" I must admit when I first saw photos of the latest Creator Expert Car I was extremely disappointed. It looked like a poor representation of the subject matter and I was put off purchasing it.
However I ended up receiving the set as a gift for Christmas and set about building it. It's a challenging build due to the several in built functional features. I'm still not 100% sure I've got it right, as the gearstick operated front guns mechanism sticks most of the time, although I can't figure out where I went wrong.
The good news is when built and on display it doesn't look anywhere near as squared off as I'd originally thought. In my display cabinet with all the other creator cars it doesn't look out of place at all, given what the designer has to work with they've done a good job with the curves. The only thing that really stands out is the heavily squared off front end that lets it down a bit from head on.
I can understand why the compromises have been made though, as the actual functional bond gadget elements have been incorporated well. Only the aforementioned guns, which may again be a mistake on my part.
I'm very happy with this set, it exceeded my low expectations by a long way and if you collect the Creator cars this compliments the rest of the series really well. If you have been putting off purchasing it due to pictures you've seen, don't be.
