The plane? Do you mean the helicopter? It's actually not that bad (has
some toolo bricks), I like that one, but the car is quite limited with the
chunky chassis, as is the motorcycle. The construction vehicles set has
some of the classic Toolo "beams" which I much prefer, can't comment on the
Rescue Base (Fire Engine) as I didn't buy that one (I wouldn't be able to
stand looking at that hideous grey BURP!)
The AW sets are much cheaper than Toolo was, but are not up to the quality
and versatility. If you were satisfied with the AW style of construction
you'd do quite well with one of each of the AW sets, however if you have
even a little bit of Toolo they kind of, well, clash badly style-wise (they
are however compatible).
I'll be interested to see how the AW pullback motor in 2947 turns out in April.
