OK.
I'll defend the Camel as a good, even great, model, though. It isn't minifig
scale but neither are other model team sets. It's a bit bigger scale than
model team but it is along the same lines. I found it to be a very enjoyable
build. Heck, I even posted a review of it.
And the Minifig seems to be meeting a need, too.
