Certainly the best set I've ever owned. Even at about 4 cents/peice, it was
pricy for my range, so I only got one. I'll probably regret that in about a
year, but the only way I could really justify getting more would be if I sold
some of them, and I think that might kind of kill the fun of the hobby for me.
(though I'm glad there are people out there who can enjoy building and selling
or auctioning at the same time.)
The main truck model is top-notch, but I don't get much enjoyment out of
keeping a model together unless I've personally designed it. (Even then models'
lives are precarious around here) I tore mine down after a few days and threw
together a nice WWII Panzer tank and a passable mech.
