Returning to Lego, purchasers of the McLaren Formula 1TM Race Car praised the complexities involved in constructing the set.

Another purchaser of the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory remarked: “I absolutely love this set. It is such a staple moment in the film, so to have it brought to life by Lego is amazing.
“I am a sucker for small details and Easter eggs. Willy’s office and the edible wallpaper is so great.I like the little door in the rock wall that the Oompa Loompas disappear into. Building the candy and plants was so fun, especially when they all came together. Overall, just a great piece and I love being able to display it.”
Another customer of the McLaren set commented: “One of the decals set had air bubbles but not a big deal because it looks ok when applied. Some details have a different blue colour (side details on the spoiler).”
Lastly, another buyer of the Willy Wonka set expressed: “This is an awesome set, I love all the details and the characters. Please bring more Willy Wonka sets.”
