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

item arrived but damaged package(didnt effect contents),item is huge comprising numerous bagged parts,with individual steps maked on bags,although i question the need to use so much plastic(1 bag has an elastic band in it),the build sequence is also huge,part select is confusing(i had to rework some steps as the wrong part was chosen,also the build sequence is confusing,putting a black piece onto a the main black bodie its impossible to know whats right(a more simple solution would be blackm piece showing where it goes onto a white or wire frame section.these kits are known for missing parts and from step 15 i got missing parts(luckily the spares box came to the resuce).Nifeliz has a feedback request at the b ack of their manual with a claim of 24 hour response(i sent over feedback/request a week ago and still no response).The only thing going for it is that is a nice green colour everythging else is rubbish,i am battling with this build,probably should cut my loses and put it in the spare parts box,would not buy another nefilez kit again

Bellissima

Magnifique !

I was skeptical to buy this but decided to go for it as a birthday present to myself. I’m around half way through the build and I am so glad I bought it. The model construction is more challenging than a Lego model but care and patience is needed. The building techniques are good and the model is very stiff / sturdy when handled. The bricks are good quality and so far no pieces are missing. The only difference I have noticed is that axle connectors do not turn as easily so a good tip is to make sure the axle connector is aligned (+ not x) before assembling to it. The instruction book has some info about the model and its designer and is good quality. Only observation is the diagrams are quite difficult to follow sometimes so require careful checking. Given the size of the book they could have been 25% larger which would have helped. Also it’s easy to misread which type of connectors is needed but it soon becomes apparent you’ve got it wrong if you got the wrong one. In summary it is great value for money and very entertaining to build.
