Best for and who should skip it
Best for
- Teens 14 and up who like cars and want a focused build of a few evenings or less
- Fast & Furious fans who want the Eclipse on a shelf next to other movie cars
- Newer Technic builders who want steering and a moving engine without a gearbox
Skip it if
- You want a motorized or remote-controlled car
- You expect every movie detail, such as the hood graphic, to be included
What we like and what to keep in mind
What we like
- Steering, opening doors, hood, and trunk give it more to explore than a static model
- Movie details like the paint design and 2 NOS bottles in the trunk
- At 12 in. (31 cm) long it has shelf presence for its price
Keep in mind
- The functions are simple: steering and moving pistons, no gearbox
- One owner notes there is no sticker for the movie hood graphic
- Brickset had no member reviews when we checked, so feedback is thin
