Great looking but not functional
" The set went together in under 15 minutes. It has a few tricky connections for younger builders so stick with the recommended age group or be prepared to help. Once together it had only a few places to hold onto. While the steering is unique, it's not very practical.
As a stand alone set I think it needs more to it to be really playable. With other sets it would be great. At a per brick price of 17 cents, it's a very pricey set! "

Another set in the Formula 1 Series
" If you have a young Formula 1 Racing fan in your house this would be a great set. It's a smaller version of the 8654 set. It shouldn't take more than a few hours to assemble, depending on the age of the child.
It has lots of extras, and a truck that's just under a foot long to store the car in. The set is a little pricey at a per brick price of nearly 15 cents. But, it is a licensed Ferrari product so you have to expect to pay extra. "

What a great set
" It took me a single evening to put it together. It was one of those sets that was really fun to build. I would stick close to the recommended age on this set. Lots of tight fitting parts that would frustrate younger builders.
The set looks great once completed. The interior is amazing looking. People don't believe it's Lego when they first see it.
At a per brick price of 8 cents, this is a great buy. "

LEGO Hard to Find Items: Race Truck(8041)

Great race car, okay truck
" Maybe it's because Super Race Truck racing isn't very popular in the United States, but I didn't really care for it. The cab feels flimsy, and the steering while pushing the truck seems a little more cumbersome then it should be. The fifth wheel (the part the trailer attaches to) is non functional and you would have to modify it.
The race car version of the set was very nicely done. There are some good building methods used. The car is very sturdy and holds up well to play.
I think children in the lower end of the recommended age group may need some help. The per brick price (<10 cents) is a great deal. "

A great set!
" The Compact Excavator was quick and easy to build. The Material Handler is a little more difficult and children in the recommended age group may need a little help.
The per brick price is great, and there are plenty of different parts to be reused to make other things. Purchasing more than one would not be a bad idea. "

Great shield
" The shark on the shield looks really cool. The shield like the sword is made of foam so their child safe. My nephews have been playing with their swords and shields for a week now and their still holding up. The shield could be a little bigger but still a great value.

A fun toy
" Purchased two of these for my nephews. They are much larger than they look here. Made of foam, nobodies getting hurt. Although they'll need a good sized room to play in. The price is good. I also purchased the shields and it was less than $20 per child.

Not the best of Theme
" It went together quick and easy. Someone younger than 7 could easly assemble this set. Nothing tricky. Once together there is really no where to hold onto. The parts connecting the rear tire bend easy. Feels like the set is going to fall apart.
The per brick price is a little high. If your looking to purchase an Atlantis set, I'd look at the others first. "

Cool Technic set
" This was a great set to build. Lots of interesting building methods: Making the motor move, the doors, the winch, the way the body raises and lowers. Lots of things for a new and seasoned Lego builder to learn. I built the buggy too, but it wasn't as cool a build as the Off Roader is. If your buying this for someone on the lower end of the recommended age, you may need to help them. The big tires are a bonus. The per brick price is great. Lots of parts to use on other projects...

Great set
" This is a great little set. It took under ten minutes to assemble. Even someone in the 5 to 6 year old age group could put this one together.
The power miner outfit is cool, it's silver (to reflect heat) and he has the new helmet style which looks awesome. Combustix is the new type of lava monster. If you have the others, you'll want him too. The set also contains the new blue dome. It has no hinges so it's completely round. Nice for other projects.
The set is a little high priced but the minifigs and parts are well worth it. "
