Brickset
“It's a nice-looking model, even without the stickers and I'm sure kids will have hours of fun swooshing it around the room. Being Technic, it's particularly suited to that as it's less likely to fall apart while doing so than a System model. For AFOLs, other than the teal... More parts which will be useful to add to 51515 Robot Inventor, there's not much to recommend it.”

“It's good for kids, has a nice visual design and color scheme, and a good selection of parts. With that said, when compared to other small sets like 42102, though, it's not quite as engaging, which keeps it from the upper tier.”
