The Full Take
The E-Type has been called the most beautiful car ever designed, and LEGO® had the good sense to let that shape do the heavy lifting here. At $139.99 this is fairly priced for an Icons vehicle of this scale — no asterisk needed. The build lands an A- overall, which means it's doing more right than wrong: the long hood, the fastback silhouette, the proportions all read correctly from across a room. Where it softens is longevity — this is a set you'll finish, admire, and then live with rather than return to. No minifigs means no secondary story, just the car, which is either the point or a limitation depending on what you came for. If you grew up watching E-Types in old films or your dad had a poster of one, this hits differently than the grade suggests.
