In addition I had to recalibrate steering several times. App-based control is ok, but without physical levers, you spend a lot of time looking at your phone to keep your fingers in the right position, rather than looking where you're driving. You're paying more for new tech than for playability.","review_amount":"35","rating_original":"4.3","rating_converted":"86.00","author_name":null,"embed":null},{"review_url":"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/deeplink?id=TZZm7nNaZzs&mid=13923&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lego.com%2Fen-US%2Fproduct%2F42099","snippet":"My son loves this one. It took him a while to build and he didn't not do it in one go but over a couple of weeks. Just like other LEGO kits, this one is easy and very user friendly. The app was easy to connect to and use, and he loved that it worked like any remote control car only this time he built it. Personally, I found this set to be very rewarding for a child and i love the fact that it can actually be used after assembly and not just sit there gathering dust.","review_amount":"51","rating_original":"4.0784","rating_converted":"81.57","author_name":null,"embed":null},{"review_url":"https:\/\/blocksmag.com\/product\/issue-61\/","snippet":"42099 X-Treme Off-Roader was reviewed in issue 61 of Blocks Magazine.","review_amount":null,"rating_original":"81","rating_converted":"81.00","author_name":null,"embed":null},{"review_url":"https:\/\/brickset.com\/reviews\/set-42099-1","snippet":null,"review_amount":"3","rating_original":"4","rating_converted":"80.00","author_name":null,"embed":null},{"review_url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=h7NkzWooPvk","snippet":null,"review_amount":null,"rating_original":"4","rating_converted":"80.00","author_name":"Pawe\u0142 Kmie\u0107","embed":"<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/h7NkzWooPvk?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Embedded video from YouTube\"><\/iframe>"},{"review_url":"https:\/\/www.eurobricks.com\/forum\/index.php?\/forums\/topic\/176190-review-42099-4x4-x-treme-off-roader\/&amp;do=findComment&amp;comment=3206928","snippet":"Overall I like this set, but I do think it's better to fork out some extra cash and get the Liebherr.","review_amount":null,"rating_original":"7.2","rating_converted":"72.00","author_name":"Jim","embed":null},{"review_url":"https:\/\/brickset.com\/article\/45003\/review-42099-4x4-x-treme-off-roader-(2)","snippet":"The vehicle looks awesome: big, brash, and brutish.

A fake motor, preferably functioning, would have been a welcome addition. Thanks to the use of two big turntable and spring-based suspension the crawler is very versatile and can easily conquer rough terrain and small obstacles. Its biggest let down is the steeping price.","review_amount":null,"rating_original":null,"rating_converted":null,"author_name":"Tim Johnson","embed":null},{"review_url":"https:\/\/www.brothers-brick.com\/2019\/08\/01\/a-little-dirt-never-hurt-lego-technic-42099-4x4-x-treme-off-roader-review\/","snippet":"Although the status of Powered Up elements is yet unclear (the Control+ app is locked to the model and can't be used in custom creations at the moment), the model offers a lot of value for its price: enjoyable assembling experience, fresh design and tons of playability including in-app challenges and free driving using one-touch control. Once again, LEGO prepared not just a toy or a set of plastic pieces, but rather a very impressing experience from the second you open the box till the moment you have to take a break to replace the batteries; this is a smart toy that is very hard to stop playing with.","review_amount":null,"rating_original":null,"rating_converted":null,"author_name":"Alexander","embed":null}]}
