“It's a great intro to Technic set - a unique vehicle, good functionality, nice part selection, and decently priced. I like it a lot and plan to keep it around as a finished set.”

“It's an interesting vehicle which, unlike many small Technic sets these days, packs in a good amount of technical functionality. So, as well as pleasing Technic old-hands like myself, it's a great introduction to the theme for budding engineers.”
