Better call 911 because this set is HOT! The Porsche 911 Icons set released in 2022 is a must have for any enthusiast of Porsches, auto-racing, or the other vehicles in this theme.

The set achieves full points in design and build as the two blend seamlessly. The techniques of SNOT on the front and rear fenders, the hinges in the rear to give the perfect angle on the trunk and spoiler, and the incredibly detailed nose all compliment each other perfectly. My favorite part to build was the nose which includes the front bumper, license plate, turn signals, headlights, and tip of the hood all sit flush with minimal stud stacking. By far the most gratifying part of the build and design of this set is the handful of included printed bricks rather than the flimsy sticker sheet. This use of printed elements alone edges this set just ahead of the Corvette which features stickers.

The inflated Cost of the set and impractical Playability bring this set back to reality with an average overall score. I think this set would earn an additional star for Cost if the price was $149.99 or less.

Buy this set if you are 911 enthusiast or are looking to expand your ICONS Dream Car theme.

LEGO worked up another legendary roadster which will attract the attention of any fan of LEGO and any Classic Car enthusiast. The Chevrolet Corvette is an exceptionally detailed and creatively built set. Receiving full marks for Design and Build, this set deserves a prominent place in your displays or shelves. As demonstrated in the gallery photos, the Corvette is gorgeous from every angle and features tiny details which take the set from good to great. The set includes functioning trunk and hood which can be opened to view the engine, swinging doors to access the bucket seats, and an articulating steering wheel which steers the roadster. The dollar to piece ration is on the high side, and the lack of minifigures and playable narratives means this set scores low in Cost and Playability but don’t let that discourage you from owning this truly awesome set.
