoy the build! Dr. Brick

Wow! What a build! This one is definitely not for the beginners. Not only is it huge, but there is a lot of detail. The instructions are good, but not Lego detailed. You really have to see where to assemble some things just using past experience, and also common sense. I found myself questioning placement of some sub assemblies because it just didn't look right, and most of the time I didn't have it right but recognized it due to past build knowledge. There were no missing pieces which is always a plus. Nothing I hate more is missing pieces and have to hunt from extras from previous builds, or head to the Lego store and wait for 2 weeks for the part to come in the mail. Like I said, the instructions are not like Lego but you can work with them. There are a lot of steps on one page and with almost 4000 pieces the manual only has 200 pages that include 584 steps. Most of the sub assemblies are for left and right side of the car and are identical. I noticed that most of the time the first assembly is for the opposite side of the way the car is depicted. I just built both sub assemblies placed the one side shown in the diagram into place then placed the opposite side that doesn't show placement, worked out great that way. Very challenging build, but a lot of fun. The price is a bargain for what you end up with. This thing looks so good, I bought a display case for it. Recommend this 100% for the big build enthusiasts.

I'll take this over a Lego set any day - better designs, nicer features, lots of extra pieces, small add-ons, and somewhat challenging. Great deal.

This nifeliz valor set really surprised me, the attention to detail really blew me away. There are absolutely no missing pieces in this nifeliz valor set, I will say though this set is definitely not for beginners, I'd say it's more for people who have been building technic cars for awhile, that being said I 100% recommend. 👍

**UPDATE** I have now completed this car set and honestly, it's a nightmare. Even if you've done the Lego Technic sets, this is only for extremely advanced builders. A lot of the instructions are very unclear on where things go and it leaves you guessing. Then 20 steps after that you discover you placed something in the wrong place due to very confusing instructions. This is very poorly designed which is unfortunate because it looks amazing. They use certain pieces in ways that Lego does not and they don't bother to tell you to ve mindful of how pieces are being placed together. Esthetics 10/10 Instructions 5/10 Functionality of gears 4/10 Overall design compared to Lego 2/10 This is not for the faint of heart. If you're going to buy this set then you better be experienced. And my biggest advice? Take. Your. Time. *********** I wanted to post a review as I build this so those who are thinking of getting this brand know of a couple things. As someone else mentioned, step 24 with the rubber band can't be fully completed until step 59. Put the rubber band on step 59. Mine came with a revision for steps 309 and 470 and it's to use different pieces than in the book. Also, refers to the pictures for the pieces the have the + shape on one end. You need to ber very mindful of how you place these otherwise getting pieces to snap together will be a pain. You need to make sure they are all facing + + and not ×+ or ×× because it can make things difficult. So far it's been fun but challenging at times. I've done 7 of the Lego technic sets and needed something more challenging but Lego can get expensive. The green color looks sharp too.
