I have 4 or 5, I forget which (I think 5) 3 or 4, I forget which, went
straight into my parts bins. I've never built one so can't say how the
gear shifter works. Maybe over winter solstice holiday I will build one,
but I doubt it, no time.
I'd probably be willing to sell off the shifter assemblies from 2 of
them if I could determine what all the parts were without a lot of
trouble (that is, if I can rouse myself to look in the instructions!)
and if there was interest.
At 1/2 off, the most I've paid for one, I think this set is an excellent
source of parts. One went into my golf windmill (since torn down... I
don't seem to tear much down but that went.) but all of them are here in
CO now, waiting time to use them in a big movable bridge project.
I don't think I would pay full price for it, but I hardly ever do for
Technic. Technic is only a source of motion and large scale structural
strength for me... YMMV, especially if you're a Technic head.

| Is the Space Shuttle worth getting? It looks like it has some cool stuff, but how many useful Technic parts are there? Gears? Motors? Beams? Thanks, jasper (26 years ago, 11-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)
