"First of all, the model is larger than the box suggests. Nice original colour skim. Well designed and if assembled properly, it runs very smoothly. Don't worry too much about the modest piece count. In most Technic models the numbers are mainly made up of plugs. This set does have its fair share but actually, has I said earlier, ends up much larger than box or piece number suggests. Refer to photo for size comparison with Creator Modular Building. I've been building Technic sets since 1978 and I feel that this is one of the most underrated and best value sets ever produced. Time will tell but I think this is one set that will become very collectable in the future."
