Best Lightning Toy Yet, Compliments of AliExpress [of all places]

[WHPHLightning]

Took a chance and ordered this toy from AliExpress and am officially ready to give it the top spot of all toy versions of the Lightning so far.

Awesome attention to detail, including an EV charge station that connects to the truck, working doors/tailgate, and pull-back-to-go functionality.

10/10, The only way to make it better would be a working Frunk!

Just bought two for the kids. They raised the price from $8/per to $14/per as I was checking out. Thanks for the recommendation!

Nice, they have my color so ordered one with the charging station for about $9 shipped from a different seller that had it about a dollar cheaper. The 1/2 off "Welcome" price is only valid on one, so adding 2 kicks the price up on the 2nd one.

@WHPHLightning does yours have a battery spot? I just saw this on the listing. I wonder what it powers.

Your whole house for 3 days? ....... being that its ali express it probably makes ice engine noises. or worse yet the frunk beeping noises... actually.... I'm betting tis the light bar.

This is the same one I ordered, I haven't gotten it yet, but glad to know it seems good quality!

Okay. I need one.

I got mine in and it looks pretty nice. It is larger than the Hallmark ornament and I included some pictures comparing the size of both.

Here are some observations:

• Shipped in a small styrofoam box like a mini cooler.
• Takes 3 AG13/LR44 (not included). You can get 10 for $4 on Amazon
• Underside states "1:36 2022 F-150 Lightning Platinu USED UNDER LICENSE". Platinum is missing the "m".
• Both front doors open along with the tailgate and appear to be plastic unlike the metal body.
• You cannot open the back doors or the frunk.
• When you open the doors it gives a double chirp and the front light flash with the chirp.
• If you plug in the EV charging plug the lights flash and it says something in some non-English language.
• When you pull it back and let go it will roll across the floor and make some kind of noises that I think are supposed to be engine sounds.
• It has the lightning wording written on the back sides near the tailgate.
• It has the lightning US flag on the tailgate, but it's hard to make out
• The taillights and tailgate light bar are red transparent plastic pieces and look nice. They do not light up.
• The bottom has a driveshaft and some headers w/cats in the middle. This model was likely based on the ICE version
• Wheels are black and don't look like any stock Lightning wheels. Closest match is the Lariat
• Tires feel like rubber and there is a plastic spare underneath molded into the underbody.
• Rear sliding glass window, but it doesn't open.
• Rear license plate "F-150 Lightning"
• Tailgate has "F-150" embedded in it
• Has running boards and black truck bed liner
• Front grill is black and so is all of the interior
• Interior has dash speaker that is not warped, so not very realistic
• Not US made, so not eligible for $7.50 federal tax rebate

When did you order yours? I ordered on the 3rd. Patiently waiting.

 

[sstevetx]

On the 2nd, but the seller I picked had 14 day shipping

 

[Blochead21]

Sweet! I ordered both of mine on the second and they are scheduled to be delivered tomorrow.

 

[Blochead21]

Just got mine in. Totally worth the price. The kids are going to love these. Now just need to order some batteries.

 

[Pioneer74]

Ok. Got mine in. Can somebody explain what the batteries will power? Just trying to decide if it's worth it to get some. And I don't see an on/off switch.

 

[Blochead21]

@Pioneer74 With the batteries in, the front light bar turns on and a quick car lock chirp happens when the front doors open, which is nice looking. However when you plug in the charger another voice speaks in a foreign language non stop, which is obviously annoying.
