about 5 years ago I bought this set. I was mindblown by how beautiful, big and detailed it was. Now a long time later, I still have 0 regrets. This set is not the best set for a 5 year old, but if a 10 year old is very experienced, there's no harm in giving them this magnificent set as they will probably cherish it forever, and if not, they can sell it in the future for probably quite a bit of profit.
