The Ostrich Race Reviews
Eurobricks
“I enjoyed this set very much, even though it contains less combat and weapons, but the overall beauty lies in the incredible ostriches. I supposed most of us will be grabbing a few sets, mainly just for the ostriches. Other than that, the unique minifigures and parts are... More another great reason for you to get one too.”
Brickipedia
