Build and Design

The LEGO City 60383: Electric Sports Car is a set that caught my attention. As someone who isn’t a fan of electric cars or a supporter of Elon Musk, I was quite perplexed. However, I decided to give it a go and see what this set had to offer.

The build itself was quite simple, but that’s to be expected from a set aimed at 5-year-olds and above. It consisted of 95 pieces, allowing for a relatively quick and hassle-free completion. The car’s design, although colorful, remained simple in nature. The futuristic look, with its neon yellow detailing, cool wheels, and large rear spoiler, definitely caught my eye.

Features and Mini Figure

One of the highlights of this set is the inclusion of a toy charging station. It adds a touch of realism and gives you the opportunity to create a scene in your LEGO City. The driver mini figure also adds to the playability of the set. You can open the cockpit to see the driver and adjust the solar panels, giving the impression of charging the car.

Size and Comparison

In terms of size, the LEGO City 60383: Electric Sports Car measures over 1 and 12 inches in height, 4 12 inches in length, and 2 inches in width. This is comparable to most other City 10 sets I’ve come across. While the car design may be simple, it still manages to turn heads on your LEGO City street.

A Great Learning Set

This set is perfect for young builders who are just starting to explore the world of LEGO. It allows them to learn the basics of LEGO building and principles of construction. The simplicity of the set doesn’t make it any less enjoyable, especially for those in the target age range. However, as an adult, don’t expect it to provide the complexity that some larger sets offer.

A Nostalgic Journey

There’s something about smaller LEGO sets like this one that brings back memories of childhood. Building them in one sitting isn’t a hassle, and they aren’t a huge financial investment. The LEGO City 60383: Electric Sports Car set accomplishes just that. It takes you back to simpler times and resonates well with those who want a taste of nostalgia.

Overall, while I may not be an electric sports car enthusiast or a fan of Elon Musk, the LEGO City 60383: Electric Sports Car set surprised me with its simplicity and nostalgic appeal. It is a great set for young builders to learn and have fun with, and it offers a neat addition to any LEGO City.

Paint Job Complaints

I have come across complaints about the paint job of the LEGO City 60383 Electric Sports Car not matching other city sets, such as gas stations from the past. As a fan and collector, I find this to be a valid complaint. LEGO is supposed to be a system, and when they make changes like this, it puts us collectors in a tough spot when deciding to add a new set to our collection.

Aesthetics and Nostalgia

However, as a standalone set, I must admit that I thoroughly enjoyed the vibrant colors and intricate designs of this car. It now proudly stands by my Retro Gaming station, alongside my PlayStation 2 and CRT television. The LEGO City 60383 Electric Sports Car exudes a nostalgic vibe that perfectly complements my gaming setup and brings back fond memories.

Playability and Imagination

While it may lose some of its realism as an electric sports car, its playability is entirely up to the user’s imagination. If you want to give it some engine sounds, go ahead and make the experience more enjoyable. Engine sounds always add a touch of fun when playing with toy cars. Ultimately, it’s about creating your own stories and adventures.

Satisfying the Urge to Build

I must say that this LEGO set was a great way to scratch that itch when you just need to build something. The final build may seem simple, but considering the scale, the level of detail is commendable, surpassing many other cars in the same price range.
