“The green color is pretty rare, and there are quite a lot of parts in this color. The chassis is studless, with which you can extend your studless parts collection rather much. It has some cool parts in cool colors. Red axles of 4 and 12, red 3 x 5 quarter-oval liftarms,... More even a few red bushes. No fewer than 13 beams of length 15.”
