It looks cool, yes, but I try to avoid sets with Technic figures, as I
hardly ever use them.
BTW, this sets seems to be the only one which has a special piece, a 1x1
round plate with ball joint connector. What purpose does this have in
the model? How many are included?
I was thinking of getting the set just to have those specialized parts,
as they may prove useful when making 8880 suspension setups.
Oh, and those red 2x2x2 slopes, are they decorated?
