This is a really fun and challenging build. I just started bag 9 and have spent over 17 hours on it. I really wish I had spent the extra money to get the remote control build though. Can't wait to finish it and show it off.

Lange Bauzeit
Dies ist eines der schwierigsten Sets, die ich zusammengebaut habe — es hat mich 24 Stunden gekostet, nur unterbrochen vom Schlafen und Essen! Ich habe es absolut geliebt.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.5 / 5 from 374 reviews.
So far so good. Really enjoying the build so far. I wish there was a pdf version of the manual so I can zoom in on assembly portion to get closer look at where the parts line up. The printed version its sometimes difficult to tell. Can't wait to finish!
I will share once the kit is completed. Have a few more steps to do. Finally finished the kit. Please se the attached images.
Excellent build. Great instructions. Very relaxing.
Great build. Love it.
Excellent customer support!
My original order got lost somewhere in the system but Nexus sorted the problem and arranged a replacement Item which has arrived within a week. In process of the build now, some pictures for rear section watch out with the gears easily to make a mistake.
The product I received was not the product advertised on the website. You can see in the attached photo they are nothing alike. When I contacted Nexus Bricks, I was told you're sorry and I could have a full refunded if I returned the product. I requested a full refund and the radio silence from Nexus Brick, I speaking to Dean. After I reached out again, another appology and I was told you were trying to find an Australian warehouse for me to return the product. Then, you guessed it radio silence again and nothing from nexus Bricks. I have the email chain with nexus bricks pathetic replies and lack of care. This company is a scam stealing peoples money and nothing more, nexus bricks should be ashamed of themselves but scammers have no human decency so I'm sure you'll continue to scam people. I have had to submit a claim through my bank for your scam to get my money back.
Loved the Zenith 720s, a challenging build but excellent quality pieces and everything was in the box as expected (no missing pieces). Had one mid-build issue with one of the ratchet pieces for the engine cover lift not doing what it was supposed to. Messaged Nexus Bricks and they immediately dispatched a replacement piece to me in Australia with no questions asked - excellent service. Only wish the instruction manual was printed in A4 (rather than A5) so some of the smaller pieces could be identified a little easier and the assembly instruction while good would have benefited from a larger printed manual. Managed with a magnifying glass.
The instructions are horrible. The manual is small print and gives me a headache after more then a half hour trying to follow along. It falsely claims to have 1:1 scales to show correct parts, but these are not even remotely close to 1:1 scale. The manual seems like it was supposed to be a much friendlier print size but was reduced down. Many of the pictures you can not identify attachment locations because the parts are just show attached without direction lines or arrows to the connection points. The completed assembly is always greyed out, no color, bit this makes it difficult to see where transparent parts have been added in the step because they blend in. The build has you go back and add parts to assemblies in small spaces that have enough room for parts to fall inside and are difficult to hold in place to assemble. They don't understand the build outward where all the interior prices are placed before a piece that goes over the spot. The brick quality is not bad, butthere are scratches and machine marks, and the occasional broken piece. The bags had a foul odor when opened. The instructions show the motors being attached but the wires are removed from the instructions! There are zero instructions on which direction to place wires or where they should be run. This is ridiculous for a weird assembly. This manual is very amateurish and cheaply done for the price point of these cars. The instructions are the base of any build and important. This manual seems like an afterthought and is not user friendly. Bricks are adequate. They come apart at time when rotating or working on the price and have to be reattached. All the gearing works which is excellent. Seen many of these where the gears do not function correctly. Haven't finished build yet as I have to keep stopping and resting my eye from tiny pictue manual. If this manual was enlarged so that the 1:1 part legends were actually the size of the parts that would help substantially. I have also found at least one assembly where they showed more parts being used then were listed for the step. I hope this get better as I go along.
I received my nexus 720s and let me tell you it is Amazing I love it so intricate and so many details like the disc brakes I could go on but I have limited characters but it's Amazing
I spend more time looking for pieces than I thought I would be. The numbering on the bags made no sense and was not explained in the directions more. Instructions should be enlarged and better explanations
Love it
Quite a complex build but all the pieces were there and fitted together quite well, overall quite satisfying
First build with you guys. Loved it. Not easy, but that’s the fun 🤩
Still building the kit. Love it already.
It was a challenging and exciting build. My only complaint is one of the hydraulics for the doors was broken so only one will move with the remote control
Really enjoying the build, spending about an hour a day.... great hobby for retirement. Thanks
Bin noch nicht zum Aufbau gekommen, da die Bauanleitung fehlt. Wird aber bereits nachgesendet.
I’ve really enjoyed building this model, but I’m not really happy with the finished item. This is because it seems to lose a lot of rigidity when using the motors i.e opening the doors and roof panels, and don’t return in the correct place. That is such a shame because it is a lovely looking model when finished. I may consider removing the motors and have just has a static model. Best Regards, Geoff D.
I still haven't received the instruction manual missing from the box. The model is about 3/4 complete. It is a good build. Most parts probably fit tighter than on other models I have done from a similar company. However, I have converted the remote controlled door opening back to manual opening as one of the components failed during first test operation. Hope the rest of the RC components operate satisfactorily when completed. Enjoyable.
Well constructed and booklet should probably be bigger but using in conjunction with down load of booklet. Disappointed that the booklet was with the rest of the model. All good now and enjoying though early in construction.
Starting step 9. Been a ball but watch VERY carefully as you build. easy to get the wrong part or pin a wrong hole. If it doesn't seem right stop and verify. This will save you time later.
So far so good great challenge from my usual builds. Manual directions are well written and easy to follow
Was a little rough did not think directions were very good for a first time builder no explanation of the bags which one you should open first also when picking out pieces and how many of each one, it would be nice to have a color code next to each piece so you know which color you’re getting the gray the tan and the blue all tend to run together and then other than the fact I was missing a piece and they are sending it now I have already ordered another car thank you only other thing was no directions on how the stickers worked
Everything great except the wiring instructions. They are the worst I’ve ever tried to follow. Now having to undo a completed model and try to fix the power connections. Probably added another 8 hours of work.
First I thought it was a scam, but I ordered it anyway. Very surprised when the tracking information was provided and arrived slightly late. Been only working on this in my spare time, but I am enjoying the build. I have built a few LEGO Technics cars and Construction vehicles and this build is very similar. I like it very much.
Very Challenging, worth the time and money, look forward to doing more
Just started it a day or so ago... the design seems spot on. The instructions are a little hard to decipher, an english version would be a nice add... I'm an old fella, built models all my Life was lookin for a challenge n got one. At least for my simple mind overall real happy with the purchase.
Loved it, instruction easy to follow
Solid and challenging build. I wish there were steps to test the motor assemblies along the way, but for the most part it came together very nicely. I might have been a little easier to assemble by following the static option instructions vs the dynamic ones. All and all I was very happy with the kit and the associated value.
Great and challenging build. Loved it! Only thing I would recommend is a little better instructions at key parts of the build.
It was really challenging as much as technic series. Good to try
I really liked the set. I wasnt sure since it is a different brand but it is good to give a chance. Quality was really good
took me like 2 evenings to build cause i was tired after work, but it was fun, instructions mostly clear except like 1 step where i got confused.
color is gorgeous in real life, kinda glossy but not cheap plastic shiny, feels premium.
had one piece that i thought was missing but no, i just dropped it under the couch lmao.
Haven’t fully finished it yet but I’m almost there — definitely better than I expected. Thanks!
Arrived exactly on time as stated. The quality is great, I totally recommend it.
I haven’t had the chance to build it yet, but it arrived without any issues. I’ve shopped here before and was always satisfied.
