Nifeliz adventura wrange review

[Auroralampinen]

Adventura wrange review. 

 

Specs. 

Brand, Nifeliz

Model, Adventura Wrange

Release date, 2024

Pieces, 1993

Price, about 60€ on amazon plus about 20€ postage:).

No stickers this has only printed pieces 2 to be precise:). 

 

About the non license thing. I would not consider the lack of jeep license a pretty big thing, because in 2008 lego released the 8297, which looked really close to a jeep but without a jeep license. So I don't mind at all the lack of the official jeep license:). 

 

The model arrived in an amazon paper bag:). 

 

The box:). 

The box is above medium size, with nice artwork on the front:). 

 

Here is next to the 42209 box:). 

The box weights about 2kg

However the front artwork is really dark, it feels like you are building a batman set;). 

Here is an artwork comparison with a pantasy set:). 

 

The box is about 98% full:). 

 

Inside of the box. 

There are 2 massive bags containing all of the numbered bags inside:). 

 

Loose instructions booklet.

 

4 part trays which you have to assemble your self

 

And a sheet of german text(which i don't understand) :). 

 

In total this has 33 bags, stages 1 to 5

 

Instructions:). 

Instructions feel really premium for a 60€ set. But again the front cover is really dark Batman style artwork;).

 

 

The instructions book has 120 pages with 425 building phases:). 

First pages include nice artwork and text from the design team:). 

 

Last page has the designers names plus other stuff

 

However the wheels are incorrectly placed in the manual:). 

 

Interesting pieces:). 

 

This is really sneaky, the blue pins are frictionless on this set;). 

 

Build process

Ok, I messed up the first stage. There was a special number coding to ease the build. But I did miss it completely and opened everything at once:). 

 

Bag 1, 7 bags in total 

 

In the first bag I found a flat pin:/. 

 

And in the first bag there is this contraption:). 

 

Please throw that t piece in the garbage and use my created solution, this is way more robust solution:). 

 

This solution uses a bar on a clip and 3L bar:). 

 

Bag 2, 10 bags in total 

 

With bag 2 I learned how to correctly use the numbered bag system:). 

 

Bag 2 also had a little moulding defect

 

The windshield was nicely bagged into a separate bag, but it still had few scuffs.

 

The wheels came pre-assembled with correct alignment, and the chromed wheel rims look so good:). 

 

Bag 3, 5 bags in total 

 

Bag 3 was a true challenge due to the batman color scheme;).

 

Bag 4, 5 bags in total 

Bag 4 started with a lot of rock work. Interestingly the rock work was done separately and was really difficult to construct.

 

Bag 5, 6 bags in total 

Again the rock work construction was painful to build.

 

Spare parts:). 

Prepare for a heart attack. I didn't miss any steps and these pieces were left:). 

 

The stand:). 

The rock work is really good and convincing, however the build process was slightly frustrating in some areas. And there is a nice printed tile on the stand:). 

 

The stand with 42213 G500:). 

The stand is fully compatible with 42213 G500:). 

 

The model:).

The model looks really good with a lot of details:). 

 

Under the hood you find the V8, though the hood is slightly loose because it's connected only by axles:). 

 

And underneath the car you find a nice surprise. This has a 4x4 drivetrain with steering and pendular axles, though no suspension springs and no differential:). 

 

Comparison to the 42213 G500:). 

The 42213 G500 and the adventura wrange looks really good together:). 

 

Other note the nifeliz adventura wrange set, building experience did feel kind of like building my 42213 G500. There were some assemblies and techniques which were almost the same as my 42213 G500:). 

 

Interior:).  

The interior looks really good, there is 2 levers to imitate gearbox, and the steering wheel has a little printed tile with nifeliz logo. And the seats are adjustable:). 

 

Functions:).

Pendular suspension without springs, 

4x4 without differentials and with v8, 

Steering via the steering wheel:). 

Functions video:).

 

The drone;). 

The drone looks really good eventhough its a pretty simple build:). 

 

Piece quality:).

The red color is really interesting, I don't know what plastic they are using, but the red is kind of see-through. But the piece quality is really good and not a bottom of the barrel garbage, which you might expect for 60€ 2000pcs set. I'm pretty impressed by the quality of the pieces:). 

And nifeliz also has some nice chrome pieces just like pantasy, and a few prints:). 

And also 2 nice prints:).

Pros and cons:). 

+looks

 +4x4

+instructions

+value for money

+/- the suspension is really interesting because it does not use springs, but there are minor hiccups with this design, like this can lean to one side a little bit, but overall I'm happy that this does have some nice movement:). 

+/- the piece quality is pretty good but lacking in some areas, compared to the pantasy quality 95% good. This model's piece quality is 90% good with also chrome pieces and 2 prints:).

-doing the display stand rock work was a little bit painful since they are builded separately and are really fragile without connecting to the stand:).

 

Final note:).

The adventura wrange is a great model and build, with nice details, for the 60€ price you get a lot of bang for your buck. And the piece quality is above the average and not a bottom of the barrel garbage. The building experience was pretty great, though the rock work was slightly difficult to construct. The model looks really good, and since this is a 16+ display piece I would not criticize the lack of springs in the suspension system. Because you will most likely keep this in the stand. The design is unique and I will not criticize the stand because it does not inflate the price. If this was a lego model you would pay like 80€ for the offroader and 80€ for the stand in total 160€. So because this model stand isn't inflating the price, I can accept its inclusion in the model, and I think it will add a lot of display value:). 

The instructions were clear enough, but the miss alignment wheels in the instructions were a little bit annoying. But the wheels came with the correct orientation:). 

While the model is black on the inside the instructions were clear enough. But the stand needs a lot more attention due the black on black design:).

And bonus points for the nice introduction at the beginning of the manual. It does settle the mood really high when you start to build this. And overall I think a lot of care was put into the instructions:). 

But overall I'm really happy with this set. The price is excellent and the model looks great with the stand:). 

 

Final verdict:). 

Value 5/5

Building experience 4/5

Pieces 4/5

Instructions 4.5/5

Looks 5/5

Functions 4/5

 

Do I recommend this set? :). 

 

Honestly yes, this price is great and unheard for a 2000pcs high quality display toy, the piece quality was mostly good, about 4-5 pieces were not good but still usable. But the pieces aren’t the bottom of the barrel junk which you might be expecting at this price:). 

The 16+ age rating might seem a little bit silly, but trust me this is not a beginner build. The chassis is black without too much color vomit, and the stand is black inside so pay a lot of attention when building this:).

But, this is a 2024 model, and this is almost sold out on amazon deutschland so have a great time hunting this set on sale:). 

 

Ps, i found this set one night when I was browsing amazon deutschland for fun:). 

And this set stood out for me, so now i had an opportunity to buy it:). 

I thought at first, ok, this is a cool 800pcs set similar to the 42213:).

But no, I was totally wrong when I purchased this set. I saw the piece count was 1993;).

Update, the suspension was not a live axle it was pendular axle, i realised this in the evening and this started to haunt me. So i did fix the text:).
