“This one has recently increased in collectability purely due to the announcement during last week of the Airport subtheme of City being released in the second half of 2016. For those of us wanting to increase our fleet of aircraft, this will be a prime candidate. It's... More currently fetching a little higher on the secondary markets for used, and more than double for a new copy, so if you aren't precious about a sealed box, it won't hurt the wallet too much more.”

A Nice Regional Jet with Bonus Tug and Radar - Perfect for a Lego Airport — “I am overall very pleased with this purchase. The airplane is the definite highlight of this set, but the accompanying tug and radar are such exceptional pieces based on their functionality that they more than make up for any shortcomings the aircraft, itself, may have. If... More you have other aircraft already, this one will probably not top your list as a favorite, nor will it steal the spotlight from any collection, but it is almost an essential purchase, if just for the radar and the tug.”
