“This set is definitely a good one, but it isn't really an absolute must-have, unless you need more vintage vehicles for your LEGO collection. The models are great, except for the small campsite, which begs for something else to be added to it. The set is also good in terms... More of MOC-ability, as it offers vehicle bricks that are in rare colors.”

Lego Maniacs' Guide
“The two main models of the set are a biplane and a car. The car is the standard Adventurer car (two-seater with an open cargo box located behind the seats) with the interesting additions of a trailer hitch and a passenger-side sideboard with two rifles mounted on it. The... More biplane is a bit larger than the 5928 model with a tan body and white wings. The different aspects of this set's bi-plane include engine bay doors, a mountable movie camera, and the plane allows for a 3x4 cargo box to be loaded just in front of the plane's wheels.”
