Lots of potential for these kits.
" I've been excited since I heard about these sets as LEGO cars are my favorite builds. This set and the other cars in the series are fairly easy builds and are enjoyable to piece together. One thing to note is that these kits all have a lot of stickers and younger builders may need help in applying them neatly. The builds are solid and should stand up to a decent level of play, but I suspect adult collectors will be choosing to display these. Overall they look good. One of the really cool features are the changeable wheel styles. Each car comes with two hub types to choose for the wheels. Hopefully this will mean more options should there be further releases in this theme. The only real gripe I have is that the designers stuck to a "six wide" limit which ultimately leaves the cars more boxy looking than their real life counterparts. Had they designed these as "eight wide" they could have been much more accurate, but I imagine at a significantly higher price point. As they are, these are great sets for the money but I would have liked to see the Ferrari truck include two racers. The Porsches are the best looking of the sets in my opinion.

Green Classic Space Minifigures!
" Alright, if you are a collector of space LEGO then you probably already know about this set. If you are here for the first time, be aware that this set is not very suitable to younger children. It is fragile when built and will probably not hold up well during play. If you are an adult fan and aren't sure about this set, I can assure you it is very nicely designed, although with LEGO Group outsourcing some of their manufacturing the tolerances on the fit of some pieces is sub-par, so some connections are a bit less than tight. This makes a fantastic display piece, but a poor plaything. The minifigures are very neat being that they are the first time the classic space figure has been done in green, and this is the main reason I picked up this set. Personally, I wish LEGO had used the classic smiling head and the original helmet mold, but these are still acceptable with the more modern helmet and the newer, gender-specific heads (there is a male and female astronaut). Overall this is a very nice, collector-oriented set.

Nice kit with great minifigs and new pieces.
" As an AFOL, I bought this set for my own use because of the minifigures and the new pieces. I primarily collect minifigs, and the new moustache and hair pieces in this set are great! The little black moustache even has a spare in the kit so you get two! I switched out the robot head and hand pieces for yellow ones creating two very nice cowboy minifigs. The Emmett figure's hair is new and will go to use on another figure. This set would be a good one for play even at it's small size because the glider and horse easily induce thoughts of action story ideas even for me as an adult.Overall this set offers a good bit of collector AND play value for it's price point. The figures offer potential for use beyond the specific theme and the play value is there as well. A nice little set.
