Off-Road Buggy

Off-Road Buggy made by Lego is fun and a creative output for my child. Durable and quality made. Hours of fun had with the off road buggy. I would highly recommend the Lego Off-Road Buggy. more less

It's not perfect, but as a replication of an RC car, many things are passable. The colors are striking, and the angles/shaping of the car really lend themselves well to form as well as function. In my opinion, it is certainly more pleasing and "fun" to look at than the messy Top Gear car, and I love that it embraces such a wild design instead of going for realism. more less

I do really like this set: it looks great and the new tyres and other parts are fantastic. On a technical level, the app works fine and perhaps for smaller fingers the virtual controller would be adequate. more less

Unless you really need an app-controlled Technic buggy in your life, there's not much to recommend it: it's expensive and it requires a smartphone and a large area to drive it in. Plus, when you're not playing with it, it is not a particularly attractive display model. more less

App-controlled vehicles are not cheap and consideration to the budget is important when picking up something like this. In comparison to buying the hub and motors separately, then, 42124 Off-Road Buggy offers immediate, clear value. And then, once the Technic set is built, six AA batteries (bought separately) are put in and it's whirring around the house in combat with the cat, there's no glancing at the receipt. This is absorbing fun, dynamic play and a great-looking model to build. Cheaper than the last two most comparable app-controlled Technic vehicles to have come out, 42124 Off-Road Buggy may not have as many of the functions, but is easily more immediately enjoyable, as it has been designed to be. more less

I certainly had a great time playing with it and I'm really happy to be able to try out the new beams and tyres. I still feel the set is a little on the expensive side, but I certainly do like it. more less
