This is the NEXUS 720S Supercar bought off of Facebook store. The instruction booklet is almost 400 pages long. So, I have to fill up my tank because this is going to be a long ride !!!

Ages 8 + ?? Ok, so let me meet that 8 year old then -- Next few weeks, I shall be 69 - so lets see how the (+) works out !!! LOL

I am not sure whether to make a build log from this. This kit is super challenging, and not if you are prone to headaches or anxiety attacks --- LOL --- in a way, but really.

So, this is MAJOR BAG #1, which is broken down into three (3) Sub-Bags. I got hung up on the very first step - this is NOT the way to get started. The RED and BLACK connector PINS are not in Sub-Bag #1. So, here I go dragging out all the other bags (lost count) I think there are 15 or 20. Finally, I see this one Major Bag #12 that had a Sub-Bag that had the Black and Red connector pins -- -whew -- Good Grief!!

So, I guess if you are TOO organized or too literal of a thinker, you might be in trouble with this one.

All the parts for the first stage or section laid out. It took about 10 min of sorting through parts that I was missing BLACK and RED Connector Pins --- they were in a different Major Bag #12

I finally found the RED and BLACK Connector PINs and they were in Major Bag #12

That’s a very nice looking 1:8 model, Donnie. And with 3658 pieces to go you have to be organized!

OMG! This looks like a huge Lego model. It'll probably take you a couple of days to fit this all together. :)
I had a hard enough time with assembling these two. Of course, the 'instructions' were just a series of pictures. Also, some of the parts were in different bags, plus there were several extra parts added for extra confusion.
